She put me with a roommate who attacked me in the middle of the night. Would never go again! This was when she first started, so the date of experience would not let me go back that far fyi. I think she should have refunded my money!

We have been in business for over 15 years and I have no record of you ever traveling with us or booking any trips with us. This is a false review! And no one has ever attacked anyone on any of our trips.

I have travelled with them in the past and it was great when arranged by the previous owner. Unfortunately, she passed away and the current owner has done a terrible job. A New Years eve celebration trip was not hosted at the advertised venue. Instead, a horrible place with no air conditioning in Africa! The actual New Years eve events were cancelled we were told when they were not. Just held at the advertised original facility. Bait and switch. Never again.

If I can give it zero stars, I would. This is WORST Single Travel. This is my second vacation and I've had problems with both trips. The only reason I am traveling on this second trip because I had already booked it (before I came home from taking the first trip) and I knew Nicole would not refund me. I am in agreement with so many of the customers who have written reviews. Nicole does not care about customers or their well being. She instead blames us and states that this is what we signed up for. I signed up for a vacation that included 4 star hotels that would be stress free. I did not sign up for hotels that don't have restaurants, room service, food that made us sick, broken AC, stale and stinky rooms, hotels that don't provide amenities (which true 4 star hotels would provide), hotels that are in a shady location, and hotels whose staff could less about resolving the issues professionally. Nicole does not respond in a timely manner and makes excuses for her actions. We sat in a hotel lobby for 4 hours so that the AC can be fixed. A decent business owner would show concern when they are told by their customers that all 3 got sick from the breakfast buffet at a "4-star hotel". This is the last time I will give my hard earned money to Nicole who doesn't care about providing good customer service. Vacations with this agency are full of problems especially during the trip when we should be relaxing and enjoying ourselves. I have never been treated so poorly by a travel agent and never had such experiences with any travel agency. Nicole needs to learn how to treat people with respect and understanding. Otherwise she needs to get out of this line of work. Pay attention to all these reviews and don't book with this agency. One more thing...if you for whatever reason decide to book through this agency make sure you are getting what you paid for. Based on the itinerary online on their website the cost of the trip includes 4 dinners and one lunch. I thought I was paying for 4 dinners and 1 lunch in the cost of the trip. Less than two weeks before the trip when she had my money she decided to change the itinerary so that the cost of the trip only includes 3 dinners instead of the 4 and one lunch. Nicole took my money for 4 dinners and 1 lunch but only gave me 3 dinners. This may not be a big deal but if an itinerary is changed to where you are not getting some of the things you already paid for you, you should be refunded. In my last trip the itinerary I paid for was changed 2 weeks before the trip where one of the major sightseeing places was removed. I was told that the online itinerary was incorrect because they had not updated it. How is that my fault?? The cost I paid included an excursion but I didn't get what I paid for because the excursion was removed. This is not ethical. Maybe that's why Nicole doesn't send the final itinerary until the last minute...so that she can make changes to the original itinerary, take things away that were paid for, hope that we don't notice it or it's too late to correct it. And let me add this…Lynn you were quick to respond to Lori’s review but Nicole was not responding to our request for hours. Doesn’t matter if you are closed on Labor Day. Any travel agency would have someone available at any time for issues such as these. Tour guides and managers don’t have the authority or capability to address all issues. It is the responsibility of the travel agent to make sure help is available from an agency agent in United States. After waiting for 4 hours to resolve hotel issue, do you really expect us to move to another hotel at 9 pm??? Also not you or Nicole have been in the hotels you put us in. You are merely going off websites for reviews. How about believing your guests who are actually there? Also SIMMs hotel did say they have room service on their website. I have the screenshot. Instead of accepting the wrongs you have done, both you and Nicole get defensive and blame guests. What a great way to do business. And maybe you have been in business for 15 years but that was when Sheryl ran it. Now that Nicole is running it I doubt it will last another 15 years unless Nicole learns how to be a better agent by being professional and changing her attitude and her approaches with clients.

First of all, let me start by saying that everyone is entitled to their own opinion! We have used this hotel in the past and never had this kind of negativity from any of our clients. When Nicole received Lori and your messages, she immediately reached out to Karolyn to discuss your issues. The Simms Hotel is a 4 star hotel with breakfast daily. We were told that the a/c was working, but not up to your standards. It does not state on their website that they have room service. Anyone reading this can check for themselves: https://www.simmshotel.at/de . They have a rating of 4.6/5 with hundreds of reviews. The Itinerary was never changed! Here is what was included in your tour: Eastern Europe Singles Vacation Dates: September 1 - 10, 2023 Price: $2,795* Singles Vacation Includes * 9 Nights Accommodations * Breakfast Daily - 2 Dinners * English Speaking Travel Leader * Guided Tours, Admissions and Activities per itinerary * Private Transportation * Airport/Hotel Transfers on Tour Dates * All Taxes and Surcharges *The price per person is for a double room. Best Single Travel provides free roommate matching on all our vacations, so there is never a need to pay a "single supplement". If you wish to room alone it is an additional $890 Not Included * International Airfare * Tips for guide and driver ($135 collected on first day) When the itinerary states: Tonight enjoy dinner at a restaurant in the sunny vineyards of Vienna. - these are not included in the price of the tour. It clearly states on the bottom of each trip, exactly what is included. Therefore, no one is trying to dupe you. Nicole is extremely professional and excellent at what she does. Best Single Travel will be around for a very long time - making Single Traveler's Dreams Come True!

