Fantastic experience: England, Scotland, Wales: Highly recommend this trip. Very well organized and tour director was the best ever. She took care of every possible detail. Loved the hotels. This trip is a good overview of England, Scotland and Wales. Everyone was very friendly; food was great and we had the chance to dine on our own sometime. Would love to get flight info sooner than later so that we could plan our transportation to/from airport with a car service. No last minute surprises please.

Negative experience: I participated in a recent trip that took patrons to the Canadian cities of Ottawa, Montreal and finally Quebec City. In Ottawa, the itinerary included a guided tour of the city. However, the local "guide" arranged by the tour company, failed to show! Hence our tour guide had to make other arrangements on the fly (the tour guide was not an employee of the tour company). She did a terrific last minute switch by getting us into the Canadian War Museum - an excellent facility. In Quebec City, the tour company was forced to hire a local bus operator to get us around the city. Turns out that the original driver had "timed out" because of Canadian regulations. The original driver had operated a bus for fourteen days straight prior to beginning our tour. One would think that a tour company would have a full understanding of regulations that apply outside the United States.

We appreciate your feedback Jim. The local guide failed to show and we paid for an alternative visit to the museum. We made it happen (and paid for) you getting into that museum. The representative from NEAM chose not to take a Tour Director from our office to help facilitate the trip. As for the coach, we do not own the coach company or operate the vehicles. In fact, when we discovered what happened, we contacted the coach company and found they had contacted the wrong driver. Further, the coach company spoke directly to the NEAM representative about the situation and ergo, you were given false information about what actually occurred. We can appreciate your frustration, but that lies with DATTCO. Feel free to review DATTCO on their Google profile.

You booked the wrong pick-up location and we advised you as such. You then went on to berate our staff member for a mistake you made. We tried to contact you 3x times and it went to voicemail on the day of departure. You delayed the whole trip for everyone else. The tickets are non-refundable.

Fantastic experience: My husbandand I just got back from the Nova Scotia tour. We had never been on a bus tour so really had no expectations. We were very pleased. Kim our trip leader was very efficient and friendly. Bob our bus driver was an excellent driver with a great sense of humor and a perfect personality for dealing with all ages. Brian our Halifax local guide was a wealth of knowledge. Even our trolley driver Josh in Acadia was great. Only downside was traffic on interstates which can't be helped. We were just glad we were not driving and instead enjoying this extremely comfortable motor coach . We hope to book another trip in the future with Tours of Distinction.

Fantastic experience: Just returned from the Nova Scotia/Bar Harbor trip. Our tour director Kim was everything you’d want in a tour director, professional, fun, on top of every detail and flexible to fit needs of group. Our driver Bob was a great driver, patient and helpful but also fun. Bus was extremely comfortable! Brian our local guide did a great job around Halifax, he is extremely knowledgeable and kept us interested in the history. My sister and I enjoyed our trip and will be planning another I’m sure. Kudos to all!

Fantastic experience: We just got back from our third trip with Tours of Distinction. They are wonderful to work with, and when there's glitch in the plan (like flight delays, coach buses cancelling last minute, the things beyond their control), they are quick to work out a backup plan and get us right back on track. All in all, a great trip!

Fantastic experience: I have been on two Tours of Distinction trips. Niagara Falls and Tournament of Roses Parade. Both trips were great! Our Tour Director, Kim, was on top of everything and a lot of fun. There are a few things we think could be changed like the New Year’s Dinner on the San Diego visit on the Tournament of Roses trip. It was a new trip so just some feedback. The groups of travelers on both tours were all good people and interesting to talk to. We would not hesitate to use ToD for our next trip.

