The itinerary booklets are brilliant. Useful tips plus a page for notes which I used as a diary.

Really impressed with the level of service that Nan and her team gave us . We had been waiting to do the trip for 8 years and yet they still had our original route available. I will always use Vacations to America and have recommended them to every one we met. All the hotels were really impressed with the trip diary that they supplied . A full 5 stars to them.

Brilliant, the accommodations were splendid in excellent locations

We went to the USA, flying into Oakland (San Francisco) airport, picked up a hire car and went travelling. Our first destination was the Yosemite area for 4 nights. Moving onto Lake Tahoe for 4 nights again, the 3 nights in Monterey before flying out of Oakland.

We had travelled with them before, when we did New England in the Fall in 2009, which they organised beautifully, which is why we suggested trying them to our local travel agent, (Fred Olsen Travel in Felixstowe). Again they did a splendid job of putting everything together into an overall package that worked perfectly.

Wonderful Holiday

2 week self drive tour of Utah and Arizona. We spent 2 nights in Las Vegas then toured some of the National Parks - Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyon Lands , Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon. We did stayed in a mix of lodges and hotels, some in within the National Parks. Scenery was stunning, accommodation was very good.

Tour operator was Vacations to America. Have used the company to travel to USA 3 times before. Always easy to plan routes and get quotes. Good advice/guidance on destinations which help in choosing where to stay. Good response from company when calling/emailing. Paperwork always arrive on time and travel documentation is well presented in a booklet form (contain good driving instructions).No problems have been encountered in USA - car hire, hotels, upgrades have all gone smoothly.

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.

Rating for tour operator:

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.

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.
