"Because I have Stage 4 cancer, I chose to spend the extra money for trip insurance in case my cancer recurred. When a scan showed that it had, I cancelled my trip. I sent to them the medical documents from the Mayo Clinic confirming my new diagnosis. They sent me an email telling me my oncologist needed to fill in a form. I asked my oncologist to do that and I submitted it by fax on April 6th. When I didn’t hear anything, I sent them more medical documentation and asked them to please push forward my refund as I have travel expenses from a clinical trial coming up. Several days later I received an email that they needed further documentation from my doctor. How much more documentation do you need than the patient has stage 4 metastatic cancer and is starting a clinical trial??? This is heartless to me. Please don’t plan to travel through Road Scholar if you’re medically vulnerable!!"

"The tour had an excellent itinerary and activities, giving a broad overview of Peru - we loved it. Accommodations (with one exception) were great, and all had an included breakfast buffet. The tour's included activities (e.g. cooking class, pisco tour and tasting, potato park, boat tour of Isla Ballestas) were terrific. Appreciated the two included flights which saved a lot of driving time. Logistics were handled, and everything was smooth and easy (thanks to our CEO, Mary Chu!)."

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

"The trip was well laid out. Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The only complaint is some of our travel documents that were sent out were not in English. If your sending documents out correspondence should be in both the native language and the language of the people the correspondence to. Other than that a great first time experience."

"For anyone wanting to see a lot of Morocco this tour is perfect. It really does cover a lot of the country and provides a very good insight into Moroccan life - for the rich and not so rich. Everything was very well organised and both the tour guide and driver were excellent. As well as being extremely knowledgeable they were on hand at all time to help, advise and assist with things. The local guides were also excellent and full of interesting information. Being able to sample local foods from the markets and street vendors was really good, as was the tagline cookery class. On the other hand the cous-cous demonstration was very poor and the facilities at the hotel where it was provided less than acceptable. In fact the place was so dirty it completely put me off eating there. Apart from this hotel - the hotel Awayou, all of the hotels were of a reasonable standard., the exceptions being the Chebbi Dune Luxury Desert Camp which was very good indeed. A wonderful desert experience with first class food, accommodation and lovely staff. The Riad Basim was also superb, everything about it beautifully done and a haven of tranquility from the chaos of Marrakech. Spending our last two nights in the beautiful hotel made a perfect ending to a very memorable trip. We were a very small group - just 3 people, and our guide didn't organise a group tip. This made things difficult at times because we had no idea of a suitable amount to tip our local guides. As a consequence I spent far more on tipping than I had budgeted for. I think it would be helpful for Explore to give guidance on tipping for local guides where no group tip is organised. A final point on the name of the trip "A Taste of Morocco'. I presume this to be a play on words, meaning the tour takes in a lot of cities but also provides interesting culinary experiences. It certainly does both but a little more detail on the culinary element might be useful. For example, a copy of the recipes for cous-cous and tagine would have been helpful. Although the ingredients of the these were shown to us there was almost no information about quantities, cooking times etc. and both people giving the cookery demonstrations spoke no English so asking questions wasn't possible. We also never did discover the ingredients that make up Ras al Hanout - I guess I'll just have to return to find out!"
