I don't know if you or any of your friend drive but you can rent car and book hotel on your own for very good deals and Bob's your uncle. You are not tied to the fairly rigid schedule of tour groups and you can also save money along the way. But if you guys just want to let others do the work for you (this is your first trip abroad after all) then I don't have any issue with that either.

canabiz wrote: ↑ Ducky, I don't want to hijack this thread because it's obvious the OP is looking for feedback on Taipan Tours. That being said, I would like to point out a couple of flaws in your arguments 1. I don't know where you got the $115/person for 4 day Atlantic City, NYC, Philadephia, D.C. from because I would like to sign up for that ASAP. I checked out Taipan Tours' website and it is $169/person for quad room http://www.taipantours.com/Travel/TourD ... NY04&id=13 There are all kinds of fine print that you need to know i.e. high-season rates, taxes, discounts for cash payment, tips and gratuities, admission fees, and most important of all, this price does not cover the food! After all is said and done, it is simply unrealistic and illogical to expect to pay only $169/person for this trip. 2. This is an apple vs. orange comparison in the sense that we need to match up all the activities before we can deem it a fair comparison. I look at the itinerary in the link above and nowhere does it say it will let people visit Central Park in New York and/or the Philadelphia Museum of Arts (with the famous Rocky steps and statue). When I visit the above cities, I want to go to the aforementioned places. I don't think it is too much to ask for, Ducky. Don't get me wrong, the tour groups exist for a good reason. I am more of a hands-on type of traveler who like to be as involved in all facets of my trip as possible. I realize that may not be the cup of tea for some people and that's fine.

We recently completed an 8-day tour of Italy, covering a remarkable array of places. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Richard Yang, our tour guide, was exceptionally knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and took excellent care of everyone throughout the tour. The driver was also very skillful and helpful. While the pace of the trip was a bit rushed, considering the multitude of places covered, we understood the necessity. Despite this, we appreciated the opportunity to visit so many attractions. In terms of cost, I would say it was reasonable given the comprehensive nature of the tour. We definitely plan to join another trip in the future.

We enjoyed the tour to Italy and the good service of Mr. Richard Yang during our trip

I booked a 4 days tour trip to NY - Philadelphia way back on May 20, 2023 for Sat July 29th - August 1, 2023. I told them that I may move my dates around if there is no penalty. They told me that they will confirm the trip about 3 days ahead of the actual travel date so it is no problem as long as it is more than 2 full weeks. Fast forward to now, my employer wanted me to come back and work on Monday July 31 so I tried to call the Scarborough Taipan Tours office (same place i booked my travel tickets of 4 persons). I like to move my travel date to Wed 07.26 and go home on Sat 07.29 which I have about 19 days BEFORE my travel date. Guess What .. They told me we have to pay a penalty of $400 per person so they can move my dates back... The actual cost for one person ticket is $428... They are completely a rip-off company. There is nothing else out there to do what they are doing with a civilzed staffing. This is crazy. I will file a BBB complaint log against them. This is just a WARNING to everyone who wants to travel with this stupid / greedy company.

We took the 3 day East Canada tour with Taipan to Montreal, Quebec and 1000 island in the August 2023. Tour guide - Jack 3/5 Bus and Driver - 5/5 Food - 1/5 Locations covered - 3/5 Jack was a very kind, and energetic guide and he had excellent knowledge about the places we went to. Although, my complaint is that the tour felt like a movie being played on fast forward. I am aware of the fact that we had a lot of places to cover in a short time, but this was more of a training camp for us rather than a vacation. Every stop was rushed, whether it was a sightseeing location or a washroom break. For many of us, this will be the only time we would ever visit this country and all these places, hence it seemed unfair for the amount we have paid. Even about the food, most of the places that were arranged by the tour didn't have a lot of options for people with a certain diet restriction(vegetaria). It would have been better to choose those places where options are available other than what was offered by the tour and the tour themselves should have offered options at every location. The guide didn't even ask or try and help for offering options of those who didn't take the tour meals. We appreciate the places we covered, but it could have been less stressful and we would have liked it more if it would have been made more like a holiday rather than rushing us all the time these 3days.

Terrible tour company ever! https://www.taipantours.com/ My family took their 3 Days Canada East Tour on Sept 29, 2023. The tour guide cancel Biodome de Montreal without giving a before notice, but on the spot, when trip begin (their reason, biodome too busy, we not going there); everyone's have no say to its. All passengers that wanted to attend biodome before the trip start are now force to choice a tour option (museums) that don't wanna attend to filled up a 4 limits company policy. Forced to pay for something you know you not going to enjoy to begin with, isn't that just BS? Also the tour food suck and expensive, you'll better off stacking up fast food for the tour.

