Is there a better time to use the Rocky Hill - Glastonbury Ferry? What's that you say? Medical emergency? Yeah, I guess that would be a better time. You're in South Glastonbury and you realize you forgot your purse at a picnic table at the Ferry Park Grill? Hmm. That's better too. Can we just agree that the CSA/Dog thing is in the top quartile of best times? Thanks. It was a lovely $5 trip that probably saved me a good 20 minutes. Service was historical, prompt, friendly and nautical. Five Stars

9/19/21 Being the oldest continuously operating ferry in the country makes me wonder how I've never…read moreused this historic treasure before now. It's actually a barge, guided by a very small tug boat, making it a quaint and interesting mode of crossing the Connecticut River. It holds a mere 3 cars (and in my case, 3 cars plus my motorcycle). Crossing takes about 5 minutes, and affords a scenic view of the river and environs. Six bucks for passage on a weekend is a bargain in my book, considering how enjoyable riding a piece of floating history it is. It also is invaluable to some commuters and bicyclists that have no real other way to get across the river, without going eleven miles to the next closest bridge crossing. It's great as no more than a tourist attraction in my case! Loved the ride. You will too! From "the Rocky Hill Ferry CT.gov" website. ***** History***** "The nation's oldest continuously operating ferry service crosses the Connecticut River between Rocky Hill and Glastonbury. The original ferry, which dates back to 1655, was a small raft pushed across the river using long poles. Under State charter, the ferry service was operated by local families throughout most of its existence. The ferry service was such a vital transportation link within the region that crossing would cease only during the most adverse conditions."

I was given their number by a close friend who has booked many vacations through them. Last year I decided to send them and email and I received one back from Mary who would be our travel agent. There is not enough room on this page to describe how lovely, professional, and efficient that Mary is. She took all my worries and concerns away when it came to traveling. Last August my husband and I booked our wedding/honeymoon through her and every single step of the way Mary was there with the answers and the solutions. I can honest say that all I had to do was describe the type of vacation we wanted and price range and Mary did all the leg work. We barely had to lift a finger and we received the most spectacular vacation. I had quite the list of things I wanted out of my vacation and Mary made sure we got every single one. I never had to wait days or even hours for her to get back to me. Mary made sure that she communicated all the details of the trip verbally and always sent a follow up email so we could reference back to them. This was extremely helpful considering my husband is away often and I'm usually running around like crazy trying to get everything planned and together. Mary made everything so easy. We had an incredible wedding and honeymoon filled with so many memories. It was such a success that we just booked again with her to go away for our anniversary! I can not wait and once again Mary made it a pain free process. I don't know how she does it!! If you want someone who cares about your vacation , will get you the best pricing possible and is stellar at their job....you NEED to call Mt Carmel Travel and book with Mary. Thank you for all the hard work and all the fantastic memories we will get to have through these vacations, we are forever grateful.

I asked one of the agents at Adler Travel to help me book a trip to Madrid and Paris so that my…read moredaughter, an art student, could see the great museums. The agent did competently book flights and hotels, and I'm choosing to see that as a "glass half-full". But she needed a couple of reminders and she took a couple weeks longer than she said she would. And really, in a world where we all have TripAdvisor, I'm not sure that saved me more than 4 or 5 hours versus doing it on my own. Where I really could have used help, there was none. I was very clear about the purpose of the trip and the museums we intended to visit. Those museums are currently deluged with tourists and all now require booking time slots weeks in advance. If we had shown up without pre-booked tickets, we would have been turned away, negating the entire purpose of the trip and wasting thousands of dollars. This kind of information - learned from personal trips to the destination or previous bookings - is the real added value a travel agent should provide. Our agent provided none. Luckily for us, I learned about the need for pre-booking from Rick Steves' books before it was too late to get in. It was too late to get the time-slots we wanted, however. Some of the slots were decidedly inconvenient. A few weeks' earlier start would have been extremely helpful - a heads-up from the agent would have made a huge difference. Our agent was simply MIA after the initial bookings. She did finally respond to an email requesting help booking flights from Madrid to Paris - after I'd already booked them myself - with apologies about missing my email in her very full inbox. I had to do all of the research and booking for the museums myself, something that took many hours. Every agency has multiple agents with different levels of experience and enthusiasm for the job. Adler has a good enough local reputation that I'm sure some of the other agents are more helpful. But my experience with my agent was not great. I credit Rick Steves for a successful trip, not my agent. If I hadn't checked those books, it would have been a complete fiasco.
