I stumbled upon this Fall Foliage train tour after planning a trip from Virginia to Vermont for my…read morehusband's birthday. It was our first time in Vermont, and we were very much looking forward to a romantic, slow weekend. The train tour seemed like something we'd really like. I actually very much enjoyed the ride. We came a little early in the year (the 1st day of fall), so the fall foliage wasn't completely changed over yet, but we still saw some great views. I purchased the tickets online. They offer a variety of tours and 2 different locations for the fall foliage tour. You can either choose a 1 hour trip to Rockingham, which is the tour we chose. Or you can choose a 2 hour trip to Ludlow. From my understanding, Ludlow is more town views and Rockingham is more mountain views. It was $25 per person for our tour. This does not include beverages or a meal; it is simply a train ride. Country Girl Diner was available on board should snacks or beverages interest you for an additional fee. They do offer dinner rides, which did not interest us. We were scheduled to leave at 3:30pm and arrived about 15 minutes prior to boarding. There wasn't any directions on where to stand when we arrived; some folks were waiting on one side of the building, and some on the other...a few inside. So I asked a gentleman, who looked as though he might be staff, and he told me where we'd be boarding. It would've been nice if someone was there that gave directions to all of us, so people wouldn't seem to be confused on where they need to be. I assume that that is his job, but instead he just stood around awaiting for the train with everyone. Once the train arrived, he walked over and threw down a stepping stool and we all started following him. We did not have to print off our tickets; we simply screenshot the tickets for them to see before boarding. It was open seating. We chose a seat facing the opposite direction of the depot, which proved to have the better views. The conductor does slow down for photos of a few of the sites (like a covered bridge), but overall, he does go fast and like several reviews mentioned, there is a lot of brush and not much to see. What we did see was very nice, but I would highly recommend that they slow it down for the majority of the trip rather than the other way around. The conductor did give a little information about what we were seeing over the intercom. I think I enjoyed this activity a lot more than my husband; and maybe more than many others who've been on it. I didn't expect much from it; it was a nice leisurely, simple ride through Vermont. I do feel like the tickets should have been about half of what they cost, due to the little you get to see. The train will go one direction a half hour up, and come back the same direction a half hour back. If you don't expect too much from the trip, you will be satisfied with the ride.

This is a…read morelovely way to spend 3 hours in Vermont with an excellent meal, scenic views, a lovely lakeside journey, and some railroad history. Drinks were not included but surprisingly reasonably priced. Pro Tip: Arrive early for a lakeside seat. Dinner includes a salad, your choice of half a dozen entrees, and a choice of strawberry trifle or flourless chocolate cake for dessert. I had the sirlion au poivre, which was cooked nicely, but perhaps a little heavy on the pepper, and RL had the filet of sole stuffed with scallop and crab. I could see the vegetarian lasagne at the next table, and it also looked wonderful. Large portions all round. Service was very friendly. And the sunset views across the lake were wonderful.

Our first one…read morewas the "Buenos Aires" private tour, and this second one was the "Three Jewels: Buenos Aires, Iguazu, and Rio" May-June. I appreciate that A&R was accommodating with our request to replace Buenos Aires with Montevideo and to add a rolling bed in Montevideo's hotel for my daughter. We also requested a driver to take us to the city of Trinidad and back to Montevideo. The drivers and tour guides in each of the cities were very professional and knowledgeable and very punctual when picking us up. The cars/mini vans were clean and comfortable. Our package included flights from Montevideo to Iguazu and Rio. When the first leg of our flight from Montevideo to Buenos Aires was canceled, A&R booked an earlier flight for us and was also able to move up the Buenos Aires to Iguazu flight so we were not in the Buenos Aires airport for 6 hours; thus, we arrived in Iguazu around 1:00 pm and had a whole afternoon free to visit the Argentinean side of the falls. I appreciate their diligence in finding flights for us and taking care of all the arrangements. What I like most about A&R is their choice of hotels. It's first class and centrally located. The Hotel Alvear in Buenos Aires and the Belmond das Cataratas inside the Iguazu National Park were outstanding with excellent service and dining options. In Iguazu, the room had a view of the falls, and in Rio's Belmond Copacabana Palace, the suite had a view of the Copacabana beach. We plan to book again with A&R soon for their exceptional accommodation and excellent service!

We wanted to book a tour to Italy. We looked at the company brochure, which advertised a 7 day…read moreItaly by train tour - starting at $1799 per person. What they didn't say up front was this was the off-season price. Our tour would cost $2299 because it was in the third week of September. My husband and I decided we would still like to go on the trip and would pay the additional cost. Next, we found out that this doesn't include the cost of transfers. What kind of tour doesn't include the cost of transfers? We were informed this would be an additional $500 per person, which we still agreed to. We told our representative from AAA to go ahead and arrange it. She called us back one day later and told us the hotels the company used were no longer available. We would have to "upgrade" our hotel to the tune of an additional $1100. In other words, we would be paying more than the highest rate advertised in their brochure. If we were buying a car this technique would be called bait and switch, and it's illegal. We're so disappointed.

A few of my favorite buildings were, the NH State House, Clock Tower, and NH State Library. Franklin Pierce, the 14th president of the US had a home there.
