Worst bus driver of bus 326. She was very rude. Blocked me in at the main street in New York. I have a video of how rude she spoke and lied to her clients on board and got them too curse me out. I'm very much pleased to have it all recorded. I am going to upload it and show how horrid and ugly this company allows for their drives too treat people. I didn't even cuss her out or tell her anything disrespectful. I did not position myself too deserve this at all.
One of the WORST customer service experiences of my life! Placed an order via their "online ordering"...gave all my info, including contact and credit card info...got a confirmation number and...almost a full day later, got an email stating that the tour didn't have enough available seats to complete my order. Really??? In this day and age, they have an "online" ordering system that requires someone to MANUALLY look over records to see if there is availability??? Absolutely ridiculous. They may as well have a 1970s answering machine that just says "leave a message"! Now, they have all my contact info AND all my card info and I haven't even been able to get my trip booked. Guess what they WILL be able to send me? That's right...I will be spammed until the end of time, I'm sure. The only thing that remotely warned me of this possible overbooking was one line of response AFTER I placed the order and gave all of my secure info. In addition to that, the woman on the phone that I spoke to earlier in the week never had the courtesy to tell me any of this when I called regarding availability. She only said there was enough room and gave me no warning even when I said I had to check with friends and that I would get online to order later in the week. I have to say that this experience had really left me shaking my head. How can a system be so archaic that someone has to manually check things nearly a full day after the fact in order to confirm things? EVERY ticketing site I've ever visited (StubHub, Mets Online and even local area venues such as Troy Savings Bank Music Hall) have all shown you ticket availability in REAL TIME. If you secured the tickets at ordering...great. If not, you were told instantaneously. Now I have to tell my two young boys that we can't take the bus to the game because the tickets really weren't there. Just lovely...needless to say, this is the last time I will be doing business with Yankee Trails.
Went on the Radio City Trip December 7, 2017. The driver Ron and guide Cindy were wonderful. The seats we had for the Rocketts show were horrible. We paid a lot of money for nothing. We sat up in the back so far away we couldn’t see. I felt sorry for the people who have never seen it before especially the children. We booked in 0ctober so you can’t tell me the good seats were taken. The booking agent dropped the ball on this one. This will never happen again. We will find out exactly where are seats are the next time and probably cancel if there bad. Not happy.
THANK YOU YANKEE TRAILS YOU MADE OUR TRIP A SUCCESS i had a great trip using YANKEE TRAILS, the buses were great, the drivers were great and very friendly, and the whole trip was great
A group of 7 seniors left Latham went to Turning Stone on 8/24/16. On this bus their was 2, young ladies that the mother admitted to us that they were 17. They should not have been on a gambling bus trip per Turning Stones regulations. These girls were rude to us. They TOLD us to stop laughing that it was too early and we were annoying them. Their mothers allowed them to talk to us that way even as they screamed "SHUT UP" to us. On the way back this harassment continued even as they changed seats putting other people out of their seats. There was a older man who got on at the same stop (Crossgates)as those girls who we made friends with and sat with us. He was afraid to get off the bus with them. He was scared as he should have been. Your bus driver did absolutely nothing . He heard all the yelling and screaming going on and never said a word or did anything except his tips at the end of the trip. We are very disappointed in this trip that allowed minors. This should have been fun. it will take a lot of convincing for us to use your bus line again.
Awful experience when the office misplaced our tickets to see the Rockettes and made us wait outside in 19 degree weather for 1/2 an hour with two young girls until they figured out their mistake. When we called to voice our concerns the following day their response was what do you want us to do, you ended up making it to your destination. I think someone needs to take another look at their customer service policy.
Terrible bus trip
The only way to travel! Zero stress, no wear and tear on my car. No getting lost. No worries about parking, tools, gas... And admission to sights included!
Always have a good time with Yankee Trails 6 stars
Comfortable, gets you there on time
Great Santa experience
My very favorite way to travel... Omw to A.C
Never got in touch.
