Johannes S. | Traveled in May
The trip and the organization were great. The Bus temperature was too low. Everybody was freezing and got a cold.
Robert S. | Traveled in April
Very informative, lots of beautiful country to see and very friendly people
Anonymous | Traveled in April
Less group dinners Time to dine on your own & free to ask others to join in smaller setting
Anonymous | Traveled in February
Penguins included bus ride from 3:00pm to midnight that was substituted last minute with 90 minutes in a beach town with nothing to do an hour at an abandoned visitor center with nothing to do and a tour guide who talked for ten minutes about penguins and a tour of penguins for an hour. Got separated from the group on a flight because they overbooked the tour. Tons of optional activities that you pay for. Included activities were mostly things that could be done for free on your own. No communication between company and tour guide as far as payments made prior to trip
Timothy B. | Traveled in February
Suzie our tour director was the best tour director we have ever had to lead a tour. She was both pleasant and knowledgeable. She provided information in a clear and concise manner. She went out of her way to make sure all of needs were addressed. She interacted well with all the guests. She seemed to truly enjoy her job which motivated her to provide excellent service. The itinerary was good. Perhaps an additional stop to the Marlborough district could be added.
