We used Carefree Vacations to book our honeymoon trip to Kauai (Hawaii), which took place this past…read moreNovember. We worked with Cathy and while trying to decide on a destination (we had several on our list), were impressed at her in depth knowledge of what seemed to be everything related to traveling. She's very passionate and experienced as a traveler, as well as in her field as an agent. Her advice and insight definitely led us to feeling confident in all of our planning decisions. Cathy put together several itineraries for us and was always available, with a quick turn around time whenever we had any questions. Working with a travel agency can also be really pricey, but Carefree will work with you to customize a package that will fit within your budget. I especially appreciated Cathy's patience and all of the time she spent with us, whether it was communicating in person, on the phone, or email. Thank you again, Cathy, for making the planning of our honeymoon such a breeze.

Please stay away from this place. I went in to ask for help regarding a booking I'd done with…read moreExpedia. The woman who said she could help me didn't even let me finish stating my problem (not even halfway through) when she just started nodding her head vigorously and saying she wouldn't help me. I walked out less than 5 minutes after I walked in. It was rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional to not even let me ask her my question. Not to mention that when I walked in, there were about 4 people there but no one attempted to help me until after a solid 30 seconds of standing there like a deer in the headlights. I took my business elsewhere (to VeryBest Travel in Bonita, CA) and they were not only willing to solve my problem, but did so in less than an hour. It doesn't cost anything to be nice and to hear a customer out to see if you can help them. Obviously, my problem wasn't so "impossible" to solve that less than an hour later another travel agency was able to help me and did solve my problem. Needless to say, I will NEVER be returning here.

Africa did not disappoint. I thought I was going to see the animals, but it was so much more than…read morethat. From the incredible places we stayed, to the incredible people we met, both working with passion, learning about their way of living, From the sun rises to the sunsets, to the stars, twinkling in the sky and learning about the constellations, Kim did an incredible job of planning it all out. I love the independence that my friend and I had as we traveled, and yet we're taking care of every step of the way. Kim, you rock, and it was a perfect holiday with so much to see and experience. At first when I went to Africa, I thought I want to see the animals and we saw the big 5+ so much more. And then I finally got in the groove of it, and didn't just see them, but witnessed them in their natural habitat. the places we stayed were absolutely incredible. Each one had its own experience. The food was incredible at every single place we stayed. What more can I say.? Kim will take good care of you just do it. And don't forget to smell the flowers along the way.

Conservation and community development are a priority for World Tribe Tours and we experienced it first-hand with a visit to an elephant rescue and sanctuary included in our itinerary as well as a visit to a local school in Victoria Falls where we were able to provide school supplies and a soccer ball that Kim suggested we bring when we asked how we could contribute. Kim took special care in making sure our needs were met and we were taken care of every step of the way. Going to Africa can be daunting but we felt safe and like VIPs throughout our entire trip. Thanks Kim! I will definitely recommend my friends book their travel through you.

See my other review for "Iraqi Center for Dialogue" in San Diego. This place is essentially the…read moresame thing but they use the whole non-profit scam to cover for this agency. One of the employees here actually told me that the travel guide, Jawdat, promised everyone that he'd pay for 3 meals and give everyone a room in a 5-star hotel. The only five star thing about this scam was how well he could sell false information to people looking to get away for a week or two. I pity those people honestly...and I think this agency is terrible

However, on my last trip to Kauai, Dorotea dropped the ball big time. Instead of letting her know what a terrible job she did on my return I just called and told her, her services were no longer needed. To this day, I'm still not sure what happened but it ruined our trip. When my sis, daughter and I got to Honolulu on our return flight home, we had to pay several hundred dollars extra for our luggage because of whatever it was that she hadn't done a through job completing. I don't know what we would've done if we didn't have enough funds to pay the added expenses. This happened about three years ago and I wish I had written this review back then because my memory would have had a better recollection of details. Don't use this travel agency!
