The absolutely worst trip ever! The organizer, Maria, was inept, unwilling to seek help from anyone local, had not booked enough rooms to accommodate guests at several stops & had no idea she had scheduled a trip to Scotland in the middle of the British Open which was being held at St. Andrews course. When we got to Stirling Castle as well as Edinburgh Castle she had not purchased tickets ahead of time & argued with the group coordinators at both locations about it. She was juvenile in dealing with people’s questions & refused to accept responsibility for any of the situations she had created. We started the trip with the castle we were supposed to be staying in the first few days uninhabitable due to water & smoke damage from a fire the year before. She didn’t even verify the hotels before we arrived. Fortunately there was an old lodge-type hotel on the property that took us in. When we got to the Stagecoach Inn on Loch Lamond there were again not enough accommodations for the guests and she sent two of them to a hotel in the neighboring town. They didn’t know each other and one was a woman traveling alone who was panicked by being away from the group. The most astounding moment was when she abandoned two guests at a dive hotel in Kirkcaldy because the hotel we were to be staying in there, the Strathern, didn’t have enough rooms & those guests objected to the idea of having to drive the 45 minutes each way to stay at an airport hotel in Edinburgh for the rest of the trip. I could never in good conscience recommend Mysterious Adventure Tours to anyone. The disregard for the safety of tour members and for any attention to detail was amazing. The lack of organizational skills and arrogance was equally amazing. There are other options for a wonderful time in Scotland where your safety isn’t going to be jeopardized by inept & petty behaviors by someone unwilling to accept responsibility for their lack of planning while being the owner & responsible party.

Mysterious Adventure Tours worked so hard to ensure that we had a great time, and did we ever! I loved everything about our trip to Ireland with Dustin Pari! The places we went, the places we stayed, the food we ate, our guide, our coach driver, our hosts, all of it was amazing! I would not have changed one thing! Not one! This was my very first tour with Mysterious Adventure Tours and it will definitely not be my last!

We had an amazing experience! Dustin and everyone at Mysterious Adventure Tours was fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure a very magical journey through Ireland. Not only did we get to see some of the most iconic destinations, but also many places "off the beaten trail" that gave us a true taste of Irish hospitality. Thank you again for such a wonderful trip!