Negative experience: TOURNAMENT OF ROSES PARADE DECEMBER 29, 2023 - JANUARY 3, 2024 I have wanted to attend The Rose Bowl Parade since I was a kid. Happened to spot the L.A./Pasadena trip offered by this tour operator back in September of 2023. Sounded like it would be a great experience at a reasonable price. Spoke to my good friend and neighbor to see if she was interested in going with me. I was very happy to hear that she wanted to go. We went ahead and booked the trip. According to the Tours of Distinction website, we would be staying at a very highly rated Hilton hotel adjacent to the ocean in Santa Monica. This turned out to be the first of their many untruths. We did not receive our itinerary until approximately one week prior to departure. Lo and behold, we are now going to be staying at the DoubleTree Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. Better yet, it is conveniently located only one block from the most highly populated Skid Row in the United States. After checking several online travel sites, it became apparent the downtown hotel can be reserved for approximately half the cost of the hotel we were led to believe we were staying at. When I called to object to their bait and switch tactics, I was informed by an extremely unpleasant woman that they never promised that we would be staying in Santa Monica and downtown was more conveniently located. Another complete lie. Basically the attitude seemed to be that they had our money and tough luck cause you ain't getting a refund. Obviously, it's a sinking feeling to realize you are being deceived before even going on the trip. They were even so brazen as to continue showcasing the Santa Monica hotel on their website up until the day we departed for California. Some of the many lowlights of the trip would be the "festive New Year's Eve Dinner Party filled with games, music, party favors and champagne." This of course did not happen. We were served a "steak" dinner at the DoubleTree that was the most tasteless and toughest piece of meat I have ever tried to cut into. The side trip to San Diego turned out to be a complete waste of a full day. We never made it to The Gaslamp District, which was supposed to be a featured attraction of going to SD. Instead, we did a poorly planned stroll through the Little Italy section. We went to the Old Town area but no thought was given to having lunch at one of the many authentic restaurants there. We wound up having to dine at a less than stellar sandwich joint near the harbor. On New Year's Day, we were to dine at a well known prime rib restaurant in Beverly Hills for lunch. This did not happen. Instead, we had hamburgers at Mel's Drive In on Hollywood Boulevard. Never saw Beverly Hills. None of the motor coaches had a restroom. One of the motor coaches had a suspension/shock absorbers so inadequate as to almost loosen the fillings in your teeth. Our tour director seemed pleasant enough, but nothing of interest was ever pointed out as I don't believe she had any knowledge of Southern California. I could go on and on, but that's not likely to accomplish anything other than bringing my anger to the surface again. Basically, everything they do is done on the cheap. Suffice to say that I would never recommend this tour company to anyone. As for highlights, The Tournament of Roses Parade experience was fabulous. The Nixon Library side trip to Yorba Linda was also worthwhile. The Mission at San Juan Capistrano was informative. There was a total of 18 people on this tour and I truly enjoyed their company. Incompetent, chintzy, unscrupulous, unprofessional and unethical would be appropriate and accurate descriptions for the people who operate Tours of Distinction.

We are certainly glad to hear that you enjoyed the Rose Parade. It was the centerpiece of this trip and we based our arrangements around this bucket list event.

Regarding the disappointment you have expressed, the hotel displayed on the website was a DoubleTree in Santa Monica. It was clearly labeled as being subject to change to a similar property. In this case, when we began working with our local bus provider and the Rose Parade organization on logistics, we learned that staying in Santa Monica was not a possibility due to the early morning street closures in Pasadena. We chose another DoubleTree property in the Little Tokyo neighborhood of Los Angeles. There was no "bait and switch" - this is standard within the travel industry and none of your fellow travelers complained about the hotel. As we explained prior to your departure, the hotel was not the primary focus of this tour and the proximity to Pasadena allowed us to get our bus in and out of the venue ahead of all other traffic. The bus itself was a 25 passenger minibus which is standard for small groups. While a bus of this size does not come equipped with a restroom, your tour director was sure to provide frequent comfort stops and direct you to facilities along the way.

This was a new tour for us and our tour director returned with some feedback on improving it for the future. For example, a festive New Year's Eve party would not have been practical due to the early departure of the tour bus on New Year's Day, so we will not include that in the future. That said, we provided a substantial sit-down meal dinner at our hotel so people could get to bed early for the parade and that will be our plan in the future.

