After discussing a trip to Hawaii in 2027 and having all of my questions answered to my satisfaction, Bea made it extremely easy for me to make the initial payment.
With the little contact I had with YMT, I am impressed with its efficiency.
I am looking forward to receiving email updates.

customer service

Well the customer rep wanted details for the hotel that were not available in full detail. But my experience with hotels here in the US is that at this point in the travels it is not necessary. I am arranging the airline reservations for us which is where the details she asked for would be necessary. Thank you

Mariam responded to my email both by phone & email. I received the quote & made the deposit.

I realize it tour company's policy & will pay it. However, I find the single supplement charges discriminatory. Some of us choice to remain single or other circumstances widowed or divorced.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Regina, and for taking the time to speak with Mariam. We’re glad to hear she was able to assist you and that everything was finalized smoothly.
We understand your concerns regarding the single supplement and truly appreciate you sharing your perspective. The single supplement is not intended to be discriminatory; rather, it reflects the fact that hotels charge the same room rate whether a room is occupied by one guest or two. When one person occupies a room designed for double occupancy, the supplement helps cover the full cost of that room.
That said, we value your feedback and recognize that this is an important and sensitive topic. Your comments have been shared with our team and will be taken into consideration as we continue to review our policies and work to provide the best experience possible for all travelers.
We appreciate your understanding and wish you a wonderful journey ahead.
