" Fantastic Tours with Great Tour Guides "…read more My wife and I stayed in Spokane Washington last week for two days at the gorgeous Davenport Hotel. On both days we took different city tours conducted by Group Coordinators, located in Spokane Washington at 7424 N Lidgerwood St. Our first tour we took was the " Spokane City Tour Past & Present ", where Group Coordinators, Inc. Tour Guide Janna Juday, lead our group on a wonderful, historical, and very informative tour about Spokane's colorful and rich history. We toured the city viewing and learning about Spokane's historic homes and attractions. Janna always had a beautiful young and bubbly smile on her face, as she answered everybody's questions in detail and spoke very clearly, as she guided the tour bus on a 3 hour tour the city of Spokane. We saw the Spokane River where the grounds of the former 1974 World Expo. are located. We also viewed historical Riverfront Park, Spokane Falls, Manito Park, Saint John's Cathedral, Steam Plant Towers, Japanese Gardens, and flower-filled Gaiser Conservatory and more. We also ascended up " The Hill ", where we saw panoramic views of the city and stunning mansions. We finished the tour by walking through Bing Crosby House, and viewing his memorabilia, on the campus of Gonzaga University. The next day my wife and I took the 2 1/2 hour " Downtown Walking Tour, For the Gourmet ". The tour was lead by Jan Juday, the mother of the guide we had the previous day Janna Juday. Jan led our group on a guided walking tour of the historic Davenport Arts District, where she combined art and history and brought in gourmet foods and wine tastings, at several restaurants and wineries. Jan told us stories about the history of the city of Spokane in the late 1800's and early 1900's, including the Great Fire of 1889 that leveled 32 square blocks of downtown Spokane. Jan's historical knowledge, and her detailed presentation of the city of Spokane was Fantastic ! My wife and I were in the Education profession for 35 years before we retired, and have lead 100's of student and adult historic educational tours around the United States. I can tell you that Jan and Janna Juday, the Mother and Daughter tour guides who work for Group Coordinators, are two of the very best I have ever witnessed. If you want to learn the history of the city of Spokane Washington, call Group Coordinators, Inc. at 1-509-455-4354 and ask for either Jan or Janna Juday for your tour guides, you will not be disappointed.

It was a dream trip for both of us. It was a pleasure to work with you. The prospect of traveling alone with a young teen was daunting, but you took away the anxiety and made it joyous.

Not only does she find the most perfect hotels, close to points of interest, but also unique gems that in themselves are interesting. Sara closely listens to the interests of my family, and by now knows our preferences and tailors each trip to maximize our itinerary but in an organized, non-hectic manner. She also plans fun activities, such as a cooking class in Greece, and a private boat cruise in Paris on the Seine. We enjoy the private tours she arranges with knowledgeable, interesting and engaging guides. Never been disappointed! One especially fun tour was a tour in Milos, Greece where we visited several different restaurants, an appetizer, a main course, a dessert, a snack...etc in different parts of the island. One of features of her tours which offers me the greatest worry free comfort is the pre-arranged transportation. We know we'll be met by a driver for all activities. The app provided for our phone provides ticket numbers, check in verification, emergency numbers...invaluable. We are planning 2023 trip with her now for Prague and Vienna! Highly recommend for an amazing experience!

