What travelers are saying

"Great trip covering highlights of Kerala. Fabulous tour leader and support team. The rides started easy and flat, and became progressively harder with increasingly longer hills as we headed into the mountains. The slow pace suited my ability. The spinning classes I did as preparation definitely paid off. The heat and humidity were challenging! Road conditions were better than expected. The bikes could have been in better condition- the mechanic was great in sorting out issues on the way. Most of the participants missed their various connecting flights arranged by Explore, including us! Arriving at 5am and having to be prepared to cycle at 8.30am wasn’t fun! Explore really need to consider this as I think it’s a regular occurrence!"

What travelers are saying

"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."

"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."

What travelers are saying

""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.""
