Go With Jo Tours & Travel - Harlingen, Texas

We set up our tour on 2/9/23 for 2/16/23 to King Ranch. We arrived at the pick up spot at Harlingen Convention Center at 6:45 am for departure at 7am. We waited until just after 7:30 a.m. No bus ever showed up. I hope she knows she will be returning our $230!! Will NOT use her again. Very unprofessional!

We had trouble finding her office because it is in her home. No signage and no house number on the mailbox. This should have been our first clue to turn around and leave.

This is to let all Winter Texans to beware of Go With Jo! We took the San Antonio trip and it’s the worst trip we’ve ever been on. First day we were literally dropped off at an open air market for 31/2 hours (55 degrees outside). The restaurant wait was 2 hours, and the tour guide disappeared! The second day, we toured a mission and then dropped of at the Alamo for another 3 hours where the tour guide conveniently disappeared. The third and final day he finally admitted he didn’t have an itinerary and thought we’d be home by 6! We bought all our meals except one! We all got to sit at the hotel because nobody knew what we were doing! I want my money back and so do several other couples, but Go with Jo isn’t answering! We’ve just discovered that the restaurant that they booked for us to have lunch has canceled our reservation!

Just finished a Northern Mexico Go With Jo birding tour (post Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival trip) and had a great time. Bit of a mix up on starting times is the only reason it is not a 5 star (I think 5 star should be perfect!). Bus was clean, had wifi and charging stations. Driver was excellent, Go With Jo rep was excellent even though he wasn't feeling 100% and the birding guides were all exceptional. All in all a wonderful 5 day trip.

When I called they were just making arrangements for a tour to Eagle Pass Casino. The lady I spoke with was very nice. They were just starting to make arrangements for a tour and would call me back. She did and was very professional, gave all details of tour and very courteous.

I recommend you do not "GowithJo" to Mexico. My wife and I recently took their 6 day tour to San Miguel de Allende. While this tour is well-designed it was very poorly executed. Due to insurance difficulties, crossing the border was done via taxi both ways. On the return trip this included a one and three-quarter hour backup on the Hidalgo bridge. The taxi ride is a poor way to begin or end the trip. The tour guide provided minimal information, and once left behind four members of the tour when leaving a destination. The bus driver drove distracted by using his cell phone while driving. One of the main destinations of the tour was skipped, San Luis Potosi, because the hotel reservations were canceled. The recovery plan implemented involved a 2nd stop in Guanajuato with tour members left on their own for the day and with an overnight stay. This resulted in a 16 1/2 hour drive on the final day of the tour, ending with the extended taxi ride with carry-on luggage on your lap. On the positive side the hotel in San Miguel de Allende was exceptionally good.

Unprofessional drivers, went on a school trip to DC so 2 buses were used bus #1 for boys and bus # 2 for girls. Drivers for bus #2 kept arguing with each other. Older driver for bus 2 had to follow bus #1, at one point bus #1 mistakenly exited and bus #2 was on left lane passing, when driver realized other bus exited he immediately wanted to exit, Semi trucks on right lanes started honking, we nearly crashed. Bus #2 had 39 female teenagers and 3 adult females, so being told to limit our use of the restroom on board for extreme emergencies ( even urinating) was upsetting. @ fuel stops they would get upset when we wanted to get off the bus to use the restroom.
Drivers (bus 2) kept bragging they were professionals yet did not act like it. Older driver (bus 2) would turn left while traffic light was red, kept running red lights, hardly used turning signals to change lanes, at night he would drive in center of both lanes. While in DC both drivers (bus 2) started arguing, we thought they were going to pull over to fist fight, it was uncomfortable and scary.
One of the stops was @ a truck stop and the older driver for bus 1 yelled @ us to get out of game room because it was for professional drivers like himself and not students.

Go with Jo is an amazing traveling agency's. She books with the best. I've traveled with her for the last three years and I wouldn't use anyone else.
