Amazing Journeys

My first trip with Amazing Journeys was on their Mediterranean Cruise is past July. For those of us who are a filled with questions before the trip, their office was always at the ready via phone or email to pleasantly and eagerly not only answer questions, but also allay any concerns. This boosted my confidence in Amazing Journeys even before the trip began. The special, little touches began before the trip as well. When we received the necessary paperwork in the mail, along with it came our first treat.
Malorie’s planning is so professional with attention to every detail. Want a few nights in the departure city? They’ve got that covered. Don’t want the hassle of finding transportation from the airport to the cruise ship in a foreign country? No problem, just reserve the transportation in advance on Amazing Journeys reservation form. Speaking of which, not only were there multiple choices of group excursions in each port, the prices for the excursions were reasonable. I checked out all of Celebrity’s excursions for a price comparison, and the prices I paid to travel with AJs excursions were fair. Some of the excursions were custom made for AJ, and that made them more special. Hiking from Fira to Oia on the Greek Isle of Santorini was my most unforgettable venture of the trip. The tour guide said the hikes weren’t usually scheduled in July because it could get too hot. It was scheduled special for Amazing Journeys. All excursions were paid in advance. Once we boarded the ship, we were in the most capable hands of Malorie and Erin.
Although they did have a third Amazing Journeys staff member along, Noah, he was young and inexperienced. He did did not have the skill and finesse necessary to interact with the group. He said inappropriate things to me and to others. Speaking to people after the journey ended, I have heard many more people unhappy with Amazing Journeys choice of Noah as someone representing their company.
All in all, Amazing Journeys is a very appropriately named company. If you book a trip with them, you will truly have an Amazing Journey. With my first AJ trip now under my belt, I plan to travel with them to many more exciting destinations. If you’re considering one of their upcoming trips, and you haven’t traveled with them in the past… GO FOR IT! You won’t be sorry you did.

I did a cruise through the Mediterranean with Amazing Journeys on Celebrity. Amazing Journeys was very organized and the staff of Malori, Erin, and Noah we’re great. The Celebrity ship was good too. My only recommendation is if you’re not good with the heat or crowds like myself I would recommend this type of cruise in the off season (not summer). The group of travelers we’re very nice too on a whole. Feel free to contact me if you want anymore insight, but overall a great group and would definitely recommenced traveling with Amazing Journeys.

So glad I found Amazing Journeys. Their trips are very well run, like the people who I meet and feel comfortable going alone as everyone is inclusive. I look forward to more trips with them in the future.

Excellent, trustworthy Jewish singles company. As a widow that never traveled alone, I took a chance with this company and traveled to Peru and then took a South American cruise with them. So with some insight in this company, land and sea, I feel I can give a decent overview. They take care of everything once you get to your destination. They always have a personal escort from the company accompanying the group and is there for any issues that might arise. This is a very good thing. They keep things pretty active. So be prepared to stay busy. All the hotels are in great central locations but sometimes they are more like 3 star instead of at least a 4 star. Cusco in Peru is one example. Choice of hotel was disappointing when there were so many better options close by. Also when taking a tour, whether land or sea, make sure there’s time to see the town. If not I would skip the tour. For example, I didn’t take the rafting tour in Peru so I can explore Cusco which is a wonderful town. If I took the tour, I would have never seen the town and really missed out. Same with Puerto Madryn, Argentina. I heard the town was lovely which I missed being on an all day bus ride that I found to be very boring. On the other hand, they offer many excellent tours. One was Punta Arenas, Argentina where we went to see the Penguins which was one of the highlights of my trip. So it becomes a personal choice what you really want to do and see. They choose very good cruise lines. I was on Celebrity. They also take lots of pictures and post them and you can download them, which is nice so you never miss out on a picture. There are definitely more women than men. I think women just tend to travel more than men. I will definitely recommend Amazing Journeys as they got it down to a science but be more selective on the optional tours you sign up for

Fantastic, professional and worth it. With Amazing Journeys you are able to travel the world and see wonderful places without sweating all the small details. It is perfect if you want to see the world but don’t always have a crew of people to travel with. If you have friends that want to travel too, it’s even better!
Amazing Journeys staff helps you along every step of the pre-​trip from finding the right trip for you (and they have tons of options going all around the world), making sure that everything you need is in place (Including packing lists and all sorts of helpful documentation!). Once you actually start your trip they really shine. One of their staff comes along every trip with you and does everything they can to make sure that it is the vacation that you dreamed of.
One shining example is on my flight to Peru we got delayed (thanks delta!). We were supposed to get to our hotel around 8PM but ended up getting there around 2AM local time. Even at this ridiculous hour, our guide was up and waiting to greet the three of us the second that we walked into the hotel. From there she helped us make sure that everything was in place. The staff are the first up and the last to go to sleep if that means making sure that your trip is the best vacation possible.
They really live up to their slogan of «Vacations that change your life» and they change it in the best way possible.

I would highly recommend Amazing Journeys for group travel with nice Jewish people who are also interested in traveling to fun and new destinations. Amazing Journeys and its staff are professional, organized and bring together a diversity of Jewish travelers for a fun time. I have been on three trips with Amazing Journeys — two New Year’s Eve cruises and one adventure trip to Peru. They always take care of the important details so I can enjoy a carefree vacation. I also like that they work hard to make sure everyone feels warm, welcome, comfortable and included in all activities on their trips. I look forward to my next trip with Amazing Journeys very soon!

I have travelled with AJ for almost 10 years and had a great experience. I have toured with a number of different groups over the years, including Trafalger and UJA, and and rank AJ among the top tour groups. Yes, you could plan your own trip for less money. However, when I travel with a group I am looking to meet people I want to spend time with, trust the accommodations and F&B meet my travel standards, and know that all the details are taken care of by experts so that I can enjoy my vacation; AJ takes care of all that and my money is well spent. I don’t need to worry that I won’t be seeing the absolute most that can be offered in a given location, that transfers and tour guides are provided for – it’s all done.
They do their best with groups in the 75 – 100 person range and I highly recommend their summer Med Cruise for anyone going alone for the first time. If you want to spend time in one location getting to know the culture in depth, these trips are not for you. If your vacation purpose is a hassle free, often times exotic locale AND you want to easily make new friends, AJ is a great group to go with and is worth the money.
