Disappointing from beginning to end…read more -Brochure states "each tour covers meaningful & memorable moments in Italy resulting in an authentic experience." I learned i should have done more research and gotten more details before signing up for a non-refundable tour. -Transportation by small uncomfortable vehicles not by van as noted in brochure. -Went to Montalcino (not listed on itinerary) told it was noted for wine tastings. It was 1 pm Gina said " we'll meet at the car at 5:30" She gave no map or suggestions for lunch on our own or other noted things to do there. -Usually left about 10 am, traveled over windy country roads for an hour or more with no music or culture talks to ancient monasteries and fortified towns with minimal insights. -One night an included dinner consisted of soup and water in a rural inn.

I used the app and called AAA for a tow truck. after half an hour they told me they would send a tow truck to help me. Not until an hour later (11:30pm), a tow truck came ( after figuring my location for 20 mins), however, the driver told me they could not tow my car due to some technical problems (???) and advised me to call other towing services . I kept calling AAA to send me another tow truck, but they said NO. Not until 1:30 am that a nice police lady stopped by and helped me call a tow truck. I did not get home till 4am. Terrible experience for me.

Do not exchange US dollars for foreign currency with AAA!! We paid them $300 US dollars to exchange…read more& actually received half of what the present exchange rate is. So we essentially gave them $310 for $150 worth of foreign currency. The bank they use PNC, made $150 on us. We wanted to return the money & cancel the transaction an hour later when we realized we got ripped off! but we told they don't buy back currency. We could have done far better just at an airport atm! We are very disappointed with AAA and will definitely not be using their currency exchange service ever again! Just shop around between your local banks for this service.

On my first visit to Bend, I saw a little bit about the Bend Ale Trail but realized it was too much…read moreto work on that trip. I had a visited a bunch of breweries, but not all in any one region. For my most recent trip, I purposely tried to complete what I could. The Bend Ale Trail is a sponsored by the Bend tourism authority where you get stamps for each brewery visited either digitally or in a free passport book. I read there were prizes and artwork associated with each, so it made sense all of this was done out of the Visit Bend Oregon visitors center right downtown. It's easy to find, just a few blocks away from the river. They have mostly daily hours, making it convenient to drop in. If you're a first timer to the area, I recommend coming here on your first days, as they have a ton of free literature about the area including maps, activities, coupons, etc. They also have areas to sit, have pictures taken, plus advice and planning from the people who work here. I had mixed interactions with the people working here, but none were negative. Back to the Ale Trail - it's free to do, and worth your time if you're already visiting all the excellent breweries in the area. As you complete each of the seven regions, you bring in your passport and show it to receive a tasting glass and matching sticker with the key art. Once you complete all seven glasses, you get a matching wooden flight paddle! Even better, if you have a designated driver they can complete it too; but they'll earn a free branded Hydro Flask, another famous company headquartered in Bend. If you're visiting, it's worth stopping here to help plan your trip!

We came, we saw, we conquered the Bend Ale Trail. 16 breweries in three days sounds like a lot but…read moremy pretty designated driver and myself were up to the challenge. You can either grab a map at any of the participating breweries or download their app. I recommend you do both. The map as a souvenir and use the app to redeem for your rewards. The app is also very helpful in navigating the area and figuring out a course of action as you move from brewery to brewery. We of course started with the best beer in Bend at Boneyard. The Deschutes tour is another must. Crux makes some damn fine beer as well. I noticed for the most part, all the breweries in Bend are also restaurants as well. I prefer to keep my restaurants and taprooms separate so there's several breweries that I would have skipped if it weren't for the quest to visit all of them before we left town. The only negative to the whole thing was that 2 of the 16 breweries are about 20 miles away so you'll have to do some driving whether you want to or not. Since they're not in Bend, I'm not sure why they're included on the trail. Bridge 99 would have been a better choice to be included on the trail. The bottle opener and Silipint that you get from the Bend visitor's center for completing your passport are actually pretty neat and not throw away trinkets. The memories will certainly last a lifetime but it's always nice to get a little bit of schwag as well.
