We will NEVER use Leslie Bryant at Valerie Wilson Travel again. Before we hired her we explained…read morecarefully what kind of trip we were looking to have, and our budget. We then paid her to organize our trip. She immediately outsourced the trip and the company she outsourced to came back with an itinerary that was DOUBLE our mentioned budget, our budget which was already generous and which she agreed to. After this is was all downhill from there. I ended up having to do a lot of the management of the trip and the bookings of our car transport and our tours. Not only that, but the company at the end part of the trip that she outsourced as well had us stay in a town for four days that was almost closed down, even to the point that our ferry back to the mainland was also closed for the season. I would never trust her with our travel arrangements again. Bummer.

Do not use this travel agency, specifically Yannette Edwards! I had a trip booked at the height of…read morethe COVID pandemic (April 2 - 9) and had to cancel because of a travel ban into that country. They had shopped out my air and hotel reservations to a third party agency and couldn't get my money back. They refused to cancel, stating I could only reschedule my trip indefinitely post-COVID. I don't have access to my flight credits or hotel reservation - they are holding onto everything in their name. I am out $7,000 for a trip I never took, for circumstances I had no control over. With these shady business practices, I wouldn't be surprised if this company goes under before the pandemic ends, then I'll really have NO chance at getting my money back. I'm pursuing legal action and filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau, Department of Consumer Affairs, an Department of Transportation. I've learned my lesson, I will never use a travel agency again! Update: 8/15/20 Our travel agent told us that she couldn't get a refund on our flights and they would have to apply our money as a future travel credit. She even argued with me that our flights to Belize were NOT cancelled at the peak of COVID. I contacted Delta Airlines to confirm and they told a different story, the fights were indeed cancelled and our travel agent received a refund on 3/30/20. She just pocketed the money and told us a different story. Message from Delta below.

Convenient, free shuttle that runs in a loop around Mountain View and stops close to just about…read moreanywhere you might want to go. You can take it clockwise (gray route) or counterclockwise (red route). The shuttle is clean and spacious and has free wifi; when I rode it on a Saturday, it was pretty empty. Its weekday hours were also recently expanded to 7am to 7pm, making it a viable work commute option. You can even track it live via a website or phone app (I haven't tried the app), which makes catching the shuttle a breeze. I did notice both times I rode the shuttle that there was an incident of someone shouting at the driver to stop because they needed to get off, but it was hard to tell whether the driver had missed their stop request or they had tried to get off somewhere that wasn't a stop.

A nice sweet bus for everyone to ride. Of course when the pandemic hit on March 2020 it was all…read moreempty but we are not here to talk about that. I want to talk about how cool this bus is. I am not from Mountain View but this cute little shuttle does great magic for people who are native to the area. People of all ages ride this. There was one time where it can be full of young people who want to save gas on getting around their city of residence. Other times it's a mix of people from age 4 to 85 that want to go to the doctors, San Antonio Shopping Center or a random Starbucks. On Saturdays it can go near Shoreline so if you are biking near the VTA bus yard this bus can be your resting area thanks to their bike racks. I live in a low-income area of San Jose and are really jealous that nothing like this exists near where I live. I wish it did so I could save money on gas. Note: We are still in a pandemic so please wear a mask. Staff here wear masks and seating is limited so continue to social distance.

Very impressed with the level of professional service of this company…read more Definately a service I am going to use again. I had an extremely time sensitive business engagement that I absolutely needed to be at, and was very nervous that I might not make it on time. Chris (my pilot, and i believe the owner of the company) was waiting for me, on time, with the plane already gassed up and ready to go. even had an ice chest of snacks and beverages for the flight!! Now keep in mind, I was a first time flyer, and I was pretty nervous.. Chris did a great job reassuring me, and deliverd me promply on time exactly where I needed to be, and even managed to make the flight enjoyable and excitinh for me- a nervous first timer! Overall, the experience was somewhat like taking a high class version of a taxi, but in the air! Thanks Chris!

No security check points of commercial flights, no passport control, no drive to SFO, OAK, or SJC, no parking woes, no headaches associated with logistics of commercial flying... right? Took off here to ISC West Conference & Expo in Las Vegas for security professionals. Many great memories. Flew from here to Sonora to visit with colleagues. Accompanied a good friend of mine and Silicon Valley's pioneer to various events. It is him who I would like to pay tribute to by this review. He's flying high up there somewhere, and he's greatly missed. This review is a tribute to my friend, mentor, colleague, and avid pilot. He housed and maintained his plane here at the Palo Alto Airport. He was one of the world's most powerful, legendary gaming pioneers. His design that he conceptualized had huge impact on the video game and computer industries - it was the basis and inspiration for certain aspects of the Apple II personal computer. It was before my time. We're talking early 70s. It was arcade game times at a company in Los Gatos where he built the circuitry for non-existent yet Computer Space, and became the VP of Engineering heading Coin-op division, and where two other big Steves interned and worked prior to forming Apple. So yeah, his plane lived at the Palo Alto Airport and that's where from, and back to, we flew for business, pleasure, and anything in between. Fly safe up there, my friend. We'll all be there one day.
