Very professional tour group. They also are a preferred provider for St. Andrew's tee times. If you want to go first class then this is your tour guides/ drivers. Always on time waiting to serve you. Kenny Phillip was our guide for the week. Super job. With great suggestions. We all left as good friends. Can't wait to repeat the experience.

Katie got it that travel with a young adult meant active fun.

Katie Buckley is an angel at Connoisseur Travel. Her wisdom, her work ethic, and her devotion to our having a memorable father & son trip to Bermuda made all kinds of good things happen for us. Her insights guided us to the perfect choice of resorts that fit our wants and preferences. She took care of all the details and got us great flights. She even took care of bag tags! I haven't used a travel agent in decades, but I'm a believer now. It's a great feeling to have someone looking out for your best interests. Really, how often does that happen. Katie Buckley is like a traveler's guardian angel!

Disneyland

I used Connoisseur Travel to book a trip for my daughter and I out west to visit the national parks in southern Utah and then head to Disneyland, with a stop in Vegas, in a Mustang covertible. What a great trip!! John Cerrotti did an excellect job pulling it all together and even let us know when the flight times changed so we weren't caught by surprise. I plan to book all my travel with Connoisseur Travel in the future with John as my go-to agent!

Phyllis and our personal guide Sean kept adjusting as the conditioned changed ! The city was great, our safari and accommodations were superb, and the Richard Branson resort was spectacular even though we literally were their only guest due to countries closing down due to Covid.

Because it is daunting to plan a trip half-way around the world when there is only limited travel information available, I decided to use experts who have actually lived in South Africa AND know what it is like to be a tourist there. They have test driven all their recommendations for safety, comfort, value, and reliability. I have to say that I hit a real home run by picking this company. Everything fell into place from the airport pickup clear though my airport drop-off. In the process, I experienced the trip of a lifetime that far exceeded my expectations which included terrific guided tours of major visitor destinations, scrumptious accommodations, horseback riding through wine country, and a safari experience that knocked my socks off. Plus they made me realize that luxury was not beyond my pocketbook! Using Wild Life Safaris was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

The United States Capitol is absolutely beautiful and a must see when visiting Washington, D.C. The…read morearchitecture is breathtaking, and knowing the history behind it makes it even more meaningful. Learning about the enslaved craftsmen who helped build parts of the Capitol, including many of the stone columns and intricate details, adds an important perspective to the experience. The House of Representatives and Senate chambers were especially impressive. Phones aren't allowed inside, but seeing them in person is something to experience at least once. Be prepared to go through security, and make sure you leave items like pocketknives or pepper spray behind... I learned that lesson the hard way! I highly recommend reserving your tickets ahead of time so you can avoid extra trips through security and make the most of your visit. A beautiful piece of American history that is well worth the time. Hungry? The Thomas Jefferson Baked Macaroni & Cheese is AMAZING! It's a big enough portion to split between two.

It's amazing, but there is a right and wrong way to do this tour. Let me help you out: Go on to the website and get a tour lined up beforehand. You can show up without tickets, but you could end up waiting an hour or more. With the reservation, you breeze into your tour without the anxiety of waiting in a line to find out when you can go on the tour. I've done the line, and it's hit or miss. Get the res. The tour is FREE. This is an amazing service to the public and it's one of the truly fantastic things about DC. They could easily charge but they don't. The tour is excellent. It starts with a short video in a lovely auditorium where you get the full scope. I've seen this video now a dozen times and it's inspiring. Then you get broken up into 1 of 5 groups and assigned a docent who communicates over your own personal radio-headset. You don't see the actual chambers of congress on the tour, but this is something you can do on your own and sit in the gallery during an actual meeting of Congress, if you like. The Rotunda is impressive. The art is museum quality. The halls are hallowed. The information is extensive. Each docent does their tour a little different and they all impart so much information, you would literally need to be on the tour a dozen times to absorb it all. This is an A+ experience in DC and a must if you come to visit. And, frankly, going to the gallery is impressive for only about 20 seconds. You sit above and listen to the presentation of a bill and see a few famous members of our legislative branch, but after 10 minutes, it's exactly like watching C-SPAN. Literally. Go on this tour of the Capitol building. You'll walk away feeling you really saw something worth remembering.

