What travelers are saying

"I have travelled with ROW numerous times, including four trips on the Rogue River. Every trip has been wonderful and every person associated with ROW has been nice, knowledgeable, professional and fun. The Rogue is a great river and the trip is an excellent one for two people or a large group—and I have done both. I’ve taken both of my kids, one time each, and have organized groups of colleagues twice; most recently in 2019 when 14 of us gathered. The guides at ROW are great and help to make the trip very enjoyable. The scenery, lodging and the wonderful outdoors including warm air and refreshing water, make for a wonderful escape from the everyday routine. The fact that this trip offers beds and indoor plumbing is a nice benefit and allows those who have an aversion to camping a chance to see the wilderness. I have recommended ROW and the Rogue trip more times than I can count and my group has already reserved our trip for 2021. What are you waiting for?"

"Went on the March 24 2024 Mexican Riviera Cruise. Everything was well set up and managed. Even had extras like wifi and meal upgrades. The highlight was in port seeing two smaller HAL ships. Looking forward to my next cruise through Uncommon Journeys."

What travelers are saying

"The agents are not helpful and just rush to make the reservations so they get the commission. I was never told that I could make my own hotel reservations for half the price. When I called the reservations to see how much the cost of the hotel they reserved was, I was told they did not know. I called again and was transferred to another agent who told me the price. I wanted to make the change, but they would not give me credit. They would only give me a voucher for future use. I don't want a voucher because I do not want to travel by Amtrak anymnnore."

What travelers are saying

"Traveling all the way from Sweden we were looking for a way to hike out in the wilderness with a group and we found this great trip. It takes you out in the amazing nature of Canada away from the bus tourists. Jennie and Chris, our guides, really did an excellent job and were both very knowledgable and fun. Overall it was a great experience and I can highly recommend it. Why did you choose this trip? I wanted to hike in the wilderness. What would your advice be to potential travelers? Enjoy! What was the highlight of your trip? To hike out in the amazing nature. # About Me Avid Adventurer ✔ Yes, I recommend this trip."
