TRAVEL…This was our first time with Excite tours. I understand this was one of the first trips with two busses (Kansas and Nebraska) so there were a few glitches as could be expected. Our tour guide took it all in stride and things went fairly smooth. It was so nice to catch the bus 20 minutes from our home instead of flying to where the tour starts as we have done for over 20 years with another company. We appreciate JJ coming to meet us as we got on the bus. Suggest that stops with 2 tour busses always include restrooms that can accommodate more than one at a time! Also would suggest each day to change seats on the bus in order that all get to sit in all parts of the bus. That also makes it easier to visit and get to know everyone. TOURS…Mother Nature didn’t cooperate as there was a thunderstorm and it wasn’t safe to take the Apostle Islands tour. We enjoyed the planned tours, especially the Seaquist Orchard, Maritime Museum and the tugboat tour. Unfortunately the guide for Boynton chapel didn’t show so we didn’t get to see the inside of the chapel. The area was pretty but not sure it’s worth a stop. We also didn’t get to tour Kelley Country Creamery and instead went to an ice cream store. We enjoyed Lake Geneva and may plan to return next month after attending a wedding in Illinois. The mail boat tour was fun and we loved watching the jumpers! MEALS…The provided meals were very good and all went smoothly except for the meal in Duluth where the wait for our food was unacceptable. We loved the fish boil and it was simply delicious! ACCOMODATIONS…were all excellent except for the one in Sturgeon Bay. It WAS on the water though AND their breakfasts were very good! Thank you for the future credit.

Rough start! You can’t control weather, so not your fault that the Apostle Island tour was cancelled. What you can control is confirmation before hand on a guide to be there to open Bjorklundon Chapel to see Frisco paintings and architecture. Stood there in the rain only to get back on the bus. Lunch via itinerary was suppose to be at Al Johnson /Swedish restaurant/grass roof-goats., that didn’t happen! Disappointing! Another, how can the hotel be changed and announced days before tour. We were Looking forward to being Bayside at Sturgeon Bay, to enjoy our evening there. We never got that! Hotels are surely booked in advance?with confirmation. The other hotel was not Excites standard. Although the hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. Location didn’t allow to enjoy the Bay. Walked around Target when we could have been enjoying the Bay and things around there . Even hotel staff said we were on the wrong side of town. Fish Boil was entertaining and sooo delicious!! Having two buses traveling tandem brought issues. The night we had the taste of Door County by the time we ate, , they were out of one of the choices, of course wanting that entree. Too large of group to begin with. Half way in ..things got better. Lake Geneva was wonderful! Live-Laugh-Love and Travel R&D

This was my first solo trip. My daughter heard of the company and sent me the information. Throughout the trip our tour guides, Bri & Steph, did an amazing job of scheduling, calling a head to make sure destinations were ready for our arrival, choosing very good places to eat and our accommodations were spot on!!! We also had a wonderful bus driver who was there for us 24/7,

Excellent tour. Fantastic tour of San Francisco. And, the Wine Train was out of this world. Superb dining on the train and the two wineries where we stopped for tastings were great. We stayed at the Marriott and Excite tours always stay at really nice hotels. Guides were fun with lots of energy and they really stayed on top of things. Very accommodating, flexible and helpful. This was my fourth Excite trip and they have all been EXCELLENT!!! Jim

I loved the trip with Excite and will definitely book another. It was the perfect blend of travel events and relaxation. Our guide Jama and driver Robert did a fantastic job. Thank you!