Finally, our Tour Directors are sent along to manage tour logistics and resolve any issues that may arise. We hire specialized guides for their local expertise, as was the case at the Nixon Library, San Diego and Mission San Juan Capistrano. Again, this is standard for the industry and some of the best travel experiences we have come from meeting the locals. We wish you luck in your future travels.

Fantastic experience: Recently went to NYC for the Christmas Spectacular show at the Radio City Music Hall. The experience was wonderful. Our tour guide Julie was super friendly and informative. She put everyone at ease and answered all questions. She made recommendations on what to see and where to eat. Everything was on time as she said it would be. The bus driver, Walter, I believe was his name. He drove very smooth and cautiously. He also was very friendly. The group of people was a good mix of seniors, younger parents with children, and middle aged couples. Everyone was super friendly. Thankyou for a great day!

Fantastic experience: The trip to the Canadian Rockies as exactly what we expected. This was our 7th trip with Tours of Distinction. We were there when the wildifres happened and they handled the situation well. You know how great a business is when they handle tough situations. Despite that, the trip was really well organized. Marina our tour director was top-notch. From the hotels to the meals to the transportation. We could not have asked for more. Highly recommend them!

Negative experience: This pertains to the tour Autumn Railway in the Berkshires. It all started when the company did not return any of our calls - the first red flag. We then communicated by email and had success with this. However we sent a check to the company for payment of the trip, and we never received information confirming the booking. We called several times and spoke to Kim a couple of times and to Elizabeth a few times. They kept telling us they would get back to us. Elizabeth told us they never received our check. That was a lie as we sent it certified mail with return receipt. When I told her this, our check magically appeared in their office. This was another red flag that told us how screwed up they were. It really worried us. This was 3 days before the trip. We were so looking forward to the trip, we decided to move forward. That was a big mistake! The day of the trip - the company changed the location of the pick up/drop off place a couple of days before departure. Then on the bus we were told that the bus would not be stopping at a rest stop (to use the bathroom or to get coffee/something to eat). We were also told we had 5 minutes until we arrived at our first destination and to use the bus bathroom. There was a mad dash to the toilet and all of us including myself didn't get to use it. This was terrible, especially for the people who had canes or walkers who could not make use of the bus bathroom. I surmise what made us late was that the company added another pick up/drop off stop in Enfield that was not on the original schedule - very poor planning and disorganization! It caused so much stress in us. We were late for the train ride, our first destination, so we didn't get to use the bathroom there either. Next, the restaurant that was on our original schedule, Freight Yard Restaurant, was changed. It was changed to a place called Lakeside Bar and Grill. I wonder what the difference in price was between the two restaurants. We had already paid out $138.00. I wonder if the company will reimburse us for the difference. The winery was changed also and the company picked one that didn't have a public restroom, but instead one of those outhouses. The one on the schedule was the Hilton Orchards. The one they changed it to was Mineral Hills Winery at Godard's. Again I wonder if Tours of Distinction will reimburse us for the difference. Based on what we know, we doubt it. We will just chalk it up to a bad experience and put it behind us!

Tours of Distinction

You contacted us on October 23 at noon for 10-12 day customized private tour to Italy as you did not want to do a group tour we already have scheduled. Today is the 26 October. We are not a travel agency; we are a tour operator. We were looking into this for you and our vendors are also in a different time zone (6 hours ahead). It takes longer than 3 days to put together a package of this magnitude. Reviews such as this are ridiculous, unwarranted and not right. No services have been used and there was no timeframe you were given. We have closed your file. Safe travels.

Positive experience: We were surprised that there was no tour director on our Krucker's trip. The driver actually asked us if one was on board, since he did not know the address of the Watrbury pick-up location.

Thank you for your feedback Steven! The driver was aware there was no Tour Director for this trip. It was a small group and Krucker's handles all the details upon arrival at their Oktoberfest. We have heard from some other travelers and understand everyone had a great day out.

