I've been meaning to write this review because without the assistance of Elaine and Melody, our…read moretrip to Beijing, X'ian, Shanghai, and Chongqing wouldn't have been possible! It was a lengthy process to get visas done, book plane & train tickets, and have private tour guides in 2-3 months time. But they made it happen! All accommodations were clean and modern except for Beijing. But when we mentioned it to Elaine about the condition of the room, she took care of the situation and we were moved to a better room the next day. Make note that many hotel upper floors are better maintained compared to the lower floors in China. Each city had an AYCE breakfast buffet that was beautifully presented and prepared. We were definitely well nourished and fed for trekking and sightseeing! In Beijing, we saw the Forbidden City, climbed the Great Wall, walked around the Hutong area and had great food. In X'ian, we saw the Terracotta Warriors and the excavation site and museum. Managed to find a good spot near our hotel that had crispy Roujaimo (Chinese hamburger). And we found thick winter coats for only $20 USD! What a steal! And with the snow unexpectedly falling while we were there, it was necessary! In Shanghai, we explored the city, saw Yu Garden area, saw the LV flagship store and a huge Starbucks, one of seven in the world, where you see the production of coffee beans being roasted. We visited a few shopping malls to purchase perfume and make-up as well. In this city, there's an unusual combination of beautiful modern skyscrapers along side Chinese and European architecture. In Chongqing, we entered ancient caves with rock carved buddhas, saw stone bridges made from nature, experienced city life where they built the city in levels going upward rather than miles across. Honestly, I'd get lost since GPS couldn't tell you what level you are on! So glad we had a tour guide and driver who knew the city well! It saved us time and energy since we did not have to navigate ourselves. And with a language barrier, it would have made it even more difficult. All our gratitude goes to Star Vacation for creating and planning the itinerary for us. It was a fast-paced trip only staying in each city for just 2-3 days each. Our trip was exactly 2 weeks and it ended in Hong Kong, where we explored it ourselves. It was an expensive trip, but it was experience of a lifetime and truly memorable. We wouldn't hesitate asking Elaine and Melody to plan another trip in the near future!

If you're looking for someone reliable and helpful to assist with your visa and travel plans, Melody is amazing! Thank you so much for making the process so smooth. I'm looking forward to my trip to China!

His travel agency went above and beyond when reserving our timeslot at the Square Enix ARTNIA cafe, even as far as the tour guide opening up her own account to book it. All the hotel accommodations were very comfortable and the breakfasts served there were delicious. Jack was able to help us fit our itinerary with all the sights we wanted to see. We will definitely be revisiting Japan again with his guidance.

My sister suggested I contact her travel agent who helped book a tour for her to China. The agent gave me some info over the phone, but said he would check further and call back. Well, I never received a call back. This year the same travel agent is the go between for a cruise to South America that my sister and a group of friends and family are sailing to. I decided to cancel and requested a refund. The agent requested an email since money was involved. I did as requested. Did I receive a reply? No. Too busy or indifferent? I went online and found my refund against my credit card, but I never heard back from the travel agent.

As other Yelpers point out, it's definitely a service at a discount, no frills, and you have to be *really* explicit with your request. Don't leave anything up to chance, as I don't think they even have insurance (I bought my own). FWIW I think the Wild West and Ancient Egypt would be a blast, and who knows, maybe check out some dinosaurs? Note: they do *not* offer visits to the future.

These guys are great for what amounts to a discount service, and though what you get is just as…read moregood as any of the big, expensive companies, it's worth noting that it's discounted for a reason--in this case, the bathroom on the time machine was a little bit foul. My girlfriend and I used Golden Time Travel when we wanted to take a vacation but couldn't get any time off. It's a great vacation option since you can be gone for literally months and return to the present only a moment after you left. Our first trip booked with Golden was pretty great. We wanted to get away to somewhere familiar so we went to San Francisco in 1905. It was real nice and the exchange rate was excellent, particularly because of inflation since then. The trolleys got us around real easily, and everyone was very friendly. We had a nice time staying at the Palace Hotel, and our bellhop, Edward, was wonderful. You can imagine our shock when, upon arriving home, we looked him up and found out he died the next year in the earthquake, along with the hotel which was destroyed in the ensuing fire. Very sad. I kind of wish we'd warned him now. The next year we saved up a bit and went to classical Greece. Golden Time Travel dropped us off and picked us up two weeks later without a hitch. My girlfriend has a lighter complexion, and though she got made fun of a bit for being a "barbarian"--several times we heard children chanting "bar-bar-bar" and making fun of our yet-uninvented tongue--the famous "Athenian hospitality" more than made up for it. Plus, those togas are surprisingly flattering. My only critique is that the cuisine left something to be desired. We forgot that this was pre-Columbian exchange, so no tomatoes, potatoes, chocolate, corn or avocados. Also, they hadn't quite figured out chemistry in that era, much less baking, so don't expect to be impressed with the pastries (no baklava yet). For our next trip we decided to check out the Bay Area in 2085. Now, I know this wasn't Golden Time Travel's fault, as they just provide the time machine, but this trip was an absolute disaster. Apparently Mark Zuckerberg is a robot fascist dictator in that year, and he forces loyalty through perpetual social surveillance. Well, it was really terrifying, and we spent most of the trip dodging the Google Civilian View drone copters that track down "nonconsumers" and install g-chips to catalog their brain. I know the contents of the future aren't the fault of Golden, but we would have appreciated some forewarning. They certainly have the technology.

