What travelers are saying

"My first Avalon cruise/land tour to Vietnam/Cambodia was the best experience of my 80 plus cruises. We recently took the Avalon Egypt/Jordan cruise/land tour and it was the polar opposite. Most sites were awesome but the tour needed a guide in addition to the Egyptologist, who didn’t look out for the safety/best interests of the guests. I submitted a detailed review of Egypt and Jordan but have not yet heard back."

What travelers are saying

"Just returned from Italy. Guides were very informative. Hotels went downhill with each city. Dinners which were included were absolutely horrible - vegetable lasagna in Italy really? Worst part was our guide Alessandro did not wait for us when the group met for the taxi to the airport - we were 5 minutes late. He lied about calling our room - front desk said he had not. Our friends reminded him we were missing but he left anyway - could have been a costly disaster if we didn't run to catch up. Never again!"

"I am a 43 year old Indian male who loves to travel, likes to read and research places and would love to be treated with dignity and respect which he deserves. This is my review of the 4 days- historic Scotland tour that I took with star tours in Wembley, London from 18-21st July'23. I and my wife boarded from Wembley. We started on a bad note. I had initially requested for a Watford pickup but later when I changed it to the origin point (Wembley), I was asked to pay an admin fee of GBP 15 per head (they later asked for only GBP15). I mean, why would you ask for extra money when I am coming all the way to the origination point and saving you the hassle to pick and drop me at some other location? Bottomline- please read all the fine prints. Let's talk about the tour- This is a great tour if a) you are an indian or of an indian origin b) you are very particular about indian food c) you would prefer company of only fellow indians (and I say this as an indian with utmost respect) This is not a great tour if a) you would like to have a knowledgable tour guide who actually knows about the route, the places, the history b) you are genuinely interested in the places you visit c) you would like to be treated with courtesy and respect that you deserve after paying 400 pounds per person d) you would like some music on the tour ( the bluetooth speakers did not work and the guide had to use his phone and put the microphone near his phone speaker) The tour representative/guide Shaji Vethody was so frustratingly naive and disrespectful that at one point of time I actually volunteered to take the passengers through the history and significance of places that we were paying to visit. He allowed that once but I guess he became insecure later and did not allow it citing safety reasons. His overall attitude was like "you are a bunch of fellow Indians and I would expect you to be only concerned about theplas and bhujias and antakshari, I don't really expect you to be either knowledgable or inquisitive. If you do ask me to do my job then I am within my rights to shut you off in a disparaging manner". If this is how we treat each other then I do not expect the foreigners to treat us any differently. I really regret choosing this tour on this account as I am very particular about knowing and understanding the significance of places that I visit on a tour. The food was decent but the tone of this gentleman and his overall attitude bordered on the disrespectful in my opinion. At one point even the British driver said something about India with a racist overtone (When the passengers objected, Shaji had a word with him and then apologized on his behalf) About the points of visit- the itinerary http://bookings.startours.co.uk/Tour/04-Days-Historic-Scotland#MarkersMapCanvas felt like a typical tick mark exercise without someone to guide us but it was still entertaining The hotels were comfortable but very far from the city center. Btw The food was Indian and delicious. Overall I would not recommend this tour if you are an actual travel buff."

What travelers are saying

"I am a 12 time traveler with Grand Circle and OAT. But maybe no more. They are impossible to reach by phone without waiting for hours. I even tired their emergency phone number and was on hold for hours. What if I had been stranded in a foreign country? They cancelled my Eastern Europe to Black Sea Cruise in Sept 2021 and cited "covid" or "civil unrest" issues. Baloney. They cancelled because they did not sell out the cruise and lied about it to me. I know because I went with Viking during the same month with no excuses like Grand Circle gave me. Add to that they promised me a $1,000 credit on my next trip- which was to Antarctica in December. The invoice they sent me showed the credit- and 1 month later a new invoice arrived with the credit removed. Why? Another lie? Something is really wrong here with the company now and I would suggest be very careful with bookings as they are not the same company I traveled with for the past 12 years."

What travelers are saying

"My wife and I were on the Smithsonian Journeys Splendors of Australia and New Zealand between April 13 and May 2, 2018. Smithsonian is rated by this site as Luxury travel. However, Smithsonian "farms out" the logistics for their trip to Odysseys Unlimited. Odysseys booked within country air travel with the lowest cost air carriers. Flights were cancelled from Ayers Rock to Sydney and from Queenstown New Zealand to Rotorua. Another flight was significantly delayed so that we did not arrive at our Christchurch destination until 2:00 am, making for a really tired next day. Odysseys Unlimited compensated us $400 per person for missing a day in Sydney and paid for an excursion in Auckland for missing Rotorua. This was wholly inadequate, given that these were highlights of the trip. In addition, our tour guide was rude to several people on the trip. If Smithsonian Journeys is truly a luxury travel outfit, as we had believed, then they would not be farming out travel logistics to such a chinch company as Odysseys Unlimited. We will think twice about traveling with Smithsonian again, and so should others."