Negative experience: Bus Trip Vermont Fit for a King presented to Friends of Ashland & & Callahan COAS on October 17th was a total disappointment. King Arthur Four Company we were supposed to be greeted and taken on a tour. That never happened. If we wanted to see them work we stood and watched from afar. I asked and was told no demonstrations today and store was closing at 2:30 pm. Then we went to Calcuttas for lunch instead of Alta Tuscan Grille which was listed on the brochure. And if it was a buffet, why ask us what we preferred for lunch? Nothing listed on the Brochure was available. Next we went to Simon Pearce Company and it was closing 10 minutes after we got there. The final stop was VT Country Store. We asked the bus driver, Tim, about it and he said it wasn't on his schedule just this Vermont made store with accompanying ice cream store and then we traveled back to Framingham & Ashland. I believe we were taken for $125.00 and a lot of the passengers booked this trip thinking they were going to the Vermont Country Store. Shame on you for taking advantage of a bus load of Seniors. Barbara Wright, Ashland Senior Center Mass.

Barbara, there are many things that re incorrect here. Your 'tour director' on this trip is not employed by Tours of Distinction. They are a volunteer with Ashland and Framingham COA. Donna set this trip up. It appears you were also shared the wrong flyer by Donna about the trip. As she kept reading the trip from our website, which is not the trip she setup. We provided thorough bus instructions to Donna the Saturday before the trip. It further appears they were not followed at all. In fact, Donna has said that everyone had to keep using washrooms as each stop and is why you fell behind in time. Tours of Distinction did nothing wrong. If you would like to provide feedback, we recommend you do so with Donna. We are sorry your day did not turn out the way it should have. That is why we recommend groups use one of our professional full-time Tour Directors - so things like this do not occur.

Positive experience: Great itinerary but staff was disorganized and provided insufficient, incorrct information ahead of tour. No tour director because of Covid, so bus driver was overburdened with tasks in addition to driving the bus. She was great, but she had too many responsibilities. Oh, and the bus leaked when it rained!

Negative experience: I posted my review on WeTravel but feel that most people look on this site when wanting information while planning a trip. I did receive a response from my review. You don’t know how much I wish I could leave a great review but I just can’t. The two stars are for the incredible places we visited…Mackinac Island, Dearborn, Cleveland, and Niagara Falls were beautiful!! The lack of other stars is due to the poor quality of the organization and communication of the tour. Our poor tour director was very sweet but oh my goodness was she unorganized!! Every stop had some sort of hiccup along the way. Things like “ we are going to be riding on the bus for three hours and will take a rest stop in an hour and a half” and of course we never stopped. And when we did stop it was at a travel center with many other busses and we were given 45 minutes to eat and use the overcrowded restrooms. You have to understand that the Dattco bus driver (Domingo) had already lectured us against using the restroom on the bus except under the direst of circumstances. Even the cancer patient who purposely chose a seat at the back of the bus by the restroom wouldn’t use it…no one did!! He also lectured us about leaving trash on the bus and even went so far as to say we would have to rotate seats (everyone sat in the same seats each day) so people would pick up their trash. Janet did override that because people were very upset. He also decided on the first night in the restaurant to give Janet some “constructive criticism” of how she handled the first day. We were seated a table away with his back to us and he was so loud we could hear every word he said…we were so embarrassed for her!! He criticized things she said, what she told us, and how she said things…so uncalled for. We also felt that the scheduling of cutting short a visit to an attraction to get to the hotel to wait for three hours until it as time for dinner was ridiculous. Like the Ford Museum and the Greenfield Village. We had to leave at 4 when they didn’t close until 5 so we could go to the hotel to leave around 6:00 for dinner. Our husbands didn’t finish the museum. On the topic of communication I will briefly say there was very little. From booking and not hearing anything else for information about payments or details; to the lack that every other tour group had lanyards with name tags for their group members. We were told that we would hear from y’all two weeks before the departure date. Our information showed up three days before we left and the other couple got theirs the day we drove to Houston. We were also told not to schedule a flight from Buffalo before 4:00. So we had to book a hotel in Buffalo and fly home on Friday…an added expense when we hurried thru Niagara Falls and lunch so others could fly out at two. Needless to say, we won’t be booking again with Tours of Distinction which is sad because there are other tours that also go to some phenomenal places…we will just need to choose another tour group.