"It ain't necessarily so The things that you're liable…read more To read in the Bible, It ain't necessarily so" (George Gershwin) "I can't get up out of bed With this crazy feeling in my head Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine" (Eric Clapton) A 1.2 rating over 800 reviews? Well, it ain't necessarily so in my personal experience, because Viator sure exceeded a 1.2 with their San Francisco Super Saver: Muir Woods & Wine Country Tour. Our pickup at the San Francisco Hilton was pretty much on schedule, and by the time we made our last pickup, we had a crew of 26. Our driver/tour guide Glenda led us to a one-hour visit to Muir Woods National Monument, a lunch stop at Sonoma Plaza, three tasting experiences at Napa & Sonoma wineries, and a Golden Gate Bridge scenic photo stop. The bus was comfortable, but we were disapointed to see the charging outlet did not work. It was a long day with quite a drive to the multiple destinations. IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES Timing of the various stops can be improved with more time at Muir Woods and letting the passengers know that having a US National Park Pass will save you from paying the admission fee you will otherwise have to. We could have used more time at Sonoma Plaza. Mayo Winery was the best, and we could have used more time there. We could have used less time at the Ru Vango and ESPECIALLY Jacuzzi Wineries. The GG Bridge stop was fine. We experienced none of the customer service issues so many Yelpers wrote about. It would have been nice for the tour to have arranged a group photo of us somewhere. PRO TIP We saw references to the tour as operated by Viator AND Extranomical Tours, and that was confusing. We found out that Viator is basically a clearinghouse that sells tours for multiple tour companies including Extranomical. Viator doesn't operate the tours, they just sell them.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with my recent experience booking an Orlando…read moretour through Viator. After initially resolving a booking error, I received a confirmation email explicitly stating that hotel pickup was included. However, shortly before my scheduled trip, I was informed by both a representative named Vanessa and a subsequent agent, Susan, that hotel pickup is not actually provided for my hotel. When I inquired about the discrepancy in my confirmation, I was told only a manager named Jason at the Greyline Tour Operator could address it. Naturally, he was not at work. My experience with Viator's customer service was profoundly frustrating. I spoke with at least ten different agents, each providing conflicting information and empty promises of discounts. When I requested to speak with a supervisor, an agent named Mohammed placed me on hold indefinitely and insisted on handling the issue himself despite my clear request to speak with management multiple times. He eventually promised that a manager named Hazem would call me within ten minutes, but I never received that call. Upon calling back, I was forced to repeat the entire verification process with yet another agent, Cres, who also refused to escalate my request. Why do they need to verify my issue when they have all the information?! It appears that Viator's management is entirely inaccessible to customers seeking to rectify the company's own mistakes. I cannot recommend this organization to anyone. Viator consistently misrepresents the services provided, fails to honor their own confirmations, and operates with a level of incompetence and disregard for customer service that is unacceptable. I strongly advise others to avoid this company and save their money by booking tours directly with reputable operators.

They have set us up two trips and they were both great! Well planned worth every penny. If you've…read morenever used a person to plan a vacation, it is worth it as I get so much more out of my trips now! The trips we went on were multiple stops in Europe (London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin). We got in so much and stayed in amazing places. When my partner originally suggested that we go on a trip to Europe, I was concerned that I would have to do tons, and tons are planning to get a lot out of it. We had so many amazing adventures! And I barely had to do anything. Highly suggest if you ever wanted to do a multi jump trip, do it! Our second trip was to Iceland with my parents as well so it was great having to only worry about my parents inability to pack well and my mom and her new hip (yeah, it was interesting timing. She recovered well but it was still new hip) and not about the travel or such. We had a private guide as well. (sidenote, since I never tried going to Iceland without a guide not personal experience but, one of my moms doctors mentioned that they went to Iceland, but it was kind of scary because they were on this one lane Road and they said really scary.... When they suggest a guide, take a guide. It just takes a lot of the worry out.) When things went sideways they were very responsive and helped get things fixed quick. Would use again. For the hotels and such we did confirm the prices and they were in line so no weird pricing issues for us. We heard of scams so just saying we did compare so we wanted to share our vetting.

Thailand has been on our "bucket list" and being invited to a Thai wedding provided the incentive to make Thailand our next international destination. From the moment we contacted Irene, we knew were would be in good hands (was there any doubt?)! After providing responses to Irene's questionnaire regarding our interests and desires about Thailand (along with several emails, text messages, and phone conversations), she provided an excellent itinerary that included flights, private tours, private drivers to and from airports, superb accommodations, and expert guides. During our 5 nights in Bangkok, Irene curated a centrally located hotel in Bangkok, an informal food tour in Chinatown, and an exceptionally knowledgeable local guide to introduce us to the some of the most historically important temples in Bangkok and Ayutthaya. During our first 4 nights in Chiang Mai, Irene curated a modern-styled hotel minutes away from the legendary Night Market (a must experience). We had the pleasure of touring Chiang Mai and the hills of Doi Inthanon National Park with an experienced and friendly local guide. There is no substitute to having a local guide to provide insights and knowledge about Thai culture, food, and history. Additionally, Irene had arranged a private cooking class where we prepared 7 Northern Thailand dishes, all delicious!! Our last 3 nights were spent at the Onsen at Moncham, a Japanese-themed retreat in the mountains before returning home. Although Irene provided many options for our destinations/events and hotels, our itinerary was completely customizable and ultimately, our choice. Whether you want to experience Thailand on the beaten or unbeaten path, but with comfort, reliability, and service, let Irene at Travel Darlings handle your needs!
