What was suppose to be an exciting upcoming trip to Belize (which this office "specializes" in), my wife and I Googled travel agencies nearby to get more information. We're not experts, so we wanted to consult someone who does this all day. This company HAD great reviews, so why not? My first call to Sue Doyle was our first time brainstorming the trip. We wanted to visit several countries due to the close proximity and I requested more information on how to do it. When I got the quote, everything looked great until I started scrolling down and reading through Sue Doyle and her partner Sue Castillo's correspondence... OOPS! They belittled us for wanting to visit other locations and completely humiliated us over email. I returned her voicemail by asking her to review the same document as I was. "Okay. Stupid way to do it, but the client is always right, right?" **crickets** If this was in any way our fault, I wouldn't be wasting my time writing this review. This is how they perceive and treat their customers without their knowledge. I refuse to do business with a wolf in sheep's clothing. And for what seems to be a dying industry, this didn't do them any favors.

All of my best vacations were booked by Sue Doyle at Mill Ave Travel, now Your Travel Center. The…read morefirst trip was to Hawaii with my family and everything was perfect, Sue has a knack for picking hotels and booking tours. My children and I traveled to Rome and stayed in a hotel close to the Opera house that was perfect for me an two teenagers. One of the best things about booking with Sue is that if I ever have trouble while on a trip, she is there to help me. Expedia, other online booking sites and the airlines are nowhere to be found if you have a problem while on your trip. I had to get home quickly from Nairobi when I had problems with my business here in Phoenix, and Sue and her staff were able to get me back with out much extra cost and without the usual problems. I always know that I can count on her if a problem arises while on a trip. I would never book an overseas trip or any kind of vacation without Sue!

When we selected Fantastica Italia to organize our tour of Northern Italy, our chief concern was…read morethat the company is based in the United States, far from where we would be should problems arise. We soon learned that MariaLaura continually monitors her clients' tours to ensure that all proceeds according to plan. A native Italian, she has comprehensive and intimate knowledge of every region of Italy, including areas quite off the beaten track where we intended to go. She has a vivacious personality and a genuine interest in getting to know her clients and understanding their travel styles and preferences. While she was charting out our itinerary, we stayed in touch by phone or email, working out all of the details. The trip she planned for us involved stays in seven cities, starting in Genoa, looping south through Cinque Terre and Florence, turning westward through Bologna and Parma, and finishing in Torino (all cities besides Florence were new to us). She booked all transfers and hotels, working with several local travel companies. The entire tour was indeed fantastic in every way, and went without a hitch. We had contact information for the local companies, and on the few occasions when we needed to be in touch with them (for example, when our boat tour of Cinque Terre had to be postponed because of bad weather), they were absolutely responsive and reliable. All of the drivers were punctual and personable, and even those who professed not to speak English spoke quite a bit and were eager to point out sites and provide interesting background information. Hotels were all first-rate and very well located (always an important criterion for us). MariaLaura booked walking tours in each of the cities we visited, and all of these tours were wonderful and essential to our experience. Otherwise, we were on our own in each of the cities to explore as we saw fit. Since we know Europe quite well and are comfortable with European languages, this worked out very well. (It's less likely that we'd try this approach in other parts of the world.) We took a fabulous day trip from Genoa exploring the western Italian Riviera and Monaco without a guide but only a driver, who took us from place to place and even to some places that he didn't know but that we had read about. On days when we were transferring from one city to another we tried to stop at points of interest along the way. For example, on our way from Bologna to Parma we stopped in Modena to tour the Casa Pavarotti, the Ferrari Museum, and the medieval city center. It's important to note that we could not have done such a tour on our own with a rental car. Parking would have been next to impossible in many of the places we visited. We were able to get out and explore while the driver waited and picked us up at a pre-appointed spot. MariaLaura also booked several excellent specialty tours, including an unforgettable private sunset boat tour of Cinque Terre and a small-group tour outside Parma (just four people) featuring locations where Parmigiano Reggiano, balsamic vinegar, and prosciutto are produced. MariaLaura was very helpful and patient with us as our plans developed. When we found out that tickets were available for a performance of Aida at the Teatro Verdi in Busseto (outside Parma) on a certain date, she reworked the schedule to make sure we would be there. This was not a trivial matter, since the timeframe was narrow and hotel reservations for the hotels we wanted were not readily available. We appreciated the way she willingly took on the challenge and got back to us quickly with a revised schedule that worked out perfectly. She is truly a gem. The cost for this trip, not inexpensive, was nevertheless a very good value. MariaLaura worked with us to tweak the program so as to keep it reasonably on budget. Our tour of Northern Italy was truly a dream vacation. Having been to Italy a number of times, there are still areas that we have not explored. If and when we plan another trip, we hope to do it through Fantastica Italia.

Appointment made about a week prior to coming in because it's required. Without an appointment you might as well walk back out the door. On the plus side, it was much easier to schedule here then it was with the City of Chandler. Word has it the Post Office was four weeks out. We arrived maybe 30 minutes, give or take, prior to our appointment. And the appointment confirmation email does say to arrive at the exact time. This worked out fine because we needed to redo our paperwork. In the meantime our credentials were taken so copies could be made, we were given the appropriate forms and directed to the clipboards, took a seat to complete the new form(s). The young woman that greeted us and provided the appropriate forms (DS-82 and DS-11) for us to complete, came by to check on our status, gave us back our IDs, and reminded us of the form of payment accepted for passport(s) we requested, what to include in memo, and amount of processing fee handled by ASU and who that needed to be paid. Shortly after that we were invited to take a seat at Mr. J's desk (sorry, couldn't remember if it was Joshua or ...) where we went over more specific details, like verifying our passport photos were recent, passed over our cc's and personal checks, signed the application in his presence, etc. I inquired about turn around time and if it might be necessary to pay for expediting the process and he had us both convinced we would receive our passports within a reasonable period of time and not likely needing to pay the additional $65 for expedited processing. Fingers crossed. So we're looking forward to receiving our passport, the return of my old and expired passport card, and me with both passport and passport card -cuz why not?! before our upcoming trip. We were done and out the door before quarter after the hour of our scheduled appointment. Efficiently run. Polite and knowledgeable staff. Don't tell them I told you.

I confirmed this information over the phone and was told that this was fine. I show up have the entire appointment only to be told at the end that they could not sign the paper which was the entire point of the appointment. The nurse was very nice and it was not her fault but man this is really fucking disappointing. Especially since I was told directly over the phone that bringing the form was fine. Which is the whole reason I am upset If I just showed up without telling anyone I needed something signed of course that is my fault, but to be lied to and then not even offered a discount for the inconvenience is ridiculous. I was also told over the phone that the appointment was $99 for the consultation and I got an email stated if I did pre-checkin paper work that the consultation would be $25 off discount making my total $75 total. Of course another lie because when I asked about it I was told the consultation was actually $125 which is hilarious so basically the $25 discount is also a scam because they are just gonna add $25 to whatever total you end up having im sure.
