This last time was to plan our bucket-list trip to Fiji - 7 nights, split between 2 resorts We were working with the owner. The core issue is that she has continued to refuse to explain a significant price hike on the last itinerary she sent us. Basically priced 6 nights at 1 family resort as costing more than 7 nights split between 2 high end adults only resorts. We did NOT book our trip with Sonoma Travel, and do not plan to use her company again.

Let me say.... The worst services ever. Not surprised to see three 1 star ratings. Debbie was in…read morecharge of our Hawaiian vacation. We booked about one year in advance because there was 12 of us - and we finally got a confirmation email about a month before we left. One of the names was a family member that wasn't even traveling with us. Actually it was my sisters first name with my last name. That person doesn't even exists. So a last minute change cost more and screwed up all the flight seating. She booked the 2 year old in an exit row, and when we told her that we don't think a 2 year old can be in an exit row she said "it's not a big deal" well- when we got to the airport we had to change all of the seats around last minute because - as we said - a 2 year old can't sit in an exit row. We asked her to book us a luau, and when she hadn't yet booked it a month before we were leaving... We decided to book it ourselves. When telling her that we booked it, she said "oh good, I haven't done that yet" So we booked our luau, we changed our names on the flight, we changed all of the family members seats on the flight... What did Debbie do again?

They have set us up two trips and they were both great! Well planned worth every penny. If you've…read morenever used a person to plan a vacation, it is worth it as I get so much more out of my trips now! The trips we went on were multiple stops in Europe (London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin). We got in so much and stayed in amazing places. When my partner originally suggested that we go on a trip to Europe, I was concerned that I would have to do tons, and tons are planning to get a lot out of it. We had so many amazing adventures! And I barely had to do anything. Highly suggest if you ever wanted to do a multi jump trip, do it! Our second trip was to Iceland with my parents as well so it was great having to only worry about my parents inability to pack well and my mom and her new hip (yeah, it was interesting timing. She recovered well but it was still new hip) and not about the travel or such. We had a private guide as well. (sidenote, since I never tried going to Iceland without a guide not personal experience but, one of my moms doctors mentioned that they went to Iceland, but it was kind of scary because they were on this one lane Road and they said really scary.... When they suggest a guide, take a guide. It just takes a lot of the worry out.) When things went sideways they were very responsive and helped get things fixed quick. Would use again. For the hotels and such we did confirm the prices and they were in line so no weird pricing issues for us. We heard of scams so just saying we did compare so we wanted to share our vetting.

Thailand has been on our "bucket list" and being invited to a Thai wedding provided the incentive to make Thailand our next international destination. From the moment we contacted Irene, we knew were would be in good hands (was there any doubt?)! After providing responses to Irene's questionnaire regarding our interests and desires about Thailand (along with several emails, text messages, and phone conversations), she provided an excellent itinerary that included flights, private tours, private drivers to and from airports, superb accommodations, and expert guides. During our 5 nights in Bangkok, Irene curated a centrally located hotel in Bangkok, an informal food tour in Chinatown, and an exceptionally knowledgeable local guide to introduce us to the some of the most historically important temples in Bangkok and Ayutthaya. During our first 4 nights in Chiang Mai, Irene curated a modern-styled hotel minutes away from the legendary Night Market (a must experience). We had the pleasure of touring Chiang Mai and the hills of Doi Inthanon National Park with an experienced and friendly local guide. There is no substitute to having a local guide to provide insights and knowledge about Thai culture, food, and history. Additionally, Irene had arranged a private cooking class where we prepared 7 Northern Thailand dishes, all delicious!! Our last 3 nights were spent at the Onsen at Moncham, a Japanese-themed retreat in the mountains before returning home. Although Irene provided many options for our destinations/events and hotels, our itinerary was completely customizable and ultimately, our choice. Whether you want to experience Thailand on the beaten or unbeaten path, but with comfort, reliability, and service, let Irene at Travel Darlings handle your needs!

Ellen has an incredible ability to tailor experiences, which makes each trip feel uniquely mine. She always finds the perfect balance by incorporating culinary, cultural, and art experiences that I love, along with athletic and outdoor activities that keep things active and engaging. It never feels one dimensional. I've used BT's services to book trips to Africa numerous times. Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Uganda are just a few examples.. Each destination has offered something completely unique, and Ellen has hit the itineraries right out of the park. Gorilla trekking in Uganda was a once in a lifetime experience, and visiting the Skeleton Coast in Namibia felt like stepping into another world. In Botswana, I was lucky enough to see leopards up close, which is so rare and exciting! I have also vacationed in Tahiti three times, and each time has been magical and different! Most recently, my husband and I just got back from an incredible trip to Rangiroa, and we are already talking about exploring more islands on our next visit. Looking ahead, I am starting to plan a trip to Japan, and I will definitely be working with Boutique Travel again to put together the itinerary. Their attention to detail, creativity, and ability to truly understand what we are looking for makes every trip seamless and unforgettable. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about David Petlin and the team at Flair Travel. Our recent trip…read moreto Portugal was wonderful, and much of that was thanks to the exceptional planning, attention to detail, and care that went into every aspect of our itinerary. Our group included our family of 10: my husband and me, our 40-something daughters and their husbands, and four grandkids, ranging in age from 9-15. As you can imagine, planning for and traveling with a multi-generational group can be complicated, but everything came together beautifully. From helping us find flights, to booking fabulous accommodations, to helping us make the most of our time in Portugal, David was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and patient throughout the entire process. His suggestions were always spot on, and he didn't hesitate to tell us if something we proposed wouldn't work well. What really stood out was the personal attention. We never felt like just another booking--David truly understood oir preferences and needs, and his recommendations helped make the trip both seamless and memorable. Portugal was absolutely beautiful, and we were able to relax and enjoy it knowing that the details had been so thoughtfully handled. And when we encountered a few glitches - none of which were of David's making - he was incredibly responsive in helping us get them sorted out. If you are looking for someone who is organized, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in making your trip special, I cannot recommend David/Flair Travel highly enough. We are already looking forward to planning our next adventure with him!
