Judy Gallagher was just the expert we needed! Judy was able to give us recommendations based on the type of vacation we were looking for and also stay within our budget. She took care of EVERYTHING, and even added her own suggestions to make our trip extra special. As it turns out, our Punta Cana resort had not disclosed when booking the trip that there was construction happening outside of our room. I had requested a room change from our hotel concierge, but was told that no other rooms were available. The next morning I called Judy and explained the situation. She answered the phone immediately and by that same afternoon we had our upgraded room -- one of the best in the resort! This was EXACTLY why we trusted our special trip to Gallagher Travel Shoppe and I am happy to give Gallagher a very strong recommendation!! Thank you Judy!

About 8 years ago, I wanted to take a cruise. I had never been on one and had no clue where to…read morestart so I headed to the nearest travel agency right around the corner. Little did I know that I had stumbled upon one of the best travel agencies I have ever used. Seriously. My first cruise was fabulous thanks to Linda. It was so great, I took an impromptu (we are talking I woke up and said "hey I wanna cruise right now) last minute decision. Not only did she book me on a wonderful 5 day getaway to Bermuda, but the upgrades and requests and travel time was brilliantly done. I literally just lacked my bags and went. I used her to book a vacation to Riviera Maya in Mexico. The absolute most beautiful vacation I have been on. Everything is seemless when I deal directly with Linda. I tell her what I want, where I want to go, how long and how much. She takes care of the rest. The only thing I have to worry about is getting to the airport to catch a flight. I have heard horror stories from some people about travel agencies and I am shocked. I didn't realize how lucky I was until I had heard about vacation nightmares that could have easily been prevented. I always recommend Linda. I have sent multiple people to her and they are also amazed. She is professional, friendly, knowledgeable and has first class taste. Wouldn't ever go anywhere else! As a side, she has been working tirelessly on an upcoming vacation my boyfriend and I want to take. We provided a list of 4 places we wanted to go and she has emailed me multiple choices for each location. I receive emails at 8am and emails at 9 at night. She doesn't slow down, always thinking and always trying to make her clients happy. Truly a gem of a business!

We asked her to look at different cruises and unfortunately were not able to go with our originally booked plan. She took care of changing the cruise.

We've used her to help plan 4 vacations and will continue to do so.

I have usually gone to Alex close to the time we desired to leave for vacation.

Once the schedule is in place, he worked closely with us to point out and then help book the best ways to get the most out of our schedule.

In my thirty plus years of traveling, both for domestic corporate travel and international personal travel, I have never worked with a more qualified travel expert than Lena Brown. She is phenomenal! Lena is extremely collaborative, responsive and informative throughout the whole process of travel planning which began a year before the actual two-week trip to Portugal. She created an itinerary where every single detail was covered. From the airport pickups & car service, train rides and short flights to personal guides for castle tours, unique winery tours, and even a memorable hike to the scenic south of Portugal in the Algarve region, Lena did it all. We traveled throughout Lisbon, Porto, Lagos and everywhere in between on trains, planes, Sprinter Vans and town cars. We saw cliffs, caves (both in mountains and in wineries), Fado singers, castles and vineyards. She planned restaurant reservations at some of the best restaurants in all of Portugal and housed us in the best hotels in the country all in the heart of the cities and villages. Our group consisted of three couples with distinct preferences and opinions. She is highly collaborative and able to meet the needs of our group and provide insights and recommendations beyond what we dreamed of ourselves. Lena kept us informed throughout the whole planning process. Despite being in a different time zone, Lena was available at a moment's notice and never wavered in her dedication and commitment to our group of six being happy and informed. Lena didn't let a Florida hurricane stop her. The Sarasota airport was closed due roof damage post hurricane and our United flight was canceled. Lena waived her "magic wand" and got the final flight home changed to the nearby airport of Tampa with grace and elegance throughout a most difficult challenge of last minute change. She accomplished this without hesitation and went to work immediately ensuring our success in obtaining seats for all six in their respective class designation. I trusted her judgement and execution throughout the whole process and I'm deeply grateful for her winning attitude and ability to work under pressure. I plan to use Lena Brown for my future travel planning and through her partnerships and affiliations with other travel organizations and groups I feel we received the best experience possible and the use of the "Axus Travel App" on our phones kept informed of every detail, document, time of arrival, helpful hints and everything in between our travel was a smashing success and I can't thank her enough. Thank you, Lena and Largay Travel.

