If you're currently searching for a travel agent and may have missed my earlier review from a few…read moreyears ago, let me say this clearly up front: after many more trips since then, my opinion hasn't changed -- if anything, it's stronger. Val Kittson of Connoisseur Travel, Ltd. continues to be the only travel professional I trust with my trips, both domestic and international. Over the years she has planned numerous journeys for me, and every single one has reflected careful thought, expertise, and attention to detail. Her technology alone sets her apart. The app she provides keeps us informed in real time and has often had updates before the airline ticket counter even knew what was happening. That level of preparedness removes stress and gives us confidence wherever we are in the world. What truly elevates her service, though, is the work she does behind the scenes. When we travel internationally, she doesn't just assign guides -- she personally interviews them before recommending them. So far, every guide she has selected for us has been a 10 out of 10, which speaks volumes about her standards and her commitment to her clients' experiences. Some people may think they can plan trips themselves or rely on AI tools. As a software architect, I use AI every day and appreciate what it can do. But I can promise you this: AI won't give you the insider knowledge, trusted relationships, and human insight that can turn a great trip into a truly unforgettable one. Val provides that difference. I am already planning trips for 2027 and 2028, and she is my only consideration. I trust her recommendations completely based on the itineraries I provide, and I know she will translate them into experiences that exceed expectations. I plan to share this review in multiple places because I genuinely hope it helps as many travelers as possible find the kind of trusted expertise that has made such a difference for me. If you want seamless planning, trusted guidance, and someone who truly invests in your travel experience, I recommend Val without hesitation. Val Kittson Connoisseur Travel, Ltd.

We had a wonderful experience working with Katie Buckley of Connoisseur Travel to plan our Italy…read morevacation. She put together a seamless multi-city itinerary for five travelers, arranging three rooms in each city along with private drivers, transportation, guides, and tours. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and the hotels were all well-appointed and comfortable. What stood out most was the excellent coordination between drivers and guides, which made the entire trip feel effortless. All our drivers were friendly, knowledgeable, punctual, and safe, which gave us great peace of mind throughout the journey. The Connoisseur app was also incredibly helpful, providing preparation information before the trip and clear daily itinerary details with specific timing. I highly recommend Katie Buckley of Connoisseur Travel to anyone looking for a well-organized, high-quality travel experience in Italy.

I'd give them six-stars if possible…read more They were very responsive to all my questions even before I paid them anything--before I even became a client. But here's something they don't advertise that is of GREAT VALUE: They can help you get your visa done FASTER than if you went through the process yourself because they are more connected with the consult than we are. Therefore if it normally takes a month to go through the application process, they can actually get it done in a week if you have all your stuff together. They don't advertise this but it's of great value.

I cannot speak to the entire organization of TravelVisa Pro, because we have been dealing primarily…read morewith one person. So it is important to note that SHE gets five stars, and TravelVisa Pro is fortunate to have her around. The agent our hiring company initially assigned to us was busy one afternoon, so the receptionist (fortunately) put us through to an available agent, Christen Werner. She was so attentive, thorough, and immediate with her responses that my wife and I have dealt solely with her since then. Christen has been patient as we have been awaiting documents from various agents but yet has sent everything that has come across her desk immediately to the relevant visa issuing authorities at the Saudi Embassy. She has kept us up to date with each development in the process, even as some parties have (such as the registrar of my wife's alma matter ) submitted incorrect documentation and we had to wait for another set to be sent. My wife and I have taught overseas for over six years and the most frustrating thing is navigating multiple bureaucracies while having minimal feedback while your future is being held in the hands of strangers. Travel Visa Pro has been a breath of fresh air during this process that would otherwise be so frustrating. It will be a year before our family and friends see us again and we have enjoyed spending time with them in a mental state of peace. It is well worth the cost to not only have the visa process expedited but to have the peace and presence of mind in the last few weeks at home before you say goodbye for another year.

