Travel At Its Finest
We just returned from a 15 day cross country train trip sponsored by this company.
If you are looking for a organized, coordinated, client satisfied, organization to travel with, then this is not the company you’re looking for.
I could write a book of examples of what we endured but here are just a few.
1. Starting day one Wash. DC Union station- where to wait for your luggage-told to stand in different places- then told to stand over there- no pre planning
2. Seating available on train—at two of our train boarding’s they were short of seats-20 to 30 people seating in a observation car for several hours, while seating throughout the train was found.
3. Seating comfort—the seats were great for a 4 to 5 hour trip.
4. The best restaurant we stopped at during the whole trip was Golden Corral—you figure it out
5. The hotels range from 4 star to no star
6. Logistics- we were grouped in 3 groups-each group had a guide- many times groups were given different info on the same activity- the guides were not communicating- where to have luggage- when to be at a bus
7. The tours we paid for- some never happened- some were a waste of money-could have done better on your own. Nothing as described in the itinerary- what you were paying for
8. We lost a whole day—15 day tour—we return home on day 14 – and no one can tell us why-was suppose to be 2 days in Albuquerque N.M.- arrived one evening, left next morning
9. I’m grateful for being able to see this country. I’m grateful for a safe trip back. But as long as I am able to decide what travel agency to employ in the future—IT WON’T BE “TRAVEL AT ITS FINEST”
