From the moment we landed to the moment we got home, every detail was handled: flights, hotels, private transfers to and from airports/train stations/hotels, you name it, Bliss took care of it. My wife and I were free to just enjoy the ride and make memories. They checked in multiple times to make sure things were going smoothly, and made it clear we could reach out at any time if something went sideways. I would highly recommend Dominique and Bliss Travel Service if you're looking for a personalized and well organized trip!

In 24 hours he had another flight booked for me and also helped me get a refund with my insurance. Having a travel agent that care so much about your trip puts your mind at ease. He also found me alternative planes on my way to Toulouse in case I missed my connecting flight. They are my permanent travel agency!

Most recently, I reached out to them to plan a kid-friendly Caribbean cruise. With just that one request, Valyo delivered an epic itinerary--a transatlantic cruise starting in Lisbon, crossing through the Caribbean, and ending in Galveston. What truly sets them apart is their unmatched knowledge of air travel, paired with their genuine passion for exploring the world. As flight attendants for two major U.S. airlines, they bring a level of insider expertise that most travel agents simply can't offer. I'm forever grateful for their dedication, hard work, and the fact that they're always just a message away. If you're looking for a travel agent who really gets it, Valyo and Tony are your guys!

We had some issues with 2 tours that we booked through Ride the Wave and Jim was fast to respond and assist. One of the tours we ended up having to cancel due to scheduling issues. I reached out to Jim to let him know and he worked on getting the refund process started right away and I received a confirmation email from the tour vendor the same day. We're now just waiting for it to get credited back to our card. The peace of mind of our trip being taken care of by professionals is invaluable. I can't recommend enough going through a travel agency for big trips because you just never know what could happen. Ride the Wave is as good as they come and I'm looking forward to using their services again for our next big trip!

The resort itself caused my wife to get sick and ruined the honeymoon but upon our return to the United States, Sharon had put forth a tremendous effort to refund as much of our money as possible. The resort refunded an unsubstantial amount and we asked Sharon to reexamine our case. Without hesitation, Sharon submitted another inquiry. It is very clear that the employees at Ultimate All-Inclusive travel really care about the well-being and happiness of their customers. I would suggest this agency to friends.

She spent a night in the hospital and then several more in another care facility. I even bought the insurance just in case and after months of fighting with them (and Generali Global Assistance, thier insurace carrier) they denied my reimbursement. My fiance has special needs and they have proven that THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU nor customer service. I provided them all the Dr's notes and requested back up documentation and they still denied our claim. ZERO STARS. Use a another source like an airline directly or a travel planner even if you have to spend more you will be glad you did by investing in a company that is trustworthy and has integrity, NOT EXPEDIA who takes advantage of the mentally ill.

If it wasn't for Karen and her relentless fight on our behalf, we would have been out $7,000 for a cruise that was cancelled and rescheduled 3 times! And yes...we bought travel insurance. The cruise line wanted to give us FCC's instead of a refund. Karen fought for us until the cruise line buckled and finally agreed to provide us a full refund! Now...for the GOOD news!! Although we are not able to take the cruise we wanted (due to Canada water ports being closed until at least 02/2022), Karen helped us find a GREAT vacation package that takes us to our intended destination...ALASKA! Karen and her associate, Andrea are both professional, personable, and well-informed on the day-to-day changes and updates to the travel industry. We were updated regularly, and received timely responses when we reached out. This was our first time using a travel agent, and I don't know why anyone would NOT choose to use this service, as there's no additional cost to the consumer. I think the best part of having Karen and Andrea help us was their knowledge of so many small details of the trip we were booking. From the excursion experience to the quality of the hotels, these ladies were able to make recommendations based on their own personal travel experiences, and the shared experiences of their other customers. They're a wealth of knowledge, with a friendly face! What more could you ask for?! :)
