I'm very sad to rate this business so low. My take on it is a lack of integrity. My mother (who…read moredoesn't do tech) chose to get her own business class flight and apparently for Noseworthy this is a problem. They gave her misinformation about the airport to leave from and the date over the phone and so she booked her flight which then would have kept us in Ammon, Jordan (2 women alone) with no hotel and no way to get back to Tel Aviv. There was no offer to compensate and no admission of wrong doing. Somehow it was left to my mother to prove that it was Noseworthy's fault. Buyer beware...there is no integrity with this company if anything goes wrong, and if you talk to them on the phone, make sure you ask them to send you what was discussed in writing. My mother ended up having to spend $1800 on a new flight. Noseworthy also encouraged her to buy travel insurance and failed to tell her that it only covered ground transportation and wouldn't cover her flight because she was getting her own flight...another $600 wasted. The other thing is that they make you pay for the whole tour up front even though you are getting your own flight and they say that they will pay back the flight portion of the tour after you get home...waiting to see that money. There was another incident with her trying to cancel a hotel room 2 weeks ahead of time and they told her she couldn't do that so that was another $200 down the drain. We all know that there is no problem canceling hotel rooms 2 weeks ahead of time. That is a total of $2600 plus waiting to see if they actually reimburse for the tour flight. To be clear, my mother goes on tours regularly and makes her own flight reservations and has never had a problem. Their lack of willingness to take responsibility is mind boggling. Every person on our tour who made their own reservations had a problem and even some who didn't. I heard over and over again from people that they felt that they were speaking with 18 year olds.

I paid for Travel Insurance. I'm still waiting for my reimbursement for "Travel Interruption." It's been five months. I've given this lots of thought. I'm not sure where the problem lies. Do they not have enough staff to keep things well organized? Do they have poor leadership? is the profit margin either too low or too high for them to care? Do they focus on mediocrity b/c many of their tours are run by pastors with low self-esteem issues so they are easily manipulated? Do they count on the travelers being just "good church folk" who have never traveled before and don't know how to judge the level of services? Do they count on the "headiness" of the experiences of actually being in a foreign country to "cover a multitude of sins"? Do they count on people like me who did not even think to check YELP or Better Business Bureau for reviews because, well, after all, it's a "Christian" organization? Dunno. Maybe all of the above. (I hate how cynical this makes me sound.) I've traveled twice with EO. My first experience was in Egypt which was one of the first trips after COVID. I was willing to look the other way on a lot of the issues b/c, well, I figured everyone was getting reorganized after being out of commission for three years. Maybe. My second trip proved me wrong. My second trip was 5 months ago in Greece. The land portion of the trip was a solid B. The air transport was AWFUL - I was not allowed to upgrade much less book my own transportation - but the tour guide was knowledgeable, articulate, and well-organized. It was the "island extension" that was a total and complete nightmare. They had overbooked. Again. We were later told this had been happening "all summer and EO knew". So, we were placed on an inferior ... "tub". We learned that it had been used by W.H.O. several times to house refugees after major disasters. And, it looked it. It was old and smelled/reeked of petrol. There was mold in the shower and toilet. The carpeting was terribly water-stained. The food was nicely presented but tasted bland. The coffee was dishwater. The staff were, for the most part, surly and rude and, I think, weary of all the complaints which they knew were true and there was nothing they could do to help or change things. We missed visiting two islands because . . . well, who knows? We were given at least four different explanations. Check that: "excuses". I documented everything with pictures and submitted them to EO. FINALLY, after four or five exchanges, it was agreed that I qualified for "trip interruption" insurance. Filing for that has been a complete nightmare. Absolutely NO help or coordination from EO. It's been five months. Still no reimbursement. I'm not holding my breath. But, also not. recommending EO to anyone. My church just posted an EO advert in our national newsletter. I wrote IMMEDIATELY. They are investigating. I'm quite certain that the advertising account will be pulled. I could say more, but I'll stop here. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I am a Christian. I am ordained. This company is an embarrassment to everything good and true and noble about my religion.

I highly recommend going to see her or setting an appointment for any 7+ day travels and definitely any over seas trip. She is very easy to talk to and understanding.

The answer we received was there were flight cancellations and that is the reason for the 5 stops. A quick search shows we've could've gotten to Greece with 1 layover. Again, buyer beware! We are now stuck with a miserable experience getting to Greece where we are going to be exhausted when we get there.

I was told by Noseworthy I could book the seats upon receiving the airline tickets from them but this was not true. In Germany, we were once again told by the person at the ticket counter the only person allowed to book seats before the trip was the tour agent and that could have been done at the time of purchase.. Therefore, we were spread out all over the plane because other passengers had already chosen their seats. The airport was cold and it was also closed because we arrived in the early morning hours. There was de-icing of the plane before we could take off. We were delayed for hours from leaving because they were waiting for security to arrive to escort passengers off the plane we were to board. My suggestion is to book your own flight because we arrived in Israel over 24 hours later and exhausted. Our tour group consisted of 8 buses which is far too many to have the best tour experience. Our tour guide would leave when the bus was partially unloaded and we constantly had to search for him in the huge crowds. He did not hold up the sign for our group which is customary. He also sat on the bus for long periods of times in silence without telling us anything about the country. The President of Noseworthy was approached by others who had concerns only to be brushed off. His only concern was to stay with Perry Stone and the others traveling with him. After paying in full covid hit and we could not go. Two years later after Noseworthy held the money they invoiced us for additional funds.