We joined Tai Pan Tours Group on Sept15 to 22 to Italy. It was a wonderful experience !! Stevephan Tan was our tour guide during this trip. His work manner, details knowledge, Sense of humour, careless were the keys to make our trip so successful. He put his best efforts on this trip, so we felt comfortable , confident, safety, worry -free for all the time. The Bus driver is Wilson, he was a amazing guy, he cooperated with Stephan Tan well, always think for us, tried to drip us at visit location as closest as possible, so we did not walk to much. He also keep to clean the bus as soon as he had time. It was amazing trip !! We are looking forward joining another trip with stevephan Tan again. Thank you and happy Chinese moon festival Christina / Peter

If your trip guide is Mr Perry Chung, please cancel your trip and stay home in peace. Mr Chris , the driver threatened saying " He will kick us out off the bus because he works with federal government and he can do anything" With a profound regrets I write this entire content from our personal opinion for the Two nights and three days trip from Toronto to Kingston, Montreal, Quebec and Thousand Islands. As we all know that, people go on a trip for enjoyment, happiness and make our mindset relaxed with kith and kin. But deeply regret to state that, we have experienced the bitter and worst part from Mr. Perry guide & Mr Chris, the driver, turning our entire Holiday program into a darkness filled with unfavorable, adamant eccentric behaviors from them in a our day to Day aspects of our entire journey period. How could this be?! in a tourism Industry where people from different parts world have faced this in Canada. The time Management part specially for Lunch breaks and wakeup time was a big mishap & Havoc, below are the few observations faced by us a) The day one of pick-up Bus lounge had come by almost 40 minutes delay. Bus was horrible on day one and the next day at Montreal we had different bus with a gift if water leakage from the vents. b) Mr.Perry doesn't have any patience in hearing our grievance nor manners in expressing his views Really unhappy for his dictatorship. There was a polite conversation with him, felt like "we are monkeys trapped in a cage". c) lunch timing on first day was less then 45 minutes, wherein passengers were directed to a long-distance hotel for way to fetch some food also stopped the Bus very far away from the parking area. Here one should understand that, travellers with kids and depending families had to walk long way wasting time in walking alone. VEGETERIANS should take their own lunch for day one. Mr.Perry doesn't even look into all this aspects and expresses his anger in Mic and warns us with popped up eyes. d) He never looked back weather people got proper accommodation from hotels where we stayed, e) Nevertheless we people had one peaceful morning, he dictates that every one should be in seat by 6.20 am, without even having foresight of people who were just locking there rooms and ready for checkout with kids and old age people. f) On the last day Mr.Perry argued with all of us and ready to leave behind one of the family in the group for merry 5 minutes delay in dept time, Mr Chris driver expresses one of the passengers to kick off from Bus and as a penalty they wouldn't take responsibility in getting them back to there destination. Apparently he works for federal government and has right to do anything with anyone and he has also done this in this previous trips. g) Infurthence, to the above, the entire our time spent in tour was stolen and spoilt away by both of them in terms of Money, happiness and (our precious holiday period) keeping all of us unhappy in darkness of bitter holidays experienced by your grace, we spent with your team. we hereby declare that it was not a worthwhile nor Happy trip organized by Tai Pan Tours company.

We just joined a 7days Eastern Canada PEI tour. Well, if you don't mind waking up early to be in the bus by 6:30am (sometimes a bit later) and rushing, and eating mostly Chinese food then this tour is for you. My friend and I didn't mind it, so we enjoyed it and have so much fun seeing different places. Our tour guide named Winter was nice, friendly and very knowledgeable about the places we went to. And I can tell that most of us seemed happy and comfortable in this tour. My friend and I, decided to join another tour later as long as Winter is our tour guide. Oh yeah, our driver Paul was also nice. And the hotels where we stayed in were clean, spacious, nice and comfortable beds and pillows. I would recommend it!

