davy jones Posted September 26, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Their tours look identical. Why should I choose one over the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallie5446 Posted September 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2013 We have used Bernard, very good tour. Kroger or Safeway, about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyp969 Posted October 9, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 9, 2013 My experience, AVOID NOEL AT ALL COSTS!!! He doesn't respond to e-mail once you've send him money. I sent him a deposit and once I did that he stopped e-mailing and won't return my calls. I think I'm out the $46 at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaniceB Posted October 9, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I haven't had that experience with Noel. He even sent me a picture of what to look for when we get off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaniceB Posted October 10, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hopefully we will have the same experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long after you sent him the deposit did he send instructions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckenhawk Posted October 11, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I booked with Noel Tours also for next week(Monday) with our port on the Jewel of the Seas, and he sent the instructions the same day I made the deposit... however I have been unable to contact them to confirm the dates- several emails and phone calls including a voice mail today. I'm a little concerned as we fly out early Saturday, and I wanted to verify our reservation- but I'll just relax and let the vacation vibe set in and have no worries. I'll update with additional info when we return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fouremco Posted November 4, 2013 #10 Share Posted November 4, 2013 If it's any indication of the state of the business, the Noel Tours website has "stepped out for a bit" and the site host is asking for the owner to contact them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll update with additional info when we return. I had the same response, right after my deposit was made he contacted me. I haven't tried to contact him since because he sent me the instructions, so I can't comment on verifying reservation.

Mckenhawk Posted August 18, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I had the same response, right after my deposit was made he contacted me. I haven't tried to contact him since because he sent me the instructions, so I can't comment on verifying reservation. I just went to the Noel Tours site and didn't encounter a problem. We had absolutely no problems and were 100% happy with our experience with the tour. It was a little worrisome to not get the immediate responses we have come to expect from our fast paced lives- but I realized that isn't how the islands work. Also, I don't think they have anyone that sits in an office taking reservations- they do it all so they are busy all the time. Best advice, just plan in advance as best you can. I recommend you take the tour. It was a great way to spend the day.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
