Since our company’s founding in 1974, we have been providing our customers with memories of a lifetime, through our travel and entertainment based programs.
The trip was spoiled by a detour from Marblehead (which is 2 hrs to Newport) to westborough a 1 1/2 hr detour on a bus..left MBHD at 630 am arrived in Newport,RI 10am
Our time in Newport was nice, seeing 2 mansions and lunch.we left Newport at 345pm
Arrived in Marblehead at 715 another 3 1/2 hrs on the road..why were the Marblehead clients put in the position for both detours??? Should you have brought the Marblehead people directly back and detoured to westborough on the way back.
Also the tour guide was not educated in the history of the area. Would to use this company again.
Thank you for a fun experience. A few items. The bus driver was great, unfortunately we were seated in the back and it took about an hour to warm up on a chilly morning. That bus was cold. (Understand you have to turn off heat going thru Boston tunnel but it shouldn't have taken that long to warm up.) The guide was kind, considerate with a warm friendly way about her and also nice enough to bring water and energy bars which we appreciated very much - thanks. We did feel our guide lacked information. We had done some research fortunately on the Newport Mansions before the trip. Our guide promised "lots of juicy gossip, stories" and instead told the same story twice and missed out on a lot of amazing Vanderbilt history that we felt she really should have known. Certainly it's available online, using the app and at the house so it IS available but we were a little surprised how little the guide shared in person and did think she should be more knowledgeable. Fun outing overall, great homes, lovely views. Thanks.
Just got back from a wonderful trip to Nashville. It was our first time traveling with Best of Times and we would not hesitate to travel with them again. Everything was taken care of from flights to transportation to tickets for shows. Kevin and Rebecca were fantastic. A really fun time.
Our guide and driver were great but it was a very long day. I was not made aware that this trip included other groups which had to be collected before we headed to the final destination. However I felt adequate time was allowed to visit both houses and to have lunch/shop.
Had a good time. Kevin gave clear explanations and repeated several times so everyone understood. Hotel accommodation was very good and the Rockettes fantastic!