We responded to your review on wetravel Emily. That said, as you reviewed the trip here as well (over 2 weeks later), we now feel compelled to directly address many of your misrepresentations. There were no hiccups on this trip and we have received extremely positive feedback from many on it. We do not understand what is to be a private conversation between the driver and tour director has anything to do with a review. The final day of the trip was not rushed at all. That is how the final day of the trip is planned. You were advised of this when booking and a decision to spend the extra night in Buffalo is yours alone. Finally, no times were cut short at any attractions. You clearly mentioned to the Tour Director that your husband wanted more time at the museum. This is a group tour and there is a schedule to adhere to. You were more than welcome to stay longer at the museum and make your own way to the hotel and dinner (4pm - 6pm is only two hours and you were only at the said hotel for just over an hour so travelers would have some time to freshen up). This would have incurred a cost to you, which is something you did not want to do. There are no name tags on our tours as we are trying to move to a more sustainable approach and reduce our use of plastic. This is no fault of Tours of Distinction.

Polly Christopher 2 years ago

Positive experience: We had a very enjoyable trip in spite of some of the disappointing aspects of it. First being told as soon as you get on the bus to please not use the bathroom on the bus was the first red flag. Then after that announcement of being told we would have a comfort stop in 1 1/2 hrs. then not stopping was another red flag. Our bus driver seemed to want to be the tour director rather than the driver and we heard him criticizing the tour director at dinner. When we went to the Ford Rouge factory we expected to see the assembly of an F150 truck as that is what's described in the itinerary. Because it was Saturday that portion of the factory wasn't operating. I chalked that up to the strike but have since learned that it doesn't operate on Saturdays since Aug.1. That could have given us more time to visit the museum and Greenfield village with a little pre planning. Seemed we were rushed a lot and spent a lot of time at our hotels rather than more time at the destination sights. The most disappointing thing to me though is that I was told the tour would end around 4pm on the last day. That left us without enough time to fly out on that day so we booked a hotel room in Buffalo to fly out the next day. Turns out our tour director rushed us along on the last day because a couple had a flight at 2 that day. That is poor communication on someone's part. We could have flown out that day and saved ourselves the expense of a hotel room. Am I sorry we took the trip? No way! We met some really cool people on our bus. We laughed a lot and saw some wonderful sights. However I will look for another company on my next bus tour.

Thanks for your feedback. We try our best when planning things so far ahead of time. The Ford Factory changed its schedule and we still wanted to deliver what as advertised by visiting the factory. We do plan for rest stops, however, we have to work with traffic and timing cannot always be exact when dealing with outside factors such as traffic and location. You never should have been told to not use the washroom and we have flagged that with out coach partner so that never happens again. We have also addressed with the Tour Director the last day of the trip. Travelers flights were not to leave until after 4pm. You should not have been rushed that day at all. It is great you met some amazing people and had a great time and saw some interesting stuff. We understand group bus tours are not for everyone.

Fantastic experience: A trusted, reliable, honest, and respectable tour operator that has been in business almost a half of a century in Connecticut. The tour groups are always accompanied by a professional tour director that helps to ensure that the tours run smoothly. The company has excellent relationships within the travel industry and only uses trusted partners. A great tour company to travel with in Connecticut, throughout the United States and Canada and Internationally. Just got back from Mackinac Island- great group, well organized tour and lots of bucket list destinations- rock and roll hall of fame, Mackinac Island, the ford museum, Frankenmuth and Niagara Falls ! Wow!

