This tour operator took us to ***** in 2019, for 11 nights and 10 nights. We visited ****, ********, ****** and *****. All of the hotels were fabulous; and meals delicious. The tour coach was roomy and comfortable, as we traveled around the Country. The Tour Operator is an amazing Historian and spent a lot of time, while we were on the bus, sharing interesting, historial facts. Having never been to ***** before, I was thrilled to be able to visit ***********, the ***********, *************, ************** Museum, rode on a gondola; visited an ******* Castle, helping to prepare dinner. In 2022, we had planned a tour, that got canceled. Our deposit was readily returned. We are looking forward to going on another tour with Conservators Tours, *** this year, to ******.Review from Joanne L

Touring in ******* and ******* because my friend from ************ had recommended Conservative Tours. I spoke with some of the other women in the group and two had said one reason they joined was to hear the commentary from the company president who agreed to ride along for this tour. Apparently he's known for his analysis of geo-political events.....the war in *******....and since this is partly a military tour, *********, ******** ************, The Beer Hall ****** he gave a lot of World War Two commentary as we were riding throughout *******.This was a high point for me again and again throughout the tour. We got to stay in a 5 star hotel in ********* for no extra charge. The tour leader, *******, was outstanding. Her focus was not on the military history or geo-political or ** affairs. All that was left to **************, the president. It was a nice balance. They obviously respect each other's unique talents. While I'm not too keen on German food I rate the tour very highly. Well run. Expert commentary and a good value for the money.Review from Cindy G

This tour company is corrupt. Phoenix tour was cancelled, and the tour company tried to pocket a large portion of my deposit. Don't use them.Conservative Tours, Inc. Response

The individual is not confused. She's deceitful. The person reserved a tour event several months ago and requested that we try to find a room mate for her. Recently she was informed that no other single woman on the tour wanted a room mate and that therefore she would have to purchase the single supplement. She refuses to purchase the single supplement and therefore chose to cancel her reservation. As with any American reserved with Conservative Tours she was entitled to a refund of 75% and was instantly refunded 75% of her deposit. This refund to her of 75% triggered hateful messages and threats to do us harm. ****************** failed to realize that extortion won't be rewarded. It will be exposed.Conservative Tours, Inc.

The individual is not confused. She's deceitful. She reserved a tour and requested we find her a room mate. She was recently informed that no other single woman on the tour wanted a room mate and that therefore she would have to purchase a private room. She was aware of this prospect from day one but pretends to be ignorant. She now refuses to purchase the single supplement so informed me that she is quitting the tour. She is therefore entitled to a 75% refund and was sent her refund within minutes. This 75% refund triggered hateful comments from ***************** and threats to do us harm. She failed to realize that extortion won't be rewarded. It will be exposed.Review from Sam D

***************** Tour - 2022 Positives:- Excellent German tour guide, *************- Great tour bus and drivers.- ************ 23 attendees.- Tour Operator knows his history very well.- Excellent area specific tour guides with exclusive behind the scenes access.- Very nice tour promoter.- Beautiful tour locations rich in history.- Fully scheduled tour days.Negatives:- Tour Promoter advertised 4-star hotels, however, 3-star at best except for two nights (of ten) were 4-star. Two nights slept on a mattress on the floor, not acceptable for the cost.- Tour Promoter advertised the best meals, most were mediocre with limited selection.- Tour Price was advertised at $4,889 plus government air tax and travel insurance. Government air taxes were $186. However, tour operator charged $583 for government air tax because the airline charged a $400 international surcharge, which is a fuel surcharge and not a government air tax. Therefore, I was overcharged by $397.- Tour Operator purchased group airline tickets on ****** Airlines, which made it difficult to upgrade to Economy Plus with no option to upgrade to Premium Plus or First/Business class. ****** was very difficult to work with for a group ticket, always had to call for help during limited hours, no online group ticket service.- Tour Operator shows no compassion towards his guests. Examples: Dropped off at hotels to check-in late in the evening (dark outside) with no luggage service and difficult terrain to navigate from the bus drop-off point to the front desk, one person tripped and fell to the ground on her face, most of the group was elderly with an average age of 70 years; No guidance for money exchange, told just go to an ATM for local currency, after bringing $500 in cash to exchange.Conservative Tours, Inc.

I didn't suspect anything odd when this chap first called to inquire about the tour; but I should have in retrospect. My error. I didn't put one and one together. Attending the tour event to ******* as a single he asked if I could find a female room mate for him. Having witnessed this individual on tour I think I know why he made that request many months ago. Upon welcoming the group members at the airport in ****** this fellow started to complain about the ****** Airlines flight. 4 hours later we were across from each other at the famous *********** Beer Hall in ******. Classic raucous ****** Beer Hall environment....fortunately. Mr *** became enraged because he noticed I had a dark beer and his anger as he explained was owing to the fact that he was served a different variety of beer. He wasn't screaming but he was enraged. Those close enough to hear him were ill at ease, including his room mate. Fortunately the Uoompah Band was blowing loud and strong. The roasted chicken that evening was the best chicken I've had anywhere on the planet. A couple of days into the tour and one guest came to me to say that Mr. *** had spent "the whole flight across the ocean" loudly complaining to ****** staff about how he had been taken advantage of by ****** Airlines. Some incident triggered her coming to me that day but I no longer recall what it was but it's not hard to guess. The oddest of the odd came when we were at the top of Zugspitze mountain. As a few of us came up one staircase there was Mr. *** angrily shouting in the crisp Alpine air as he waved his phone in the air with the "proof" that he had been overcharged for his air ticket. When I had learned that twice during the event Mr *** had gone crying to the celebrity so that his "misery" could end I thought I should intervene beyond what my tour leader for the event had already done. I went to see the boutique hotel where we had placed him and his room mate because there were no TWIN rooms in our other hotel I recall. His boutique hotel room was an inside room....not on the noisy street....with a private balcony on the interior courtyard and garden. One of the largest rooms I've ever purchased in Europe and as a new hotel naturally everything was spanking new. We'll use this hotel again to be sure. When I chatted with our saintly tour leader, *******, about how she was handling Mr ***** mood swings and complaints she indicated there was only one way to handle someone like that: shower him with attention and special treatment, as if his complaints were justified. She said there is a perfect ****** saying for a person like Mr. ***....."he looks for the hair in every bowl of soup." That's what we were dealing with for 11 days.
