    Frosch Travel - "GARDEN" view from hotel room

    I want to personally thank Marina G. and Rita P. for excellent customer service above and beyond. I…read moream a very difficult customer to deal with and I like things in order probably more than the next guy. Both Marina and Rita were very patient with my dumb questions even though they're extremely busy this time of year. Marina in particular has to do even more work because she is covering for a coworker while she is on vacation. Even though they don't need any more business, I highly recommend this travel agency if you're traveling anywhere in the world. I would give them more than five stars if I could. Job well done thank you

    We just returned from a 3 week vacation in Thailand and Vietnam organized by a Frosch travel agent…read more From the outset we should have known Deborah Deming would disappoint us. She was going on a big trip to Antarctica, with spotty cell service. Instead of giving us over to another agent who would have the time needed to curate plans for our trip, she assured us she would be available for all but a few days. Well, not really. And her style is to investigate the trip options while you are holding on the phone. That automatically eliminates doing any detailed research. Deming's lack of attention to detail put us in a position to question and double check all the arrangements, get on the plane with unresolved issues, and generally cast a shadow over our trip. Some examples: *We traveled with another couple who, once we met in SE Asia, were doing exactly what we were. Yet their hotel reservations were messed up...TWICE! *She scheduled us on a 7:40am flight from Bangkok to Hanoi. We'd have to leave for the airport about 4:15 AM, only to arrive in Hanoi 6 hours before we could check in to our hotel. *The Saigon Day plan neglected to mention that it is a 2 hour drive to the tunnels and, of course, 2 hours back. So that is 5-6 hours, then there was a tour around the city , and then... an evening of vespa riding and bar hopping and dinner. We told Deborah from the outset, we are in our late 60's. A 12 hour tour day is just not a realistic plan. Oh, and talking about being in our late 60's....why wasn't the War Remembrance Museum on the plan? We were draft age for that war! *In Chiangmai we paid extra for a Garden view. Yes, there was a very beautiful Garden, see below for the view from our room Deborah depends on ICS Travel Group to do all the local planning. Apparently she handed our trip over to them and never followed up - until we started asking questions. We did have some amazing tours and some wonderful guides. We also had one guide who had little idea of the schedule, a tour that never happened - for which we were unsatisfactorily compensated, and transfer guides that did not know what hotels we were going to. If you are thinking of using Frosch or ICS...reconsider!

    I love Witmor Travel! Personally, I don't use travel agents. I don't really travel. And when I…read moredo, it means renting a car and finding a cheap hotel. So, I don't really need an agent. At work, it's another story. Booking travel for executives, marketers, sales reps--lots of reservations and even more changes. Witmor takes care of me, all the way through. I work with Jean-Pierre and he's the greatest. He's based in NYC but works West Coast hours. And he started out in SF so he knows the area forward and backward. Personable, professional, reliable--what more could I want? Thank you Witmor and Jean-Pierre for making my life easier!

Jane took amazing care of them from beginning to end, surprising them with perks and bonuses throughout their trip. I received rave reviews when they returned and coming from them, I know Jane went above and beyond! Or, I think what's more accurate is that she's just really, really talented at being a travel agent. The thing about using Jane, too, as opposed to trying to do everything yourself on the net, is that she's there to get you out of a jam NOW with all of her connections, resources and talent. She recommended I get travel insurance and it ended up saving me thousands. Highly recommmended!

    our wedding planner introduced us to karie initially to help out with reserving a hotel block for…read moreour guests, but she has gone above and beyond just helping with that. after securing the hotel block, karie politely / unobtrusively inquired about our honeymoon plans and just let us know that she was able to help if need be. we started by asking a few questions about both the hotel we were looking into for a "minimoon" in napa + the bigger trip we were trying to plan in greece a month later and it became immediately clear that our experiences in both cities were going to be greatly better if we had the help of karie vs. booking on our own. she has helped with every detail - from suggesting the best restaurants and securing reservations, to finding unlisted (and affordable) upgrade options for hotel rooms and inquiring about all kinds of pricing. she has organized our tours, ferry rides between islands, massages and taxi services and has moved things around (multiple times) when we've had a change in plans or budget. she has had answers to any question i can throw her way and has been quick to respond (and never batted an eye at any of the crazy requests we threw her way). the beauty of working with a travel planner (or at least with karie) is that they have contacts at all the places you want to go and they can work to find you the best offers or the hidden benefits that you might not have known about by just googling a hotel or city. karie also has experience in planning these types of trips, so she was great in reminding us of what we needed to do and when, without being pushy or self-serving -- she genuinely just wanted to make sure we walk away with the exactly the experience that we want. she was never pushy and never made unsolicited suggestions that weren't in-line with exactly what we were looking for. i would 100000% recommend karie to others -- especially those booking trips where the details aren't as simple as airfare + hotel or for those planning a wedding / honeymoon. i think the key here is finding someone who is experienced, well-connected and (most importantly) trustworthy and she is absolutely all of those things.

Karie managed locking in block room rates, canceling the block in 2020 then rescheduling the block in 2021. She also supplied us with an update on guest reservations every week or so prior to the wedding. She definitely alleviated all the coordination that this takes on top of our wedding plans. Love her! Recommend her highly!!!

    We usually like to go it alone, but with no Indonesian language skills, we thought we could use a…read morelittle help setting up our trip to Java and Bali. After talking to Teri, it was clear we could have the ease of a tour while creating our own adventure. Teri encouraged us to research what we wanted in the area. We let Teri know what kind of activities, sights and the kind of hotels we we like to stay in. Between us we set up a great itinerary with bike rides through villages, white water rafting, visits to a school and crafts centers and including lots of time for us to adventure on our own. We like to dine in local restaurants-the food is not dumbed down for tourist and it is lovely to eat next to a local family rather than a room full of tourists-so we were left to plan meals on our own. Teri supplied us with great tour guides and only one was assigned to us in each locale. Our guide in Yogykarta (not Jakarta), Darwin Masangang, even found me a local Balinese dance class where I took a class with college students. He knew where to find the best batik and shopping. He believed us when we said we wanted local food and took us to where his family ate where the food was great and the price for the dinner, the cost of a soda in the states. Our lodgings were far nicer than I assumed they would be. Our lodging in Bali was a small beautiful house surrounded by a walled garden. It was a wonderful trip. The ease of landing and not having to negotiate with taxi drivers, knowing that our hotel would be clean (and beautiful on this trip) and having the tours we picked set up, made this stress free. We will use Teri again for our next trip!

    We recently returned from a private month's tour in India. Teri's knowledge and expertise were…read morebeyond what we could have imagined. She provided us with efficient and "first class" services throughout the trip and seamlessly wove the many hotels, flights, guides and drivers into a smooth and worry free experience. She is truly a professional who wants the very best for her clients. You could not find a travel agent as willing to go that extra step if you searched far and wide!
