It's been two years since the trip to Oregon. We still talk about how horrible the experience was. Sitting on the bus for hours only to be told you could not walk anywhere. Beware: Road Scholar has changed. I went on my fourth trip and it was a nightmare for 9 days. The best part was getting off the bus. It was supposed to be "keep the pace". But the group leaders could hardly make it off the bus. We were not allowed to walk around at any of the stops at the ocean or the redwoods. The stories on the bus were endless ramblings of their past trips and memories. Not informative or interesting. We were not allowed to talk to each other on the bus. It would have been better to have a recording from the park service playing through headphones. We never knew what town we were driving through and only the group leaders could see the sights (they always had the front seats). Being treated like a second class citizen after going on a ninety minute tour of the Oregon caves only to return and getting yelled at for making everyone wait for "90 minutes". The food was horrible if you were lucky enough to get to the "buffet" in time...you better like chicken pasta and pizza, because that's all you get. No local food or wine. (We heard about salmon for days but never got to try any.) And the hotel in Eureka was moldy and under construction -gross.. Not sure who interviews the group leaders, but they should at least have some kind of degree or teaching credentials and physical requirements. A waste of $5,000. I could have planned a better trip on my own.
Road Scholar adventures provide local experts to give you more depth to your travel. Their worldwide destinations, signature city trips, travel focused on hiking, photography, politics, etc. offer something for everyone. I highly recommend Road Scholar.
We just completed our 4th trip with Road Scholar, Hiking Death Valley, and were already planning our next adventure, The Best Of India: North and South. Road Scholar is attentive to every detail ensuring the maximum satisfaction and comfort for the traveler. They also ensure a 360 degree learning experience: touching on the people today as well as the cultural, historical, geological and mythical relevance of each site visited! You return home enriched by the experience. We would rate them a 10 out of 10!
They stranded my elderly Mom in London, she went to the airport with her passport and there was no ticket for her return, she had to pay for hotel and next day airfare. After promising to investigate they continued to blame her. They never were able to produce any proof that a ticket was purchased in her name, and the credit card company finally refunded part of the trip, not Road Scholar. Send your loved ones with enough cash to get home.