Great service and pleasant personal
Dropping my wife off for bus for trip very busy parking attendants very organized
Great way to travel. Going on a cruise. Free wifi . Comfortably ride. Friendly driver.
still before the trip but sounnds really good
Went there for Santa's Magical Express. It is a great way to spend time with the family and a great way to start the Holiday Season. Such a great time.
Our driver was great. I was so glad I wasn't driving.
Friendly drivers. Safely arrived at our destination and return trip.
Before good intentions and motivation fall away like sand between my fingers,, I am pounding out this review as soon as possible while t he emotions from this awesome experience with Yankee Trails while it is still fresh in my mind. I led my program on a round trip tour to the Foxwoods Casino. First of all, I would like to say that my past experience with other bus companies and bus drivers has not been positive, which left me with a lingering disgust and avoidance of such forms of transportation. It has been my past experiences (with companies other than Yankee Trails), that drivers are either shamefully late or have a chip on their shoulders. They are frustrated and appear to exhibit almost bully-like behavior. This does not work for me especially because i live with Asperger's syndrome and have spoken down to for much of my life.. If I wanted to be treated like toxic waste there are plenty of places where I could receive that abuse for free. But this was NOT the case with Yankee Trails and our driver. His name is Charlie and was a gentleman to me as well as the participants of my program. He spoke with a sense of humor and was one-time picking us up from Albany and the Foxwoods Casino! That would have been awesome enough but there is much more. As soon as I walked off the bus and into the casino, I realized an extremely important item was missing. (One of my keys that has fallen off the lanyard I keep around my neck. Fortunately, I had only walked a very short distance and was able to rule out the places it could have been lost. I figured it must still be on the bus but was not sure and went into a state of all-encompassing panic. Yankee Trails informed Charlie after I called and he took the time to diligently look through every crevice of the seat where it was tucked in the space between the two seats. One o f the most massive waves of relief I have ever felt in my entire life swept over me and as I write this review we are watching a hilarious movie on the bus television system to make the trip go faster. Hooray for Charlie, Yankee Trails, and a perfect day! I cannot wait to go on the next trip by myself and will definitely hold onto m y belongings for dear life next time and search my seats at least twice before walking off.. But if God-forbid something happens ever again, i know it will be in good hands!
Great for the money.
We were on the Giants vs Dolphins trip 8/12. Our bus driver Cliff was excellent, if only I could say the same for our fellow passengers. This was the second time we have taken one of these trips with Yankee Trails and the bus ride is ruined by a drunken idiot. I know that Yankee Trails cannot control how much people drink while at the stadium, but there really should be no alcohol allowed at all on the bus. Plus this guy lit up a cigarette on the bus when we were like 10 minutes from the stadium. He was worse on the way back, even getting into a fight with another passenger (a woman). I know that the driver has the right to put people off the bus, and I understand that they may be reluctant to do so, but to make the trip miserable for the other 35 or 40 people on the bus is worse.
Dropped off boy friend to work
Always a pleasure traveling with Yankee trail.Bus drivers and office staff always pleasant and accommodating..
I would not recommend Yankee Trails. They combine trips on one bus so if you're going for a trip they drop you off and then you have to wait and wait and wait for the people on the other "trip" to finish. The overnight bus trip to Toronto was terrible. We were put up at a suburban hotel in practically the middle of nowhere with no public transportation. We left Friday and by Saturday afternoon we were so bored as they didn't plan anything for us to do. As there was no city to walk around we ended up watching TV in our room which was nothing to speak of. That pretty much ended our vacations with Yankee Trails. Not recommended.
This company can't even handle a shuttle from Albany to Menands. A simple routine trip. No way I would even consider using them for a vacation.
I'm on my second trip, both times we are subjected to terrible movies at a deafening volume.
