They screwed up our vacation in South America with shoddy follow-up practices with the airlines and have refused to issue full refund. I will probably have to take them to court to get my money back. — —...

It is like tyou throw in a crazy person, gave him pots and pans, and asked him to cook for travelers. Their selection is poor and the taste is horrible. The food is not new, selection is few, and they do not have seafood, mostly chicken and pork cooked in a bad way. I do not recommend this place, if I am to recommen, Asia or China Buffet is Las Vegas would be really...

Myers, FL, the tour exceeded our expectations. One could never do everything on the tour, see everything, have such good food (and virtually unlimited wine!) for anywhere near the price...great value! Sicily was amazing...the further south you get in Italy, the more hospitable it is. Loved the little town of Amalfi on the Amalfi Coast; Taormina and palermo Sicily were fantastic. Tour manager was informative and attentive...arrnaged everything and really held our hands! Go...

Warm sun, warm seas and blue skies. AAA did a fine job helping us select the tour package that was right for us and Apple Vacations delivered the goods. We picked the "all inclusive" package at the Riu Jalisco Hotel/Resort on the shores of the Pacific ocean. Time of year late January early February. — All inclusive includes Air fare, transfers, hotel and all meals and beverages at the hotel. The hotel provides entertainment and a host of on-site activities at no charge as part of the package. The room was very nice, very well lit, and very clean. The TV had many English speaking channels. Daily room maintenance was excellent. Even though we didn't use it except for bottled water, the room mini bar was very well stocked and included in the price. — Meal and beverage selection, variety and time of availability were also excellent. Beverages included beer, wine and mixed drinks. Most...

They scammed me: I paid them for some plane tickets which I never received, and they have belligerently refused to give me a refund. Early last summer, I solicited several travel agencies for inexpensive tickets to Brazil. BrazilianTravel.com was the cheapest so I bought from them. They proceeded to stall delivery of the tickets for over two months, up until a week before the date of the presumed departure, blaming the delay on the airline. I did not receive so much as a confirmation number for the flights. By this point, not having received the tickets, I demanded that they refund the money. They promptly indicated that they would and then proceeded to just as quickly do nothing. Repeated phone calls and e-mails have either been ignored or met with denial of their wrongdoing, blaming the bank, and, in general, unapologetic...

This was the best experience we've had with a travel agency. Collette was very effecient, took care of problems promtly, provided us with a knowledgable and friendly guide, and booked the most interesting and comfortable hotels. The cost was more than we would normally spend on a vacation, but traveling 21 days in two countries, flying 5 times, with many meals provided, we calculated that we should owe them money.   If you have the time and want to have the best 21 days of your life, travel with Collette to Australia and New Zealand. It's worth...

All we had to do was go in to KIS Golf and Country Club and have an hour long tour. Then we would receive our vacation information. — We went, survived the hour tour (was not that bad) and then the pressure sales began. The owner of the company was there. He offered us the deal for $5000 ($3000 off the lowest priced plan they offer). BUT - the plan included golf clubs for life. My husband asked several times to try the golf clubs, to use one, to hit one. Each time they put him off. They wanted us to fill out the credit information and commit before he could even hold a golf club in his hand. — My husband did in fact win a hole in one and we were told we had won a free cruise as well. — Long story short, by the time we left, we had not bought a package and we were not given our free gifts. I have contacted Paul, the manager, who promised to mail them after the Better Business Bureau became involved. And as...

It is a very exciting place to visit, nice people good food, beautiful sights. — I want to come back the next year I can be a tour guide this time, keep in touch so we can go together the next year. —...

We have traveled with them 10 times in the past 8 years. They have good guides in all the foreign  countries, they all speak english. They follow the itinery to the tea. We have enjoyed each trip we have taken with them and I just speak to them over the phone and everything is done for you, except paying the money! you can look your trip up on the computer, you have an account on the computer.

To be on the safe side we included the funjet insurance, with was really nice, because if we had to cancel, they would have been able to give as a full refund, even if we would wait till the last minute to cancel. Also with this waiver, they guaranteed us the lowest price. meaning, if our package would have gone on sale, after we already paid for it, they would have rebooked it at the lower rate and refunded us the rest of the money. How cool is that? So we made sure we had that waiver. The vacation was to Mexico. The check in at the airport was nice and hassle free. The plane was nice and clean and the stewardess was friendly and very helpful. It just seemed like the time "flew" by in no time and we arrived in viva la Mexico. They made some changes to the Cancun airport, it is bigger and nicer now. After we claimed our luggage we went to the exit of the airport and a funjet...

Then, we drove down to Ortesi, Italy to start the Edelweiss motorcycle tour.  It was 5 full days of riding the Dolomite Alps.  It is an area that belonged to Germany, Austria and Italy in the past, so the flavor of the other cultures comes through everywhere.  In fact, each town in that area has 3 names (in each language) to reflect the different cultures.  The foods were extraordinary and the views from every angle were awesome. I took over 3000 pictures on that trip and still love to view them all to bring back the memories.  Our last week of the trip was in Austria, seeing Innsbruck & Salzburg. There is alot of history over there. Then, we flew back out of Munich.  We wish we had spent more time there (like months!), because we will never be able to afford to go again.  We...
