BEWARE this was one of the worst experiences I have have ever had with a company and how dare you market my picture used in a review of your poor performance. No sorry no phone call no pilot and had to dispute the charge... bad humans

What a wonderful experience !…read more I booked a flight lesson on VirginExperiences and had no issues receiving information / confirmation after booking, and when I had questions. It was very easy to get to the location once you turn into the street! It was affordable and fun; our instructor Daniel was very informative and easy going! I felt at ease during the whole flight! He was professional and calm which I always appreciate when learning new things because it can be stressful when you know your life is on the line ! You come in ten minutes before your lesson, sign a waiver, fly and if you have any payment left due you should pay at the end, we paid in full through the website. Everything took less than 10min from our arrival to get into the plane! Very laid back and easy experience

I went on a free tour of Sally Dark Rides and left feeling like my mind was blown. First of all - I…read morehad no idea this was a huge warehouse in Downtown Jacksonville. Nor did I realize most of the dark rides across the whole world are created and developed here! It was amazing!! Our tour guide led us through the building while showing us all of the stages of creating an epic dark ride. This made me think about amusement parks in a whole different way. The tour was about an hour and was very informative. We asked lots of questions and met people from different departments along the way. Highly recommend booking a free tour and checking this out. It would be great for kids as well!

I need to start b my saying that this part of our trip to Florida was not planned! My 11 yo LOVES…read moreanimatronics, most especially, Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF). He originally wanted to visit a much smaller place in Orlando, which is a one man operation charging $375. It was a bit too far and too expensive for what it was so I decided to do my own research of places he would love, Sally Corporation became the place. I filled out the reservation form online and was told there were no spots available during our time in Florida. I couldn't take no for an answer. I emailed back explaining how much my son wants to be a Robotics Engineer and that we would wait as long as we needed to snag a spot. We got an email back the next day that two spots opened up!!! We made our way downtown and parked for free in the back. We entered to learn that the tour was also FREE...FREE! This facility is HUGE! They are arguably the largest producer of Dark Ride Amusements in the US and don't just make the robotic aspect of the animatronics, but they handle EVERY aspect of the creation and completion. From make up, costumes, design, voices, all of that! We were thrilled to see they had a...yep...FIVE NIGHTS OF FREDDY'S attraction! If you've ever been to he Ripley's in San Antonio, you will see one of their biggest sellers there, a ginormous T-Rex, that's their baby that sells for $90,000! The tour takes you to each department and you are truly immersed in their production. It is an working operation so you get to see the people behind the scenes at work, which was SO DAMN INSPIRING for my 11 yo who has told me for 4 TM years that this is what he wants to do in life. He got to see what his future could be like, which is absolutely priceless. The staff, facilities, location, displays, animatronics, all were 5 stars! Hands down a MUST when in Jacksonville! Come for a 10 or 11am tour and then take the FREE Skyway (Tram) to Hemming Park and Check our Sweet Peet's. Your kids will have the best day ever!

This was my first time on an airboat, and it definitely did not disappoint. While I wish we had seen a bit more wildlife, we still got to spot an alligator, a few turtles, and some beautiful ospreys along the way. The music added a really fun energy to the ride and made the experience even more memorable. Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a unique and exciting adventure.

She did so with my just sending her an email, as I had to go to work. She stayed online with rep and fixed everything and saved me money to boot.

Megan Sams was the travel consultant who worked on my arrangements. She was WONDERFUL!…read more Meg arranged tours with a couple of companies making the switch from one tour to another seamless. When I was concerned about being an older traveler, she arranged a day off so I could relax and do the wash (LOL) I was away for a total of 6 weeks, I traveled by all means of transport. All my hotels and tours were without a glitch. When I was a bit uncertain about a transfer she WAS available and made it all smooth. Megan was the best - thank you so very much for all your planning I had the best time! Karen McGovern

I have so many wonderful things to say about Mary and her team that I don't know where to start…read more She's the absolute best and helped to make our destination wedding stress-free and exactly what we wanted. Mary was extremely responsive and took care of all the hassle with our reservations, guest reservations, contacting the wedding team at South Coast to make sure everything was correct, and following up with everyone about everything, etc. Using a travel agent did not cost us anything and she took care of all the busy work. It was the most wonderful experience with Mary and we will use her for all future bookings! Important to note that not all Sandals travel agents are the same. 100% book your Sandals vacation with an agent who is part of the Chairman's Royal Club. It is an elite group of Sandal's travel agents and is by far the best way to go....better than direct, better than online, and better than with any other travel agent. Mary is part of the elite Chairman's Royal Club, so you know she's good. I'm so thankful for Mary! She went above and beyond and now that I've used her, I can't believe I ever considered trying to do it on our own. She will take care of you for sure! I highly suggest getting on a call with her so she can answer any questions and make your wedding/vacation dreams come true! Thank you Mary!!!
