When I said we had already booked the cruise and pretty much told me she wasn't interested in my business. That she gets commission from the cruise company, so she would charge me $100 per ticket to book flights for us, so since we are 11 people, that would be $2200 in fees to her! No thanks..

I am NOT an experienced traveler. When it comes to figuring out all of the details like…read moretransportation, air travel connections, excursions, travel insurance etc, I panic at the idea of having to figure all of that out myself.

Airports stress me out, and we required international flights with connections, and one of us is partially impaired. Nanette suggested and arranged every possible consideration. Then, she did it all, all over again! After researching workable options when we had to cancel a cruise out of San Juan. Nanette got Viking to wave penalties and kick us $600 of onboard credit for our Mediterranean Cruise. Hotel room specifications, pre-arranged personal guides for the Vatican and in Venice with personal water taxi for a day! All the things that really made our trip special, (and stress-free).

We were slightly hesitant, as we had never traveled with any type of group before - I usually take care of travel planning and details myself. But this promised to be a unique experience and it surely was. Tim and Jessie took such good care of us that I'll probably be spoiled for life. We were able to relax and soak up the incredibly amazing experience for the entire 8 days. The local guides were also remarkable: knowledgeable, thoughtful, big-hearted and sensitive. In no way was this your ordinary tour experience. We look forward to future trips with Spirit Tours and I wholeheartedly recommend them for a special, unforgettable travel experience! --Mitsi

We hired HMS Travel Agency to book our honeymoon to Fiji. We were not advised by our travel agent…read morethat restaurant options did not exist, our only option for meals was the resort restaurant. We spent over $1200 US on food alone during our nine day stay. We were advised this particular resort was a very popular honeymoon resort. We also were not made aware of the fact that our honeymoon stay coincided with an Australian holiday and the resort was overrun by families with screaming children. How could a competent travel agent not know about such holidays and bookings? To top this entire fiasco off, I contacted HMS when we returned to voice my concerns. The president of the company was impolite during our conversation; however, stating I did have valid points. He yelled, inturrupted, and talked over be to defend his company. I am in the hospitality industry as well and have never experienced such poor customer service. Travelers beware!

I have been reluctant to give this review. I was hoping that after numerous texts and requests, to…read morethe staff and owner that I would receive at least a response. None was given. I wanted to work things out. I have kept a record of all the ignored and unanswered requests via email and text. Now that they have all my money and their helicopter is broken, there's no reason to be nice to me anymore. It wasn't about the training. It was all about just getting as much money out of me as possible. I have a log of all the flights over the homes that filed a noise complaint lawsuit against Helico. I was given the names of complaintants, TIM WINKLER, JOE and FRANK. There were some pretty negative comments by Helico staff as we passed over their homes. I spent close to forty thousand dollars and three years of my time studying to get my PPL. Private pilot's license. Helico promised to help me. That was a lie. They just wanted to suck me dry of money. I have been asking for 3 years for the Helico course outline & study, it's called the syllabyss. I recently texted Helico manager Karilee (September/October 2024) requesting a course syllabus, and she completely ignored me. I asked again. She sent me a text asking me "why I'm so pushy?" It's a joke the way Helico is managed. Maybe I dodge a bullet. The 2007 Robinson R44 Raven ll helicopter N557SM was definitely on its last leg. It had close to 4400 hours. It leaked a quart of oil every time we went out. Some instruments did not work. It was not burning the oil. It was leaking it everywhere. So we would just add another quart of oil every time before we went up for a flight. This is in the flight log book. Plus, there is a huge oil stain on the tarmac under the helicopter. This is the same helicopter that they were renting out to take people on tours. N557SM. I am not a mechanic, but I feel this helicopter was pretty well worn out. That is why it's going to be torn down and out of service for the next year. You could not even store gear in the storage departments under the rear seats because they were full of oil that was leaking through the firewall. They put diaper like material in there to absorb the oil. It was bad. I put squawks in the log book that I thought the oil use was excessive, but it was ignored. The exhaust pipe to the muffler had a burn through it. I mentioned that to my CFI Ryan Wax. I showed it to him. He said, "Don't worry about it, I don't think it matters." He can not make that call because he is not a certified aircraft mechanic. I believe FAA rules a mechanic must make that determination. I had another instructor take me up while he was hung over from drinking excessively the night before. He told me so. He said he had a really bad headache and did not get much sleep. Another FAA violation. He was fired later. Another instructor asked me if I wanted to do "zoomies". I had never heard of that before. We proceeded to do high-speed stunts. I have a video. The list just goes on and on and on. I don't know why it was like this, but we're going to get to the bottom of it. I am filing an FAA complaint. More to come.

This depot was used as a backdrop in Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt and is now a Visitor's Center! I am pinching myself that I have not stepped inside sooner than today (though I have taken photos outside on the wagon years ago and dined out in Railroad Square many times). Well, today is the day! What a cute little visitor's center with tons of brochures, magazines, pamphlets on many wine country attractions. There is a cute little gift shop that is scattered throughout visitor's center from Snoopy merchandise to Visit Santa Rosa gifts. In the other room contains the Northwestern Pacific train museum with old photos and artifacts you can explore. A recommended stop whether you are a tourist or a local! Even though I have lived in Santa Rosa for 12 years now, I wish I came in sooner given that I love Santa Rosa history, Snoopy, Trains and just old historic buildings. Check it out!