I am stuck in a hotel in Venice Austria with no food no A/C. We have all tried to get ahold Nichole for help in resolving the problem. 2.5 hours with multiple calls, emails and texts, including from our guide. She finally called me and said too bad, that is what I signed up for. Never asked if we are ok from all of getting ill from the breakfast at the previous hotel. Nothing. So unprofessional. I travel over 100 thousand miles a year. Things happen, but you don't say too bad and abandon everyone. I have heat rash now and am flying home 5 days early as I fear it will continue to get worse . Go with any other agency. Save yourself. I am calling the BBB next. Shame on you Nichole. Please get your story straight. Someone else was too tired to move after a 14 hour day at that point and it would have taken another w hours to move. ALL of us are unhappy and can prove you changed the trip details. You should check the hotels before you put someone there, not just their website that is inaccurate currently. I am choosing to leave because it keeps getting worse . Not interested in a sub standard vacation . Wish I had read the yelp reviews before I booked this. 😪

I will respond here, the same that I have on all the other review sites that you are posting on: Lori, we are truly sorry that you are not satisfied! Today is Labor Day and our office is currently closed. After Nicole saw your messages, she reached out to you and the hostess immediately. The Simm's Hotel in Vienna is a 4 star hotel and has a rating of 4.6/5. Their website states that they offer breakfast daily - which you get - not a restaurant. Our hostess offered to take everyone to a restaurant, but you did not want to leave to the hotel. Nor does it state that there is room service. Nicole never said 'too bad' to you about your situation. You told her that you "had 2 businesses and that she is very inexperienced". You said that she better take care of your issues or you will be contacting your attorney. When she tried to talk to you - you hung up on her! I was a witness to your tantrum. We were told that a technician was going to all of your rooms to check on the a/c, but that everything was working properly. But the hotel was going to send someone to look any way. When Nicole was able to get to her computer, she made arrangements for everyone to stay at a nearby Hilton Hotel, since the hotel rooms were too warm for you, Only to find out that you were too tired to move to the other hotel. The Hilton Hotel was only minutes away from you. Best Single Travel has been in business for over 15 years and we have made thousands of people happy! You stated that you will be going home tomorrow - that is your decision. All of the hotels are listed on our Website and NOTHING within your tour was changed. We have used this hotel in the past and never had an issue with them before. We are sorry that you decided to leave the tour early, but we will not be responsible for your flight or the remainder of your trip that you will be missing. She is doing her best to accommodate you and the other ladies on your trip - but it seems that you are just looking to write bad reviews!!! Lynn - Customer Service Manager
D Dahlia from E Bay S.
Did St Augustine, Niagara Falls and Banff all in one yr. Tourism was already open after COVID. All 3 were the same tour guide. She claims to have 9 yrs experience, but it was so disorganized, not on schedule and was very in-your-face about being social with the group. Took candid, horrid pictures and shared them with the group. And will ask how come you weren't smiling on this photo... okay...Got everyone's email address, phone numbers and d.o.b. on a pc of paper and asked everyone to verify your private info for everyone to see. Not doing them again! When i made complaints to Sheryl, the owner, her response was, she'll remove me from the email list. (LOL)

I just returned from a 10 day 9 port cruise offered through Best Single Travel. The trip/ports were wonderful and the people I met were great. The praise stops there. Three days prior to leaving the US, we received our final itinerary which was vague enough to allow for last minute changes. Most ports were unguided walking tours. Ultimately the promised private locally guided tours were primarily hop on/hop off busses, local or taxi transportation, and a lot of walking....including a few 30 minute walks to meet our local 2-3 hour walking tour guide. One guided tour was in fact a free chamber of commerce tour with 40 others from our ship. (The tour/guide was great, however we paid for private tours...where did that money go?). Myself and most of the others on this trip were actually traveling on credit from prior covid cancelations....it certainly felt like we got the cheap tours because the money was already spent....However, based on other reviews (on other sites), it seems that wasn't the case, but rather how this company operates. NCL is an awsome cruise line that caters to solo travelers....so next time, book solo and take part in the ships excursions!

Disgusting. Beware of this company. False advertising. They advertised a cabin on a cruise with “only 4 cabins left” “best price guarantee” and listed the cabin prices. I booked a cabin at what I assumed was a sale price. A few days later they stated the cabin was actually twice the price and I had to pay double or find a different tour. I have been advised that this is a classic Bait and Switch scam. I feel swindled and very annoyed. Apparently they “made a mistake” but there was no decency involved, just a demand for double or nothing. I reached out over WhatsApp and the company representative was so rude! Honestly do not book with them. They’re either scammers or incompetent and when something needs sorting, oh I tell you what, they are so rude to their customer. I’ll never consider travel with this company.

Gretta booked through a 3rd party not directly with Best Single Travel. This 3rd party had the wrong price on their website, something we could not honor. The price was off by $4000 for a single oceanview cabin. Gretta has been to the Best Single Travel website and had to have seen the correct price - as we already have 13 people booked at these prices. The 3rd party took her deposit (which Best Single Travel never received) and we explained that it was a mistake on their website and she can either book at the new price or cancel her booking. She decided to cancel and the 3rd party company has refunded her money. We apologized and tried to explain this to Gretta but as you can see she is still unhappy and threatened to write bad reviews everywhere.
