      Had a wonderful time. Show was great. Everything was wonderful and went smooth from the bus ride to the restaurant to the theater. It was well planned and went accordingly. Driver did an excellent job getting us there and back. Food was good bus was comfortable seats in theatre were very good. This is a first class company.

      The best trip ever! It was well organized and had so many interesting excursions. The accommodations were great, as well as the restaurants. The driver, Eddie, and tour guide, John, made us feel very welcome and safe. I would definitely have more trips with your company.

      The participants on the bus were informed 45 minutes out of NYC that there had been a MISPRINT on the starting time of the show "MJ"! We were under the impression that the musical started at 2pm so jaws dropped when were told it was a 1pm start. Vicky informed us that Connolly's Restaurant was phoned and informed of this and they would be ready for us so we could eat and get back to bus by 12:30. Jamal, the bus driver, was doing his best to get us there asap but there was hellacious traffic. We departed the bus for Connelly's at almost 11:30! We ran up the stairs because it would take too long for us to all go up in the small-capacity elevators. The staff at Connelly's was amazing and the food delicious, The servers went over and above to serve all the meals plus dessert & coffee. I ate like a dog at his bowl. Only finished half my lunch and two bites of dessert. Rush, rush, rush. No one could relax and enjoy their meal. Of course, everyone had to use the restrooms which takes time. We were supposed to be back an the bus at 12:30 but did not make it until 12:40. We were dropped off a block from the theater and walked at a rapid pace to get to theater. Got our butts in the seat about 4 minutes before they announced show was starting. Most of us were suffering from agita from all the stress! The musical was fantastic but the misprint Bull Shit put a damper on the day. Spoke with some women from Jackson and this was their first Getaways trip and said it would probably be their last. I told them I had been on many Getaways trips to NYC for plays and they were fantastic. Very disappointing and how is it that this "MISPRINT" was discovered so late? Note: Some disabled people on this trip needed their canes and walkers. Must have been mega stressful for them.

      Susan Thank you for providing this feedback. We always appreciate any information that will assist in making our tours the best they can be. I apologize regarding the theater start time mishap. This was definitely a mistake on our end. I contacted the restaurant and asked if they would do their best to expedite the service. I appreciate that they hustled as best they could but it was definitely rushed. I am happy everyone was able to get to the theater in time. This does not normally happen as we usually build in extra time to avoid any rushing. Again, I apologize for the rushed lunch and will do everything I can to avoid this mishap from happening again. I appreciate your kind words to the new folks and look forward to seeing you on another tour. Thank you

      In May, I traveled with GS Getaways to Brooklyn, Philadelphia twice and a multi-day tour to Long Island. Each experience was unique, interesting and well run. The excellent step-on guides and docents greatly enhanced the knowledge and appreciation of the sites, and the special meals or restaurants were carefully chosen. It was also fun getting to know so many fellow travelers and reconnecting with a few from previous trips. Thank you, Faith and company! Lois D.

      A wonderful Radio City Music Hall experience, it has been over 15 years, since my last experience, this trip with Faith and GSG, was filled with HOLIDAY MAGIC...may 2024 be kind to us...terri...Teresa Finn

      We have been on numerous trips with Faith and they are always adventurous and well planned. This year started with the Kentucky Derby, Land and Cruise thru Alaska and the Mircle of Christmas in Lancaster Pa was a great way to wrap of the year. Can't wait for new adventures.
