Jazz and Historical Tour
By: Michelle Cantu
Reviewed on: 23 Mar 2018
We took two private tours: one for the historical aspect and one for history of jazz. Both were amazing and would do them again. We were fortunate to have Tyler as a guide and he was top notch. I can’t say enough positive about him: intelligent, personable, knowledgeable and entertaining. We had a private car as well and would recommend that as well.

American Excursionist was impersonal
By: Prince
Reviewed on: 11 Sep 2019
The three activities planned by American Excursionist were outstanding. There were, however, glitches in payment which we did in advance, but which vendors say they did not receive. We never met a director for American Excursionist which would have made evaluating easier. The pick-ups by vendors were on time, and all vendors were professional.

Food tour of Carmel
By: California Dreaming
Reviewed on: 30 Sep 2019
Tracey was our guide and she was just delightful. She guided us through the town of Carmel to our food and shopping stops and as she did that, she gave us a tour of the town along the way. She was warmly greeted by all the shopkeepers and dining establishment owners/staff. They knew her and welcomed us with open arms. Her personality is a great asset to her tour. She is a very smart lady and one we enjoyed spending time with.

Excursionist was “by our side” the time we landed until our trip was completed. Although we didn’t really rely on them because our road trip was planned so well, they always checked in to connect us with our guides and itinerary on the next adventure. They were very reliable and of high quality, working with very experienced personnel. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.

Larry did a wonderful job hooking us up with tour guides at each of the national parks we visited last September. The guides significantly enhanced the enjoyment of our trip. Most of our accommodations we above average.
We recommend using Larry and will do so for our future traveling.

A couple of tours were not on time. The tour guides were given a different time than the one assigned me. Some did not have my cell phone number, but the number of DeRon in Florida. I was given an office number, rather than the cell number of the guide & we could not get in touch. Almost missed my helicopter ride in the Grand Canyon. The guide was given the time of the ride to pick me up.