Positive experience: Best bus driver ever. Nice hotels. Good free time. But the money we paid could have offered better meals. Lastly, please consider preparing an itinerary-detailed-for each participant so we know what to expect. We didn’t have a tour guide per se. Angelina, our bus driver, was forced to serve as the tour guide. Why was there not a back up plan ? No Wi-Fi on the bus. This was our first group tour. Maybe this is just the “way it is”?

Thank you for your feedback. We always appreciate hearing a customer's experience. Unfortunately, the Tour Director scheduled contracted COVID and we had to find an alternative. Angelina was a prefect substitute as she tour directs trips when not driving. Our trips always have a full-time tour director. We are happy you enjoyed the hotels and amount of free time. The coach originated in Canada and WifI is not available once it crosses the border into Canada.

Fantastic experience: This tour director was excellent -- organized, caring and efficient. She had to make some adjustments on the fly due to weather and other circumstances, but all went smoothly and we got everything that was promised and more. The bus (or "coach") was exceptionally comfortable (good legroom!) and gave good views of surroundings. (A tiny quibble -- it would be nice if the sound system allowed the use of earphones when videos are played so you don't have to listen if you don't want to.) The driver was pleasant and good at the actual driving, but perhaps needed training as he appeared to require close supervision by the tour director. All of the hotels were clean, comfortable and well located, but the Holman Grand in Charlottestown was a standout. The location guides were all very good and the stops were well chosen. I feel that I got an excellent overview of Bar Harbor, Nova Scotia, and PEI.

Fantastic experience: This was a wonderful trip to Nova Scotia and PEI. The tour director, Marina, did a fantastic job of organizing our group and the details of the tour. She was very interested in us, the clients, and our enjoyment of the trip. The tour itself was very interesting, we visited many sites and the Tour Guides were very knowledgeable and gave well prepared presentations. Even the ferry, I would do again. Only hopefully without the storms at sea. Thanks for a great time. "It's all good!

Fantastic experience: I went on a tour to Nashville, Memphis, and the Biltmore with Tours of Distinction and had a great time. We had plenty of time to see the home of Elvis and even stayed at the hotel that Priscilla decorated. Sun Studio was included on the tour and is one of the most interesting museums ever, it was amazing that so much music came out of that little place. In Nashville, we had great seats at the Grand Ole Opry and a terrific dinner before. The perfect end to the trip was our visit to the Biltmore Estate, it is spectacular...would love to go back at Christmas. The staff was great, and the pace of the trip was terrific and well worth the money.

Donald Nelson 2 years ago

Negative experience: My husband and I went on a one-day trip to NYC/Christmas Spectacular on Dec. 4th. The catalog description stated that lunch would be included at Carmine's. There was no lunch anywhere. Everyone was on their own at a service stop en route. When we questioned the tour guide she said that the prices at Carmine's had gone up considerably so they would not be able to include lunch. That's ok - but how about telling everyone involved ahead of time??? We had submitted a voucher for 10% off our trip in early August, but have never received a refund, despite having phoned and emailed several times. The voucher itself had come with their catalog in the post. The refund amount, for $55.00, has not been received nearly six months later. No, we would not recommend this company to anyone else.

Tours of Distinction

Thank you for your feedback. We are surprised to be hearing of this from you almost 2 months after the trip and unaware that you were trying to reach out, as we have not received any calls or emails from you regarding this issue. The catalog goes to print over a year out from departure and states please see our website for full details and updates [as things can change]. The trip flyer, website and the book only feature (you booked through the website) does not show lunch is included as it was not. Please contact our office so we can look into the promotional discount (not a refund) being applied to your booking. We are here or you when you are ready.

