I am a CODA customer since 2004. I have made over 10 trips with Jim and his team, visiting 4 continents with them and in excess of 25 countries and destinations. The service is very professional and dedicated, always with the best accommodations available, and an emphasis on the security and well-being of the customers; as in some places of the world, it is not always obvious for gay travelers. The choice of destinations always offers traditional and more unusual selections. My family has spent over 75 years in the tour operating business, and I know how to recognize quality when I see it. Coda is definitely a quality outfit.

Starting with a magnificent tour of China in 2008, we have traveled with CODA almost every year for the past twelve years. These tours may have been one of the well-managed group tours or private arrangements made by CODA. We love the first class, professional, and caring attention to detail we experience with CODA. CODA has exposed us to wonderful places and memorable experiences that we would have missed without their guidance. We eagerly await our next adventure with CODA.

I have traveled the world with Coda Tours and experienced many different cultures. Each local guide has offered a wealth of information on the best sites in the area. All the hotels and restaurants have been fabulous. A special treat was sitting down and eating with a local family. Of course, experiencing the trip with fellow travelers adds another dimension. I highly recommend Coda tours.

Our relationship with CODA and Jim Smith goes back to my trip on a CODA tour to India in 2005. Since then we have enjoyed multiple CODA group tours, the last of which was 2019 Arab Sheikdoms, as well as many [private] trips for just the two of us. Throughout this time, we have experienced the benefits of dealing with a well-informed and well-organized travel organization that knows our travel desires inside and out. [Our profile] photo [was] taken during an overnight houseboat trip through the Kerala Backwaters during our private 2009 India/Bhutan trip.

Coda Tours has been our travel agent for over two years and has planned two private tours for my husband and me. The first was a crossing on The Queen Mary ll from New York to Southampton. From Southampton we flew to Paris for a wonderful week in the Most beautiful city we’ve experienced. It was a thrill to revisit Paris after so many years. Coda saw to it that all connections and accommodations were to our liking. Coda arranged a second trip to Vienna, Copenhagen and Paris in May of 2019. Again, the trip went smoothly thanks to Coda. We highly recommend Coda Tours in Wellington, Florida.
