I booked long trips w/ them w/ no problem, and my husband used them for our honeymoon. If you get Ted or Patty, they were very helpful. But I don't know what's happened to them recently, if they are too busy or understaffed or what, but we tried to book a beach vacation over spring break and the travel agent who I never dealt with before, (Micky) was so incredibly rude and just kept telling me how last min. it was and then never got back to me. I even followed up and then nothing. If you can't help me, at least be polite enough to say so so I can move on. Don't lecture me and then not help me. We decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and try to contact Ted directly this time since he helped us before and we didn't hear back from him for a few days before that same awful travel agent contact us to say he was out of town. I kind of wish we got an automated response at least. Fortunately we don't use travel agents that often, but when we do we won't be using these guys anymore.

I can't say enough good things about Paige. She is charming and wonderful and her help in planning our first trip to Europe was invaluable. As a well traveled explorer herself, she is a wealth of knowledge and first hand experience. She took our quirky, leisurely vacay style and ran with it, planning an itinerary that was tailored just for us. No cookie cutter cliché vacation packages here! Having never been "across the pond" before I had a lot of questions about traveling, etiquette and how to use "The Tube" (hey, I am from Phoenix. We aren't exactly known for our metro system). She happily answered everything and helped us prepare by providing us with neighborhood guides, packing lists and a detailed itinerary. She checked in on us throughout our trip to make sure that we had what we needed and that things were going smoothly at each junction. There were some train strikes while we were in France and she was proactive and found alternative means of transportation in the event that our trains were cancelled (which thankfully we didn't need to resort to). But instead of panicking about how we were going to get to Paris the next day we were able to enjoy our last evening in London knowing we would have a backup plan. Knowing that Paige had thought of everything and had our backs made this a completely stress free vacation. Thank you Paige! I can't wait to plan our next BIG adventure, together!

It was the first time any of us had been to Italy, and also the first time we brought our kids anywhere international. Our trip could not have gone more smoothly! She helped us with everything from booking hotels and car transportation that were accommodating to our big group, to setting up private tours that were kid friendly. It was a big trip traveling to 2 cities and organizing flights and trains and hotels for each location. On top of ALL of that, we originally had planned to travel to Sorrento, but a month prior to our trip, I decided to shorten it by one city. She was able to cancel everything, change our flights, book new transportation, and help us with the refund process. I could not have done this without her! I highly, highly recommend!

We had a few…read morespeedbumps pulling the trigger on this trip for health reasons but Kait patiently waited for us to find the right time and planned a trip that proved to be well worth the wait! Her attention to detail before, during and after the trip was unparalleled and she saw to it that things ran seamlessly. The itinerary was planned with care and consideration of our preferences and the hotels, excursions and even connections were arranged with us and our desires in mind. As I've said before, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kait and Roam Travel to others or to call upon them for any future trips whether they be a few states away or across the world (well at least as far as I am willing to sit on a plane for lol!).

It was our first time traveling in Europe and she made the whole experience seamless and stress free. At every location we were greeted by a private driver, we had the most beautiful boutique accommodations, and each of our private tours was better than the last. She elevates travel to provide you with a one of a kind personal and immersive experience. I feel like we got to know Croatia better than any other place we've been and now I don't want to travel any other way!

He goes ABOVE AND BEYOND what he needs to do. He plans the air, airline seats, last minute changes, cruise arrangements around Norway and Amsterdam.

On top of that he arranged the transportation to Disney Euro in Paris where we stayed another 4 days and obtained park passes which he managed as well. I can't say enough on how personal and professional Dave is - please use him as you wont have to research anything or arrange as he is a one-stop shopping. We will use again and again and again. Thanks again, Dave.
