Moreover, it was because of Olsen-O'Leary that we made the right choice of resort and room. Had we followed our own counsel, we would have ended up in a more crowded area, and it would have really impacted our enjoyment. This was a very, very special trip for us, and because of Olsen-O'Leary, it ended up being everything we had imagined, and more. We will be a permanent client of Olsen-O'Leary!

Brett planned our entire two week mother-daughter trip to Italy (Sardinia, Tuscany, Florence) and…read morewe could not have had a better experience! He was so patient and knowledgable. I actually got sick two days before we were to leave - and we had to cancel the whole trip and rebook it. Brett handled everything and rescheduled it all. I can't imagine how we would've handled that on our own - his relationships with our hotels and organized activities is the only reason we were able to rebook without being charged for all the cancellation fees. Our hotels, private transfers, tours, and restaurant reservations were all 10/10 and absolutely perfect for us! I will not take another big trip without Brett handling it! Another really helpful tool was their app that had all our reservations in one place, including flights, transfers, activities, and dinner reservations. It made it SO much easier to keep everything organized. I am not a high-tech person and even I found it very easy and helpful to use! It is a must. We look forward to working with Brett again in the future.

Let me begin by sharing. I have not traveled in over 20 years! Last year, after a family member…read morevisited from the UK, I decided I would love to return the visit the following year. I had this conversation with my friends at work, and it was suggested that I contact Scholastica Travel, and specifically Consultant Nancy Peksa. My destination in the UK was Bristol, not an easy one from Pittsburgh. I had some questions and Nancy fielded all with professional precision. She found flights and times that worked for me and we booked my maiden UK voyage. The flights were the best and everything went off without a hitch! I'm now planning a second trip in August to Bristol, then onto Edinburgh, Scotland, back to Bristol, then returning to Pittsburgh. Nancy did all the flights and hotel accommodations. I have every confidence that this trip will be as splendid as the first. Thank you, Scholastica Travel, and especially Nancy for her indepth knowledge of the travel industry and first class customer service. I will definately be a repeat customer and definately recommend Scholastica Travel. Mazie Periatt

I went on 2 trips with this group , years ago.... Malory and Bill were very nice, but…read more... My first trip was a cruise. I didn't have a roommate, and I asked to be matched with a roommate. I paid extra to make sure I have a balcony room as I really wanted to enjoy looking at the ocean every day from my bed and getting the breeze off the ocean. I asked to room with someone, something they do if you want to share the cost. I got to my room before my roommate did as both beds are exactly the same both have a night table. Everything is exactly the same in the room. I just picked one bed because I wanted to lay down, so I chose a bed and was resting when my roommate came in and threw a big fit as to why I got to have that bed closer to the window and she proceeded to put all of her things across the common coffee table area and then took her bed spread and pillow and put it on the couch, leaving me with only my bed to sit on because she was now hogging the whole couch when I left the room for activities and came back. She had moved things that were on my night table, lit candles in the room and moved other things of mine as well. At the dinner table., People were approaching me with "is that your roommate?" And "I'm so sorry for you" as my roommate was going from person to person insulting each of them... And I approached Mallory and Bill about her behavior as well as her touching my stuff in the room, lighting candles and not leaving me alone. I had no peace in the room at all. My choices were to stay with her or to move to an inside room which does not even have a window to see the ocean from my room it's just an enclosed box. So, She was REWARDED with the entire room with a balcony TO HERSELF for her bad behavior. Meanwhile, the rest of my trip was in a tiny room with no window, and I was not compensated at all in anyway, and did not get the enjoyment or relaxation which I had OAID FOR and looked forward to (for months). Amazing journeys had let me down. I thought, however I would give it another chance after all what were the chances of being roomed with two horrible people??? So I decided to go to Israel and booked a roommate. This roommate also was a space hog, but not as bad as the first one, she ran ahead of me into the room and tossed her stuff across the entire common area not leaving me 1 inch to even put a hairbrush down. Then when we went out as a group one night, we were all walking, and apparently they had ordered transportation for us which consisted of one large, beautiful stretch limousine, and two small cars without air-conditioning. So the pretty people ran ahead into the limousine and myself and a handful of others were stuck in two cars, following two small smelly cars with no air-conditioning... This was disappointing to say the least you don't expect to be treated this poorly when you're on your vacation. For these reasons I will never book with amazing journeys again it shouldn't be a matter of if you're popular or you can run and elbow your way in front of other people to get the best... Very disappointing. The idea of it is great.... but personally, I would never go with them again unless they compensated me in a meaningful way for all that I've been through on those two trips.

Overall, my trip was truly fantastic, but there were two things that weren't…read more.. First of all, for a singles trip, I expected roughly half & half, but there were only 5 men on my trip. We had 32 people total. Also, I took the trip when I was 53, and I was told that the age range was 50 and up. It turned out that I was the youngest by about 10-15 years. Most of the people were in their 60s & 70s. They were all wonderful people, but I would have liked to know both things before I signed up. Next time I'll know the right questions to ask.

It was constructed as a "lifesaver" after the Johnstown Flood of May 31, 1889, the Incline has more than lived up to its original lifesaving purpose. I read that flood waters again swept through the Conemaugh and Stonycreek Valleys on March 17, 1936 and July 20, 1977. During both floods, the Incline carried men, women, children and vehicles to safety and help. It is one of the longest and steepest hoists in the world and one of the few transportation systems of its kind still in existence and has its place in the Guinness Book of Records as "The steepest vehicular inclined plane in the world." The incline is closed for refurbishments set to be completed in Spring 2023. We were thrilled to see a large American flag flying above the incline. The flagpole is 125 feet tall and is on the highest point above the valley. I am sure that this flag can be seen for miles.
