Your Man Tours

Pros: Costa Lines Ship Mediterranea was wonderful, the food was excellent, and the service first-rate.
Cons: YMT service in USA and ITALY are non-existent, accommodations and meals were poor, attitude arrogant.

In February of 2006, my wife and I booked a "DELUXE" 16 day land & sea cruise through YMT from Italy to Port Everglades. The warning flags went up when they demanded immediate payment by Certified Check or Wire Transfer. After several phone calls and ...

Pros: Holland America was Outstanding.
Cons: YMT does not care about service to their customers.

STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY FROM YOUR MAN TOURS!!!! We took the Alaska Cruise and Northwestern United States tour and we were VERY disappointed, disgusted and annoyed with YMT. From the beginning, Your Man Tours did not live up to our expectations ...

Pros: Misery loves company and we met some new friends.
Cons: Transportation, accomodation, communication, organizing and planning, customer service

We have just returned from a Your Man Tours vacation to San Francisco, Los Angeles and a Mexican cruise (Oct 7 - 23/06). To list all the deficiencies and unpleasant situations that occured during this trip would use up this entire space, so suffice it ...

Pros: We bonded with some other folks also enduring this "tour."
Cons: No guide, poor motels, fast-food restaurants, no or limited "tour" time, unhelpful bus driver

My elderly parents and I just returned from the Your Man Tours Alaska cruise/northwest bus tour. What a disaster! My parents are an elderly/retired couple who booked this tour based on advertising by their favorite local radio personalities. The ...

Pros: An extensive tour that visited all of the places that I had not seen.
Cons: Not senior friendly. Questionable motels. Questionable tour buses. Not as advertised.

This appeared to be a senior friendly, and economical tour. All the places listed to be visited on the tour info received and online were, in fact, not visited. We did not visit Hoover Dam, the Chocolate Factory, and we had no tour of Las Vegas. ...

Pros: Price, Cities visited, Luggage handling, knowledgeable Guides
Cons: Hotels are mid class

My Wife and I took YMT's Golden West tour which included Los Angeles,Hollywood tour, The Breathtaking Coastline of California, San Francisco, Spectacular Las Vegas. What we found so great about this tour is that YMT gives you time on your own at each ...

Pros: none
Cons: Customer Service very bad. Would never trust my clients vacation with them.

I am a travel agent and had a request for YMTs recently and never again. Just trying to book was a nightmare. It was always a voice mail (hard to get them to return calls) or a recording saying they were unable to take a call then hung up. I verified ...

Pros: Holland America Cruise Lines
Cons: The YMT experience

What they promise is NOT what you get. The accomodations on the bus tour from Salt Lake City to Vancover were so low class. They told us 3 star or better, well, I don't know what they consider 3 star, but when we go into hotels and they have bed bugs, ...

Pros: Value was there - we had an outstanding driver/tour guide - Thomas.
Cons: Too many traveling together (150) - Closer accommodations

We just completed this trip on July 12, 2008. I would recommend this trip; however, there are a few improvements that could be made, as with everything in travel. One of the major things was that there were 150 people traveling in three buses - which ...

Pros: The tours they took us on were great
Cons: Worst hotels I have ever been in. Run down, no amenities, located in bad areas.

One of the hotels was old and run down and dirty. The others are owned by a Hawaiian family and are completely without any anemities. YMT were always given the worst rooms. Overlooking the garbage area or down in the basement area (smelly rooms), looking...

Pros: Two tours were scenic and the bus drivers were good.
Cons: Your man tours has poor customer service.

The most disappointing vacation ever. The hotels were on the wrong side of the islands and thus nothing to see or do. Restaurants were few and many were fast food or low class. The hotels were old, moldy, mildew, dirty and no view. The airline seats ...

Pros: Value, fun people, great scenery, great memories
Cons: Some grumpy and unreasonable traveling companions, fast itinerary

After doing the Alaska tour, there are four adages that come to mind when reading these other reviews: 1) you get what you pay for, 2) read the fine print, 3) the trip is what you make of it, and 4) more people will talk about their bad experiences than ...

Pros: Good cruise.  Yellowstone National Park was great!
Cons: No real tour.  Cheap or poorly located hotels.  Lack-luster stops.  Unresponsive tour company.

In spite of reading horror stories about this tour company, I booked a tour with them because the trip was advertized on WOKV by Belinda Skelton, a radio celebrity with the Neal Boortz radio show.  The trip was a combination cruise and land ...

Pros: Inexpensive, good service, friendly bus drivers, great customer service before we left
Cons: Sat in back of plane, could not choose airline,

We just returned from a Your Man Tours Hawaii trip.  It was not deluxe but the hotels were good, clean and the escorts were wonderful.  We wanted a budget vacation and found a good dollar value and had a wonderful time and saw everything we wanted to.  It was a trip of a lifetime and well worth the money.  When I read other comments about YMT that are negative I just wonder if some people expect more than they are willing to pay for and are unrealistic.  We did not spend much time in our hotels so used the savings to plan for our next trip.  Hats off to YMT to make a big trip like this affordable to us. 

Pros: Costa Magica great, Rome wonderful, Italy City tours good choice.
Cons: Lack of interest from Your Man Tours staff after final payment. Incorrect information.

2006 Land/Cruise Italy. Great itinerary but marred lack of important documentation and tour details.
There were 400 plus unhappy travelers on this trip. Your Man Tours never took control, everything delegated so when things went wrong they blamed the nearest.
Next time I will book direct with Costa Cruise Line and Italy hotels, never again with Your Man Tours.
