Had an excellent time

Went on our first trip with L&M tours last year up to the Finger Lakes. AWESOME time!!! Our hotel was great. We were able to take long walks and see the water. The trip itself was great also. The only two things that I found negative was the Mormon Church stuff. Too much religious nonsense and too many ppl trying to convert you into what they believe and having some guy who thought he knew everything. That guy was a bully. Even bullying our terrific tour guide. I wish we could have spent more time at the Kodak estate, but we spent so much time at the Mormom Church which I could have done without. I would definitely recommend this company to go away on tours. I think some of the reviewers have sticks up their asses because you know where you are going ahead of time and what to pretty much expect. If you not happy with L&M tours then stop using them.

• Pros: Great experience
• Cons: would have preferred not so much religious stuff

Hacks!

This is a very unprofessional company and I have no intention of ever using them again. I booked 2 separate trips with L&M and paid them in full. But a week before each departure, they called to tell me they were canceling for “lack of interest.” It was very aggravating because each time, I had to go through a lot to get the days off from work.

Eventually, I did travel with L&M on a one-day outlet shopping trip to PA…. of which I expected to be transported in the standard 50 seat tour bus. Instead I was picked up in an old, dirty, musty smelling, 10 seat passenger van! Including myself, there were a total of 7 passengers. There was no leader/tour guide, only the driver (who was Chinese and spoke very little English). And, there were also no seat belts for the passengers either.

The final straw with L&M came a few months later when I called to ask some questions about their trip to Block Island. A rude btich named June was so curt and snooty with me that I hung up on her and decided never use L&M again.

• Pros: they offer a lot of trips
• Cons: they cancel a lot of trips

The Tour Company

by magicloop2009 at Citysearch

I've went on numerous trips with my mother on L&M tours since 2002. I don't like that they disreguarded the pick up stop at Avuenue U. Now we have to wait for the bus for one hour to come infront of Dunkin Donuts in Bay Ridge. Niagara Falls was my favorite trip with them. I also don't like that they rush you and it's all over so fast, and arrive home before dusk, tryingto beat traffic. I traveled many places on the eastern seaboard with them. Some of the people aren't so friendly and nice, and are mostly to themselves. The tour guide Qua is very funny and entertaining and plays, DVD's, music, and trivia..... He hands out, lollipops, pens, and upcomming tour books for the passengers. The last day tour I was on was on June 12th, 2009 to the Philadelphia Jewish Museum. A very big dissapointment, a chunk part of it was closed and will reopen in the fall of next year 2010. We saw the temple though. Many people were VERY dissappointed!!!!!!!!!!

Not cool. We had to leave early, not good either. We got to see the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and a historical Tour of Philadelphia, which is village-like and old fashioned. The kosher lunch was terrible. And to top things off this six year old boy wouldn't stop following me all day long. He followed me everywhere I went. He was cute, but wouldn't leave me alone. What a nuissance. His snobby granny couldn't controll him. He even followed me into the ladies room, how embarrassing. Otherwise I took photos for memory. Security was tight and strict. I also enjoyed the Penn Dutch Amish Country, and the resturaunt good and plenty has the best food and churned butter. Lots of cool experiences come with these tours.

• Pros: They go educational places with adventure
• Cons: Trips are cut short
