I contacted an agent to help with my families three week trip to Europe. The agent was kind,…read morefriendly and knowledgeable so I was really excited to have her plan our trip. I followed up 1 week after the call and she let me know she would have something to me in a week. This was February 10th and the last I have heard since. Since February 10th, I have been unable to get a response from her or the company about the travel plan. I sent multiple kind emails asking for a timeline, left voicemails and spoke to the person who answered the main phone pleading for someone to call me back. Against my better judgement, I still stuck with it thinking they were helping me. A full month later, I have still not received an ounce of communication and we are having to move onto a different company. It is putting our family in a bad situation and now is a month of time wasted. I have no idea why this agent "ghosted me" and is refusing the event reply to an email or call me back. A simple, "I am still working on it" or "it turns out I don't have the bandwidth to handle your request" email would have sufficed, however I can't event get that from her or the company. It is really disappointing and very unprofessional. This is my first experience with a travel agent in over 20 years and it was disappointing to say the least. I'd caution you on using Willamette International Travel if this is the way they feel the need to treat their customers. I can't imagine this happening if a problem with a flight or hotel reservation would come up, you would be on your own to figure it out.

Jenne at Willamette Int'l Travel helped me research an array of options and was able to use some creativity to save me money. She was very helpful and responsive. I would certainly consider using them again if I am traveling internationally, or if you are looking at a flight/hotel combo.

My family booked a custom tour of Greece in April 2022 and it was one of the most amazing family…read morevacation we've ever experienced. No trip is perfect, but this one comes as close to perfection as you can get. We did 10 days across Greece which included Athens, Corinth, Mycenae, Epiduras, Delphi, Meteora, Mykonos, Delos, and Santorini. As you can see from the packed itinerary, there was a lot of logistics to be figured out. Our driver Kostas was amazing. We were driven to each site we were visiting and a private tour guide was there to meet us at every step of the way. We have all been completely spoiled by this trip Encounter tours took care of everything except our flights to and from Athens. I will say it again "our driver Kostas was amazing!" We felt like family. In fact, when (not if) we come back to Greece, we will be requesting him again. The one singular problem we had during the trip (which was hotel internal miscommunication) was handled by Chevy at Encounter Tours in real time despite being the middle of the night back in the USA. If you are thinking about booking a trip to Greece then using Encounter Tours is a no-brainer. If you're thinking about booking a trip to one of the other areas they serve I would seriously consider it as well. We will be taking another trip with them in the future!

We just got back from the most magical trip in Turkey, thanks to Chevy Noralti of Encounter Tours!…read more I was initially hesitant to travel to Turkey and to trust a smaller tour agency (I was scammed by an agency last year). I'm so happy that we took a chance and went with Chevy. We had pretty lofty goals for our itinerary as we wanted jammed packed days of seeing all the major sights and the coast; Chevy's itinerary blew it out of the water. Before the trip, he was very patient with us as we finalized the itinerary. During the trip, we felt like VIPs with our drivers/tour guides - they were all very professional, timely, and friendly. All the accommodations were beautiful and were in the perfect location. The communication was stellar, even after the trip as he checked in to make sure we had a great trip. I HIGHLY recommend Encounter Tours.. thank you, Chevy & team, for making our trip to memorable!

We needed an FBI background check with Apostille. We were charged about $300 each. We did get the…read morebackground check and we did get that back fairly quickly. Our apostille however, ... we were told it would take 2 months - but that turned out to be a guess and in the end it was going to arrive too late to be of use to us. So, they then told us that we could pay an extra $200 each and get it expedited. However, they couldn't guarantee that it would arrive any faster. We went with another service who would have done it ALL for half the price and had a 10 day guarantee. Don't get rolled by PDX Fingerprinting.

Stumbled upon Soltura when reading a blog post about traveling in Cuba and decided to give it a…read moretry. SO glad that I did. My boyfriend and I traveled to Cuba last June and it was an amazing experience that we could not have done on our own without Soltura. We truly felt it was an immersive experience and got to learn so much about the culture, people, and history. We stayed in a casa particular with generous and welcoming hosts, went to various art-related community projects, music/dance venues, and got to travel in tons of vintage cars. We met musicians, students, doctors, a small business owner, and more people in Cuba who truly make it what it is. Ian and Assol were amazing guides - gracious, friendly, knowledgable, and very perceptive about what we would both enjoy. I would consider them friends after the trip. If you're looking for a very comfortable, luxurious tour company this isn't for you. If you want to travel and truly see a place, then it is. Loved Soltura.

The entire trip was wonderful from start to finish and Ian ("Yon" as pronounced by the Cuban people) left no details to chance. This experience was profound and life changing. Ian made so many special experiences possible for us. I loved learning about the art and culture of Havana through the expertise of the young and knowledgeable guides and docents. We were able to immerse ourselves in the lives and experiences of such a wide variety of people through the relationships Ian has built over the years. I especially loved learning about the Community Projects that enrich the lives of so many Cuban people. One of my favorite experiences was learning about and hearing the young talent in Mailan's Children's Choir and befriending Mailan and her lovely daughter, Alicia. I had so much fun traveling to Playa Zapata and Trinidad with the group. The snorkeling was the best I have ever done and we had so many hilarious and fun adventures with the group. Ian leads these tours with so much heart and dedication. There is not a question asked or subject mentioned that goes unnoticed. I really believe Ian is magic: whenever I asked about anything, somehow without any fuss, that thing would appear in front of me. Some favorite memories include drinking Canchacharas (yes....I can pronounce that correctly now) in Trinidad, our adventure to get the local honey (miel), doing the "Becca" dance at The Tropicana, and buying expensive aged rum at the gas station. The accomodations and restaurants are arranged with so much thought and detail. The casas were spotless and accommodating. Our experiences were too varied to detail here, but were all so terrific. I felt safe and comfortable for the entire trip. The small groups are really nice (max 10 people) and allow for a flexibility that I really enjoyed. I feel like I gained many special friends from this trip. Ian and Soltura Travel provide an incredible, fun, varied, and immersive Cuba experience. I recommend without reservation.

Traquair House in the Borderlands was a definite highlight. They even have a hedge maze out back! All that aside, Ginger knocked it out of the park. She put together a trip that allowed both of us to see some bucket list places in the region. There was never an issue of a lack of transportation, or a hotel failing to recognize our booking. We spent nearly three weeks trekking across the UK and everything was right on schedule. We did miss a ferry on the way to the Isle of Skye, but that was our fault. The three hour detour was worth it though. Scotland is one of the most beautiful countries you'll ever see. I could go on all day, but the point I'm trying to make is that Ginger put together a dream vacation of a lifetime. So many memories and moments that we'll never forget. If you're considering a trip to the UK, give Ginger a call. We'll without a doubt be contacting her again for a future trip to the Isles! Cheers Ginger!
