We used CIRE Travel to book our honeymoon to Europe. We were so stressed planning our wedding that…read morewe just didn't have the time to coordinate all the details to make our honeymoon perfect. We worked with Katy and she was super helpful. After countless emails and long chats on the phone, she put together the perfect itinerary for us! Our honeymoon started in Marbella, Spain, then we flew to Naples to head to the Amalfi coast, and our last stop was in Paris. She worked out all the travel arrangements between countries including car service to and from the airport to the hotel. She also had lots of knowledge on each city we were traveling to! Once our honeymoon began, all we had to do was follow the detailed itinerary they provided us with that contained all flight, hotel and transfer information. It was very smooth! Katy was also available the whole time if we needed to email or call her with questions or concerns. It was nice having that security while so far from home; especially when our luggage was temporarily lost in Italy and I was freaking out! Katy worked on making sure the luggage was located and safely delivered to our hotel. Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend using CIRE Travel for your dream honeymoon or vacation!

We had to move the flights a million different and inconvenient times and she was such a champ the whole time. I could not recommend CIRE Travel enough, ESPECIALLY Katy. She is amazing!!!!

I really enjoyed the balance of relaxing vs activities. We got to see everything Manuel Antonio and Arenal had to offer while also taking it easy. We got to do everything from snorkeling and zip lining to rafting and repelling. Sherrie is the best and I can't wait until the next trip! Pura Vida!

Not to mention the hotel rooms! I felt like a queen, with views of Volcano Arenal, or the coastline. It felt like I was in a movie the entire trip. Wish it wasn't over! Pura Vida!

Claudia helped us narrow down what would be of particular interest to us based on a conversation we had at the beginning of the planning stage. As a result, our trip was steeped in the culture, history, and food of region. Our hotels in every city were luxurious but also full of character and history. We had tours, in Lisbon, Seville, Cordoba, Toledo, Madrid, and Barcelona, some small groups and some private, and all were excellent with knowledgeable and charming guides that showed us things I'm sure I would have missed otherwise. She went above and beyond when our flight home was cancelled and helped us book a hotel for the night. Everyone was saying we would probably not find anything because there was a big soccer match playing that night and nearly everything was booked up. Plus it was probably 7 AM her time when I texted her! But she came through. We will work with her again, no doubt. She's a treasure.

She is a dream with whom to work--asking carefully about the kinds of accommodations we'd want, where, what we want to see, and activities we might want to do, etc. She listens to her clients. During our trip to Greece, she had to make numerous last minute changes to deal with family schedules and handled them with aplomb and accuracy. Our recent trip to Spain was a triumph thanks to Claudia. For our first nights in Spain, she set us up with the Hotel Colon overlooking the Barcelona Cathedral and later arranged private tours of the Alhambra in Granada and in Cordoba. The tour we had of the Alhambra in Granada was the best tour of any site I've ever received in a lifetime of travel. Our rail travel, hotels--everything was fantastic. She even called ahead in Madrid to be sure the Ramirez guitar shop would be open when we were there! The result, a brand new Preludio #1 for me. How great is that? Having worked with Claudia twice, and with great success, she will be our family's first call when next we travel overseas. All of us would recommend her in the highest possible terms.

My family was very excited to work with her and invested a lot of time and effort into planning a trip with her. We were all very excited for this trip because of all the activities she offered us at first. All of the sudden (VERY LAST MINUTE) she told the family member that was planning it for our group, that "she cannot understand" them. My family member is an immigrant but has lived and worked in the US for many years and speaks perfect English. With everything going on politically it did not give us a good feeling that ALLLL of a sudden she backs out and completely wasted our time and made us feel like we weren't important enough for her. She even went ahead and made a few derogatory comments about the questions and details my family member was asking about. After talking to many other people that have traveled with her...they have NOTHING nice to say. She will get your hopes up and leave you stranded last minute if she notices you will not make her a lot of money. I would definitely not recommend traveling with her. She says she plans trips for "all over the world" but she can't even follow through for a trip within the country. VERY disappointed.

ENJOY YOUR VACATION DON'T STRESS OVER IT!…read more After 4 hours on the computer researching the best places for my wife and I to stay for our first Greek adventure, we hadn't booked a single stay or excursion (I am very adventurous and have booked several of my own trips). We wanted this trip to be very special and we both knew we were going to need some help. I was a little hesitant at first because I don't like to do touristy vacations or book with guides or groups. Luxury Travel & Beyond was what I was looking for I just didn't know it yet. We got in touch with Antionette and we were blown away by the trip she was able to curate for us. She helped us structure the trip in the best way for the time we had and she was able to work with our budget. She presented all different options and gave us the information we needed to decide how we wanted to do our trip. She was so easy to work with and we could both feel her excitement for us to go enjoy our trip. This was my first time using an expert travel advisor and I am so glad I did. Everything about our trip was so well thought out and we felt so taken care of the entire way! It also happened to be my wife's birthday towards the end of the vacation and Antionette helped me plan several wonderful surprises to really wow my wife (I felt a little guilty even taking credit because it was so easy). Toni was in touch with us the entire trip making sure we were being taken care of and was there when we needed to make adjustments or ask for advice. Every hotel, restaurant reservation, spa experience, excursion, airport transfer, travel tip and concierge service was par excellence. Worth every penny. Worry free vacation that was tailored exactly to our liking. Go with her recommendations she knows what she is talking about! We were able to fully enjoy our 10 days in Greece. Beyond what we were expecting! Thank you Toni! 10 out of 10 will be using Luxury Travel & Beyond for our next vacation!

One could argue that the internet has made travel agencies redundant - you can just type in your…read moreflight requirements on Orbitz, Travelocity, Expedia, Kayak, et al. and buy a ticket. However - sometimes travel requirements are just too complicated to type into a search box. You need the help of a knowledgable individual with access to consolidator airfares to help reduce the cost of the trip and is seasoned enough to help you plan out a trip quickly and easily. I ran into such a situation when planning a trip for my wife that required her to travel to India via the Middle East with multiple stops. After dinking around with various internet travel sites and coming up with umpteen variations of itineraries (some which were absolutely ridiculous - like flying from the US to Europe to the Middle East to China and then back to India), economy ticket prices ranging from $1,500 to $10,000 and pricing that was not always accurate on the travel engine (when you click on an itinerary that you liked, it would check pricing and the system would tell you that it would cost $400 more than what was originally quoted) - I decided to call a professional. I spoke with Shaheen at Aakash Travels and laid out my specifications. Shaheen listened intently and was quickly able to identify the airlines that would likely offer the best fares and most convenience (e.g., limited stops, connections, etc.). After our initial conversation, Shaheen quickly got me an itinerary that worked well (limited number of connections; adequate time between connections for immigration, customs; and no long layovers), and for about $100 less than the lowest internet travel engine prices (and about $200 less than an internet consolidator). Completing the transaction was easy, Shaheen made the reservation and sent me the itinerary via a link to a website. After approval, I simply charged it to my credit card. I had a great experience working with Shaheen at Aakash Travels. She was professional, knowledgable and easy to work with. If one finds themselves taking an international trip - it is worth a few minutes to check with Aakash Travels to see if they can either save you some money through a consolidator airfare or come up with a more convenient itinerary.