This is possibly the worst bus I have ever rode. It was not quite and relaxing but packed with banter from a bus driver and manager who loved to hear themselves on the Mike. Our cruise landed at 10am and they picked us up by 6:15pm. Now I will say a lady named Beth called the day before the cruise to advise of this change. But that is not nearly enough time to agree or disagree with such a change. I will never ride this bus line again. Also the bus driver found it hilarious to lock us out of the bus while he laughed at us in the rain. Poor customer service at it's finest
Drivers are very good..buses are clean
Wow, just awful ride home from the cruise port in N.Y. today. UNACCEPTABLE!!! No A.C. in the bus with no Windows to open on a 90 degree day. Passengers were using ice from there drinks to try and stay cool! The entire bus was extremely hot and unhappy. After arriving I went to the office to explain what happened. " wow that's awful im sorry" is all I got back. STAY AWAY, FAR AWAY FROM YANKEE TRAILS!!!
Thanks for a pleasant experience and a great cruise. Looking forward to another
I take this bus daily for work. They are totally inept & don't show up for the ONE job they have. Choose another company & fast.
Been on them in the past here there even better now
booked turning stone overnight package. No where in any of the materials from Yankee does it state that the check in time for the room was a late 4pm. Had they properly communicated the detail of the trip on their website or in the printed materials I would of been able to cancel in time to get a refund. To top it off when I called after the trip they would not return my call. I also experianced zero customer support from yankee or turning stone when asked for justification. We where told by hotel rep at turning stone that regular hotel guest and all other guest are priority and that bus guests always come last. This service was reflected in the dirty rooms, liquid stained sofa and sink and tub with hair in it. Save your time and money ?
It is a drop off.. Pick up location. Yankee trails trips are the best. I wouldn't pick any other place to take my trips. !
Used them for shuttle to cruise, was very happy with them, only complaint I have was the leg room, but I am 6' with long legs.
The shuttle bus is always late and when it's not it's always full and I have to wait for the next one .... NOT FAIR! Nys employee who relies in them everyday and is ALWAYS let down
Very reliable
Useful for cruises.
Seats were comfy and the driver was awesome
Yankee Trails World Travel has the worst web site I have ever been on. Nothing on the site works. It is so stupid. I was going to list all of the problems but I am sure it would be a total waste of my time.
Great Deals and value!!!! Employees are really friendly
Good bus trips
Wonderful holiday Fun!
Very crowded this morning, no organization, several buses to be loaded, and people being people, standing in the way, standing at wrong bus, left luggage in the way. Perhaps having a separate quay for each bus would help. This is probably the 20th time, we've used yankee trails to the NYC cruise pier, and the disorganization is getting worse
My family and I have done Santa Magical bus and it was a good experience but this morning I was unfortunate to have a very negative experience with a Yankee Trail bus driver around 8:50am on the S Mall Arterial in Albany NY. He was merging into traffic but came very close to my car. I honk my horn just to warn him he was to close to my car and I felt he was going to hit me. Apparently the driver didn't like it and went ballistics. Honk his horn at me and wouldn't take his hand off it. He was behind me and while making the U turn into the empire plaza I looked right at him and he continuously flipped me the bird as he was entering the plaza. I think he stopped in the concourse level to pick up customers. This person is a jerk and he is a poor reflection of Yankee Trails. He shouldn't be on the road, who in the world he thinks he is? He thinks just because he's driving a huge bus he can bully people on the road. He shouldn't treat people like that. Someone from management needs to seriously talk to him.
Awesome experience. Frank was the best driver.Made the trip fun.very accommodating. Best trip to the queen concert.
Great to go to cruise terminal and they pick u up
Outstanding service,made me feel as if I were a family member, cannot applaud the organization any way other than excellent!
We were on Bus 6 this past weekend, our driver was Alan, and escort was Kathy. They were amazing, what a great trip. My husband was having issues getting on and off the bus, they were amazing and so attentive. They made the trip a wonderful experience. Great time.
I recently took a trip with my daughter to see a New York Yankee game. From ticketing process, customer service and ride to and from Yankee Stadium the service was excellent! Customer service was fast and friendly and the driver was professional and highly experienced. The value for what i paid was very reasonable and well worth the trip. I look forward to booking another trip again.
i took the 2 day tropicana trip 1/24. was great!! judy the tour guide and joe the bus driver were great. i highly recommend!! 3 rd time with yankee trails best everr!!! cindy is like the best tour guide, a real people helper, and that cant be taught. 2 thumbs way up !!
