    I recently ( Aug. 11 to Aug. 18) took a trip to Mackinaw Island. It was an amazing experience. I would add one more day at Mackinaw, and another day in Niagara Falls to visit Niagara on the Lake because everything was so fast. I would suggest to add in the packing list a bathing suit because only one person and I took it. All the hotels have a covered pool and a hot tub. I am also writing this mail to congratulate Loretta our tour director.She did a great job! She deserves to be praised. I enjoyed the tour and hopefully I will consider doing another one in the future with your company.

    We had a great time and covered a lot of ground. Tour Director Marina was outstanding; I can't imagine how anyone could do it better. There is a lot of time on the bus but the stops made it worthwhile. Mackinac Island is worth seeing but it's not easy to get to and adding the stops at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the 3 stops in 'Ford country' were great choices to break up the ride. Magnificent stop at Niagara Falls on the Canada side was a great way to end the trip.

    We had a great trip to Mackinac Island . The hotel on the island was perfect ! We have to express our appreciation to our tour guide Julie and our bus driver Marcus. Julie was exceptional as she was always organized and above all kind and helpful. The trip was a lot of fun and interesting!!

    We had a wonderful time. The accommodations were good to great. The included meals were very good. The bus was very comfortable but the drive was long. The tour guide, Julie, was very good about making frequent comfort stops on long drives and answering all questions. The destinations we visited offered a lot of history and natural beauty. The biggest problem I had was during the rest stops the specified departure times were routinely ignored by some fellow travelers and nothing was said or done to prevent reoccurrences of this nature.

    We had a great time the only thing I did not like was how many hours we had to ride on the bus. Should have planned one more day to break up the distance between Niagara Falls and Connecticut. Loretta is an excellent travel guide always there to help with any needs, very caring and kind individual the best guide ever. Bev & Steve Toth

    This was one of the most fun trips my best friend and I have taken, and all credit goes to Loretta, our tour director. She was kind and efficient, and you can tell she really cares about her job and the people she shepherds around the world! She is so accommodating and empathic. I do wish we hadn't had to wake up so early every morning but I understand that's a risk you take when signing up for a multi-destination trip. I also enjoyed every location we visited.

    Overall trip was excellent! Some long rides, but plenty of stops. The featured sites were interesting and informative, and Macinac Island was beautiful! Janet was a lot of fun and did a good job of planning ahead and keeping us organized We appreciated our driver, Rod; he had a great sense of humor, kept the bus immaculate, and made sure we were always safe and on time to every destination. Meals and accommodations were all excellent except for one night's lodging at the Country Inn and Suites by Radisson, where standards were far below what you would expect for cleanliness and amenities.

    Thanks Connie. The trip is a busy one and we are sorry to hear about the Radisson. It is hotel we would not be using in the future. We hope to see you on future trips!
