Particularly good in events ticketing, even the Hot Ticket stuff, he's also skilled at getting best hotel and transportation rates. And of course he has an App. As you build your itinerary each step is loaded into your App for your easy reference and auto updating if changes are later made. Just when I thought 'Travel Agent' was about to be dropped from the OED, along comes James to male travel easy again.

I work for a tour operator that specializes in music based youth travel. In our experience over…read morethe years, one of the most tricky aspects of an itinerary is finding a reliable tour guide that can easily relate to musical student groups and hold their attention with interesting facts about a city. San Diego Professional Tour Guide Association was easily the best experience I've had in finding and contracting a local tour guide. Not only was my initial inquiry received and prioritized promptly, but the tour guide I ended up contracting for my group did a phenomenal job. Bianca Jaime knew San Diego very well and did a stellar job engaging the kids. She was also very organized in the setup of the tour and accommodated all of the different sights in the group's itinerary. One thing to take away from this is the word "Professional" in their company name. This is indeed a company of honest professionals and I would go back to them for another tour in a heart beat. They are now my go-to San Diego tour guides.

We found Kleon…read morethrough the Wendy Perrin website and have been blown away by his attention to detail, thoughtful suggestions, and impeccable planning. He suggested we go to the Cook Islands... which weren't necessarily on our radar... but ended up being the PERFECT suggestion!! We had the most incredible time and all of it was due to Kleon's excellent understanding and knowledge. All of his recommendations matched what we were looking for exactly. And the way he structured the flow of the trip was perfect too. We had plenty of time for relaxing, activities, and exploring. It was such a memorable Christmas. We can't wait to book another trip with Kleon!

We initially contacted Kleon after reading a glowing review in Conde Nast traveler and, after exchanging emails and speaking with him, sent in a deposit to begin working with him. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the service we were then provided. We did not feel that the activities, hotels, or room types were any different than what we had already seen online and the prices were actually much more than what was advertised on the hotels' websites. We asked for different variations but the price never came down. During this process, another travel agent that we had contacted previously got back to us with an itinerary and price that were much better. We asked for our down payment back which was refused very nastily. I even offered to split it recognizing that he had done at least some work for us which was also refused. In the end, we went with the other agent, had a great experience, and paid less even factoring in the $1000 we lost to The Art of Travel. Don't make the same mistakes I did!
