Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic! Show, lunch, Gary and John all FANTASTIC! One of my favorite shows so far. Thank you Gary's Tours for the wonderful experience and always providing top notch service. There is a reason you are the best of the best. On to my next.....
By Kelly H for Hell's Kitchen on Dec 20, 2024
This was a great trip. Even with the rainy weather, it was a fun day out. We enjoyed the train exhibit, the food and of course the company. Robert was great with us all. He accommodated everyone and was very engaged with the passengers. The bus was comfortable and clean and the bus driver was a pro. Looking forward to the next trip with Garys Tours!

The show was great and our seats were fantastic. Gary knows how to manuever the bus to keep everyone safe. Shady Maple's food didn't disappoint. Linda R.

There were just a few issues that hurt the rating on this trip and thought you could correct them if you run this trip again next year. 1. Going to the Christmas Market on a Sunday was a giant mistake. The place was mobbed and we were never able to purchase any food because every line had at least 50 people on it. Perhaps your trip should start on a weekday instead. 2. Hotel was beautiful but the breakfast was awful . . nothing hot except the coffee or tea. Not sure you can do anything about that, but it definitely was a negative. 3. The family style dinner at the Italian Restaurant on the last night was awful. We had just started eating the salad when the pasta arrived, and then the veggies and then the meat dishes. It's like they were throwing the food at us and we were all out of there in less than an hour! Totally absurd service and everyone complained about it! If the restaurant can't guarantee that they'll slow down the service, I would pick another place next time. Good Issues: 1. The tour guide and bus driver were great and did a good job. A lot of the issues were out of Al's hands. 2. The dinner show, "The Sound of Music" was one of the best dinner theatre shows we've seen! 3. The Snoopy Ice Sculptures were fantastic! 4. The Lobby Light Show at the Hotel was wonderful! Coreen and Vincent Speranza
