NIAGARA -ONTARIO
By: JP
Reviewed on: 10 Nov 2015
We had the best time! Mariott-Fallsview was wonderful. Our room had the best view of the Falls- beyond expectations. We plan on return soon to see more Niagara sites we didn't have time for. Thanks to Marje & Jackie for their assistance. James & Dragica

Great Service from Journeys Unlimited
By: Marty
Reviewed on: 20 Nov 2015
We booked our Apple trip to NOW Jade in Riviera Maya. through Journeys Unlimited. Marje took care of all the arrangements and immediately emailed to us any documentation received from Apple, so we were constantly updated on such things as baggage size requirements by the airline, prepayment for baggage cost that offered a savings, etc. NOW Jade was a very nice resort which was obviously from remarks by many people who go back to the resort often. The specialty restaurants served gourmet meals and offered upscale amenities. available liquor throughout the resort was top drawer. The entertainment was much more professional than other Riviera Maya resorts where we had vacationed previously. Beach seaweed and renovation work in the hotel lobby were the only slightly negative factors, but we had been warned by Marje before the trip. Good vacation!

Highlights of the Collette tour of New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Natchez, and Lafayette,
By: E and W
Reviewed on: 04 Jun 2016
Highlights of this trip included a cooking lesson and dinner with Chef Kevin Belton in New Orleans, as well as a visit on our own in N.O. to the World War II Museum, dinner at an antebellum mansion in Natchez, and a trip through the bayou. Tour guides were very well prepared wherever we went. Quite disappointing was the steamboat trip down the Mississippi. Lunch was not served on board as we expected. Instead we lunched at the "Crazy Lobster," a restaurant on the pier whose menu was slightly better than fast food. The cruise was also marred by an extremely poor sound system, which made it impossible to hear the Captain's narration. In addition, this stretch of the river is largely industrial. Tour members found the quality of the"included breakfast" at the Wyndham and the Grand Hotel in Natchez to be poor. This tour also did not provide folks the opportunity to meet as a group before the tour began. Collette bills itself as being superior to other tours: not necessarily !

Hi Marge Check in very smooth no problems Room smaller than expected Cabin attendant excellent. Room clean. Food - disappointing. Grande wasn't good and we only went once😞 Chic was better. Silk wasn't good. Bar poorly organized. Had to wait up to 1/2 hour for a drink. Kings Wharf very commercial not upscale. HorseshoeBay nice. Kids and grandkids and family had fun. Glad to have family time together.

Quality and Care

I have taken many missions journeys with Marje planning my missionary trips. Marje is an example of what customer service should be, and what is so lacking elsewhere. Marje is always there to handle what you need, is very responsive to any questions or concerns and more importantly, listens and truly cares about your needs. She never ceases to amaze me with her results and diligent effort to find the best solution to fit your needs, and I have more than once been astounded at the deals she finds. Above all this, I know she personally cares, it is not just business. That is a rare commodity and rarely found today. That is the gem that will truly make this company, and her personally successful. I could not be more pleased with her service and will for many more years plan more journeys and recommend her to everyone. Blessings.

We have worked with Marje for many years traveling all over the world. Marje provides a level of service that is rarely seen today. She has for many years worked tirelessly with us finding flights, travel accommodations and has always been available while we were in transit should we have any questions or difficulties. I would highly recommend Marje for anyone booking travel. She is one who truly cares about individuals and I would not go anywhere else for our travel needs.

I have worked with Marje numerous times over many years, over a decade at least. When I was planning a group trip with multiple originations in 3 different time zones, I turned to Marje to help with the airline reservations so that we would all arrive together.
She is a professional and worked with the 7 people involved to ensure that we arrived together.
I cannot recommend Marje highly enough.