I am writing this review as an experienced traveler. I have lived in 7 different countries,…read moretraveled to over 30 and am on my fifth passport. I begin with this because in all my traveling I have never used a travel agent or saw the benefit. I met Michele a few years ago and instantly liked her. She is one of those people with amazing energy. So when it was time to book my honeymoon, even though I knew where I wanted to go and stay, I decided to ask Michele to handle the booking and all the details for me. This was at least one thing I didn't have to think or worry about. As it turned out, it was the best decision that I have made in a very long time. The month before the wedding was my busiest of my working career. Added to that, the last minute details of the wedding and the wedding itself. My life was crazy insane but I knew that I would be able to relax on my honeymoon which was scheduled 2 days after my wedding. Here's where it gets good... The day after the wedding it was time to check in to our flights. I got my passport out to put in the details and the expiration date. I kept looking at it and it wasn't making sense to me...then reality hit.. My passport had expired the day before. I couldn't believe it.. How did this happen to me? I know better.. I'm experienced.. I always check, double check and triple check.. But this time, I hadn't because I was more concerned with getting my finance his first passport. I never thought to look at mine. My dream honeymoon was lost... along with all the money I spent to book it. After my screaming, crying and subsequent panic attack.. I started to think. I thought.. ok.. I have a travel agent.. I have heard Michele tell stories about people who this has happened to... So I texted her and said, "Hi Michele... It's amateur hour at my house at the moment... you will never believe this, but my passport has expired and I am melting down"... She instantly texted me back and told me to calm down and that she was on it. About an hour later, she got back to me and said this is the plan... "I have contacted the hotels and the transfer companies. We are all set. They have agreed to push your check in date back a day and we will be able to change the flights. Tomorrow, get up at the crack of dawn and go to the emergency passport office and get a new passport. Long story short.. I did this, got my passport and left the next day. Through this whole sage, Michele was kind and patient and constantly reassured me that everything would be fine even though I thought all was lost. If it wasn't for her, her experience and guidance, I do believe all would have been lost. It was so incredible to know that I had someone to turn to. I also truly believe that the hotels would not have been so agreeable with me directly. But because she is an agent, they want to make sure that they are helpful when they can be. This whole experience has shown me the "TRUE VALUE" of a travel agent. I was able to go on my dream honeymoon that didn't disappoint. Unbeknownst to me, Michele, had one more surprise. When we checked into our room at JADE MOUNTAIN, ST. LUCIA~ which I had been waiting to see for 10 years, we were given an upgrade.. but not any upgrade...They gave us the best room in the entire hotel..(ps.. I have never been giving an upgrade) ....and Never did I think in a million years, I ever would be staying in this room.. I laughed and cried, at the same time. My dream literally came true. It wasn't until I got back and found out that Michele on one of her many travels, had met the owner of this hotel, spoke to her about us and asked her in her sweet Michele way, if there was anything they could do for us, it would be greatly appreciated. Well.. they came through and in the most amazing way. I want to thank Michele for making this all possible. I get emotional thinking about it. She gave me the experience of a lifetime and gave me my dream honeymoon. If it wasn't for her, I don't think my honeymoon even would have happened. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am now a total convert. She will be handling all my travel in the future. Michele.. I hope you're ready! :-)

I cannot help but to laud Michele at http://www.heretothemoontravel.com/…read more Our longtime travel agent was pulling back towards retiring and was no longer able to help us. We connected to Michele at Here To The Moon, as she was one of the highest rated and best reviewed of travel agents from a web search. Michele immediately put us at ease and took charge, pricing and arranging a transatlantic and Mediterranean cruise, and coming in with a lower price (by nearly $900 p/p) through discounts that we were unaware were available to us. Michele answered all of our inquiries in a timely and complete manner. We definitely feel confident in using and recommending her, and are grateful for her knowledge and expertise.
