My request wasn't difficult, I'm first generation Italian and wouldn't have had a problem booking directly, I contacted them because my husband has some health issues and I felt they'd be able to help/advise with that. When people show you how incompetent they are, believe them.

We went on our trip at the beginning of July and I'm now ready to provide an update. We had the…read moretime of our lives and Jim along with Ride the Wave were a big part of making it happen. We had some issues with 2 tours that we booked through Ride the Wave and Jim was fast to respond and assist. One of the tours we ended up having to cancel due to scheduling issues. I reached out to Jim to let him know and he worked on getting the refund process started right away and I received a confirmation email from the tour vendor the same day. We're now just waiting for it to get credited back to our card. The peace of mind of our trip being taken care of by professionals is invaluable. I can't recommend enough going through a travel agency for big trips because you just never know what could happen. Ride the Wave is as good as they come and I'm looking forward to using their services again for our next big trip!

When I was in high school and college, I took ski bus trips every winter. I jumped back into…read moreskiing/snowboarding about 13 years ago and had that craving to start going on these bus trips again. When I heard about Alpine, I booked my first trip with them last year to Telluride. Alpine has been around since 1969. Their goal is to provide affordable hassle-free trips to some of the best ski destinations in the U.S. They offer trips to Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and even a summer trip to Chile. Majority of their packages are three day ski trips that include lodging, your lift pass and transportation. They even have single day trips to Sunrise if you want to stay local. Lee and John are great to work with and do their best to accommodate your needs. They have a great partnership with Telluride and offer a fun popular trip called Alpine Daze where they will bus several people from the Valley to Colorado for a fun weekend that includes a themed party with prizes. It's their biggest trip of the season. I just recently attended their Alpine Daze weekend that celebrated their 50th anniversary and had a blast. If you are a die-hard skier like me, then I highly recommend Alpine Ski Club as your vacation planner. I've never had an issue and they have been great to me every year. Get on their mailing list to receive their yearly brochure of all their trips in the mail.

With over 100 guests, from over a dozen states, she went out of her way to make dozens of changes in party size, altering accommodations, etc. and all done with a great attitude (and often answering emails while she was out of the office). We could not have asked for better care and personalized service. . Kerri came highly recommended by a dear friend after I had several dismal calls with other agents who were slow to respond or tried pressuring me into places we had no interest in. Kerri was always available, thorough, had great insights to so many properties, that she and Sun loved we're our clear choice from our second email exchange. . Our experience was seamless and felt very cared for every step of the way. They even sent us the sweetest most personalized gift basket during our stay from all local businesses, not to mention a show-stopping flower arrangement! It was extremely thoughtful and unexpected. We can't wait to user Kerri and her team for our next international travel adventures! So thankful for the trip of a lifetime thanks to Kerri and Sun Lover!

Updating my review after talking to the bride: I am a…read morecontent creator, so a publicist has always handled my hotel reservations--literally for a decade. I'm used to people going above and beyond. I only used Kerry because I was a bridesmaid and she was the travel agent involved. If you're thinking about using Kerry, know that she will get the job done--100%! I booked the room, paid her for it, and had no issues. The transfer went perfectly, and her emails and advice were accurate. However, I later found out she didn't get me the best price. She even offered to price match, which tells me she knew she wasn't offering the lowest rate. I feel a bit ripped off. It was a significant price difference--not just $100. So, if you're considering using her, be aware that she will get you a group rate, but not necessarily the best rate. I was also annoyed that she didn't automatically secure or offer early check-in. She knew we were arriving early and that we had a young child in tow (we didn't end up bringing her, but she didn't know that). She should have anticipated this and gone the extra mile. The wedding was at a large resort, and we were checking in on a Wednesday--not exactly a peak travel day. While I should have thought about this myself, I'm used to it being taken care of, so I didn't even think to ask. She didn't even offer! I felt like this was lazy. So, if you just want the job done, go with Kerry. She won't disappoint on that front. But, If you want the best travel agent and the lowest price, go with someone else.

From the ease of booking, to the fantastic sights of the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas, everything was designed around our Grand Canyon experience. Our guide, Princely, was an unbelievable source of knowledge on everything from history to Native American Indian lore and geology. We had a great lunch at Cameron Trading Post with a chance to shop and explore the gallery. The stops along the rim were amazing and again Princely was invaluable with his knowledge and love of the area.. I can't say enough good things about this company and would give them 10 stars if I could!

The tour was comfortable and Mike made sure we were entertained. We stopped for lunch and a little shopping. The souvenir store we stopped at was amazing and huge. We had lunch on the Navajo Reservation, the Navajo Taco is great and enough for at least two. When we arrived at the Grand Canyon, Mike took us to great locations that avoided the mass crowds. He took pics and even helped us setup some pictures. He took time to show us points of interest and give a brief history; some stories and legends. The only complaint I can give is that the seat belts in the van are uncomfortable and don't seem to release well. Otherwise, this was well worth it and highly recommended.
