Wonderful time in the Carolinas

We had booked a fly drive holiday to the coast of North Carolina some months in advance and the day before we flew news was coming in that Hurricane Florence was about to hit the coast of North Carolina! We moved inland to the mountains and stayed in a wonderful inn which was so relaxing. We were able to continue our second week as planned and had a complete change visiting Charleston and Savannah which were great cities to explore on foot although ...

We had booked a fly drive holiday to the coast of North Carolina some months in advance and the day before we flew news was coming in that Hurricane Florence was about to hit the coast of North Carolina! We moved inland to the mountains and stayed in a wonderful inn which was so relaxing. We were able to continue our second week as planned and had a complete change visiting Charleston and Savannah which were great cities to explore on foot although the humidity did hit you! Loved the food and architecture.

We cannot thank Julie at Vacations who rearranged the first week of our holiday the day before we flew and recommended a place in the Smoky Mountains so we avoided the coast. Far from being disappointed we loved our first week and had a wonderful time. We have used Vacations to America several times and we always feel we get a personal service from friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Thank you.

Rating for tour operator:

This is the third trip to the USA arranged for us by 'Vacations to America' through our chosen Travel Agent - Fred Olsen Travel. The arrangements for each trip have worked perfectly with excellent documentation and guidance notes and first rate accommodation in very good locations. I have no hesitation in recommending both 'Vacations to America' and Fred Olsen Travel.

American Vacation staff very helpful with good information before travel

A great holiday initially in Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. Only disappointment was that we had asked for a unit in the Boca Rica Unit as we could then watch the Fireworks from our balcony at 9.00pm.We were in the Conch unit with lagoon view - very nice but was a shame as we had booked this a year ago and could not watch the firework display form our room at night with our young granddaughter.

Also another point when checking in to the Mainsail Beach Inn at Anna Maria Island was that we had booked and expected a 3 Bedroom beach level unit and we were told this was taken and given unit 4b up the stairs. Having also booked this a year ago as soon as the units were released I do not understand why we were not in the unit requested and able to walk out from the patio to the beach. This holiday was not cheap and having booked as early as we possibly could it was very disappointing that we were not allocated the accommodation we requested.

Your requests were made at the time of booking and passed onto both accommodations but sadly they are requests and properties will never 100% guarantee requests but will always do their very best but I am sorry they will not fulfilled.

Christmas at Walt Disney World

Had two days in Miami at the Turnberry Isle, a lovely hotel except for all the building work! Well worth taking an everglades tour and boat cruise. Drove to universal and stayed at the Loews Pacific, great hotel and location to both parks. A visit to the Volcano Bay waterpark is a must. Spent Christmas and the New Year at Walt Disney World! Stayed at the Art of Animation resort, in a cars suite which comfortably slept six. It is rated as a ...

Drove to universal and stayed at the Loews Pacific, great hotel and location to both parks. A visit to the Volcano Bay waterpark is a must. Spent Christmas and the New Year at Walt Disney World! Stayed at the Art of Animation resort, in a cars suite which comfortably slept six. It is rated as a value hotel and i would 100% recommend it. What better place to be on Christmas day and New Year was just as much fun, the best fireworks.

The tour operator arranged our flights, accommodation and car hire, we arranged our park tickets. All paperwork was sent through organised and on time. We had an issue with one of the hotels we stayed in, extensive building work was being carried out and the operator did not notify us. However, we have booked several holidays through Vacations, I would thoroughly recommend them as a tour operator.

A very pleasant family time.

This was third visit to Pink Paradise and although good, looking a little tired with same towels and bed line from our first visit a number of years ago, so a little disappointed. Area and house are in a lovely location which will revisit.

Great family holiday to Florida

We visited three parks which were great fun, but we also wanted to see some of the real Florida so we travelled to Crystal springs to see the mantees that over winter there. We also visited Gatorland and some of the other smaller attractions around Orlando, one other memorable event was a visit to see A Harlem Globetrotters basketball match, which was great fun.

Peaceful retreat.

Lovely area, house was good, shame that the local agent (TMI) had not thought to visit the house after hurricane Irma. The pool area and pool itself were strewn with tree debris, which gave a very poor first impression. However this was solved after a couple of visits to the office. Also, a lot of the garden furniture had been put away and no attempt was made to get these out. These were fairly minor issues, and we still enjoyed the peace and ...

Lovely area, house was good, shame that the local agent (TMI) had not thought to visit the house after hurricane Irma.

Also, a lot of the garden furniture had been put away and no attempt was made to get these out. These were fairly minor issues, and we still enjoyed the peace and quiet of the villa, and exploring the lovely beaches nearby. Car rental was arranged with Hertz, and this was a very smooth transaction.

Vacations To America went above and beyond to help us, when our holiday had to be cancelled twice due to ill health. I would definitely use them again.

Wonderful California

Everything that had been organised via Vacations to America. Our trip was for 17 nights and included 5 seperate locations. Vacations To America was superb from start to finish. The flights, accommodations, car hire and excursions were faultless and second to none. Absolutely brilliant! Our holiday included a show in Vegas and a helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon. Everything was organised for us and all went smoothly without any hitches

Vacations to America are a first class company who we have used for a number of years. Nothing is too much trouble and they are helpful and professional at all times. They ensure that we are looked after to a very high standard. I recommend them constantly to friends and family and would not use anyone else for our vacation needs.
