""Our journey with Firebird Tours to Japan was a remarkable experience that unfolded over 11 days. Initially unfamiliar with the company, we were fortunate to work with Alessandra Scola, who patiently guided us through the booking process. Looking back, choosing Firebird was undoubtedly the best decision we could have made. The tour's logistics were impeccably managed. At every stage of our trip, seamless transportation was provided - whether picking us up from airports, train stations, or transferring us to our hotels. Each day featured a dedicated personal guide who expertly navigated us through different locations and cities. Their digital infrastructure was equally impressive. The tour app was user-friendly and intuitive, making navigation and information access a breeze. More importantly, their customer support was exceptional and consistently attentive. Several instances highlighted their outstanding service: When our flight was delayed, they proactively sent a text message confirming they would still be waiting for us. During a minor navigation mix-up at a train station, they promptly reached out via text to ensure our well-being and help us reconnect with our driver. After we had to cancel a bicycle tour due to a previous day's accident, they followed up compassionately, even offering additional support and expressing concern about our situation. From start to finish, our trip was flawless. Firebird Tours demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to customer service that truly elevated our travel experience. They didn't just meet expectations - they exceeded them in every possible way.""

"We used CIE for an amazing tour of Ireland. The food and the locals were amazing. Here is my issue: we were told that another CIE tour from Scotland would be joining us in Dublin. The majority of those travelers had some type of respiratory virus and joined our tour. Tour director knew they were sick as she pointed out pharmacies at every tour stop. Every scheduled breakfast, lunch or dinner was restricted to certain tables since we had limited reserved seating and that virus spread like wildfire among the original Dublin travelers. My understanding is that CIE has a policy that “sick” passengers are not permitted on the tour. My wife got the “sickness” and I got COVID. Ruined such an amazing place. I placed a customer service ticket with CIE on 21 May 2014 and have heard nothing back. I will probably see Bigfoot before a response."

"We booked a National Geographic expedition Holland and Belgium by River. The promotional literature promised a 14-day deposit refund window. The “invoice” was marked “non-refundable” deposit. We completed the National Geographic Traveler Information. About 8 days later we received the “Travel Agreement” to be signed. We both approved and signed the National Geographic documents. A Cruise Line Travel agreement was enclosed but had no signature line. This document contained language which was unacceptable. We submitted the signed NatGeo documents. The following day we canceled the trip due to the unacceptable Cruise Line language. Cancellation was made 12 days after booking and no deposit was returned. We were told on the phone that the refund deadline was triggered by the 14 day window OR signatures on the Travel Agreement which ever came first. This was NEW information. To date, we have received NO refund of our $1000. We cancelled our trip within the advertised 14 day window."

"I have had a couple great travel experiences through GeoEx. My first trip, she helped book my travels to Ireland for my brothers wedding. She did a great job coordinating hotels with other family members and planning my entire trip including events, dinners, transportation, etc."

"Traveling with Silversea on our Alaska cruise was just perfect. The sites, service, and overall feel were great. I will say, the food was somewhat lacking in my opinion, but the overall experience was spectacular."
