My husband and I are not…read moresuper well traveled and really did not know where to start when planning our honeymoon to Ischia and Rome, Italy. After our first email correspondence with Amy we knew we were in the right hands as she immediately helped us organize all of our travel ideas and wishes into fun, tangible plans and bookings to look forward to. Amy and Bethany are incredibly creative, knowledgeable, and flawlessly organized travel designers, helping us plan each day with interesting dining reservations, wine and architectural tours etc.. excursions as well as opportunities to relax at the spa, while shopping, and by the sea/pool. They also went above and beyond and secured us the best options at each hotel we stayed at and helped us select ideal tour options. Charm & Awe's coordination, great ideas, and excitement for us for this trip was reflected in every interaction, especially in their availability and kindness in answering our many travel q's and the beautifully detailed digital itinerary they put together for us to reference before and while traveling. Amy and Bethany turned our overseas honeymoon dreams into realities and made each stage of the planning and travel process exciting, collaborative, and stress-free. So beyond grateful to Charm & Awe for this magic Italian experience and highly recommend working with these brilliant travel professionals for your next trip (we are already thinking about our next trip and opportunity to work with them again!) - Maggie & Crosby

She responded immediately each time I reached out to her - even on holidays! I felt like I had security and someone that cared about us throughout the entire process. I hands down would recommend her and her services. We will be using her to book our next trip, and all our future trips for that matter. I felt like I had a hand to hold from start to finish. I cannot say enough GREAT things about Amy and how she was there for such an important milestone in me and my husband's journey. 2 thumbs sky high for Charm and Awe/Amy! Thank you so much! Sincerely, The Frauly's

As someone with multiple jobs and a very busy life, I could not look at another hotel online without tearing my hair out. I contacted Vinny and he and I chatted about my trip, and then we had a phone consultation where we went over the particulars of our trip. He found me a reservation at the Empire Hotel which was great! It was centrally located, had amenities we needed and was within my price range! Before we left Vinny also sent me discounted deals that he thought we would like! Vinny was available during our trip to help us out! We called from the car to ask about parking at the hotel, and we called about potential travel issues on the way home. Vinny was there every step of the way! It was really great to work with him, and I will definitely be using him in the future!

Where to begin…read more Short Version: Not dependable if you have a timely event (Show up late) Awful customer service once they have your money (Excuses after excuses and passes blame to the company that they subcontracted) Drivers showing up not knowing where they are supposed to go or how to get there (passengers giving turn by turn directions) Resulted in a delayed wedding Long Version: We hired McGinn to shuttle for our wedding. I booked over a year in advance seeing as every vendor wedding related seems to book up fast. They didn't require a deposit or anything and didn't want money until just before the event. Everything leading up seemed to go very smoothly. The day of the event, and leading up to, I asked for the drivers contact information. Being that I would be occupied for the day, I wanted to get this to someone in the event something went wrong. Whether he forgot, didn't have it, or was just plan sloppy, I didn't get that until half hour before the busses were supposed to arrive and by that point I was occupied with other wedding things. So the fun begins. The agreement was the busses (2 total) were leaving the hotel to drive to the venue at 4:15. No later. Any guests that were late were to find their own ride. That how we wanted it. Only one bus shows up on time. They have 15 extra guests load the busses only to kick them off because of capacity. Not a huge deal, but you would think you might count. The 2nd bus shows up 30 minutes late. I had people calling me while I was doing pictures, etc because they weren't sure if we had a ride that we promised. So we had people ordering ubers, driving when they didn't want to drive (they plan on drinking), and other standing around in confusion. Sort of embarrassing. Finally they load the 2nd bus and the bus driver has no idea where he is going. Not only lacking directions, he literally didn't know what the venue was. Passengers had to put directions into their phone and guide him. I called Jim at McGinns, my point of contact, and he decided to pass the whole thing off on traffic for being late. Guy, you run a transportation company. Its a Friday in Boston. You think you would give yourself enough time and not be shocked by some traffic. Keep in mind this was a pick up in Danvers, so not running around the streets of Boylston and normally a 25 min drive for them). The bus should have given themselves enough time to get there at 3:45 considering it also takes time to load passengers if you are leaving at 4:15. At worse the traffic doubles the time it would have taken them to get there and they still arrive at 4:15. Everyone else was on time except the bus so I'm not sure how much traffic there really was. He then wanted to pass the blame off to the company he subcontracted to. Jim, 1) not my problem we booked 1 year and advance and then you were subcontracting. 2) we sent you the money, not whoever you hired. Responsibility stays with you. Business 101. I didn't want to ask for much in return, just something for them to admit some guilt and realize they made a mistake. A couple hundred bucks wasn't going to change our lives or theirs, but I wanted to make them admit their mistakes. Anytime Jim said he would call me back, he wouldn't. He said he would have the owner call, he didn't. I can't tell if its the mistakes they made or how they handled it that were worse. STAY AWAY

My child's middle school contracted P&B for a school trip from Beverly, MA to Charlton, MA. Upon…read morereturn, while waiting for my child, I witnessed the driver yanking out bags and throwing them, at least 10 feet away from the bus, into a pile. Bags were all over the place. He just yanked them out with a pole that had a hook on the end, picked them up and threw them. My daughter's brand new digital camera was smashed because of the driver's negligence. She didn't even get to take photos during her trip because of how the bags were thrown. She told me that the driver smashed it when they arrived on the first day of the trip. She's very upset over this, as am I, because she was not able to take photos during her week long trip. The $100 camera could be replaced, my child having photos of her and her friends on a once in a lifetime trip can not be replaced.
