I tried to resolve it with the Laurie, the vice president, but she more or less told me "it is what it is."She said Apollo Adventures has 300,000 clients. Are they happy clients or did they get ripped off? Regardless of what they tell you, and after paying over $3000 for a fee to join and $299 annual membership fee, you can expect to receive 2%- 5% less than prices you will find online. Don't let this company scam you!

I had a very disappointing experience with EF Educational Tours customer service…read more I contacted the company two months before the deadline they imposed to request flexibility regarding my situation. Reaching out well in advance, I expected at least a conversation or some level of understanding. Instead, the response I received was rigid and dismissive. There was no empathy, no attempt to offer alternatives, and no outreach to help resolve the issue. I was simply told that I could reach out again after the tour if I still needed assistance -- which defeats the entire purpose of contacting them proactively. For a company that works with families and students on expensive international travel experiences, I expected a much higher level of customer care. If flexibility and responsive customer service are important to you, you may want to think carefully before booking with EF. Based on my experience, their policies appear to take priority over people, even when customers reach out well in advance to try to resolve an issue.

Oh here is 30 soles. Wow. - Paid for a 9 day trip & received basically a 6.5 day trip, we were just thrown on someone else's trip to give extra money to their agent.

As soon as the store opened (8am) we were assisted by a gentleman who works there, named Jose. He searched and found us a really amazing deal.The best price ever boarding the same day, and to sit by the window. I heard that in the area of Boston they are one of the two agencies with the best prices because buy directly from the companies. This travel agent seemed knowledgeable and was very polite and quick. We left the place in less than 20 min with everything (paperwork) ready to board the same day in the afternoon. The bad one: (over the phone) I made reservations and the staff member (not Jose) told me I could go and pay until a certain date. When I called her according to what we had arranged to confirm if the store would be open because it was snowing, she informed me I had lost my reservations! I did new a new one and tried to pay with credit card over the phone twice during that day to avoid the same problem. She was unable to do it because the system was having trouble. To summarize: she made me lose 200 bucks because she messed up twice and each time the ticket got 100 bucks more expensive and I had to rearrange my plans twice because of her inefficiency. Really annoying and I was not offered anything by her mistake. Conclusion: they are very good at finding good prices and are great if you pay in person specially cash. You go there, do the business and leave. If you want to do something more modern, like using telephone or email, it doesn't work. And they do not seem to care because they have loads of Brazilian customers who would not buy from another place because they don't want to have to do business in English.

Good WiFi, good climate control in the room, no complaints there. And the location is a plus, you're a 7-10 minute walk to the MBTA (Central Station), and you can easily get over the bridge to Back Bay if you're up for a longer walk. The bathroom in my room was a little outdated relative to the rest of the furniture. Especially the shower, it felt like it was a decade older than everything else, and while that didn't affect water pressure, it was still a bit offputting. The fitness center is a TINY room at the end of the hall on the fourth floor, I strongly suspect it's a converted guest room, and the small square footage will make you think the same. It has a few cardio machines and some dumbbells, along with one cable exercise rack, but there's not much space for more than maybe eight people at a time. Still, this is a great property to consider, especially if you can book at a time when rates are lower than the other expensive hotels in Boston. I've found this Le Meridien can sometimes be $100 per night less than surrounding hotels, which makes it a steal for the quality you get.

This location was more reasonable compared to others as hotels are very expensive in boston area. We spent most of the day in boston and came in for check in around 9-10pm. Parking situation is tricky the hotel has parking but is pretty expensive. We just found street parking that was 8am-8pm for over night parking and made sure to put money in the meter in the morning through the app The staff were nice and explained hotel amenities well. I guess they take $25 resort fee due to being partnered with Marriott or something which is kind of absurd. They compensated with $12.5 voucher that we can use at their dining/bar. They do take your credit card info for any damages during the stay. They gave us the key card and we used the elevator to get to our room. Our room was on the 5th floor and was relatively nice with standard accommodations. Everything seemed to be clean and refilled. They have refillable glass bottle you can take to get some water and ice. There was some water already on it so we had to wash them just to make sure they are not dirty. We went around the corner from our room to get some water. There were huge ice machine and filtered water machine similar to what you see in gym. Ice machine seemed to be broken and no ice seemed to come out. Water machine was ok. AC seemed to be working well and kept the room cool but was making sounds time to time every time it came on during the night. I did check out the gym as well on the 4th floor. Gym was small but had some cycling machine, treadmills, weights and chairs, ...etc. small but everything worked fine. There were some towels and cups and water as well. I ended up using the voucher at the bar for 2 bottled water and a chocolate croissant which was $15 so i only had to pay $2.5 which was nice but 2 bottle of water for 10 is expensive. Chocolate Croissant and water was ok nothing special. We checked out at 12pm and spend more time in boston. Overall the experience was ok standard hotel with good accommodation. Price is ok for boston area, down side is resort fee, parking, and malfunctioning ice machine.

I had previously cruised twice after booking on my own via the cruise line website (Carnival) or Costco's travel agency website (Holland America Line.) Using a travel agent got us a fair price (possibly not the cheapest, but that wasn't my goal) ALONG WITH added perks and access to "full service" from my agent if/when I had questions. We had an "added value" gift from our TA on board that Crystal cruise, too. Now, in 2022 (hoping it is post-COVID, but maybe mid-COVID is more accurate...) we were grateful to book an upcoming cruise (HAL) with Admiral Pat again. We had a HAL cruise canceled in 2020, and the online travel agency we'd booked with in 2019 was impossible to reach. We felt lucky to get a fair result after months of frustration, had future cruise credit to use up, and decided that returning to booking with full service TA would add to our comfort with booking a cruise at this time. Admiral Pat answers questions quickly, handles transactions efficiently, and seems to care that we get a vacation we will enjoy. It crossed my mind to look and see if they have a website today, and the Yelp reviews popped up. Since none are recent, I wanted to give my personal evaluation of this agency. We live in the Boston area, but have never met our TA in person. I believe I initially found Admiral Pat's by looking up travel agencies in our state on a TA locator on the Crystal Cruises website, but that was years ago now.
