She is professional, courtesy, patient, and works extremely hard to place her clients with top of the line accommodations. I've used her services multiple times and she nails it every time. She never misses the mark. I just returned from an all-inclusive 5-day/4-night trip to Aruba for my 35th birthday. She placed us (3 of my friends accompanied me) at the illuminant Renaissance Resort. The decor was beautiful, the staff was attentive and accommodating and the food was amazingly delectable. I highly recommend Excalibur Travel. Don't pass up the opportunity to allow her to provide you with excellent service. Forte also booked my sister's wedding ceremony & reception, as well as all-inclusive accommodations for the whole wedding party (along with 40 plus guests) in Cabo next month. I look forward to seeing what amazing accommodations we have in store for us.

We decided, even though times are challenging financially to take a chance on her.

Suzie Q's Fun Facts:…read more This is a branch office of a larger travel agency chain (apparently) based out-of-state. If you're not careful, they will pawn you off on another branch, even if you ask for someone specific at this office...... =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ .... .which is exactly what happened to me when I called this office, asking for Jim Berkeley (who has high reviews on Yelp). I have a big birthday coming up, and am in the early stages of planning a trip to Mexico with my girlfriends to celebrate. But knowing little about Mexico, and feeling not at all like putting work into planning this trip myself, I decided to splurge on a travel agent to do the work for me. I stumbled upon Destinations & Adventures randomly on Yelp. Since it was highly rated, I decided to give them a shot. But when I called to ask for Jim Berkeley, I was told he was out of the country leading a trip. Instead of Jim, I got a call back only from a random woman in Nashville, TN (Arlene Santos, with the high-falutin' title "Director of Client Services"). This, despite having specified that I'd be willing to wait for Jim to call back once he'd returned. Arlene and I chatted. I explained what I was looking for, and she offered to assist with a distinct lack of enthusiasm. (I think she may have even said something like, "that's a bit of a difficult one.") Now, I know what you're thinking: Why bother with a travel agent who isn't enthused about helping me? I guess I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, sometimes to my detriment. But then, the first red flag: Arlene later e-mailed me that she'd have me an initial quote and some package ideas by a certain date. But that date came and went, and no quote. When I followed up with her several days later, Arlene promised a quote "by the end of the day" - but then, she only sent the names of two hotels, without any pricing or explanation (with pricing to follow later). When I finally got pricing 1.5 weeks after Arlene and I had first spoken, the pricing didn't include anything but just hotel rates (which I could have looked up myself on Expedia). No explanation of how or why she chose those two options, and she said activities weren't included. Also, I'd specifically asked her for daily pricing, since not everyone in my party would be staying for the full trip duration.... but her pricing was weekly, not daily. Amusingly, Arlene's e-mail had added tersely: "Kindly advise which one you are interested in," as if there were absolutely no room for discussion on the matter. It was these two random hotels or nothing. It was clearly time to cut bait. I responded that I thought there was a disconnect, and added: "As it took you 9 days to provide pricing for two hotels, I'm wondering whether you may be too busy to assist me? If so, I'd rather not waste your time, and instead I'll move on to another travel agent. Please let me know." Arlene's frosty response: "Sorry for not being much help. I believe it will be best for you to work with someone else." This "Director of Client Services" should be locked away in an office and never be permitted to assist clients again. Just saying. Buyer beware!

My husband and I have been traveling with Jim Berkeley and DAI Travel since 2004…read more We've been on several cruises and land tours. We've eaten in a Monastary in Russia and a goat cheese farm in France. We've been kayaking in Croatia and snorkeling in Tahiti. I can't say enough about the staff at DAI. Any last minute changes are always handled without any problem. Our last cruise was supposed to end in Athens, Greece the day of a strike so Jim Berkeley got us off the ship a day early and flew us to Istanbul for 4 days. Our hotel and tours and meals all arranged at the last minute and all wonderful. We will be traveling with DAI for years to come and would recommend you do too.

This travel agency's main business is "all-inclusive" travel, which is what I was looking for. But from what I understand they are equipped with a well traveled staff willing to help with trips from weekend getaways to "off the beaten trail" trips. Will use again for my next getaway!

We used CIRE Travel to book our honeymoon to Europe. We were so stressed planning our wedding that…read morewe just didn't have the time to coordinate all the details to make our honeymoon perfect. We worked with Katy and she was super helpful. After countless emails and long chats on the phone, she put together the perfect itinerary for us! Our honeymoon started in Marbella, Spain, then we flew to Naples to head to the Amalfi coast, and our last stop was in Paris. She worked out all the travel arrangements between countries including car service to and from the airport to the hotel. She also had lots of knowledge on each city we were traveling to! Once our honeymoon began, all we had to do was follow the detailed itinerary they provided us with that contained all flight, hotel and transfer information. It was very smooth! Katy was also available the whole time if we needed to email or call her with questions or concerns. It was nice having that security while so far from home; especially when our luggage was temporarily lost in Italy and I was freaking out! Katy worked on making sure the luggage was located and safely delivered to our hotel. Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend using CIRE Travel for your dream honeymoon or vacation!
