ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! I can't say enough good things about the amazing trip Gretchen from Recharge Travel planned for me to Switzerland. From start to finish, everything was just so thoughtfully put together. I told her I wanted a mix of stunning scenery, a little adventure, and some time to just unwind--and somehow she managed to capture exactly what I needed, even better than I could've imagined. Every stop felt like something out of a postcard--peaceful lakes, snow-capped mountains, cozy villages--and the hotels she picked were in perfect locations. Everyday was different and we created so many lasting memories, it ended up being such a special experience. She took care of everything--trains, transfers, activities, hotel reservations--so I could just relax and soak it all in. It really felt like she cared about making the trip personal and memorable, and it honestly made such a difference. If you're planning a trip and want someone who just gets it, Gretchen is the one. Best travel decision I've made in a long time. We highly recommend her to everyone! We've already recommended her to our friends and family! read more

Gretchen put together our bucket list trip to visit the Asian Disney parks and sites in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Tokyo. She listened to what we wanted to do, offered suggestions of places to visit and made the necessary reservations to make it happen. Where Gretchen's expertise came into play was in taking care of the Disney parks part of our trip. They all have varying dates in which hotel reservations can be made, which are usually different from dates in which tickets can be reserved. Tokyo Disney is a whole other ball game. Reservations become available four months out and open up at 9pm EST. The hotel we wanted would literally sell out within a minute or two. Gretchen practiced using the system several times and when the time came, she got the hotel and room type that we wanted. We appreciated her travel tips, helping us stay within our budget, being flexible, and taking care of all the details. We appreciated her helping us with problems even though she was in Greece. We look forward to having Gretchen helping us with a future trip. read more

Our experience with Recharge Travel, speaking of course specifically about Gretchen, was truly exceptional. Unfortunately, an unexpected health situation forced us to reschedule our vacation plans. Gretchen went above and beyond to assist us during this challenging time. Her support was invaluable; she took charge of liaising with airlines, hotels, and other service providers, allowing us to focus on what was necessary while ensuring a smooth transition for our travel arrangements. In the end, thanks to Gretchen's dedication and expertise, we successfully rescheduled our trip for later in the year. Whether you encounter an emergency or not, having Gretchen on your side is a game-changer. Her professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care make her a critical asset to your vacation plans. We are immensely grateful for her assistance and highly recommend Recharge for their exceptional service, especially Gretchen's outstanding support. read more

Recharge Travel is the absolute best! Gretchen has helped me plan 4 huge trips, including 3 international ones with our kids (Disney/Universal, Galapagos, Paris/London, and Scotland). She makes everything so much easier, from travel insurance to excursions. Almost everything has been perfect, but on the very rare occasion when it wasn't, she handled the situation immediately. We had one difficult private guided excursion in Scotland where a last minute driver change resulted in us getting lost and not getting to visit the places that were promised. I let Gretchen know what was happening and, by the time we got back to our hotel, she had already spoken to the manager and had gotten us a full refund for the entire day. She has also been incredibly thoughtful about our special needs, since we have an autistic son. She always goes above and beyond!! We are so happy with Recharge Travel and will always use them to book all of our travel. read more

Gretchen catered to every question and concern we had going into our first family cruise! I was a difficult customer with many distracting things going on but she was very understanding and genuinely wanted my family to get the best deal and experience. Her proactive communication and ability to suggest the perfect options when we didn't really know how to proceed was a huge weight off our minds. Her custom approach to our needs and specific family requirements covered health considerations, travel and safety concerns, "inside information" and local knowledge of the areas we went--in addition to the trip's organization and packaging. Gretchen went above and beyond what we were expecting of a travel agency. We received a 'boutique', custom experience and definitely will use Recharge Travel again. You will not be disappointed. read more

A friend referred us to Gretchen when we started to plan our Alaskan cruise. Right from the start she was so helpful and responsive, answering a range of questions and providing great advice based on her experience and love for travel. During our trip, we needed some support and Gretchen was at the ready with great customer service. I can't imagine trying to plan a trip like this without someone like Gretchen. Bonus... our trip to Alaska for 7 nights on a Princess cruise and 3 days on land to Denali and Fairbanks, Alaska was ... awe-inspiring, amazing, full of great memories. We're already thinking about our next adventure. read more

We used Gretchen to help us plan a sabbatical that took us to Greece, the east and west coast, and Hawaii. She was amazing and stayed very detailed orientated with our budget. Every activity that she helped plan made our vacation magical. If there was a problem she immediately responded and took care of everything. She will now be the person we go to for all future vacations. I can not recommend her enough! Thanks Gretchen!!! read more

we have planned multiple vacations with Gretchen and we have always been pleased. Our hotel selections, transportation, and excursions have been perfect! The package we received before going out of town is complete and detailed. She always makes herself available for questions during our travel, if something comes up. She is a pleasure to work with, and we will continue using her in the future! read more

Not sure why the other reviews are hidden, but Gretchen has been beyond amazing. I first reached out to her to help me plan a family trip to Disney. She has been super helpful and been very patient! I have a lot of questions and she is quick to answer them. I was so impressed that I asked her about a different trip and have that booked. Super nice and professional! read more

Gretchen has booked our last three Disney trips and every detail has been perfect. We have been to Disney many times before but she added new insights and planning tips that were great.
