We had a wonderful time! The bus ride was smooth and very enjoyable!! Rob did a great job! The accommodations were clean and comfortable! The comfort stops were all perfectly timed for food! John did a fabulous job keeping us entertained and informed! We now have wonderful memories of our trip to Mackinac Island , the Grand Hotel, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Bronners Christmas Shop, Frankenmuth, the horse drawn carriage ride to the elk preserve, and all the wonderful meals!! Thank you for all you do to make the trip a great time for everyone!!
Well organized. Great fellow travelers. John was on top of his game. Rob was an excellent driver having covered 2,000 miles during this trip.
Highlights included the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and of course Mackinac Island.
The island was lie taking a trip back in time.
The Grand Hotel is aptly named. Ornate, beautiful grounds with an overflow of incredible flora and fauna.
The food was superb. Rooms were comfortable. Service was top notch and food choices were excellent.
We also enjoyed our time in Frankenmuth especially Brooner’s Christmas extravaganza.
A pleasant surprise was our stop in Clare on the way home. Beautiful town. The Cops and Donut bakery stop was a special treat.
I could keep writing but suffices to say we had an excellent time.
Another excellent trip.
I had a great time. All the people on the bus were very nice especially to me since I was traveling alone. They went out of their way to make sure I always joined a group to sit with for lunch and/or dinner. The stops were all great including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Frankenmuth, Bronners, Bavarian Inn, Thunder Bay Resort and Mackinac Island. The only change of plans was one day, Sunday, when we found out that Silver Linings was closed on Sundays. They should have known that while planning the trip. Our tour guide was great, informative and always made sure we had all our folks on the bus, and he counted every piece of luggage when we stopped at a hotel. He even had lots of snacks and water bottles for all bus passengers. We always had enough time to enjoy each stop. I would rate this bus trip in my top 5 bus trips I have ever taken. It was well worth it to see and stay at the Grand Hotel.
I'm honestly giving this a 5-star review for the scenery only. Food and hotels were a 3 star, too many late dinners, buffet lines long, and was just OK, IMO. Otherwise, the bus driver, Jon Nash, and the bus group made it a lot of fun singing on the bus. Vikki was the best, very patient and lots of fun. The Snake River float trip was awesome too.
Again, scenery was amazing, breathtaking and just in awe!!!! Can't get any closer to heaven :)
It was good, not great. Quite a few people thought this was a play, not the original movie, plus it was cut short by 25 mins. from the original movie.
Otherwise, special effects, 3D effects, all amazing - you must experience the Sphere, its so different!
I just wanted to thank both Faith and Eddie for getting us back to our cars safely after our trip to the Botanical Gardens, during the horrific forest fire. They both kept calm, cool and collected during what could have been a very stressful situation, it helped keep the rest of us calm as well. I have now been on several of trips with Faith and have enjoyed all of them, she is very accommodating and pleasant.
Thanks, Betty W

A perfect day trip!
Lunch at the Amish home was delicious. The show was superb. We had a great time. Very well managed by Vikky.
In May, I traveled with GS Getaways to Brooklyn, Philadelphia twice and a multi-day tour to Long Island. Each experience was unique, interesting and well run. The excellent step-on guides and docents greatly enhanced the knowledge and appreciation of the sites, and the special meals or restaurants were carefully chosen. It was also fun getting to know so many fellow travelers and reconnecting with a few from previous trips. Thank you, Faith and company!
