8/23/2022. Today, I…read morereceived a telephone call from John the co-owner of Corporate Travel. John wanted to apologize to us for the poor service we received from Corporate Travel since my original review was posted. John explained many areas of his business with his brother in law as a family business and how prior to the Pandemic, they had a thriving business with 100 employees. They had spent a great deal of money switching to an "off site" computer storage company that went out of business at the end of March 2020 after the shut down and lost a great bit of information with all those who were to be traveling, the postponements, not getting their monies back from all the commitments they had throughout Europe etc. None of that was my fault, but he wanted to let me know that basically their business had very little income if any income for those 2 years and yet somehow they were able to provide a service to us. I fully agreed. I think John told me that they had 18 employees now and that when they had to lay off their employees at the beginning of the Pandemic (some who had been long term employees) and that they reached out to other businesses to help ease this transition for these employees. Yes it was the Christian thing to do as John stated. I reiterated my points on how his company changed and still in my opinion, not for the better. The frustration level of receiving an email but not from anyone in specific! John knew nothing of this and was very sympathetic to our frustration. John wishes I would have reached out to him, in retrospect he is correct. For that I am sorry. That's why I am raising this review to a 4 stars. Even my wife said, that if the Diocese of Saginaw ever took another trip (possibly Rome or Jerusalem) that we would consider it if our friends (new friends from the Oberammergau trip or our good friends from Bay City) were going. Plus if I have concerns, now I have John's extension and he said that in the future if I have problems to give him a call. I surely will! Thank you John for reaching out, wish I had done the same.

The Hotel Grand Baglioni in Florence had a great resource. Each room was supplied with a phone loaded with everything that you would need. It was a game Changer for us.

At your service, Majestic Concierge exceeded all expectations as they provided excellent service…read morewith a smile on my last-minute, multifaceted task from across the country. I highly recommend trusting this organization with your business. Why? Well, I knew from the moment they engaged that I was working with professionals. The concierge needed to drive across town after normal business hours to retrieve a heavy, giant, sentimental item at the precise time it needed to be picked up, port it to FEDEX, stay while it was packaged, weighed, and shipped, while following other instructions - all for less than $1 a minute (including gas)! While peace of mind is priceless, Carl, the owner and founder, ensured the team delivered a high-quality experience at a remarkable value. Even though I'm out of town, I will keep Majestic Concierge in mind for future errands for family and friends in the area.

It's an incredible amount of information and tasks to complete in the time that we had, and he kept us to the schedule and got it done. More than just getting it done, he took the time to give each student one on one time, and addressed all questions and concerns. There was lots of additional help that was there for safety and for basic instruction as well. Kevin, other Chris to name a couple were awesome and very helpful. If you tend to be a bit on the cold side, definitely recommend a thick wetsuit for the pool because it can be a little chilly in there. Overall the class was a blast, and so much fun to do with friends as well. 10/10 would recommend! I can't wait to do my open water!

It was everything I had hoped for. We visited special sites associated with the Anglo-Saxon period of history, beginning with a magical night on Holy Island. Prof. Drout presents the history of the sites and the people who lived there, and was able to connect together all of the locations that we visited. The hotels were small and individual, and very much the type I would choose if I were traveling on my own. The trip was well organized, and the other participants interesting to get to know. While I will continue traveling independently, I hope to be able to take another Scholarly Sojourns tour.
