I used this travel company to help book a summer abroad trip for my daughter, who attends UC Davis, as well as the rest of the family to join her when her program was over. While Tamara did a very good job of helping me with reservations and was very responsive to phone calls and emails, I have to warn you to stay away from this company because they sell their clients' telephone numbers. I have had my cell number for over 15 years, and am very careful about who I give it out to. In all those years I have never received nuisance spam calls, until I gave my number to STA Travel. Within days I was receiving automated messages congratulating me on the trips I had won. It progressed from there, until now, four months later, I receive multiple calls every day from every nuisance company you can think of. They wake up me up the morning, bother me all day at work, and call at night. I'm furious that a supposedly reputable company like STA Travel would have such a lack of respect for its customers and lack of concern for its customers' privacy. I will probably have to change my phone number because of this, and it is infuriating. Consider yourself warned. read more
