If you want to get scammed by Vi the owner, this is the place to come to for your travel needs. We…read morewanted to travel to Singapore, Malaysia, Bali, and Taiwan. He initially booked the whole trip with air fair and the touring itinerary that seemed to be fair pricings so we agreed to it....once we agreed to it he said, the price is now increased to $700 more and it was only one day later. Wasn't too happy but we proceeded anyways. Then the very next day we get another email from Vi, he tells us there is another increase in price roughly $400 for the both of us. His excuse was that we booked too soon he needed much more time in advance. By this time we are looking at our trip to be roughly $10,000 for flying coach too, not even business class. Extremely livid at this point! Well, on the touring company "Charming Holidays" website and the brochure he handed me and my wife it clearly is written they leave every Mon, Thurs, Sat. Furthermore, this is not what he initially informed us. If this is the case then why did you quoted us the prices and worked out the whole flying schedule and touring package, and the price with us? Be warned: Vi, his business style is to pressure you into giving him your passports so he can save your spot immediately and then he will charge you a lot more once he knows you are interested. As for doing the Visa you can do it yourself online. Don't let him scare you by saying it is very hard to do it yourself and there are frauds online. Make sure you go to the government website and save yourself $200 per person in comparison to what he charges you (which is outrageous). He has no people skills what so ever...always trying to rush you on the phone and hang up when the conversation has not ended. He will try to convince you to travel to somewhere else instead of the country you wanted to go to. This place deserve a "zero" star not even 1 star review.

STRESS-FREE I have been using DayTripper Tours around 15…read moreyears for day trips from San Diego. (I have not been on any of their multi-day trips, although my mom has and has enjoyed them). They are an ideal stress-free way to see certain sights that you wouldn't necessarily see under your own steam. Trips I've participated in include visits to the Disney Concert Hall, Jeopardy live taping, America's Got Talent audition taping, Hollywood Bowl concert, Nasa's JPL, the Pasadena Rose Parade, John Wayne yacht tour and Camp Pendleton tour and museum. WELL ORGANIZED AND PROFESSIONAL Day Tripper Tours are always well organized with informative, friendly guides and professional bus drivers and clean, modern buses with foot rests. COMFORT STOPS They always incorporate a roughly 20-30 minute 'comfort' stop for the restroom and fast food options on the way there and back. There's a toilet on board the bus, but they really prefer you to use the restroom at the stops. They always hand out snacks and water on board. As with most tours, you're under their schedule, so sometimes things are slightly rushed, in other words, you don't get to linger on your own time. Pick-ups usually run on time, but sometimes traffic can delay things, which is out of their control. PICK-UP LOCATIONS We have used the pick-up locations in Rancho Bernardo, Carlsbad and La Jolla. I wish they picked-up at Rancho Bernardo more often as that's the most convenient for me. Most patrons are seniors, but I've been using them since my early 40s. It's fun to chat with your bus companions, especially if you're joining the tour solo. I have taken less tours in recent years as their prices have gone up to typically around the $150 mark, but when I do take them, I enjoy them. If you get their e-mails, watch for discounts when they're trying to fill a tour. Tips to the guide and driver are also suggested and envelopes are provided. You can either browse their printed catalog by mail or take a look at their tours on-line. One thing to note is there are no refunds if you cancel due to illness, etc., although they do offer trip insurance, but I've never purchased it. If they happen to cancel the tour, you get a refund. They also offer gift certificates, which makes a nice gift for someone that enjoys their tours. I recommend Day Tripper Tours for fun days out, either solo or with a friend.

Is .250 a good batting average? For a baseball player, maybe…read more Have already taken two pleasant trips with them, and have one more coming up in November. In all three cases, we made the bookings over the phone with friendly people, who made good comments and recommendations. Have received discounts for "early bookings." On Saturday, July 18, we received their email about a Las Vegas trip in October, and we dialed them immediately to make another early booking; but they were closed, so left a voice mail for a return call on Monday, July 20. On Monday, as usual, we requested the early booking discount. This predictable and routine request was denied, even though they still had seats to sell; they said they hit their limit of 20 people for the discount (but how do we know that?) I terminated the call without a booking. Shortly after the unsuccessful phone call, my wife went online to make the booking. $50 discounts were offered online, which my wife accepted. But by the time my wife was at checkout, these discounts had suddenly disappeared. Friends signed up because of a suggestion from me. Very surprised by this harsh, disreputable service.

We've used Adventure Vacations twice and both vacations were wonderful…read more In 2018, Mark Anderson and his team put together a 3-week vacation to Europe - England, Belgium, France and Italy. All of the transportation worked out great, we were pleased with the hotels and the day tours they planned for us. This summer, we've just returned from an 11-day trip to Greece. We were told Greece is inexpensive, which it is, once you get there. Unfortunately, travel costs are high in 2023 as everyone is getting over the Covid times and ready to see the world. Mark and his team made so many itineraries to help us meet our budget, which we did increase in the end. The hotels were great, each place was different, the private cars they arranged worked out great. The best part was at the cliffside resort in Santorini, where we were upgraded to a suite with a private pool because we were clients of Adventure Vacations. Definitely recommend this company.

The itinerary Micehlle created for us for us was extremely detailed, including the best hotels throughout England and Scotland with private limos, drivers and guides.

She also partnered with a UK travel agency who checked in with us every day to see how our trip was going and reminded us of the next day events. It made us feel that Just Escape Travel really had our backs and was with us every day. Very professional and accomplished to make a trip exactly to our specifications. We really appreciated Michelle's very professional efforts to make our trip with our granddaughter very memorable. Thanks for everything Michelle! Frank A.

While that may be slightly more expensive than other places, it is well worth the fast service and quality of the photos. Bonus: They take walk-ins and have parking available.
