Our daughter was attending a weeklong conference in Tokyo with Google/YouTube and had asked us if we were interested in joining her, as she planned to do some more touring after her conference was over, over the Thanksgiving holidays in 2019. We jumped at the chance. We had ideas about some of the cities and activities we were interested in, however, we also had to take into account the use a rollator, as I was planning on a hip replacement early in 2020, and it was crucial that I rely on it. I had already booked the three of us in a brand new boutique hotel close to our daughter's Tokyo conference for the first week when she would be working and my husband and I would be visiting sites. Kervin seamlessly, incorporated the Tokyo week into our touring and included tours with our daughter whenever her schedule allowed. He paired us with private guides throughout the trip, who were knowledgeable and most enjoyable. From Tokyo, we visited Takayama, Shirakawa-go, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima and back to Tokyo for our return home. Explorient worked with us when we preferred a different hotel in Kyoto, and all the activities and guides they provided based on our preferences were top notch. Ranging from rickshaw tours, boat tours, tea ceremonies, cooking lessons. foodie tours, sake tasting, shrines, temples, and museums visits, (just to name a few), as well as all our train travel including Shinkansen trips and luggage transfers were on time and without glitches. We look back on this holiday and on Explorient's expert guidance as one on our most if not the most enjoyable of all our vacations. We will not hesitate to call on Kervin Yu again in the future to provide us a most delightful experience; we highly recommend Explorient and Kervin. Vivian F. Berkeley, CA

The final payment of $25,000 was due and I asked if they could extend the final payment date, which they did for 10 days until I received the surgery results. On the tenth day I called them and told them I had to cancel could we have our deposit back. They said NO that I would have to go through the insurance company to get my deposit back. The last thing I wanted to do after surgery was deal with an insurance company. It meant filling out multiple forms by both myself and the doctor. Tauck obviously doesn't care about keeping loyal customers. We have since booked a trip with a different tour company and will no longer use Tauck.

My first impression - Michele is extremely friendly, diligent, and knowledgeable in her work. Though I live in New York, the entire process was so easy! She was always available when contacting for any questions. I was indecisive between choosing, Bahamas or Punta Cana, to book a trip. Michele gave feedback from her previous experiences because she had visited both places, which was very helpful in choosing a location. Also, she provided the pros and cons for both places. She did not push me to book immediately, and told me to take my time to think about which location I would choose, which I really appreciated. The next day, I contacted Michele and finally made my decision! She was completely organized when sending over the authorization form, and sent me all the information regarding my trip via email; the process was straightforward and easy. It was the best decision ever to choose Michele. Making all the plans for an overseas trip can be nerve-racking and challenging, but due to Michele's knowledgeable skills, planning my trip was the total opposite. I would definitely recommend her to anyone choosing to book their trip!

I am writing this review as an experienced traveler. I have lived in 7 different countries,…read moretraveled to over 30 and am on my fifth passport. I begin with this because in all my traveling I have never used a travel agent or saw the benefit. I met Michele a few years ago and instantly liked her. She is one of those people with amazing energy. So when it was time to book my honeymoon, even though I knew where I wanted to go and stay, I decided to ask Michele to handle the booking and all the details for me. This was at least one thing I didn't have to think or worry about. As it turned out, it was the best decision that I have made in a very long time. The month before the wedding was my busiest of my working career. Added to that, the last minute details of the wedding and the wedding itself. My life was crazy insane but I knew that I would be able to relax on my honeymoon which was scheduled 2 days after my wedding. Here's where it gets good... The day after the wedding it was time to check in to our flights. I got my passport out to put in the details and the expiration date. I kept looking at it and it wasn't making sense to me...then reality hit.. My passport had expired the day before. I couldn't believe it.. How did this happen to me? I know better.. I'm experienced.. I always check, double check and triple check.. But this time, I hadn't because I was more concerned with getting my finance his first passport. I never thought to look at mine. My dream honeymoon was lost... along with all the money I spent to book it. After my screaming, crying and subsequent panic attack.. I started to think. I thought.. ok.. I have a travel agent.. I have heard Michele tell stories about people who this has happened to... So I texted her and said, "Hi Michele... It's amateur hour at my house at the moment... you will never believe this, but my passport has expired and I am melting down"... She instantly texted me back and told me to calm down and that she was on it. About an hour later, she got back to me and said this is the plan... "I have contacted the hotels and the transfer companies. We are all set. They have agreed to push your check in date back a day and we will be able to change the flights. Tomorrow, get up at the crack of dawn and go to the emergency passport office and get a new passport. Long story short.. I did this, got my passport and left the next day. Through this whole sage, Michele was kind and patient and constantly reassured me that everything would be fine even though I thought all was lost. If it wasn't for her, her experience and guidance, I do believe all would have been lost. It was so incredible to know that I had someone to turn to. I also truly believe that the hotels would not have been so agreeable with me directly. But because she is an agent, they want to make sure that they are helpful when they can be. This whole experience has shown me the "TRUE VALUE" of a travel agent. I was able to go on my dream honeymoon that didn't disappoint. Unbeknownst to me, Michele, had one more surprise. When we checked into our room at JADE MOUNTAIN, ST. LUCIA~ which I had been waiting to see for 10 years, we were given an upgrade.. but not any upgrade...They gave us the best room in the entire hotel..(ps.. I have never been giving an upgrade) ....and Never did I think in a million years, I ever would be staying in this room.. I laughed and cried, at the same time. My dream literally came true. It wasn't until I got back and found out that Michele on one of her many travels, had met the owner of this hotel, spoke to her about us and asked her in her sweet Michele way, if there was anything they could do for us, it would be greatly appreciated. Well.. they came through and in the most amazing way. I want to thank Michele for making this all possible. I get emotional thinking about it. She gave me the experience of a lifetime and gave me my dream honeymoon. If it wasn't for her, I don't think my honeymoon even would have happened. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am now a total convert. She will be handling all my travel in the future. Michele.. I hope you're ready! :-)

I cannot help but to laud Michele at http://www.heretothemoontravel.com/…read more Our longtime travel agent was pulling back towards retiring and was no longer able to help us. We connected to Michele at Here To The Moon, as she was one of the highest rated and best reviewed of travel agents from a web search. Michele immediately put us at ease and took charge, pricing and arranging a transatlantic and Mediterranean cruise, and coming in with a lower price (by nearly $900 p/p) through discounts that we were unaware were available to us. Michele answered all of our inquiries in a timely and complete manner. We definitely feel confident in using and recommending her, and are grateful for her knowledge and expertise.