Bob Abercrombie 3 years ago

Negative experience: We recently went on a trip to the Berkshire for the train, lunch and apple orchard. The trip time was changed and email sent out late on a Friday. however the place was closed. Thus we never got the early departure time. We left to pickup another groups across the state. The gps was set to the Lenox train station and not the North Adams. We pulled up after driving back roads to a station not used in years. The wrong spot. Next, we headed north to the right station. Passing old snow plows. We were told we missed the train anpassed the plows again for or 35min drive. Oh we just missed the orchard. On to NY to turn around. 1/2 hour at the orchard. Now we head north passing the plows again heading to the restaurant in North Adams. All 42 arrived, but only 40 seats out and a 30-40 mins to eat. I bussed the table for Easter coffee and tea. The food was terrible. Off to the train.. The train was ok and staff on it nice to talk too. Back home we went with a stop on the side of highway. I got off the bus 2.25 hours after the schedule return time. I learned the bus driver could drive any longer so the people had to get another driver.

Negative experience: Our tour thru Germany/Austria was a tour from hell.From switching everything around once we got there to non working toilet on the tour bus to having to pay for our own flight back & meals that were suppose to be included. And of course no one returns your calls for any reimbursement.

It is unfortunate you could not continue on the tour for reasons beyond our control during the pandemic as you contracted COVID. In this instance, any reimbursement for missed services should have been addressed with your travel insurance company.

Negative experience: I cannot say. We have tried to have them call us back for a week. You cannot get ANY information until you fill out forms online. Then they are supposed to get back with you.

We take all reviews seriously and thank you for yours Mary. We are a little confused regarding your review. Our representative has spoke to your husband a few times and provided all the answers to any questions. You do not have to fill out a form online to get answers. You can either book the trip online or using a reservation form and your husband opted for online.

The last correspondence was a call from your husband asking if we received an online booking for Newfoundland; he was advised she had not. That was on March 24 (2 days ago). No booking has ever come through. If it had, you would have received an automatic email. At this point, we didn’t think anything more was expected until we heard further. We apologize if there was en expectation of something different.

Fantastic experience: I was on the tour to Quebec for Winter Carnival. The tour, the points of interest, the hotel and the food were great. We traveled in a blizzard and the trip could have gone in the wrong direction, but TOD worked behind the scenes with the Tour guide in Quebec to make sure all points of interest were visited and everyone remained safe. Professional, top shelf accommodations and a staff that truly cared about our experience being memorable is how I would describe TOD. Can’t wait to get on the road again with TOD.

Mark Phelps 6 years ago

Negative experience: Warning I do not recommend Tours Of Distinction, in fact I strongly suggest that you go through a different tour company. My wife and I for 30th anniversary took an Alaska trip with Tours Of Distinction. The first part of the trip was on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship and was what was advertised and what we expected it to be. The second part of the trip was very disappointing to say the least. This is where our itinerary was changed without letting us know ahead of time. We were scheduled to tour the interior of Alaska. Our itinerary that we received and paid for ahead of time had been changed before the trip started and none of us were informed of these changes. Come to find out Tours Of Distinction had subcontracted us out to a different tour group without doing their due diligence to make sure we were getting what we had originally paid for. Activities that we had paid for were not on the new itinerary and hotels were changed to a lesser quality hotels. When we arrived home from our trip those of us on the tour contacted Tours Of Distinction and we were assured that we would be fairly compensated for the changes. This did not happen. After seven weeks of negotiation with Tours Of Distinction we received a monetary amount that was much less than any of us felt we should get, along with 10% off of a future trip. The owner of the company acknowledged that he knew none of us would book through Tours Of Distinction again, so the 10% was not a serious offer for compensation. This was a classic bait and switch where we paid for a certain product and received a much lesser product. None of us on the tour will ever travel with Tours Of Distinction again. Travel at your own risk.

Fantastic experience: I have been traveling and booking trips with Tours of Distinction for a few years now and in every way I find them superior in service and value.

No matter what problem I might have they always seem to find the answer for me whether I am calling on the phone or traveling on one of their trips I know I can expect the best. Travel now sometimes can be very stressful and booking with someone I trust means I can put my mind to rest, relax and enjoy my vacation.I highly recommend them.
