Thank you for always making my life easier. They are very quick to help, and do not give up until our executives are happy. I would like to also mention Sandy Fell. She recently helped me with some group booking out of the country, and everything went flawlessly. I know it's not easy to coordinate with international hotels, and Sandy was very responsive and thorough. I will continue to use Malmberg travel and I would highly suggest it for any travel needs whether big or small. Thank you Sandy, Beth & Mark!

Absolutely amazing…read more We started our journey in Reykjavik with 22 other couples from the States. Our tour guide, Sol, was great! She was a native Icelander and provided us both information and hands on experience in Iceland. The mountains are beautiful and scenic, the water is pristine, and the sky is really a rich royal color. The historic architecture is well preserved and the land is spacious and uncluttered with urban sprawl. The Icelandic People are extremely friendly and their food, especially their fish and chips are the absolute best I've ever had the good fortune of tasting, and their fries would certainly make Ronald McDonald cry! The fries are fresh and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and certainly not like the ones we get here, where they are crunchy in the outside and harder on the inside. The journey was certainly one off off our bucket list, and deserving of a revisit soon!

Odyssey's Unlimited tour of Southern Italy & Sicily…read more As far as we are concerned it was not a pleasant experience at all! Starting from the flights which were the worst due to the economy seats, times, missed connection because we were not allowed enough time to get through the airport, customs, gates, etc. Discovery Airlines was the lowest of the low as far as service, accommodations and comfort. Missing 2 days of our tour really put a damper on our trip. The food on the trip was not at all what we expected from Odyssey after hearing "5 star - everything included " - 5 star? 2 at best! We spent more time on a bus than we expected. At least 3 days we were on for 5-6 hours. The day trips 2 hours each way. Then stopping at gas stations or truck stops to use the restrooms was disgusting. When we had time to ourselves we were left in tourist traps to "shop". How many magnets and aprons do we need to buy? The food as I mentioned was disappointing. One night we were served a bowl of beans, half a boiled potato and a boiled piece of chicken. When we mentioned it to our tour director she said "It's the food of the region." We had two nice dinners with the group. The rest of the time we had meager portions and basic food. We enjoyed our dinners on our own better. I hate to say that this experience has squashed my desire to travel with Odysseys ever again. We have traveled with Trafalger to Rome and Tuscany and the experience was far better. Motor coach w/bathrooms, better restaurants and a more lively and exciting tour. I am disappointed with the value and experience of this trip for the money we paid. When you are counting the days until you get home, that tells you it wasn't a good fit for us.

Buyer Beware: Forced Zelle Payments for Flight Changes: I am giving this company 1 star only…read morebecause there is no option to give zero. Honestly, my experience was far worse and does not deserve even a single star. I genuinely do not understand how this company operates for U.S. customers. I needed to change the date on an already ticketed flight and was fully prepared to pay the fare difference. However, despite the original ticket being purchased using a credit card, this agency refused to accept any payment method other than Zelle for the additional charges. We are not talking about a small amount - in my case, the payment requested was over $1,000. Expecting customers to send such large sums through Zelle, where there is little to no transaction protection, is completely unreasonable and highly unprofessional. Any legitimate travel agency handling high-value transactions should provide secure payment methods such as credit cards. What makes this situation even worse is that this "policy" was never clearly disclosed during the original booking process. Had I known upfront that future ticket changes would require unsecured Zelle payments only, I would never have booked through this agency in the first place. Every concern or question I raised was met with the same robotic response: "It is our policy." No flexibility, no customer consideration, and absolutely no accountability. The so-called discounted fares are simply not worth the stress, financial risk, and horrible customer service experience. My sincere advice to anyone considering this agency: stay away and do your research before booking. This experience has been frustrating, disappointing, and feels like a complete ripoff disguised as a discount travel deal. Don't fall into this trap.

The Russian speaking guide - Olga was above all expectation: always trying to tell and show us the most interesting things. She was all the time with us, we had absolutely wonderful time. She was thinking about everything not us, we were on real vacation. If there was an opportunity she always was offering us something interesting: like Canopy tour (zip Lining) and Nicaragua tour. We were traveling with YWT first time, but now we will consider this agency for our future travels and will recommend it to all our friends. It was really, like Costa Rican people are saying: Pura Vida

This company is a scam! The sales rep Jeremy "Jay" Rogers lies about the discounts on hotels. He…read moreguaranteed they are least 20 to 30 percent. In hindsight, I should have had him show them to me. They start off wanting $8,000for the travel package, but reduce it down to $3,000. That should've been our warning not to buy! Jay will say anything to mislead you and make the sale. We took a trip to CA and I got a measly $20 off of a five day stay. Wow! I can't believe this company is allowed to get away with that. I tried to resolve it with the Laurie, the vice president, but she more or less told me "it is what it is."She said Apollo Adventures has 300,000 clients. Are they happy clients or did they get ripped off? Regardless of what they tell you, and after paying over $3000 for a fee to join and $299 annual membership fee, you can expect to receive 2%- 5% less than prices you will find online. Don't let this company scam you!

I just read an article in the New York Times called Technology In a Self-Serve World, Start-Ups…read moreFind Value in Human Helpers. Afterwards, I felt called to update my review write about a local business whose services I use, enjoy, and feel are valuable. I think in our world of high tech, we all need services that have a personal touch. Look at the trends--companies like Stitchfix are thriving because people want to feel someone cares about them, knows them, and takes their interests, concerns, and personalities into account. (Stitchfix has stylists that learn about you and send you clothes, going after a niche market of busy women that don't want to spend time in stores. I haven't used Stitchfix so I can't recommend them personally, though I know people who have. What this points to is the trending of #Convenience. I ordered cardigans for my mom and I and it came with a beautiful handwritten note, heck even my new mattress from Casper came with a handwritten note "sleep deep." It is very nice but easy to do, but that is not building a relationship, it is a one time gesture from a cutesy marketing team. The difference behind Active Travels is the genuine caring and service tailored to you. They don't eschew technology, they blend it with their own knowledge and scores of travel writers and agents. When I went to Asheville last year, I got 10 pages from Steve about things to do and where to eat, and even to definitely order the squid ink pasta at Curate, and brunch at Biscuit Head and Sunny Point Cafe in West Asheville.This is part of why I use and recommend Active Travels, run by travel writer Steve Jermanok and his wife Lisa Leavitt who is an agent. Both are well traveled and have friends and contacts all over the globe, and better yet, they are locally based in Newton, but can be contacted from anywhere. Beyond convenience, I really feel people need more handholding than ever in these troubled times. We need to be cared for. A search engine may be efficient, but it doesn't care about you. Lisa & Steve will. Steve once joked to me that someone said to him "Why open a travel agency? You might as well become a cobbler." Well, I actually use my cobbler a lot--another local place to recommend--The Soleman in Waban, Ma. Read about them all on Yelp!