On are way to New York city to go on a cruise the driver Allen is the best on time no problems
Taking many trips great company never a problem. See ya soon
Customer Service is the best. They took a deep look into our personal circumstances to assist my parents. What could have been a really bad situation turned into a positive. Thank you for taking the time to listen and resolve the situation. Thank you Melissa and Blythe!
I have to say that I would not use this service again. I booked a trip to the Bronx Zoo for 4 people. The site said to be at the pickup location at 7:45 AM. We arrived 15 minutes early to make sure that we had ample time if it took time to load the bus. It is now 9:00AM and the bus still has not arrived. There was no notice from Yankee Trails of a delay or cancellation. I called them and the very nice lady on the phone said that they are running an hour and a half behind. No notice no call. When they did finally arrive I was coming out of the bathroom at the store right there and they gave me no time to do anything. Very poor service. I would not recommend it at all.
You guys just complain to much the ones that are making the reviews no leg room what do you expect i have done yankee trails many times and have had no problem and one said the bathroom door was broken maybe the kid broke it you never know people that are making bad reviews you can't make everyone happy enough said the workers are always in a good mood and at least they supply food and drinks on the ride people want a amazing bus and more leg room and all this extra stuff then pay for it sorry but pay to play thank you and i def go with yankee trails again
They need some lessons in customer service. I called to get some more information about a Boston trip since their website is so vague. The lady was rude! I ended the call fast before even asking my question. Will do the drive myself to Boston before using this company.
Great trips, with fair prices!
Fantastic! Makes any trip more enjoyable.
We had a great visit to Salem Massachusetts, other than the hotel but that is not Yankee Trails' fault. Our bus driver, Brad, was great even with idiots pulling out in front of the bus and stopping and our guide Cindy was wonderful! We will definitely be going on another trip with Yankee Trails
i liked Yankee Trails I just wished yankee trails would of kept there Friday night until Saturday morning special..i really enjoyed the Fridays due to I had a sitter for the night to watch my boys.
It was great would recommend any parents to bring their children
I am driving on Hwy. 50 Winter Garden,Fl behind a Dodge mini van with Yankee Trails advertised all over the vehicle. This driver is one of the stupidest and most careless I have seen in a while. He is in and out of lanes whilst other vehicles are still in it,forcing them to move of the lanes. Very dangerous driving.
When something is wrong on the bus i normally don't say anything but today we got seated in the back of the bus seats 55-56 right next to the rest room smell so Bad the bus driver try to make it better bless him heart bus338
Great company with warm costumer service
Why can't they assign you your seat so you can sit with the person you are traveling with.
Very fun, we did the winter wonderland buss ride, it is great for 7 and under. Older its not as much fun
Seats not comfortable. No leg room. AC not adequate
We used yankee trail to get to and from the port in NYC for our cruise, the driver was courteous and helpful, the busses were clean and we arrived when we were supposed to
Great people work for this company. Servicing commuters, day trippers and touring travels. Reasonable, clean, friendly and knowledgeable. Haven't been to their promotional sales nights yet. Hope to, soon. Keep up the good work!
Great place
Horrible, Horrible, Horrible! They got us to our destination 1.5 hours late and left us waiting for our return pickup outside on a cold rainy sidewalk for 3 HOURS with no communication. When contacted, they did not care, just shrugged us off. Rotten bus service, rotten customer service. Stay away at all costs!
Great bus service!
This was an amazing experience for little ones!
I recently went on day trip to the Aquarium, with my Granddaughter, it was not a good experience,the aquarium was so busy & crowded you could not walk through, or see anything, we tried several times, going back through long lines to get back in, we gave up & left to fill our day, as we would have left if we had our own transportation, plus the rain all day didn't help, I would not recommend this to anyone the price was way to much for the trouble one has to go through to try & enjoy a day.The staff on the bus made the ride pleasant & helpful, I will not be so quick to go anything like this again.
