Was a great trip to Cedar Key Seafood
Festival. Richard was very professional and did an amazing job. Would use them again.
Response from Happening Travel ClubAug 20, 2026
We're glad the Cedar Key Seafood Festival turned out to be such a great day for you. Richard will be happy to know that his professionalism and attention to the group stood out. It's always rewarding when a traveler finishes a trip already thinking about the next one. We appreciate you joining us and look forward to having you back on the road with us again!

Not Impresed
Too many people in a small space.
Food was subpar.
Too many extras charged.
No complimentary anything.
Specialty restaurants not good.
I would never travel on MSC again.

Hi Shirley,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your cruise with MSC did not meet your expectations. We understand it can be frustrating when certain aspects don’t feel up to par.
Just to clarify, MSC operated the cruise itself while we assisted with your booking. Many of our travelers have had very positive experiences with MSC, especially appreciating their modern ships and great value. That said, we know every traveler has different preferences, and your comments are helpful as we guide guests toward the cruise line and style that best suits them.

Are yoh kidding me? Trip cancelled?
We paid for tickets and tours for the October 2025 Italy trip and were just told your canceling the trip. And you kidding me? This is bull. What kind of company is this?
Response from Happening Travel ClubJul 23, 2025
We apologize that the group itinerary was cancelled, but we are excited to be able to work with you to create an amazing journey through Italy! Rest assured that you will still have a memorable vacation, even if we were unable to follow the original group plans.

BETTER OFF SKIPPING THE CLUB
Not really a "Travel Agent" in the traditional sense, as they totally don't provide much in the way of true customer service. There were many hiccups from start to finish, which ended up costing us a lot more money & aggravation/frustration/stress in the long run, which is NOT how you want to remember a vacation!

Hi Mr. Pazos,
Thank you for your feedback. We're genuinely sorry your experience didn’t meet your expectations, but we do want to provide some important context.
First, we are not a traditional travel agency — we're a nonprofit travel club. That means our goal isn't profit, but delivering an educational experience and incredible value to our members. This trip included full sightseeing, a cruise, all ground transfers, and more for an average per diem of just $92 including all taxes and fees — something no traditional agency could offer.
Regarding the issue with your missed train: the delay was due to MSC’s cruise arriving late and disembarking at a completely different pier — on a weekend, when our offices were officially closed. Even so, our team stepped in, communicated with you in real time, and helped you navigate the situation. If we hadn’t, you would have missed all your onward transfers and potentially the rest of your Spain stay. Thanks to our intervention, you were able to rejoin the group in Barcelona and continue enjoying the trip.
We communicated extensively with you and all our guests throughout the journey. While we're sorry the experience didn’t align with your personal expectations, we want to be clear: we worked very hard to support you during a situation that was completely outside our control.
We’ll continue learning and improving, but we stand by the care and service our nonprofit team provided.
Best regards,
Happening Travel Club Team

Del Webb Macon Cherry Blossom Excursion
Al, our tour guide, shared a wealth of info throughout our 4 days on this excursion. We had stops for lunch at unique restaurants both on way and return. Friday evening Taste of Macon served unique drinks and small bites. The Saturday historical and Cherry Blossom Trail tour led by a docent was outstanding . One of the highlights was a surprise visit on Sunday to the Whistlestop cafe of Fried Green Tomatoes fame. Al and Rich set up chairs on parade route for us, thoughtfully on the shady side of the street. They were amazing hosts and took care of us every step of the way. I have to say the parade was small town but participants were enthusiastic and the cherry trees were in peak form. Happening Travel was accommodating in every way possible

Hi Shirley,
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the Macon Cherry Blossom Tour. 🌸 Al and Richard will be so happy to know their efforts made the experience so special—from the unique lunch stops to the thoughtful seating for the parade.
It’s moments like the surprise visit to the Whistlestop Café and the Taste of Macon evening that make our trips truly memorable, and we’re so glad you were part of it.
We can’t wait to see you again in 2026 for the Savannah St. Patrick’s Day celebration—it’s going to be another fantastic time together!

Our guides were so awesome!
Our guides were so awesome—truly made our travel experience special. Added interesting bonus aspects to our Macon GA Cherry blossom festival that were unexpected, but greatly appreciated. Can’t wait to travel again with Happening Travel in March to Savannah! Our group of friends had a great time!

I think your pricing is amazing
I think your pricing is amazing. However, on my trip last year, you over promised and did not deliver in Medellin.
Response from Happening Travel ClubMay 29, 2025
Thank you so much for your feedback. We truly appreciate your kind words about our pricing—it’s something we work hard to keep affordable while still offering memorable experiences.
We’re very sorry to hear that your experience in Medellín didn’t meet expectations. That’s never the standard we aim for, and we’d love to learn more about what specifically fell short so we can improve for future trips. Please feel free to reach out directly—we value your perspective and hope to have the opportunity to earn back your trust on a future journey.