I can't say enough good things about Oasis. They are very professional. They have two kinds of…read moreservices: 1) Getting you a visa from start to finish and 2) Simply taking your passport to the Chinese embassy for you since this is required to get a visa to visit China depending on which state you live in. (I live in Texas, which is one of the states assigned to the embassy in Washington, as opposed to one of the several consulates the Chinese government has in other cities.) My case was case #2--I had applied online for the visa (this can be a bit painful, depending on how much time you have, how much help you can get from others, and how well you understand the form instructions--if I had to do it over again, I might have gotten their start-to-finish service; it certainly would have saved me time) and gotten the go ahead from the embassy to bring in my passport. I signed up with Oasis on their website, filled out whatever they required, and paid the fee (about $60 for their services plus a little over $20 each way for FedEx second day service to take my passport to them and then get it back to me). They sent me a shipping label which I took with my passport and a couple of other things they wanted me to stick in the envelope (I don't quite remember what they were right now) and took it to my local FedEx store. They, then promptly took my passport to the embassy and got an estimated passport pick up date from the embassy. They went to the embassy on that date, picked up my passport and sent it to me. If I understand it correctly, I actually received it a day early (next day in stead of second day). Problems: Well, the instructions were not always obvious and I had to call them a couple of times to get clarification. Other than that, I was very impressed by their service and would highly recommend them.

This company is probably fine if everything goes right with your application - but the minute there…read moreis a problem and you need more help, they become unresponsive and avoid communication. Super stressful experience. I hired Oasis specifically so that someone was in my corner to hold my hand and give me good advice on the off-chance something went wrong with my application. Well, something went wrong with my application, the approval was delayed by the embassy, and I wasn't able to make my trip. The delay wasn't Oasis' fault - but the way they handled it added more stress to the situation instead of less. At first, I felt very comfortable with the company because their intake process was so streamlined and communication was proactive in the beginning. But when it became clear that my application may not be approved before my trip and I needed some extra help, I called them for advice, and it was clear they weren't invested in helping me figure it out. I would email the service line with a time-sensitive question, and not get a response or call back on time. I would ask the person handling my account to proactively update me on whether or not there was a change in my application, she said she would, but never did - not once, over the course of two weeks. I had to call and chase for every update. When I decided to cancel the application, they didn't notify me when they received my passport back from the embassy, and they didn't notify me when they sent my passport back to me, so I had no idea that a delivery was coming. There's more, but you get the idea. Seemed clear that these people have one streamlined process, and if your case falls outside the bounds of the process, they de-prioritize you.

Our small software company has worked with VisaPro over the last 10 years for help with H1-B visas,…read moreGreen Card applications and other employment-related immigration matters. They've been fantastic to work with, and I recommend them without reservations. Here's some of things that make them so effective. (1) Deep understanding of the employment immigration system and the criteria for successful acceptance of your applications. They will work with you to refine your application to highlight the appropriate areas, demonstrate how they meet the required criteria, and provide a clear path for USCIS to approve the application. (2) An online portal for document management, with logins for employer and the employee. This is used to share key documents and provide feedback, allowing you to see where you are at each step. (3) Availability for answering questions and providing guidance. We have sent resumes to VisaPro for potential employees, asking them for advice on what type of visa would be appropriate. We have held detailed discussions on particular applications. We have also requested advice on employees who were leaving our firm in the middle of the process. In all cases, we have found them to be responsive and knowledgeable. (4) A clear and transparent pricing scheme. Generally, there are fixed fees for certain types of applications, with additional costs if the application goes into a second round. We've found the fees to be very reasonable. Our typical process with VisaPro with a new employee case has been (a) Upfront conversation between our firm, the employee, and lawyer (b) VisaPro tells us what documents to gather, has us fill out a matrix of job responsibilities and skills (c) VisaPro compiles the application and send it to us for review, with specific instructions on what to sign, what checks to include, etc. In cases where the USCIS returns a Request for Evidence (RFE), asking for more details, they have been explicit in advising us what information will be the most effective in making our case, and helped us create a compelling response. In one case they were even able to tap into their network and provide supporting letters from experts in the field. We typically find ourselves working with one of several attorneys supported by other staff members. This has worked well for us. The lawyer is available when needed, but a paralegal or other staff member can provide rapid or informal feedback. The current US work immigation system is complex and time consuming. Recent political trends have been making this worse. Despite this, my understanding is that VisaPro has close to 100% success rate in H1-B cap applications by their clients. We've found them to be effective shepherds for all of our employment immigration-related needs.