***AVOID USING THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. "CONCIERGE" PROMISES NOT MET AND NO FULL REFUND. IT WILL…read moreBE CHEAPER AND FASTER FOR YOU TO JUST GO TO THE CONSULATE YOURSELF.*** This was my first time using Travel Visa Pro. I decided to give it a shot because I had a last minute business trip come up that required me getting my China visa. I had about 30 days to do it. When I put in my application, and paid extra for the "concierge services," my agent John Sisson told me I could expect around a 2 week turn around. He also gave me a list of documents to submit, which I did. I should also note, HE insisted I sent my expired Taiwanese passport, which I (and even the resolutions manager, Ruta, who admitted it to me over the phone) believed messed up my entire application. After the 2nd week mark, I started getting multiple strange requests for more and more documentation. This included a "statement" for 1) a "travel" document 2) "name change," which I've never had... 3) AND THEN, John came back and said they also wanted my birth certificate AND copies of both my parents' passports. This was ludicrous - all my Taiwanese American friends, along with my Taiwanese dad who has done visas for my family - never encountered this. They were all stunned that this was happening. The core problem is that I'm estranged from my biological mom's side of the family. I've also never had a birth certificate since I've kept a US passport all my life for I-9 employment, travel, identity verification, etc., and never had the need a birth cert. Never mind that it would be IMPOSSIBLE for me to get a copy of my biological mom's passport (assuming she even has one, or is still alive), I came to find after placing an order for a birth cert with California that it could take up to 14 weeks or more to receive. Since I couldn't afford to wait 14 weeks, I told Lester Sisson my situation. His response was basically, "Well, too bad, that's what the consulate wants." Then I told him and John I needed a refund since their service caused me to cancel my trip. After having to follow up a few times, they put me in contact with Ruta Stankus, the resolutions manager. I discussed everything with Ruta, and how upset I was about this whole situation. And that's where she told ME that she agreed we never should have sent the consulate my expired Taiwanese passport. She (and Lester, in writing - **see attached photo**) also said that recently, Travel Visa Pro has had lots of issues recently with getting dual Taiwanese-American citizens their China visas. She told me over the phone that she would get my passports back, along with a full refund. I did get my passports back, but they refunded me "the consulate fee" and "10% of the service fee." I asked them for a full refund, but Ruta basically blamed it on me and said YOU withdrew your application, so basically it's your fault. Needless to say, I am REALLY upset. I paid for "concierge" services and because of THEIR delays and incompetence, I had to cancel an overseas business trip. My bigger concern is, if Lester and Ruta are telling me they're KNOWINGLY seeing China visa delays with dual citizens "all the time," THEN WHY WAS I NOT WARNED BEFOREHAND THAT IT COULD TAKE LONGER THAN 2 WEEKS? It's as if they were surprised that it did, and then when it did, and I subsequently had to cancel my trip, and then withdrew my application, they blamed it on me for not just waiting another 14 weeks to maybe hopefully get my birth certificate. Who knows if I would have gotten random mysterious requests for more documentation and that a birth certificate, 14 weeks from now, would even settle it? So, I've wasted one month, had to cancel/rearrange a bunch of my business plans, and pay for the agency's dishonesty/incompetence with the turn around time. They also stopped responding to my emails asking for a refund. DO NOT USE AT ALL COSTS. THEY WOULD RATHER STEAL YOUR $400 THAN PAY FOR THEIR OWN FAILED SERVICE. I only used them to save myself a trip from having to fly to the consulate myself, but now it would have been faster and cheaper to have just done it myself.

Everything fell into place from the airport pickup clear though my airport drop-off. In the process, I experienced the trip of a lifetime that far exceeded my expectations which included terrific guided tours of major visitor destinations, scrumptious accommodations, horseback riding through wine country, and a safari experience that knocked my socks off.

Reason for using a tour guide is It's extremely crowded at the Visitors Center, and constant crowds of students on field trips to learn about our branches of government. The DC by Foot guides are very knowledgeable, they know where to go in the Capitol. The guide I had got House Gallery passes for our group and the commemorative 250 yr (US Semi quincentennial) admission tickets. I learned you can tell if the House or Senate is in session by looking to see if the flag is raised or not on the House or Senate side. The other part of the tour is watching a presentation then going with the US Capitol guides in red jackets and using audio to view the art and history. I also liked the souvenir shop there too so I got commemorative 250 items.
