Excite Tour Company delivered another great trip. We did so many fun activities like a tour of the city by horse and carriage, lunch at the Grand Hotel and a Sip and Sail sun-set tour. Lots of available free time to do things I wanted to do like shop, hike, bike-ride, and kayak. Fort Mackinac was also an option. The guides were awesome and the group felt like family. Thanks again Excite for a great and memorable trip!

Good time all around. The lighthouse tour was a little lame - just 2 small lighthouses (I assume that's all there is there) The bus was a little short on leg room but the driver Robert was excellent; friendly, personable, knowledgeable, helpful, efficient. We took the Haunt tour; it was not worth it, fairly long walk at a too fast pace, and dangerous because we walked unlighted "paths" couldn't see tripping hazards. The stories were interesting. We always had to get going every day a little early - so, not leisurely. We were on the island 3 days, a fourth day would have given more time to explore The Hotel accommodations were beyond great !. Comfortable, roomie beyond compare ! I offer these as a critique amained at improvement. We did very much enjoy the trip.

We participated in the pre-cruise days in Venice. We were pleased with the hotel accommodations, dinners, etc. while in Venice. We were pleased with the excursions to Murano & Burano. Our only recommendation would be better planning & communication by Excite with the transfer of luggage to and from the hotel in Venice. Upon our arrival from the airport to the canal drop-off, it was very unorganized and did not move smoothly. The carrier wanted to take only the heavier bags, so we pulled carry-ons from our drop point to the hotel. Leaving the hotel was better but still disorganized on the carrier's part. We were printing luggage tags at the desk and stapling them to our luggage before leaving the hotel for the cruise ship. We believe Bill and Chris did their best with both the luggage transfer situations. However, we would suggest Excite review its contract with the carrier used for this part of the trip's service. Otherwise, great time in Venice & the cruise! Weather was HOT....which no could control! Even the Venetians said it was above average hot for them! Thanks, JJ!

We had an amazing time! Wonderful food, excursions, crew, and fellow travelers. Thanks for a great experience!

Mom and I enjoyed our opportunity to travel together—with someone else driving! Food was overly generous but delicious; hotels were beautiful with comfortable beds. My one suggestion was it felt like we had too much free time in Le Clare, but we didn’t try to eat lunch either, so that probably made a difference. I’m looking forward to visiting Galena and Hannibal again! Thank you to Pat, our GREAT guide, and to Robert, a really good driver!