Excellent service. Helpful. Goes the extra mile for customers or clients.
Sweet way to get to a cruise ship in NYC. Awsome
Well planned trip. Waiting outside in the cold damp weather was not fun.
My problem exists with your drivers! I pass your exit in Rensselaer,NY on rt.43 6 days a week on my way to work. I was assured that the issue would be taken care of. This morning I was assured that it was not! A 1/4 of a mile view in both direction for your drivers leaving your lot,and they continue to pull out in front of cars going down Rt.43. It was pouring rain this morning,so we all had lights on,and here he comes. Myself,and the driver in front of me had maybe 250 ft to avoid the bus! This is really bad,it's been going on for many years for me,like 20. This has to stop!! If it zeros it down for you,it was 6:46 am 9/30/15,there was a school bus right behind your bus waiting to exit. Find this idiot,and fire him,or her! I give you no stars,and wouldn't ride your busses in fear of my life. I'm 54 year old male,and not a scared driver,so your not getting this note from a trembling old guy. Someone will get hurt here,and I hope it's me. I will sue the pants off your company if this happens to me. If I had time,I would have turned around and gotten info from the bus,and went right to the depot. Fix it before someone,or all the people on the buss get killed! Ridiculous! I have to give one star in order to post,but I take that back.
It's always a pleasant trip when Fred is at the wheel... Not a bad deal.. saves a lot on your vehicle.. take the bus, relax... Thanks Yankee trails for providing this service to Turning Stone casino...
Thumbs up
Absolutely awesome.
We have been waiting 2.5 hours to catch our bus home with no bus in sight and no one to contact on a Sunday. Unbelievable and extremely poor customer service. Will never transport to and from a cruise ship again. **Update it has now been 3 and a half hours we have waited for this company at their convenience!!** **5/21/19** I appreciate your response but are you aware that making phone calls and receiving texts in the middle of the ocean is not possible? We did finally receive the voicemail upon our arrival in NJ stating that the bus would be there at 10am (many of the other passengers did not receive anything)1 hour post disembarkrment, no big deal I can handle that eventhough Yankee Trails was the only bus company that DID NOT accommodate a 9am dismembarknent. But the bus did not show up until a little after 12pm!! 12pm!! There was no one to call because it was Sunday and for all we knew we could have been stranded at that point! We waited almost an hour for another ship to unload before we could leave which brought us to a 1pm start, when it should have been our finish. Needless to say Sunday's events put a damper on at least 100 passengers ending to a great vacation.
Just sit back and ride
Buses galore
Easy to make reservation for our upcoming cruise
I love yankee trails! The buses are the nicest out of all the local bus companies and the people are super nice and accommodating. Highly recommend them!
Good day trips sporting events etc
I CANNOT THANK BLYTHE ENOUGH FOR ALL SHE DID FOR ME. FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER'S COLLEGE GRADUATION, I PURCHASED TICKETS ON YT TO SEE "PHANTOM OF THE OPERA" IN NYC. THE WEEK BEFORE, IT WAS CANCELED. I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED AND DIDN'T WANT TO DISAPPOINT MY GRANDDAUGHTER. BLYTHE GOT US ON ANOTHER "MY WAY" BUS AND ALSO ARRANGED TO GET THE TICKETS. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND I AM SO GRATEFUL TO HER TO GO OUT OF HER WAY TO HELP ME. THANK YOU BLYTHE. GEN AND GRANDDAUGHTER GEN
I have been on two, one day tours first one was the Light House Tours in Newport, RI great time met some really nice people. The Tour Guide Becky made the trip a lot of Fun, She handed out snacks, played Trivia games, and we had an all around great time and the tour itself and Newport was AWESOME The second tour was Quincy Market in Boston with my Husband. Great time but that had no Tour Guide, which was ok. The only Complaint I had was, in the Bathroom there was no water for handwashing or Hand sanitizer So needless to say when I was in Boston I bought some. Will definitely go on more tours with this company
I booked a trip with Yankee Trails for my seniors, we had Renee Baler as our driver and she was wonderful!!!! Yankee Trails is so good to work with
Trip to the Port was great Coming back was terrible !! One bus came to early people weren't off the ship yet 2nd bus was 3 hours later than the time I was told it would be at the pick up point, no communication. People we're getting anxious and tired of standing and waiting in the heat then everyone that the first bus didn't wait to pick up had to fit on the second bus. Not enough room in the suitcase storage area d/t the extra people and suitcases had to be put on seats in the bus.
