Our trip had an airline cancellation to start, but Glenn was able to work and still make the trip happen. We had a great trip with hotels in the city, allowing access to lots of sites. The tour guides were good, and we saw a ton of both cities.

The trip was so much fun. We got to see so many great sights and had good food. Our group leader was the best ever like usual. We had a couple flight issues that he dealt with like a pro. I would absolutely recommend this trip to everyone.

We had a great time! It was so nice not having to worry about getting to see everything, where to stay, where to eat, and finding parking. We just followed our group and enjoyed. Glenn did a great job, and we will be back with our other child in a couple years! Great stops, great stays, great food, and great people! Thank you!

This was a great trip! I enjoyed the activities much more than I thought I would. I enjoyed meeting new people and watching my son interact with his peers.

Recently we traveled with Glen on a whirlwind tour of various historical sites out east. It was all fabulously organized with all the details covered. I felt 100% comfortable with our bus driver. How stress free to not have to drive in some of these highly congested cities. Everything we wanted was included. So, one warning to the wise, plan at least one night midweek to arrive back to the hotel early. You'll be glad for the extra rest

Glen did an amazing job directing our group while we traveled. He has an upbeat atritude and listened to any concerns that we had. The trip itself was so interesting... my 8, 15, and 17 year old kids never had a complaint. If we travel again, we will be giving Glen a call!
