Reviews

I submitted a review last week but I didn’t get confirmation that it was received. I’ll try to re-create another one. For the most part it was a very good tour. Allison aka Allie was outstanding! She handled one sensitive issue with aplomb and professionalism.. There were times when room cards for the hotels weren’t ready, but she took care of that deftly. She was so well organized and also has a good sense of humor. Sometimes our turn-around time was very tight, such as checking into a hotel and leaving for an event, but that’s not unusual for a guided bus tour. All the Hilton hotels were very nice, especially the Double Tree right on Ocean City’s beach. I could have stayed there all week! The breakfast food at the hotels and our dinners were very good, with one exception: The Golden Corral in Williamsburg was AWFUL. Very disorganized when we arrived; there was a large dining area on one side and we all could have eaten there, but the hostess kept moving us around. The restaurant was a zoo with long lines to the buffets and large groups of school kids running around. This place was totally inappropriate for us. I recommend selecting another place. The places we visited were terrific : Annapolis State House, the Naval Academy, the Marines Museum, Colonial Williamsburg, Norfolk Naval Harbor, Assateague Island, and Berlin, a delightful little town, where we had lunch on the way back. I’ve probably left out places….. All the guides were so good, which is essential. And the red, white, and blue icing on the cake was the Virginia Military Tattoo. I know a little about the ones in Halifax and Edinburgh, but I’ve never been to one. It blew my mind! It brought forth patriotic pride, emotion, and awe. My favorite part was the bag- pipers and the Highland dancers. It was great seeing other countries represented, too. hope to go to another one. Our bus driver did a fantastic job, both keeping us on schedule as much as possible, and maneuvering in tight spaces. She and Allie were a great team of 2. My only concern was that the bus was cold. I heard other travelers complain, too, and with a group of seniors, that’s important. I had 3 layers of clothing on, and I did speak to Joanne about the temperature but it remained quite cool most of the trip. In retrospect I will remember this as a very successful trip, and I do recommend Best of Times tours for anyone. Thank you to all who participated in running this fun and informative tour, Diane Sheahan and Jerry Gove
