RICK is superb at what he does and made my month-long trip all over Australia an experience to…read moreremember and a breeze to organize. He bends over backwards with your preferences and needs and will accommodate any requests you have on what you're looking for, where to stay and what to do. He is reasonable, affordable and the price for the entire trip were much lower than what I was expecting. He works with whatever your travel budget is. My tours, side trips, places I stayed and cities/towns in Aus that were recommended were all outstanding and a great experience. Was gone solo for a whole month and didn't have one issue. When I travel to Europe I always plan on my own, and usually endure some hiccup or unintended setback. Even though I still did my homework on Australia, with Rick, all is taken care of and the time and headache of planning everything on your own is non-existent. Was very lucky to have found Rick while living in the South Bay. My next trip to the region will be NZ, and I will definitely be going to Rick for that trip as well. He knows this industry and particular region very well. Solid service and advice.

I can't believe it's taken me so long to finish this review! We took a family vacation to Sydney,…read moreBrisbane and Cairns in 2013. Rick carefully listened to what type of vacation our family (two teenagers and a young child) was looking forward to. He reserved incredible places to stay and pointed us in the right direction when we wanted to explore on our own.

Whenever I go visit my family in Japan, I always buy my airline tickets from IACE. As I elaborate…read morebelow, their prices are very competitive and their service is unparalleled. Fare prices: As it's expensive, I always do my homework: I check airfares online and call a couple of Japanese travel agencies in the US. Since 2008, I have only bought tickets from IACE when I travel to Japan. Japanese travel agencies tend to have better deals than airlines or other online venders, at least slightly. They also give you different rates for children, which I never get online (e.g., airlines webpages or other third party sites, like Kayak). I've always saved money buying tickets from them. Service: The agents are knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. As they are knowledgable, they can search for the best deals. Something unique about IACE is that they have a call center, which is open 24/7. Almost a decade ago, my son was hospitalized in Japan, and I had to change our tickets coming back to the US multiple times. As their call center is always open, I was able to call them without worrying about the time difference. Customer Care: When the big earthquake hit northern part of Japan in March 2011, we had planed a trip to Japan in the same month. As we were not sure if it's safe, we decided to postpone the trip (indefinitely). Under the special circumstances, we requested Delta Airlines to refund our money. They refused despite our multiple requests. IACE contacted the airline on our behalf, but they didn't budge. In the end, IACE Travel gave us back $100 per ticket out of their pocket. Although it was a fraction of what I had paid for the tickets, their gesture was priceless. Ever since, I'm a loyal customer of IACE! Recommendation: Their prices are very competitive. They also go above and beyond to help their customers. If you're planning on a trip to Japan, I strongly recommend you to give them a call. They'd be very happy to help you. They never pressure you to buy anything until you're ready.

I have not visited this location in person, but spoke to a customer service representative. She was…read morefriendly and very professional. I gave 4 stars because unlike the previous reviewer from 2022, IACE does NOT sell JR pass exchange vouchers in person at their Torrance office. They require you to purchase online from their IACE.com website and then you have to have the pass shipped to your home address and pay for that shipping. If you are in a time crunch in leave for Japan in a few days, you should just purchase the tickets in Japan or through the official JR pass website. FYI the fees are a bit higher if you purchase the passes in Japan or through the JR website.

Springboard was the go-to travel agency that our local travel agent (Red Carpet Travel, Morris, IL)…read moreused to coordinate our Anniversary trip to Fiji and Australia. All of our needs were taken into consideration in the planning of our trip. We just mentioned what we thought we would like, and Springboard coordinated it all and passed all the info on to our local Travel Agent. We were absolutely amazed that the entire trip-airline schedules, private transfers, hotels, resorts, local sight-seeing tours-everything went without a hitch! All logistics were coordinated so well that we spent our month's travel without having a worry about any of the arrangements. Our Australian Visas were also handled by Springboard, and went without a hitch, also. As seniors, we appreciated the sensitivity to what we can and cannot do physically, also. We would recommend Springboard to anyone.

Transportation and logistics went flawlessly and everything made sense from a flow perspective. There seemed to be a wide range in the quality of hotels that we stayed in, maybe due to the cost of hotels in different areas and unfortunately none of them had views (this is the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5, on other trips our travel agency worked with the hotels to get great views). Also I would ask for a "to pack" or "to bring" list for the excursions; we didn't research as well as we should have and this list would have saved us a lot of time/$$ renting clothes at various locations.
