"I enrolled early in the French Art Voyage because of the caliber of the sites visited: no visit to the overly crowded Louvre but rather to Monet’s Giverny and Cezanne’s studio. A preliminary itinerary I just received has no mention of Giverny so I went online to be sure it was still open. It is. I checked Cezanne’s studio and found it closed for renovation. I called Road Scholar to ask why Giverny was canceled and did they mean Cezanne perhaps. A customer service rep was clueless. I spelled Giverny to her twice. She put me on hold for 15 minutes, returned and said someone would contact me. I told her to wait a minute. I had more. Was Cezanne’s studio to be canceled as well.? Five days later I get an email from Judith telling me Giverny was not officially on the itinerary, Cezanne’s studio had to be removed due to renovation and I could not see the Mona Lisa!!! I responded saying I sensed some bait and switch also reminding her I NEVER asked about the Mona Lisa. She replied telling me how to arrange Giverny for myself and reiterating that I could not see the Mona Lisa!!!! I have experienced ageism but not gaslighting like this. I am not an old fool who imagined Giverny on the itinerary. I am not an old fool insisting on a Mona Lisa that was not. Road Scholar has no business marketing to elders with staff like this."

"No cumplieron con las actividades prometidas y BORRARON EL ANUNCIO en trip advisor con nuestras quejas para NO DEJAR HUELLA. Contratamos el tour de 3 noches , 4 dias, En la descripcion (que ya cambiaron ahora despues de que nos quejamos, adjunto la descripcion en aleman ya q el enlace ya no esta, no pude sacarla en espanol antes de la estafa) 1.No habia ningun guia local con Ingles, mi chico es Aleman asi que le traduje yo todo. Nos dejaron en las islas sin tener idea q actividades teniamos contratadas, pregunte varias veces y no tenian ni idea. Incluso nos dijeron q nos quedabamos 2 noches en una isla y a las 8 de la manana nos dijeron q que haciamos alli y q nos mandarian a otra isla, q preparemos todo en 5 minutos) 2. No habia ninguna danza tradicional. de hecho en las islas habia alguna q otra pareja de turistas y el encargado , que si era Guna.Asi que de aprender cultura Guna, interactuar, nada. 3.No hubo Senderismo en ninguna jungla, aunque pregunte varias veces cuando nos iban a llevar a hacer esa actividad. 4.No hubo langosta incluida para la ultima noche. Respuesta al mensaje : lo que hemos solicitado a Trip Advisor es un reembolso de 30% , no un reembolso total, pero no hay respuesta. Hemos llamado a su agencia pero salta el contestador .Si es mejor para ustedes escribanos por aqui.muchas gracias .un saludo Actualizacion: Trip advisor dice que su empresa le ha dicho q han proporcionado todos los servicios por lo q ni veian la posibilidad de reembolso parcial . A partir de aqui lo dejamos en manos de ABOGADOS"

"I was very excited to support a Canadian company, but unfortunately, this trip was anything but blissful. The tour guide was unprofessional, incompetent, and inappropriate. He was reported in the middle of the trip because of how vulgar he was being with the girls on the tour. Guided tours are supposed to be a haven for young, solo travelers and, unfortunately, this tour was the nightmarish opposite. If you plan on booking a trip with this company, please dig into who your guide will be, how many trips they have done, and what kind of reviews they have had. Additionally, the accommodations, activities, and transportation included in this trip cost a sliver of what I paid. I completely understand the additional cost of paying the full-time guides, and the price of convenience that comes from a trip being planned for you, but unfortunately, I did not get my money’s worth with LBW. Following my friends and my dissatisfaction with the tour and the inappropriate guide, LBW’s customer support team was unfortunately slow to respond, disorganized, and inconsistent with their suggested solutions. Please, save your money, and book with another company."
