I was recently on a 14 day tour to Ghana, Africa and London, England tour arranged by Mary, of Consolidated Tours. A couple days into the tour, Mary went from being helpful and a resource, to being rude, disdainful and dismissive of me, personally. For ex., I got in a wrong line at Heathrow airport and was subsequently, detained in a PUBLIC 'holding pen' - "look at the criminal, the TERRORIST, everybody!" It was utterly humiliating. When reunited with the group, however, not only did Mary express NO sympathy for my mortification, she didn't even ask what happened. To the contrary, she made it a point to let me (and all who had eyes and ears) know that my welfare was as nothing to her - I was insignificant? expendable? - as before I could even open my mouth to recount my experience, cut me off dismissively and 'ordered' me into another line. It was par for the course. After the first couple days of the tour, Mary was INVARIABLY rude, disrespectful, and when personal instructions were required, 'barked' them at me... once... before turning pre-emptively on her heel and walking away. To salvage 'value' for my $6,000+ tour, I kept my distance from her haughty hatefulness (what other words are there for her behavior?) for the remainder of the tour. Why the change of attitude? Why single out one PAYING customer... all of a sudden... who had the same attitude from departure to arrival, to vent her spleen upon? Was the woman young enough to be my daughter encouraged to act so ugly? Thus, I have only one caveat: if you do decide to take a tour with Consolidated Tours, watch out for Mary. With neither rhyme, reason, nor warning, she can turn on you on a dime. Btw, I give my Consolidated Tours experience 2 stars. As the proverbial one who has never had a 'bad' date in her life, i.e., give this 74 year old world traveling grannie a lemon and she will ALWAYS make lemonade, I enjoyed (most of) my first, and maybe last, tour experience.

My 14 days tour thru Ghana, Africa (the year of return) and London, England was an awesome experience. There was over a 100 travelers leaving out of O'Hare International Airport June 2019. With such a large group, one can imagine some unexpected challenges may have come up during those 14 days. And we did have some, but they were all dealt with promptly and in a satisfactory manner by Mary. The accommodations were great. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and pleasant. And I made some new friends to share my experiences with. I would not hesitate to travel again with Consolidated Tours. Phyllis A

#1 Gold Mine East of the Mississippi Voted top 10 by USA Today

Dahlonega’s Gold Rush

Massive 120-stamp mill used to remove gold from ore, est. 1880’s..

Dahlonega is proudly the site of the First Major US Gold Rush. Discovered in 1828, twenty years before the California Gold Rush. Miners used a variety of techniques to remove gold from the mountains. Early miners could simply pick nuggets from creeks or with simple panning, but as gold became more scarce mining style changed.

The mine was abandoned for 75-years, until a coal mining family from Kentucky, wishing for a change of occupation, brought new life to the mine and gave visitors a chance to expereince a turn of the century underground mine.