One of the worst tour companies I have ever been in. We went to New York Boston Atlantic city Washington DC the driver purposely didn't turn on ac and turned off free wifi I mean they are complete scum be very careful going with this company they are criminals I'm surprised they are not in prison yet never going with this company anywhere

After reading all the bad reviews about Tai Pan Tours, I feel I need to share about my recent experiences. We just came back from their 4 days New York, Boston & Washington DC trip today. The hotels that we stayed were amazing! First night we stayed at The Westin Waltham Boston, second night Hyatt Regency Morristown (New Jersey) and last night at Sheraton Harrisburg Hershey. I checked online and the hotels alone cost around $500 + tax, and the three of us only paid $850 for the tour (exclude meals, admission fees for attractions & gratuities), which is really a good deal. Our tour guide Eddy is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable, he went above and beyond to make sure we are all taken care of. I will definitely traveling with Tai Pan tour again!

The only way to see Rocky Mountain from Estes! The open air luxury bus was fantastic. Zak, our guide was fabulous. He is a local that has been in Colorado for 13 years...very passionate about the beauty and wildlife in the park. Zak speaks clearly and the audio system on the van was fabulous. I am a fan of taking tours because the guides are very knowledgeable. Zak went above and beyond detailing (but not boring) the history of Rocky Mountain. He listened carefully and always ready to make a stop to get out for a break. If you are thinking, why would I pay?...don't think twice..it's worth every penny. Zak thinks of everything: water, snacks, cell phone chargers. Also the retractable cover on the van makes it adaptable to any and all weather conditions. Thank you Zak for a fun and informative adventure that we will not forget.

My husband and I can't stop talking about our Rocky Mountain National Park tour that we took this past Wednesday with Purple Mountain Tour Company. Zac, our tour guide, was beyond exceptional. He was so informative and took the time to make stops along the way so that we could walk around and and see some of the more interesting places that the general public might miss if they weren't aware of them. He was so knowledgeable about the area and continued to point out details that I doubt other guides would take the time to do. Zac and his wife have lots of experience in the tour guiding business and have certainly refined their business to cater to the public in ways that make their's stand out amongst the other, less expensive tour companies in the area. The custom Mercedes sprinter van, with the retractable glass top, is truly impressive. It was wonderful when the top was retracted while the weather was cooperating and we were at lower altitude. As we got closer to the top of the mountain, Zac asked if we wanted the top closed, due to the wind and sudden drop in temperature. We agreed, then shortly afterwards, it started to rain but our view wasn't obstructed, thanks to the glass top and sides. The seats were very comfortable. Oh, I also want to mention that there are 2 Keurig hot beverage makers with a good verity of K-cup drinks to choose from as well as lots of snacks and plenty of cold beverages, all offered at no charge. It was really nice to hold a warm cup of coffee as we traveled through the colder parts of the tour. If you want to see the National park in pure comfort, then this is the company to go with. They have spared no expense in order to offer an experience that's already pretty amazing but then adds that special touch that brings it to a whole new level. Like when you decide to upgrade your flight from coach to business class. Flying coach just won't feel the same now, it's business class or nothing... (just kidding, kinda). Zac and his wife have certainly set the bar high. Overall, I would give this company 10 stars! We will be back to Estes Park next summer and have already decided to book another tour with Purple Mountain Tour Company. Yay!! I can't wait!! P.S. The pictures were taken during the tour. Just look how close we were to those monster elk! Thanks Zac for providing such a memorable experience that we won't soon forget. We will see you next year!

We recently got to travel to Colorado and found Purple Mountain Tour Company as an option to take a tour of Rocky Mountain National Park. We absolutely loved it. Loved it so much that when we finished our first tour we had reserved, we walked into the office to book a second tour with them. We were so pleased with the whole adventure. Zac, our driver, was knowledgeable about the history of the park and was so engaging with the people on the tour. The tour bus was amazing...glass enclosed as well as open air when desired. If you get the chance to book with them, Do It!!! This is a great adventure for folks of any age. One of the best things is you get to enjoy the scenery without the worry of driving or figuring out where to go and how to get there. Just call them and book directly with them for great info and great price.

Photo taken during our tour of Rocky Mountain National Park

Our family of four (including two kids, ages 11 and 9) had an AMAZING time on the 4 pm tour yesterday with Zac. The tour bus was something we'd never experienced before! An open-air, luxury bus with coffee/hot chocolate machines on board, snacks, and all kinds of soft drinks and juices. Zac was not only a careful and expert driver, he was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. We learned so much about the Rocky Mountain National Park and its wildlife. We will definitely do this tour again if we find ourselves back in Estes Park (which we hope to) and we would recommend this tour to any friends or family visiting the area. Thank you, Zac, for the wonderful experience!

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
