I was trying to plan a vacation with my family, spending hours and days on those dozens of travel websites, with the all the pop-ups and the fine print, and the feeling of "i'm about to be scammed". I made one call to Travel Selection, told them roughly what I want, and how much I want to spend, and just like the various options were researched for me and presented to me. I chose one, and everything was done for me. Got a great deal to the DR, had a great time. Didn't have to worry about a thing, they even planned some of the entertainment during our stay. When we were returning: catastrophe! A series of canceled flights because of some far away storm! Angry crowds at the airport, no end in sight. I make one call, and they're on it! They rerouted us, didn't cost us anything and we got home almost around when we had planned to. THIS is why people use travel agents. I'm never wrecking two work weeks again to plan a one week trip again!! I've been using them ever since. Helen is the greatest travel agent--and i'm not exaggerating here--on the face of planet Earth!! She WILL go to bat for you, whether it's to find you that deal, to find you an urgent ticket when everyone says it can't be done, to get you out of a tough spot. Family treatment every time!

We have also recommended this agency to a lot of our friends and family and they have been very happy with all the services they have provided over the years and they also had enjoyed all the trips they booked with Travel Selection!

No one has called me back. I have traveled to Italy (multiple times), Greece, Alaska, Caribbean, Mexico, and Ireland. This company never had me as a client and never will, but I would have been a good one to have. A little communication would have gone a long way, huge mistake for them.

What made All Inclusivez exceptional is their friendliness, it wasn't just about picking out a package, but about me as the customer! Me and my girlfriend wanted to relax after a long semester of hard work, and when I told them Id prefer it if there wouldn't be kids, they catered just that. To make it even easier, they provided me with suggestions on where to eat, which made surprising my girl all the more possible. Thank you All Inclusivez for making the process the smoothest I have ever encountered and I cannot wait to go through you guys again once spring break comes around the corner! On top of all this, Secrets is honestly one of the best resorts I have ever been to! with a number of fine cousin and best of all entertainment! I will not forget the fire show that they had our 2nd to last night before our departure, leaving us to our grips! also big shoutout to Aleksander the bartender! That guy was honestly the coolest and funniest bartender I have ever met. Once again all thanks to All Inclusivez, I have had such an amazing and memorable vacation

When you say you don't like the options, they get mad that they have to do more options and send extremely rude emails. Be very careful.... on second thought, don't waste your time with them. You can go onto Apple Vacations and plan your trip yourself.

This review is a few years late, but I generally had a good experience working with Amy and Kate…read more They helped make sense of a lot of wedding craziness, made a really lovely wedding website and did a lot of helpful booking for family which was fantastic. The downsides I'd say were that the resort wasn't NEARLY as nice as it had been pitched to me. The food was iffy, and my husband and I both got food poisoning (luckily after our wedding). The rooms were musty. And a lot of guests expressed that they could have gotten their hotels booked slightly cheaper than they did through Amy's team. We had our wedding in the Dominican Republic at Dreams Palm Beach FYI. And we loved the wedding coordinator on site (Virgilio) - he was fantastic, and the day itself was BEAUTIFUL and pretty perfect. Overall, the experience was a fun adventure, and my guests had the best time. We don't think we'd go back to this resort or maybe even DR in general, but it was very helpful having Amy's team there to help us along the way.

They were clear in explanations, had a very quick response time, and always sought out answers from the hotel quickly. They worked up until the very last minute with guests changing requests and really went above and beyond. They were able to get great rates and additional events for our group which we would not have been able to get working with the hotel directly. They helped me enormously during my wedding planning process and it was great peace of mind knowing the travel aspect was in good hands.

Even though i am only 24, I have traveled most of my life. Across the USA. Bermuda, Curaçao,…read moreBahamas etc. However it was always my dream to travel to Asia. After graduating from college, I decided to take my dream vacation and go to Vietnam. However since I have never traveled to Asia before, I decided to play it safe and talk with a travel agent. I went to First Class Travel with high hopes but sadly had a very disappointed experience. I wanted to get an idea of how much a flight cost from Chicago to Da Nang. Hilariously, I was informed that it would cost at least $2,500 for a connected flight from Chicago to Seoul and Da Nang. Having again traveled most of my life, I knew that didn't make much sense. While the travel agent said that was my only option. I looked up an American airline flight from Chicago to Da Nang with a 1 hour stop in Tokyo for $1,500. This travel agency wanted me to spend $1,000 MORE. Not only that, they would not have even booked the flight unless I booked a resort or hotel while I was in Da Nang. They also added that it was my fault that the flight options weren't as open because of the dates that I took off. And that if it was them they would ask their employer to just chance the vacation dates that I requested months in advance to make this trip work. They also had to say "Well Vietnam is an odd place to go to. I don't know why you would want to go there." Not only is this inappropriate but it's none of their business why I want to go there. So I left First class travel and did my own research. Bought my own plane ticket $1,000 cheaper and did airbnb and got a lovely beach villa for $25 a day.I had a wonderful time on my dream vacation. My advice. There is not point going to a travel agency. All the information you need is online. If you need advice on travel, ask people who have traveled there. The best way to describe First Class travel is: If you want something done right do it yourself!
