"When I signed up for the Wonders of Costa Rica at a slower pace. The hotel listed in the itinerary for day 8&9 was a 4 star hotel on the beach called the Punta Leona. I'm not sure when but Road Scholar changed the Punta Leona hotel for the 3 star Villa Lapis Jungle hotel. I was shocked when we drove up to this dump. Others in the group wanted to leave and find another hotel. I had black bugs under that shower mat and the shower did not drain, Spiders on the wall and roaches coming out of the cracked in the bathroom. The bed was a thin mattress on a board and was hard as a rock. The food they put out was covered with a wrap but 15 minutes after the plastic wrap was removed it was covered with fruit flies. I passed on the open food bowls. The walls were real thin and the neighbors were real noisy until 11:30 pm. Others in the group complained about the late night noise, spiders and toilet seat being broken. I'm not sure where this place gets 3 stars. After I saw the roaches, I give it a 1 star. Road Scholar put us up in beautiful hotels and then they take us here. You can do better than this Road Scholar. The end the story, Road Scholar customer service called me about my concern and said they have never used the Punta Leona, (I sent her my itinerary that said PUNTA LEONA). She also said they haven't had any complaints about this Villa Lapis dump. After her call, I'm not sure if I'll ever travel with Road Scholar again. Enough said...."

"It's taken a while to get around to writing this review. Last march 2024 I had the most amazing Antarctic expedition with Chimu. Everything was so professional, from the staff to the ship, food and equipment. Thank you Chimu for a trip of a lifetime."

"Our 8th OU tour was to Switzerland. We visited many sites in Switzerland, Austria and also a quick stop in Germany. O.U. takes all the stress away by using outstanding Tour Directors who handle everything. Our T. D. Kiara was fantastic! She worked flawlessly throughout the tour, even when we were stuck in Zermatt after a flood. I highly recommend O.U."

""There were so many wonderful moments it is hard to pick just a few. We loved the private, history filled tour of Buenos Aires in particular. Our guide was knowledgeable about past and current history as well as offering reflections on living in Buenos Aires. We enjoyed the Tango Dinner in Buenos Aires and the Argentine Dinner Party Experience. Ushuaia was a beautiful place to visit. We were on our own for dinner here but got excellent recommendations from our planner and another from our vehicle mates on the 4X4 Adventure Tierra del Fuego. We had three outstanding meals at 1/2 the price we would pay at home! Our driver/guide on the 4X4 trip was excellent and the whole day was filled with beautiful vistas, excellent company and food. We enjoyed the Beagle Channel Boat tour to visit the Magelanic Penguins. Calafate included a wonderful walk through the Laguna Nimez reserve (a bird photographer’s/watcher’s dream). Visiting the Perito Mareno Glacier was as awe inspiring as any other great wonder such as the Grand Canyon (many people sitting and watching it for extended periods). We thought our chances of hearing and seeing the glacier in action (calving) would be rare but in our couple of hours, it happened quite a few times. Next we spent a day at an El Calafate Ranch with horseback riding. The day was wonderful and, like many of the places we had been, the scenery was just awesome. We ended our tour with three nights and two days at a camp in Patagonia. Our two days of hiking were spectacular and included amazing vistas and views (think Ansel Adams). As an amateur photographer, it seemed only a dream that we might come across the top of the food chain (Puma) but, on our second day, we were lucky enough to we within photographic distance of one at a recent kill. The guides and entire staff at the camp were outstanding and super friendly. It was early spring and it was wonderful coming back to a lit fire in the wood stove of our Suite Dome (well worth the splurge).""