A Pocket Full of Paddling Adventure…read more Many of the guide-led trips offered by Sea Kayak Adventures feature tent camping in British Columbia or along the coast of Baja California - which, of course, is a great way to sample all that a place of natural wonders has to offer. But there's also something to be said for a daily adventure that ends with a gourmet meal and the warmth of a comfortable bed. Hence, the allure of the trip they offer to God's Pocket Provincial Marine Park off the northern coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia. It combines daily guided trips to the islands and along the shorelines of B.C. with the comfort of evenings at the God's Pocket Resort owned and operated by Bill Weeks and Annie Ceschi. It was Bill and our two Sea Kayak Adventures guides, Serina and Ellie, who greeted us at the outset of our adventure, on the boat dock in Port Hardy, at the northern tip of Vancouver Island. There were eight of us signed up for the trip, and we quickly got acquainted during the 20-minute ride on Bill's water taxi and scuba dive boat to God's Pocket. The seven others on the trip included two physicians, a college professor, a research physicist and a hotelier, with the group ranging in age from mid-30s to early-70s. All of us had sea kayaked before, but for several this would be the first multi-day experience, and the 70-year-old worried about keeping up. However, as the week progressed, we learned to trust the efficiencies of tandem kayaks as well as the good planning and good pairing of our attentive guides. Ultimately, we all seemed to get the level of outdoor adventure we sought. As soon as the cabins of God's Pocket came into view, we knew this would be a special week. Tucked snug against a hillside and into a sheltered cove, the resort projects a homey charm that became more evident once we unloaded our gear and assembled around the fire ring built into the long deck that connects a row of wood-paneled rooms. After meeting the only other permanent residents of the island - Annie, our chef Shona and an exuberantly affectionate black Lab named Lewis - we took a quick tour of the lodge. The cabins are comfortable, cozy, devoid of ostentation - perfect for a place that exudes a wilderness feel. The isolation of God's Pocket remains its most enticing feature. Often the only sounds to be heard are the calls of eagles and ravens overhead and the Pacific lapping at the pilings below. Our breakfasts and dinners were served family style in a dining room just below Bill and Annie's quarters, as we planned the day's excursion in the morning and then deconstructed it later that evening. The food was never short of outstaning, emphasizing local favorites such as salmon and halibut as well as desserts such as lemon cake with fresh strawberries and pecan pie. The only other guests we saw during the week were a pair of scuba enthusiasts from England who had come to dive in nearby Browning Pass, an area known for offering some of the best cold-water diving in the world. All of our exploring would be at surface level, but we felt as if our experience was just as deep. Our pattern was to paddle several hours in the morning, enjoying the scenery and each other's company en route to a secluded spot, at which we would nosh on a lunch prepared by Shona and packed by Ellie and Serina. One of the joys of lodge-based exploring is not having to pack and unpack loads of camping gear each day. After lunch, we would paddle home in our sleek fiberglass boats, stopping to see petroglyphs or natural wonders along the way and arriving just in time for wine and cheese around the hot tub each evening. Our day trips yielded many highlights. One morning we paddled through waters teeming with moon jellies, whose fluid movements seemed choreographed to unheard music. On another, a pocket of fog accentuated the playful streak in an otter, who popped up where we least expected, clearly winning a game of aquatic hide and seek. And always there were the bald eagles, soaring majestically in numbers none of us had expected. During an afternoon paddle, we reached 67 before giving up on our quest to count all that we saw. It felt like they were our constant aerial companions, eager to join us on each of our journeys. By the time departure day arrived, we appreciated all the local lore and paddling expertise our guides had imparted. We had dipped a paddle into the wild Northwest and enjoyed a multitude of flavorful moments.

Have I been through Spokane? Yep. Several times. Do I know anything about it? No!…read more So when I was in Spokane for a recent conference, I was excited to try out Savor Spokane. My co-worker and I were very impressed with our experience. Savor Spokane really seemed to "get" how to handle logistics. They came armed with umbrellas and several tour guides, so that they could divide our huge group into smaller, more intimate groups. Even more impressive, they were able to deploy these groups across the city with an almost military precision, successfully operating a 5-restaurant rotation. Every group had the time (and the space) to properly experience each venue before moving on. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the restaurants/venues were fun. Our favorites were Fire Artisan Pizza (oh, the date/gorgonzola pizza!) and Patit Creek Cellars (oh, the Cambozola!). Steam Plant was okay, as was O'Doherty's. Soulful Soups was surprisingly good. But what was best was the chance to walk around an unfamiliar city, getting to know the other tour participants. If you're in town for a conference, or as a tourist, I recommend giving a Savor Spokane food tour a try.
