Outstanding experience working with Express Travel Services to obtain a China Tourist Visa…read more Renu and Brian made the application process simple and efficient, they are extremely thorough in preparing the information, and they work closely with the consulate in Los Angeles. Updates on the status of my visa while it was in progress were made available to me through a link they provided. My visa was completed and ready for pick up in just under four weeks, and that is at a time when the consulate had a backlog. Fees are very reasonable, response time to questions is very fast, and Renu is a valuable resource for any passport, visa, or general travel questions. Overall, Renu and her staff made the entire process easy for me. I highly recommend them.

Instead of answering my question, the young lady just said "do u have your paperwork", and did not even look my direction. I apologize and explained I did not, I just wanted to make sure they did fingerprinting. She was irritated and annoyed throughout the entire interaction, even though no one else was in the store. I asked how much they charged and she just sighed " I don't know! I wouldn't know until you brought them in. You need your paperwork." It was so an abrupt and rude I simply chuckled and left. We all have bad days but this was just rude. Super disappointed because I just moved across the street and was going to use this postal annex quite a bit but due to the terrible service I will pick another location.

We used Going Places Travel for a recent two-week trip to Europe from California, and let me assure…read moreyou that their 5-star rating is much-deserved. Our travel specialist was Laura--based out of northern California, I believe, which nonetheless didn't present any logistical difficulties for us down here in San Diego. Via a series of emails and phone calls over several days, Laura set up every facet of our trip to two countries and three cities after presenting us with multiple choices and price points: flights (outbound from LAX, inbound to San Diego), hotels, private car transport, etc. Because the trip was a last-minute getaway, our plans were somewhat fluid and dependent upon availability--and Laura didn't bat an eye when we suddenly switched our destination from Barcelona to London for the first week of the trip. Overall, Laura's work ethic in nailing down our logistics was Herculean, to say the least. We're looking forward to our next trip abroad in 2025, and will certainly use Going Places and Laura when we do.

Thanks!

I can't say enough about Joe. He was attentive, prompt, and went above and beyond at all hours in…read moreall time zones. I know what I asked of him was very difficult and last minute and he came through with flying colors. Long story short, I had to book 2 different vacations in 2 different countries (China and Japan). With 2 different parties that meet together afterwards. Additionally, I needed 3 last minute Visas, and I needed it done in 3 weeks. Not only did Joe coordinate everything in San Diego, but when I was already in Japan, he was there to help me as well. He coordinated a private custom tour for my family of 3 in Shanghai in which my tour guide Jesse was amazing. If I she ever reads this from China I want to give her a special shout out from Brandon and my family. And then a tour for my mom which from Tokyo to Osaka. I just finished my vacation and everything smooth as can be. My days of trying to books airbnbs and hotel shopping are over. Thanks Joe and phoenix vacations!

This is a really helpful travel agency that offers to submit your Chinese visa application for you…read moreat a great price. I wasn't sure what to expect because the last travel agency I worked with charged a lot of money and wasn't as clear or as helpful. The agents here really work with you every step of the way. They also provide rush processing at a higher fee; however, it was still WAY cheaper than the standard fee with the first travel agency I tried to work with. I would definitely go here again if I need a new visa and/or if I would like to get a travel package to China!

TRIPLE AAA (4.5 stars)…read more Towing is not cheap, call around and find out!!! I've decided to get Triple A (Plus) membership for just roadside assistance. And let me tell you, WORTH the money. But you may ask why if you have full coverage with + roadside assistance thru insurance. Did you know using roadside assistance that you pay for with your insurance can boost up premiums because every call would be considered a claim. I don't want to take the chance there since I already pay an arm and leg to Progressive. Triple A offers (3) different plans. I went for the Plus Plan for roadside assistance + Motorcycle roadside assistance. After signing up I was able to start using the service on day one BUT even if you are on a higher plan (paid for and everything), for the first week grace period your services are on the lower plan - didn't like this but I get it, had to deduct half a star rating for that. Lowest plan only tows 7 miles free. Any mile after that you work with the contracted tow how much the charge... I was quoted $12 per additional mile. Not bad $48 to take me to my destination. It was either $48, use my roadside with insurance and get a ding with a claim, OR pay $350-400 for a normal tow... to tow 11 miles. SITUATION. BMW replaced my fuel pump couple months ago so this should no longer be a problem. Either there is a fault somewhere or a false-positive sensor read sending to my computer. I got my BMW towed from my home to BMW service for further diagnostics (do not drive if a fuel pump warning appears on your computer - risky). After scheduling a service I got quoted 1hr wait. That was fine because I was home and wasn't pressed for time. HOWEVER, triple a quickly sent someone and they were at my home in a short time. Ready to go in front of my garage! The person who helped me was named Ivan and he was super chill and we chopped it up a bit driving to BMW's Service dept. Afterwards, triple a called me to ask about my experience and all that good stuff. Overall excellent service and customer service. Did you know... you can use your tows not just on your cars, as long as you are present you can use your tows. So, let me tell you this... NOBODY should be using all their plan's tows within a year (if so that means you need a new mechanic or a new car). If you ever need a tow, see if your friends or family have a plan and use one of their tows. It will save you $400! My car is safely with BMW - thanks to Triple A. On a side note, I may need to tell BMW how to do their job - if it's not the HPFP (that was recently replaced), then might be the EKPS. If both are good and warning still comes up and car shuts off, the ln it's a heat-related component failure. Test the LPFP and connection, test the psi or the voltage. While at it, test the Crankshaft Position Sensor for any faults. Do your job so Triple A doesn't have to do theirs!

We booked our vacation of a lifetime through an agent associated with Cadence Travel. We did not…read moreexperience the so called as they advertise any "world class white glove care" for a very expensive trip. While on the cruise we heard from multiple people that their travel agent got them ship credits, free beverage package, and or there was a gift basket in their room. We received nothing and instead had an agent that even forgot to remind us that we had to book our own airline seats no assistance from travel agency or agent. This resulted in the worst seats we've ever had in our international travels. Nor did we receive any welcome gift or as We were celebrating a couple special occasions- birthday and retirement. Again as Cadence website purports "to take care of the Client". In addition, we were told several untrue things. One of those was having to check in for a river cruise by 3:00 p.m. costing us time to explore the originating city. All in all, the river cruise was a wonderful time but we absolutely gained nothing by using a travel agent and do not recommend this travel agency- Cadence Travel.

TBH, I'm not a customer, but a booking agent I know complained to me about an agent with Cadence. I…read moredon't know what's going on with this Steve guy, but he seems to not understand that when he's booking international travel, he needs to get passport information, destination locations, and actually make an effort to get all of the pertinent information from customers before booking a trip. Furthermore, he made his lack of adequate preparation the booking agent's problem, which I find completely unprofessional. If travel agencies are having difficulty competing with online travel options, then it would be a good idea to have a staff which exhibits exemplary professionalism. That means being courteous and patient with the people who are working with us.
