This trip was absolutely phenomenal! Jamiece put in thoughtful, detailed planning in a way that exceeded what she would find in my opinion anywhere else. Every detail was carefully curated and carried out in such a way that you can see her heart was in it. She truly cared about everyone on the trip and the experience they walked away with any excursion she would do going forward. I would be happy to be a part of!! we made friends along the way, I enjoyed the games on the bus, the songs, the videos, so much thoughtful detail put in to making the bus ride a pleasure. It was also nice to be able to stop along the way where we never sat too long. We loved the museums, the Matt, the Tours provided at Bethel, it was beyond anything I could have expected!! Constructive feedback for improvement 1. It would’ve been nice to spend a little bit more time in the hotels. The ones picked were very nice. 2. The last-minute change in plans to unload our luggage before going to Times Square. Got us there 2 1/2 hours after the 6 PM arrival time. My son was in New York had caught a subway to see us based on the itinerary and we got there so late he had to leave and I never got to see him. 3. We were denied the opportunity to get off the bus at Times Square, which was a part of the trip that we didn’t pay for. The driver asked and the majority of Friends on the front of the bus. Most in front said no loudly. The driver right after that said my kind of people and kept going so it made it awkward for anyone who wanted to get off. My son went all the way to the front of the bus to let the driver know we wanted to get off and was told no at Katz deli, several other friends in the back expressed that they also wanted to get off the bus and that they felt awkward because of the way it was handled as well, and then we had to ride around till almost midnight and extremely tired that was too late to get back at the hotel to have to be out early in the morning. I do know if Jamiece was there it would not have happened that way because every place we went she made sure that everyone and anyone who wanted to do something that she had offered was able to do it. I think it was just an unfortunate oversight. 4. It was recommended that we could start off at lunch at the African-American Museum. They took so long to serve us. We didn’t get to see a thing in the venue and that museum does not allow you to take leftovers, it would’ve been nice to know that because anything that wasn’t eaten, had to be thrown away. I know you are couldn’t have known that but for going forward, it may be nice to let the Friends know that if they choose to start off with a male at the African-American Museum, there is a chance they may not get to see much or any. SUMMARY The trip as a whole was again phenomenal!! I would l’d have nothing but good things to say in talking to others about it, but highly recommend it and I truly feel that Jamiece has a gift for what she does!!

This is more than a trip to Bethel, it is an experience. The wonderful team and attention to detail along the way made this trip so special. I highly recommend for anyone to go. It will give you the spiritual boost you need and a greater appreciation for the brotherhood that will stay with you forever.

This trip was remarkable!!! I felt like we started our day every day with Jehovah and ended it every night with thoughts of Jehovah and the many individuals who truly love Him and His son. I truly enjoyed this journey with the friends. The itinerary was carefully thought out and included a variety of interesting and fun activities for all ages! The small attention to details was delightfully surprising and warm. Any inconveniences or mishaps were far outshawdowed by the enjoyment received and the wonderfulness of it all. The only suggestion I would offer would be to plan future trips so that more time could be spent at some of the venues. For example, I thoroughly enjoyed the Bible Tour, but would have liked to explore the museum a little bit more on my own afterwards. Also, It was nice to venture into the African American museum, but the lines were so long in the cafeteria, once we sat down to eat, it was basically time to go and so I didn't get to explore any of the exhibits. Also, I know it may not be possible for the Bethel tours, but it would have been nice to enjoy one of those hotel rooms a bit longer, such as the StayBridge Suites. which was a really nice spot. Otherwise, the trip was amazingly awesome!!! I have worked as a Corporate Execurtive for MetLife for over 15 years and in comparison, the planning for this event was outstanding and out of this world. I would have say, it was one of the nicer experiences I've had the opportunity to enjoy! Thank you Dolyn Teatime Company!

The May 2026 Bethel trip (8 days) was wonderful! The trip was well organized including plenty of daily activities. The hotels were selected with comfort in mind, they were spotless and breakfast was fantastic. I loved the gifts that were placed in our room each night! That was such a warm expression of love for our spiritual family. I am very appreciative of the concierge team, they provided an exceptional service from the start of our trip to the end of the trip. I look forward to the next trip planned by Dolyn Teatime Company. Thank you for an amazing trip to Bethel!

The trip was comfortable and exciting. The tours were so much fun and the accomodations were very nice. The whole experience was unforgettable and well worth the money and time spent.