Been with a group tour 2 times using Yankee Trails Coaches.. All went well with a great coach captain
Used to be good not anymore!!! USE ANOTHER CHARTER. We arrived today at 6:33 for a 7:15 pick up in Albany for Boston Aquarium . There was a bus already there and we are like "that can't be it". My husband walked towards the bus to ask and the driver shut the door and drove off. I paid 140.00 for the trip. We sat until 8am!! The next bus we asked if it was it and the lady was rude and said no "Ellis Island". The driver of that bus didn't know how to even lower it. Unprofessional and not courteous at all. Why would the driver come so early?! And shut the door when someone is approaching the bus?! I'm calling the BBB and getting my money back some how!!! I've never had a problem in the past. We arrived almost 45 min early!! I have a pic confirmation of the pick up time handy! It was a Mother's Day trip and now ruined!! Can't even call anyone until 9!! Never again!!
We use them for our travel agent and are extremely pleased with that service and the bus service. All their employees are so nice and helpful.
My young son sneakers were left on the bus accidentally after a camping trip. I called immediately and ironically the pair of sneakers are no where to be found.
Wasn't the best organized. Bus was old. Driver was not well trained.
Had a great two day vacation for 69.00 which included the bus trip meals, and overnight at the Tropicana... Can't beat the price
The only way to travel for the games YANKEES here we come
I do most of my traveling with them
My daughter and her friends took the yankee trails to Bronx zoo this morning on 8/12/2017. The bus was late by half hour suppose at 7:30 am but left at 8:00 am. Never on time!!
IVE TAKEN YANKEE TRAILS BUS LINE MANY, MANY TIMES IN THE PAST. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SATISFIED EXCEPT FOR ONE TRIP TO BOSTON RECENTLY, WHEN THE DRIVER WAS MORE INTERESTED IN TALKING WITH THE ESCORT, THAN KEEPING HIS EYES ON THE ROAD. HE ALSO WASN'T GOOD WITH THE BOSTON 5PM TRAFFIC, EITHER. HOWEVER, THIS WAS JUST ONE BAD EXPERIENCE OUT OF AT LEAST 30 OTHER TRIPS. THE COMPANY IS VERY WILLING TO ACCOMODATE THE CUSTOMER, IF THERE ARE ANY SPECIAL SEATING REQUESTS, AND THE MAJORITY OF THE DRIVERS ARE PLEASANT AND HELPFUL. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YANKEE TRAILS!!!!!!
I had a issue with my trip and the company looked into the problem right away. The person that I spoke to was pleasant and understanding. I commend her for trying to rectify the problem. I edited my review because she tried to make things right for me and I am willing to give them a second chance but it still doesn't change the fact that what happened was wrong. I hope that they make some changes so this never happens to another customer again.
Took trip to yankee stadium with little league. Seats have zero leg room and recline less then airplane seats. WiFi only supported 12 connections on a bus with over 40 people. Bathroom door did not lock and window shade kept flying up. Not sure this is the norm for all their busses but I’d have rather driven myself as it was very long trip with inability to get comfortable.
A great way to book and travel on day trips and for cruises. We did a day trip a couple of weeks ago, have a cruise booked for next week and have a day trip booked for the end of the month. They take good care of you!
very Nice place...lots of thing to do there
Yankee Trails travel agent takes the worries from me for my trips! Have booked since 2006.
Pleasant staff and very helpful with my travel plans
Bus broke down on our way back from the NYC port after it was late picking us up. Bus driver not informative as to what was happening.
