Has anyone used them before and if so how would you rate them and the hotels they used.<BR>Thanks for any info.

I have used them for a fly drive vacation and they provided everything they said they would at a reasonable price. Have not stayed at any of their hotels.

We booked New Years trip to Paris last year with go-today. Grat trip! Everything was exactly as advertised. Good value for $. I booked the least expensive hotel and it turned out to be a very pleasant hotel in Montparness within a short walk to the Metro. We had paris at out finger tips. <BR><BR>Transfer service was excellent.<BR><BR>a special bonus (pure luck), we got bumped up to firsrt class on the flight back to JFK.<BR>If I lived in NY I would book with go-today twice a year. Unforunately, add-on airfare jacks up the overall cost. <BR><BR>

We used go-today to book a London 3-night stay in May 2000. Our flight was on Virgin and our hotel was Jury's Clifton Ford. Service was excellent and the hotel was actually at a reduced rate since it was doing construction on some floors. We never heard the construction and managed to have a suite rather than some of the smaller, more typical rooms. We had no problems with the airline or the hotel.<BR><BR>We have since recommended go-today to friends who did the Venice/Florence/Rome package. They generally had a wonderful trip, but experienced delays at their transfer airport in Germany and were disappointed in the room size at their Venice hotel. They had chosen the cheapest package &amp; we have decided that perhaps that was part of the issue.<BR><BR>Often we simply cannot beat their deals &amp; the website comes highly recommended from Frommers. You may want to search their site as well for recommendations.<BR><BR>

We've used them twice, for a week in London in January 2000, and for a fly-drive trip to Italy in 2001. Both trips were great, all just as advertised. I've just now booked their London New Year's trip.<BR><BR>Our London hotel in 2000 was the Royal Sussex -- the room was really tiny. We'll be at a Ramada this time, and from the picture on the Web, I'm expecting it to be much bigger.<BR><BR>For our Italy trip, go-today provided the air and rental car arrangements, not the hotels. The car was just what we wanted; the rental agency was just fine.<BR><BR>I'd recommend them highly.

With airline prices what they were over the summer, we found that using Go-today got us airline tickets and hotel for less than tickets on our own! We were a little worried by doing everything over the internet, but it went without a hitch. We liked the Hotel Diana in Venice very much. The room was nice, we were 1/2 block off San Marco. Strangely, though, the pictures that they use for the Diana are not pictures of that hotel. It has a car parked out front! After our Go-today stay in Venice, we were traveling on to Naples on our own and out of Rome later, and they let us fly into Venice and out of Rome with no problem or extra cost.

I also recommend Go-today for a good value in flight/hotels combination. We took Go-today to London Nov 2001 and took the lowest catagory hotel, The Queen's Park Hotel. Good hotel in a great location, near Queensway in Bayswater, an area I prefer to stay. We could not have gotten the flight (BOS-GAT) and 6 nights hotel for $ 499.00 (inc tax) on our own. We are repeating the &quot;Girls Just Want to Have Fun&quot; tour to London again in Nov with GO-today. This time we extended the return by a few days (with out hotel) so we could go out of London on our own- and it would have cost nothing more to fly back at a later date, except we go back on a Sunday...so $ 50.00 more, which is what any airline charges for weekends.<BR>I only have good things to say about them, and if you have questions, a more complicated travel schedule or just plain don't like doing it all on the net..call them. It is only $ 20.00 more to makearrangements by phone. As to hotels, all can be researched on the net, and of course, the higher catagory you pick the better the hotel, but I find the lower ones perfectly acceptable. We wanted the Central Park Hotel in the same street as our hotel last year, but were offered the Paragon in Earl's Court as our choice was sold out. Took the alternate hotel without any qualms,for the same price as the old one. The new choice looks far more splendid !!<BR>The hotel tansfer service is a nice plus, and got us into and out of London just fine.<BR><BR>Only 16 more days to London!!<BR>Judy,who used to be in Germany

Judy - I've booked with them for a trip to London next March and was wondering what the transfer was. Is it a van, tickets for the train, etc? All it says on the web site is &quot;airport transfer&quot; but that can mean different things. Just wondering if you could explain it. Thanks

Ann,<BR><BR>Our transfer was a minivan without other passengers. The driver met us just outside of the customs area. He was great and very helpful considering our flight was delayed by 5 hours and we were absolutely exhausted after the late start out of the US and no sleep on the plane.

Crusty,<BR><BR>What is the name of the hotel that you stayed at? Did you call ahead and request a particular room or just accepted what they gave you?

Ann:<BR><BR>The transfer is with a mini van, the company last year was Hotel Link and the vouchers for this year's trip are also with Hotel Link. They meet you at the air port at the customs/arrivals exit and take you and any others they are meeting into London and drop you off at your hotel.<BR>Leaving London, the van picks you up at your hotel-the time is already on the voucher and they drop you at the airport, at your terminal. Service was swift as traffic allows and prompt!!<BR><BR>They had several vans leaving at one from Gatwick and sorted the passangers by hotel location, so we did not do too much hopscotching from hotel to hotel. Time from Gatwick to hotel in Bayswater, about 75 min. including rush hour traffic..<BR><BR>Hope this helps.<BR><BR>Judy, no longer in Germany

Thanks for all your help. I guess I should have asked this in the begining but what hotel did you take? Am having a hard time figuring which one. Thanks again.

When will go-today.com start posting Summer 2003 packages?

Renee, <BR>I believe the name of the hotel was Comfor Abaca. They assign rooms as guests arrive. The two times I've been to Paris the front desk person looked at all of our luggage then gives us the largest room availble. <BR><BR>The room had a small space off to the side with an extra bed which was very convenient. I could tell by the floor plan on the wall that is was bigger than all of the other rooms on the floor. <BR><BR><BR><BR>

Linda,<BR><BR>Go-today is about a season/season &amp; a half out. I've generally found that they start posting a particular season's trips prolifically once the airlines have put out their first airfare sales for a season. You may start seeing some as soon as January.
