I used the restroom and there was a staff member who was sweeping the trash and it was clean. I also purchased a Big Mac ($8.49) and medium fries ($5.69) at McDonald's. The Big Mac had two beef patties, Big Mac sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions, all on a sesame seed bun. I haven't had McDonald's in a long time so I am not sure how the prices are compared to other locations but it was filling and tasty. Service was friendly and I got my order in a matter of minutes. There are plenty of tables. I connected to the free WiFi and took a work meeting. There were staff members cleaning tables and the dining area. The service plaza was clean and spacious.

I was denied service and yelled at by a rude and disrespectful attendant. As I pulled up, the left side of the gas station had cones on it, I'm assuming due to gas pumps not working. There was one car on the other side, pumping gas and I went ahead and drove up behind it. The attendant started screaming at me to back up. I asked, why do I need to back up when my gas tank is on the right side. He just continued to ignore me and yell out to go on the other side and back up. I tried to explain to him that I'm standing in exact position as the car in front of me and willing to wait. Again he ignored me and yelled out to back up, mocking me and saying, don't you know how to back up? As the car in front of me was done, there was plenty of room for it to go forward and exit, but instead the attendant screamed at me to back up and even though I did back up, the car in front just exited going forward. As I was about to go forward, to have my car filled up, the attendant deliberately ignored me and let other cars go ahead of me, completely ignoring me. I asked for the supervisor, he said no and turned his back to me, servicing other cars. This by far was the worst experience I've ever encountered at the full service gas station. I was ignored, mocked and yelled at for absolutely no reason at all! Never going back!

As an independent personality type I was leery of taking any kind of group tour where they tell me…read morewhat to do and when to do it. But travel planning can be daunting so when my sister told me about Tauck I gave them a shot. Now with over a dozen Tauck tours under my belt I can say they're not perfect but pretty darned close. Pricing isn't cheap but a very good value since it's truly all inclusive. I've learned to avoid itineraries involving lengthy bus trips. As part of a group one is forced to socialize with many kinds of people, invariably there are a few annoying blowhards/Debbie Downers, but they can be avoided and most people are nice. Included meals range from just tolerable (river boat and Italy) to abundant and delicious (mostly). I have found Tauck's air department to be disorganized and pricey so I book my own flights. No biggie since I'm a control freak anyway. On the plus side,Tauck uses luxury hotels and incorporates off-the-beaten-track experiences into their itineraries, for example a small funky art gallery in Quebec that I wouldn't have found on my own. Scheduling is somewhat flexible with activity options offered. We do a short pre-stay to rest up beforehand b/c tours can be hectic. Tauck takes care of airport transport, touring, luggage schlepping from inside the room and just about everything else. Tour leaders are well educated, friendly and fun, and do their best to cater to every client's needs. Not an easy job. I don't use a travel agent to book with them, just call direct myself. Book early to get desired dates for popular tours especially cruises. When I travel independently for awhile I miss Tauck's "Tour Nanny" experience and just have to book another one!

I recently completed Tauck's eight-day Nova Scotia tour, and unfortunately it did not meet the…read moreexpectations created by the company's advertising. My biggest criticism is that the marketing does not accurately reflect the experience. The website presents this as a premium, first-class tour, but that was not my experience. The motorcoach was an ordinary tour bus--the same type commonly used on much less expensive tours. Since we spent many hours on the bus, comfortable seating was important, and I found it lacking. That affected my enjoyment of the entire trip. The included meals were another disappointment. Healthy options were limited, and I rarely finished a meal. Looking around the dining room, I noticed many other guests also left much of their food uneaten. The sightseeing itself was underwhelming. Much of the itinerary consisted of well-known tourist stops that could easily be visited independently. I expected more unique experiences and behind-the-scenes access--things that would justify choosing an organized premium tour. The accommodations were acceptable, and they may well represent some of the better options available in Nova Scotia. However, they still did not match the first-class image that Tauck's advertising creates. My final disappointment involved the airport transfer. My flight was at 4:50 p.m., yet the group was dropped off at the airport around 10:00 a.m. While Tauck advertises that airport transfers are included, requiring guests to spend nearly seven hours waiting at the airport is, in my opinion, an unreasonable interpretation of that promise. Overall, my concern is less about any single issue than about the gap between the marketing and the actual experience. If the tour were advertised honestly as a good-quality, standard coach tour, my expectations would have been different. Instead, I felt the company oversold the experience, and that lack of transparency left me disappointed. Ethics's in this company (Tauck) appears to be nonexistent.
