The 4 stars are due to the Rosewood hotel in DC as the room looked tired and I had no hot water. I was never able to take a shower there.
And while in Iceland one evening the Northern Lights were visible and I was not awakened for it as I had instructed.

We loved the private jet experience
We loved the private jet experience - the staff on the jet is top-notch and the food is incredible (it's amazing how well the chef was able to serve perfectly-prepared fish on the plane). Seats are very comfortable and you have all the snacks and beverages you desire.
The TCS "Around the World" trip is a great way to visit many "bucket list" destinations. Note that not all of the hotels used are "luxury" accommodations, so there was some disappointment in places like Fiji and Port Douglas. But the other hotels, especially La Mamounia in Marrakech, Rambagh Palace in Jaipur and Raffles in Siem Reap were over-the-top.
Also, not very many of the airports have private terminals, so you have to clear Customs and Immigration in the regular terminals (TCS often had a separate queue).
The Expedition Staff was helpful and mostly proactive - there were just a few minor hiccups along the way. For example, the restaurant at La Mamounia does not permit guests to wear shorts, and some TCS guests were unaware of this and were unable to dine at the restaurant due to our late evening arrival and lack of immediate access to our luggage.
Prior to departure, TCS provides guests with small Tumi suitcases, packing cubes and a Tumi backpack (which wasn't as capacious as my own, so I didn't carry it). Onboard, there is a duffel bag with amenity kit, including a custom-printed water bottle.
Overall, we had an incredible time, and we were pleasantly surprised to get along so well with most of our fellow travelers.
If you can afford it, flying around the world with TCS is an unforgettable indulgence that I highly recommend.

I have done 3 trips with TCS
I have done 3 trips with TCS - 2 Private Jet Around the World trips and one, 23 day custom trip. First RTW was Four Seasons branded and it was fabulous. Not one hiccup. Custom trip was also well planned and excellent. Other RTW was quite awful. We were obviously past the worst of covid and yet 2+ year old covid protocols were instituted, several hotels were downgraded, as were the meals (from luxury dining to buffet!)

Travel off the beaten path.
TCS deserves a lot of credit for creating a trip with such unusual destinations. The Airbus isn’t as luxurious as the 757. The chef needs more logistical help. Never serve steak. It doesn’t survive precooking. Crew was excellent. Hotel choices were very good; especially in Salvador (superb food at hotel, excellent carnival viewing location, great security) and Saudi Arabia (very cool desert hotel). TCS staff were very helpful and flexible. Country itineraries were very fluid.

Ancient Crossroads and Asia with TCS
we had a great experience with TCS. The only drawback was that we were told we would be traveling on a new jet and that was not the case.. It was a 20 year old plane and we were surprised that the trip was marketed as travel on a brand new plane. Unfortunately, a few people contracted Covid and we thought the restrictions or requests that were put on the group as a whole were somewhat strong. The stops were great and the TCS team who traveled with us was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We will at some point likely take another trip w TCS in the future.

We understand your disappointment regarding the jet change on your recent trip. Although the change, due to operational issues from the pandemic, was noted in the pre-trip materials, we acknowledge that it may not have been clear to you and other guests. We understand how exciting it can be to travel on a new jet and we apologize for not meeting your expectations.
We want you to know that we will be operating all future group jet expeditions on the new Airbus A321 jet, starting at the end of this month. This change will ensure that all our guests enjoy the best possible experience during their travels with us.
We are glad that you enjoyed the stops and the TCS team. We value your feedback and again apologize.
We look forward to welcoming you back on another journey with us soon. Thank you for choosing to travel with us.

Totally appreciated the crew
Totally appreciated the crew. Professional, helpful. My disappointment was the initial delay leaving due to jet mechanical issue and then missing a destination due to additional problems. I realize those issues will come up but felt that the plane was not properly checked before the trip. I am sure that TCS feels the same.

We are sorry to hear that your trip was one of the very few that experienced a technical issue. Safety is paramount at TCS. In addition to the stringent requirements for airlines in accordance with the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), TCS has an additional third party assessment done for any airline partner we use. We can assure you that our airline partners are up to date with required and best practice maintenance checks and properly go through preflight checks for every flight. Aircraft mechanical issues still happen sometimes in spite of all the preventative work. TCS is dedicated to quickly pivoting and working through contingency plans to keep the trip on track. We are glad that the rest of your trip was a success.
