The vacation she put together for us was spectacular. Her travel knowledge is beyond remarkable. She knew things that I would have never known. The cost was much lower than anything I could have done. The air travel was set up without a hitch. The transfers were great. The entire experience was perfect. I already have a different package set up with Christine for my 35th wedding anniversary. I absolutely recommend her highly for any of your travel needs.

African Safari ..... Oh yes! Christine Chalmers was our travel advisor at TravelStore Sacramento…read more She put together an incredible package for multiple safaris in Africa. She had us start in Cape Town to acclimate, tour and relax. Then it was on to Safaris in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. It was everything we had hoped for and more. Most importantly, the accommodations, transportation and organizational aspects of the trip were such that it was hasslefree and first rate everywhere we went. Christine Chalmers is a professional Travel Advisor and a thoughtful, caring person. Without hesitation I'll tell my friends to call her rather than leave things to chance.

I've booked multiple trips through Becky at Crystal Clear Travel -- Cabo San Lucas, Costa Rica,…read moreItaly, and now Aruba -- and every single one has been amazing! Becky is seriously one of a kind. She's super attentive and really takes the time to get to know you personally, which makes all the difference. She doesn't just book your trip; she helps guide you toward what fits you best. She's so knowledgeable and experienced, but also fun, uplifting, and just a really strong, genuine woman. When I travel with her group, I always feel taken care of. She keeps things organized, makes it fun, and looks out for everyone. She's been doing this for years, so she knows the good spots -- and she's honest if there's an area that might not be great to wander into. That kind of care and awareness makes me feel safe and confident while still having a great time. Her travel group is also amazing -- I've met such wonderful people through it, and Becky creates such a positive, easygoing vibe wherever we go. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about her or Crystal Clear Travel. Becky is the real deal -- if you're thinking about booking a trip or joining a travel group, she's the one you want in your corner.

Sorry for the delay, but as the saying goes, "Better late, than never."…read more I typically create my own itinerary whenever hubby and I go on a trip, but I didn't want to mess up on a place we've never been before, esp. since this was going to be our anniversary gift to ourselves. In addition, I wanted us to island hop to Santorini and Crete. So I was happy to find a local travel agency. Nick was so easy to work with. We gave him dates of when we wanted to go and our budget. And the only thing I wanted to be responsible for was the excursions. He worked with us when we wanted to downside on certain hotels and answered questions at a reasonable time. Despite having a few questionable logistics, everything worked out smoothly during our trip to Greece. At first, we weren't going to do private transportation, but having it from and to the airport really makes a difference. In the end, we never had to call Nick for anything during our trip. We were able to enjoy every bit of our trip without a problem. So, thank you for making our anniversary trip truly memorable.

**** Arik has been…read moremy corporate and personal travel agent for 16 years. This weekend is the perfect example of why. Mom guilt hit me, so I called him and asked him to plan a last-minute family getaway. Within hours, he had everything coordinated. I shut my laptop, grabbed a rental car, and drove through the night to Key West knowing our itinerary was taken care of. Arik doesn't just book travel, he gets to know his clients. He knows my family, understands what my kids will love, and consistently finds experiences that become lifelong memories. This trip included an incredible shark and dolphin tour that he specifically chose because it had the best reviews. Seeing dolphins in the wild had been on my bucket list for years, and thanks to him, it finally happened. What I appreciate most is the peace of mind. I never have to spend hours researching hotels, activities, or logistics because I know Arik has already done it. He is responsive, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and always goes the extra mile. My children have grown up with unforgettable vacations, and so many of those memories exist because of Arik's care and planning. If you're looking for someone who treats your trip as if it were his own family's, you won't find anyone better.

While I have worked with many travel agents over my 20+ years in the Entertainment Industry, I can…read morecategorically say that I've had no better experience than with Nick Hammond at Exquisite Travel Group. From the second we were introduced, he made himself completely available to us, and our many inquires. He asked thoughtful questions to find out our "musts" and "must nots" and "dream/wish list" items during a vacation (in this case, our honeymoon) and gave us multiple unbelievable options - in multiple price ranges. In the end, he found us the most fantastic deal on a brand new all inclusive resort that not only hit every one of our "musts", it even included a bunch of our wish list & dream items we never thought an all inclusive could have! The icing on the cake? a steal of a price! He also coordinated items we never would have thought to ask about - all of our transfers, excursions, he's even helping connect us with the concierge at the hotel in advance to set up special "us" moments during the trip. He even made sure to book our flights in an upgradable fare class so we can be in first class for our flights! I figured (as it's been my experience with travel agents in the past) that after we booked, that's the last we'd hear from Nick. Wow, was I wrong. He checks in with recommendations, and to see if we have questions at least once a week. This level of service from Nick & Exquisite Travel Group is unreal, and frankly unheard of anymore today. We haven't even gotten to GO on this trip yet and I'm already excited to plan our next adventure with Nick. Nick & Exquisite Travel Group: We cannot thank you enough for all of your amazingness and we look forward to a long travel friendship - we'll be referring every single person we know! If you're looking to book your next trip, RUN do not walk, to Nick and Exquisite Travel Group!!!

From our first email, through first conversation - with inventory of our interests and locations and timing, through multiple meetups and reviews of plans... every connection prior to departure was professional, thorough, friendly, and accommodating. Matt gave us all the facts and all the "insider" tips to make our AUS trip beyond our expectations. While traveling, Matt was supportive of us when we contacted him abroad for a question or two - always friendly, professional and supportive. The trip was top-notch, and we attribute this to Matt's careful and attentive attention to our needs and planning details. Now home again in California, we've shared our top-notch experience with Matt at Sea Escape Travel with several friends who now want to go to AUS and work with Matt. We highly recommend this Agency.

I was so thrilled because it's often so overwhelming to find these things online, especially when traveling with a number of people. And it's so nice to see one price tag for a package deal -- just makes it all so much easier! Unfortunately, we had to put this trip on hold...However, I really wanted to take the time to review Matt for his services. He definitely knows the ins & outs of Hawaii travel. I know that when the time is right and my family and I can take the trip we will absolutely give Matt at Sea Escape a call for the booking.

If you could get the same or better pricing from Nick than from the big websites, and with amazing personal service and attention to detail, why not tell him what you need and let him handle your arrangements for you? Save yourself time and money and help a small business owner and his family rather than giving your business to a large faceless corporation. Give Nick a call, you'll be happy you did!
