Tammy was great setting up our trip! She was very friendly and helpful! Can't wait to go!
Sophia was friendly, knowledgable, courteous, and prompt.
Cindy Flores was through, she explained all our options for our vacation's plans for the the Ultimate Greece & Italy tour. She is very helpful when ever we call with questions and in making our trip planning easy.
Tammy was awesome, very nice and had all the answers to my question. Very informative and easy to understand
Tammy was a very good booking agent and she was very quick and efficient in booking our Alaska tour and cruise.
Tammy kept in close contact with us and guided us through the process. It's a lot of money for us but we are so excited and so appreciative of her expertise and knowledge. She's a gem!!
I have been on several YMT trips. Trips r well planned. Several years ago on a National Park trip luggage stolen out of hotel when sitting out of room for collection for bus. Bus driver took me to Walmart to get new clothes & luggage. Next day trip continued.
Service was fantastic. Tour was full but they were able to add me so I could travel with friends. They were in constant contact to make this happen. I very much appreciate their work to include me.
Representative stayed on the line, after hours for her to take my deposit at the rated that was reduced for that day only.
All in all, the driver and tour guide did a great job. I give them 5 stars, the 4 stars is from lack of planning on the part of the home office. The home office should have allowed more time for driving through Boston in rush hour. It was a disappointment getting to Plimoth Patuxet Village just as everything was closing and then had to sit for an hour waiting for our dinner to be served. Also should have done a little more research into road construction. The driver did a great job considering the obstacles he had to face trying to get to hotels were the roads were closed and he had to find his way through residential areas with narrow roads not meant for buses. The step-on guide in Montreal left a lot to be desired. She often talked as she walked away from us and no one could hear anything she said. When she did talk to us before going into Notre-Dame Basilica she was not well versed in the Catholic religion and got several facts wrong but in trying to give us an explanation for the inside of the church, we were almost late for the sound and light show. The lights were turned off before we were able to find seating. Our other step-on guides were wonderful and very knowledgeable. Even though we could not go to the places we were supposed to see in Quebec due to road closures and the Tour de France bike races, we did go to some very interesting alternatives. Give those two guides A++. The Norwegian cruise portion had a few problems. We were told to follow the guide for our first tour, but we never saw a guide and ended up on the wrong bus strictly by accident the correct bus having left without us. The fact that we lost a couple of hours due to problems going through immigration could not be helped, but the cruise director made no effort to inform passengers with land tours scheduled of what their statis was. Many passengers missed their tours which could have been avoided to some extent if she would have told those passengers to go first, which she did not. As a side note - I thought the coffee was terrible - very strong and bitter - but that is no reflection on YMT. We met some wonderful people and delighted to hear we were one of the only couples traveling with YMT for the first time. Several of the couples had been with them 4,5 and more times.
Bea was pleasant, and very helpful with the reservation process. She was also very patient.
We booked the trip we wanted at a good price. The lady who helped me was very helpful
Bea was very easy to work with and made the reservation uncomplicated.
The staff person who I worked with to book our cruise was very helpful and polite. She answered all my questions thoroughly. I had to call her several times as I had more ?'s and she was friendly every time.
Bea is the best! She is so efficient and helpful! We booked the Grand Alaska tour with her for our first YMT experience. It was great! We were so impressed with your company that we booked two more tours with Bea. She answers my emails instantly with all the requested information and more!
Easy, friendly professional staff
Very knowledgeable booking agent. The tours have always been great. K
So far good. Trip is in 5 months!
