Sharp Travel is a local Korean travel agency that offers wonderful vacation packages and guided…read moretours - this company is super awesome for those whose first language is Korean! Some trips that they offer are the Eastern & Western Europe, Italy, Hawaii, South Korea, U.S. points of interests, and even cruises. My parents went on the 10-day Eastern Europe trip, which included visiting Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary - they enjoyed it very much, as the group was maintained in small numbers and super intimate; the tour guide gave great descriptions and information; the hotels were 4- and 5-star accommodations that were super clean and comfortable; all points of main attractions as well as points of interests were included; the tour bus shuttled everyone without a glitch and was driven safely; and, there was some time included for travelers to go do some independent exploring. Sharp Travel is also quick in responding and are very informative - they're more than open to discuss travel options with you, as well as to make customizations. I was looking into booking some vacationing spots for my parents within the next year and I've noticed that the prices are extremely competitive compared to others, as well as the variety of travel destinations to choose from! The owners are a husband-and-wife team, and they are super sweet and really care about making sure that everyone has a great experience. I highly recommend in checking Sharp Travel out - it can be a great gift for parents and grandparents! +local Korean travel agency +great tour guides +clean and luxurious accommodations +variety of travel destinations +friendly owners!

We could have done better with Expedia. He found no better flights than we found. When we asked…read morehim about booking connections for transportation from airports to hotels or from Rome to Florence. He said he could do that . . . for a price. And the hotel he booked for us in Rome was a $30 cab ride each way between the hotel and any of the major tourist attractions. When we got there, we contacted Tor, who told us it was our fault for not checking in advance. What did we need a travel agent for, if not for things like making sure we were well located?!

American Travel number pop out and not knowing that number is not DELTA's and dialed it, agent answered and assisted me to get the flight days I wanted and happen to be. Korean air have available flights for the same days. I ask if Korean air honors Military Privilege's because I have a third check in luggage and Military get 5 check in luggage's for free up to 80 lbs. of weight. agent guaranteed me that Korean Air honors Military privileges and also added that I will get my miles transferred to my Delta account. because its partner with Delta! plane ticket price 1700 and I paid 2200 for extra charges booking the flight with this company. but in my head its all worth it as long as my 3rd luggage will be check in for free.! even though I know extra luggage is only 250. I just went with it thinking all good save me the hustle of calling Delta and trying to rebook my canceled booking. now 1 week before my flight I called Korean air to see if they Honor Military Privileges and found out they don't! Agent from this company straight up lied to me or doesn't know how to do his job!? not only I just paid 500 extra dollars for this flight now I have to pay 250 extra Dollars for my extra luggage ! I should have just called Delta or any other American Airline company and I would have save a headache! lesson learned. why go trough a Third party and pay extra 30% of the plain ticket when you can go call the Airline company directly. pls don't be like and save your money and don't use third party company to book your flights! save your money and spend it somewhere else! will never ever ever book with a third party you guys suck!!!!!!!!!

It's right on the border of Glenview & Northbrook, on the corner of Lake & Milwaukee. The rooms aren't the fanciest, but it was very tidy and clean. They do need a dash of love and upgrading though! The water was warm, plus the rooms have cute balconies overlooking a courtyard. Thermostat and coffee machines worked well, everything was perfectly functional and good TV quality in the room. Big parking lot and tons of amenities. The lobby is huge with seating, coffee, and friendly staff. Just a very chill hotel in which you can feel safe.

Scam alert. We…read moreattended the 90 minute presentation "how to save money on travel" to get 2 free plane tix. We had no intention of buying whatever they were selling - we know how to travel cheaply. We entered a nondescript office with no permanent sign, a trashy sales agent started off the presentation by asking everyone where their ultime DREAM destination, money no object, would be. The 1st couple said Aruba (whoa, dream big). We said Maldives and the woman, who said she was a travel agent, had no idea where that was. Then she went around the room and asked each couple how much they thought the dream trip would cost. Aruba people said $6k for 7 days. Are you kidding me? Our 14 day trip to South Africa will be around that! The the pitch begins. Global Travel is not a timeshare, it a full service travel agency that provides week long stays at 5-star resorts and condos for $119 in the US and $189 international. They have thousands around the world! Of course, when you ask for specifics they tell you that the inventory changes so much they can't guarantee anything. They said they have tons of properties in Florida, Hawaii, Cancun, etc. But even if you can't take advantage of the low weekly rate at a condo, the full-service travel agency can get you 50% off hotels around the world plus 30-40% off flights and car rentals and cruises! So after an hour about how awesome this is, they finally get down to cost. $14,900 gets you membership FOR LIFE (passed on to your kids, and grandkids). $189 is the on-time processing fee, and $389 is the yearly "activity fee". If you don't book a trip that year, you don't pay. Of course, if you only book one, that $389 could cancel out any savings. You get 2 peak weeks at the weekly $119/189 rate plus 2 off-peak weeks, booked 2-4 months in advance. You also get 2 last minute weeks at the weekly rate that cost an additional $200 to book. So we're sitting there, clearly not going to do this, but watching all the people who are eating this up. We fill out our survey with info on us I'm assuming this is so they can give us their pitch on how we can save tons, so I pick our next trips to places I highly doubt they have properties, like Russia and Laos. So then we get paired up with an agent and go to the sales room where there's a "tiki-hut" and blaring music (so you can't hear the deal the table next to you is getting). Then they announce that because this is the anniversary of this particular office (really, then why don't you even have a sign?) the price is going to roll back to what is was in 1989 - just $11,900. After another 10 minutes they annouce that the first two people to sign up can take an additional $1000 off (all the agents "wow" and clap like this is so unheard of). Our agent starts the pitch by telling us all about him and then asking all about us. We immediately say we're not intrested because, while the premise is sound, it doesn't fit our style of travel. We never stay in one place for a whole week (so if we wanted to use all 4 weeks to stay in 4 places internationally over a week or so, it would be $800. We only spent $700 for 10 days in Spain!) and we HATE large resorts/megahotels. Sales guy continues to pitch, we continue to say no. He shows us pictures of more resorts, we say "okay, nice, but we're not interested". He tries to show us how much money would could save on our upcoming South Africa trip by going with them - MY trip actually comes out cheaper! Finally he says he needs to bring his manager over for our official decline. Manager comes over and pitches some more, and then says they may have another plan that could work for us. It's only $4500 for the membership to get one peak week and one off-peak week. We say no, he says if we just put $100 down we can get started now. We say no, he and sales guy excuse themselves. Sales guy comes back with a folded piece of paper and and says manager told him not to open it. We open it and it says $2500 on it. Sales guy is all "wow, I've never seen that deal before!". Manager comes back and talks all about how low this price is and just $100 will get us started. We say no again, now put off by the desperation. Sales guy whips out our "free gift", the 2 free plane tickets that are LOADED with so many hoops it becomes clear we will never use them and practially pushes us out the door. Don't make the same mistake we did to try to get free tickets. There's always a catch and you'll have to deal with these smarmy sales guys. I feel bad for the gullible people who get suckered and and lose money, but come on people. How naive can you be?
