You will never look back after using Travel Services. I am so glad i found them and have never looked back. The staff is great and friendly. Mark was excellent to work with. He always responded to phone calls/emails promptly and was extremely clear and thorough with expectations. I was given great prices and a lot of great suggestions, I have wondered why I haven't gone to a travel agent before. If you are doing any complicated trip at all, go to this travel agent. Do yourself a favor: relax with a cold beverage while they search through the airline flight schedules and find you the best deals. They always find great rates (even better than Expedia at times). I highly recommend Travel Services by Mark and will definitely use his services in the future!

She is a gem; the best travel agent I've ever worked with in all my years of traveling, actually. She has been able to help us find the right travel opportunities for our style and helps us navigate the logistics. Josie was always a step ahead of us on our last trip to Australia and New Zealand, and right now she's helping us plan a trip to Myanmar (formerly Burma). She is thoughtful with our questions, quick with responses, and pays attention to the details (she even told us a shortcut to spare us the agony of going through TSA 2x at LAX). Josie's level of service and insight has made us big fans. I have a feeling we'll see more of the world because of having her on our side! If you're looking for a Seattle travel agent (or a travel agent anywhere, actually), you're in luck. And you're welcome! ;)

In fact, I…read morehadn't traveled anywhere for over 13 years, and never had traveled without additional family members. But I knew that for our honeymoon we needed some additional help to book the trip of our dreams. When I first contacted Totem Travel, I did it through e-mail and talked to the manager Linda. She was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions. After a few inquiries over e-mail she told me that it would be best if I came into the actual business to discuss details and possibly book the trip. When I first went in I met with a woman named Patty. She was beyond helpful, and was more than catering to the fact that I had no idea what I was doing. I felt as if I was in really good hands so I booked our honeymoon with Totem Travel. As the months went passed Patty was able to continue answering all my questions and helping me book additional details for our trip. Sometimes I would stop by Totem Travel to ask additional questions or confirm other details and even after months I would walk in and Patty would recognize me right away, ask me about how my work was going, remembering every detail that I had ever told her. It is great when a business these days can have that extra personal touch. I wouldn't even have to remind her who I was ever, because she was always one step ahead of me. We just got back from our honeymoon a few days ago and every little detail that I had discussed with Patty went exactly as she had said. She had requested to the hotel that we get a hotel room in a certain area and we did. She made sure that we sat next to eachother on every flight, and not every couple was that lucky. The trip was exactly what she had led my expectations to be. And it was the absolute perfect honeymoon. Upon arriving back I even received an e-mail from her asking how it went and wanting to see pictures. :) I would recommend this business to everyone!

Next year I have signed up to take the jazz cruise in Portugal. That will be something different and I know that I will receive excellent service. Last May I hurriedly left two items on the ship, two Limoges plates purchased at Monet's home. Two telephone calls to the cruise director assured me they had been mailed to me, but they never showed and I begrudgingly tried to forget about my carelessness with these not so cheap items. Yesterday I received a message from Mrs. Brumley, that she had run the same cruise in France and the package was still on the ship addressed to me! She has now sent them to me from Earthbound"s office. Wonders never cease. I highly recommend booking a tour with Earthbound Expedtions.

My wife & I have been on two AMAZING vacations planned by Lexi, but this review is specifically for…read moreour honeymoon. As the groom, I took on "honeymoon planning," and to be honest, was struggling at it. Feeling overwhelmed, I reached out to Lexi, who in the past had planned a vacation for us in Italy (which was stunning). I was on the phone with Lexi within 24 hours, describing what we were looking for in a honeymoon and asking if her service would be a good fit for us. She was honest with us in what her service could provide, and we ended up giving her the keys to our honeymoon. It was perfect. Lexi was careful about respecting our budget, and with that in mind, gave us 3-4 realistic options for trips we could take. We settled on Anguilla -- an island I had literally never heard of -- with an extra stop in St. Martin, and it was everything we had asked for. Side note, if you enjoy beautiful beaches, wonderful people, relaxation and delicious food, go to Anguilla. The BEST part about working with Lexi is that the experience does not end when the planning is finished. Lexi was available to us throughout the trip, from packing and pre-departure, and then during the trip for things as simple as finding us the best rental cars, modifying our reservations while we relaxed at the beach, or finding the coolest little spots to explore. A final note on how helpful Lexi is - there was an unfortunate death in our family while we were on the honeymoon. Lexi was immediately available and helpful in evaluating our options and planning our return home. While I hope that doesn't come up during a vacation for anyone else, if it does, you want Lexi on your team. I cannot recommend her more highly.

However, for a friend's milestone birthday celebration, I was pressed for time and felt the need to resort to a travel agent. I found Anderson Travel on the internet and chose them because they purported to being experts in the South Pacific (original destination intended) and Hawaii (actual destination). Terry, my agent, was only moderately helpful in the booking process. Mostly she didn't really bother to get to know me and my preferences and so couldn't make any informed recommendations. She actually gave me too many choices, all of which I had to look up on the internet in order to make a decision, which I could have done on my own in the first place if I had the time. We went to three islands, and her recommendation for condo rental on Maui was spot-on. We stayed at the Maui Hill (ResortQuest, I believe), which was great. After that, everything went down hill. She incorrectly printed our connecting flight times to The Big Island, so we ended up missing our flight. Our splurge resort there, which Terry highly touted, was a complete disaster. Kona Village was a superb location with lovely hales, and truly horrid service. We even had to call Anderson Travel while there in order to resolve an issue with a dinner reservation, of all things. In Kauai, I requested something a bit cheaper to offset the cost of Kona Village. Mind you, Terry did stress that we'd feel a big step down after Kona Village, but we're used to staying in a variety of types of quality lodging, so we weren't concerned. Unfortunately, Terry's recommendation, The Best Western Plantation Hale, was perhaps the worst hotel I've ever seen at over $100/night. The room was very dusty and musty - the windows clearly hadn't been opened in years - the furniture was essentially plastic, the unit hadn't been remodeled since it was built in the 60s, and the bedroom and deck faced on a busy road so was very noisy. We literally checked in, used the phone long enough to locate another place, and checked out. The place we found in Poipu, across from the beach, was gorgeous and not that much more than the Plantation Hale. When we returned and had to deal with Terry for our refunds on unused hotel and tour, and the issues with Kona Village, she was extremely UNhelpful. She was happy enough to take our money, at almost $5k/person for the trip, but she couldn't even tell us how much our refund would be. She indicated she was "not privvy to that information." She did nothing to sort the issues with Kona Village and generally acted like she just wanted to get us out of her hair. Needless to say, if I'm ever pressed to use a travel agent again, it won't be Anderson Travel.
