I just returned from my first trip with Classic Journeys. It was the Montana Glacier National Park tour July 2021. This tour operator prides itself making every trip the trip of a lifetime. It was very memorable but my personal experience was largely negative and the issues were preventable and unprofessional. I caution future travelers to think twice before making the sizeable investment with this tour operator.
Their administrative offices are quick and responsive with bookings but slow, placating, and finally non-responsive when you bring them issues requiring redress. Here is a snapshot: No COVID precautions per their website were followed. Nothing. Not even a mention. The two guides had interpersonal conflicts quickly evidenced by the group. As guests, we should never be aware of any discord or challenges between our guides.
It created a tense and uncomfortable environment and redirected our attention unnecessarily. It was a very amateurish situation and it permeated the entire tour. Basic communication updates were scarce from the guides. A camp group would have been better informed. The quality of lunches was substandard. As guests, we were charged premium rates for meals and lodging.
There were itinerary changes and what we received was not reflective of the price point paid. Prior to going, I read so many positive reviews of this company and I truly question their current ability to meet and provide the guest service levels promoted.

My family and I have traveled with Classic Journeys multiple times and their crew and guides keep on amazing us every time. We have traveled with Classic Journeys to Panama, Vietnam Laos and Cambodia, Turkey, and every trip was more memorable than the other. If I were to be asked to describe the trips in one word I would say "EASY". To me this is very important especially in countries where I don't speak the language, and I speak four of them.
I hate when I get to a country and I get ripped off by the cab on the way to the hotel, or by a restaurant at dinner etc. Well Easy means all this is taken care of by your Guides. They tell your schedule for the next day at dinner and what you need to bring with you and BAM your day and life got easier. Those planned days are so full of culture charity and social wonders, even my kids write about them in their school papers and college acceptance letters.
I am very happy I found and let Classic Journeys be my personal travel companion and my kid's educator in other cultures. Everything they do is humane, socially responsible, and very sensitive to the cultures we are visiting and learning about. In closing I want to recommend Classic Journeys to anyone interested in this kind of travel, YOU WON"T BE DISAPPOINTED. Thank you Classic Journeys.
