I am currently working with Bernadette, one of the knowledgeable travel agents in the Chico location, to plan an Italy trip for me and my boyfriend. Bernadette worked out a GREAT itinerary for us! All I had to due was tell her where we wanted to go and when our dates were and...presto! We had a trip basically booked. Of course, she would run everything buy me first before booking anything, but Bernadette found us a decently priced flight, great places to stay and awesome things to do! S She even let us use as many credit cards as we needed to divide up the costs! But the best part?!? Her service fee was less than $100!! I'm telling you, if you want some help planning a trip, check this place out. Bernadette made this trip easy, fun to plan, and so much more enjoyable! I haven't had to worry about a thing and I can't wait to experience all the fun we've planned for ourselves!

I would recommend them to anyone looking to take some of the work out of planning a trip.

A close friend of ours wanted to go to Thailand and Vietnam for her 70th birthday this month. She…read morehired Teresa to plan it for us. Normally, I'm the one with my group of friends who always plans big trips. I've done lots of them, and I think I do a really good job at it. Let me say, that the trip Teresa planned for our group was the best trip I've ever been on in my entire life! We were in Thailand for 10 days, and Vietnam for 10days. From the moment we arrived in Thailand until we left Vietnam it was about as perfect as it could have been. We stayed in the most beautiful hotels and did the most unforgettable tours and adventures. The tour companies she picked to lead us through these countries were top notch. Their guides and vans couldn't have been better. Every airport we arrived in, they were there to greet us and take us through all the craziness right onto the vans that were always there waiting for us. We felt like Rockstars the entire time. In Vietnam (where you have to have a visa) 2 of our party of 8 had trouble with their visa. I can truly say if we had booked this trip ourselves we wouldn't have gotten them into or out of the country. We called Teresa (middle of the night in U.S.) and she called somebody there in Hanoi who came to the Hanoi airport and got them in to the country. Then when we left, the same guy showed up to make sure we were able to get them out of the country. Some of the many highlights were: Two day guided tour of Bangkok- Golden Palace, canal ride through city, ride on Tuk-tuks, flower market, ride through floating market. In Chaing Mai we went to an Elephant Sanctuary and also went to a Cookng school. Then in Phuket we explored beautiful beaches and one day went over to John Gray's Sea Canoes for another adventure of a life time. In Vietnam we did a walking/scooter tour of Hanoi. It was one of the most thrilling scary things I've ever done, but loved all of it! In Sapa we walked through tribal villages and met the local people. Ending the tour we were on our own private ship in Halong bay, where we explored caves, saw a floating village and pearl farm, and rode kayaks around the beautiful rocks. Then to top it off we went on a seaplane around the bay. AMAZING I must say (besides the problem with the visas) we had absolutely no stress on this trip. Every place we went, people were there waiting for us. They always had water and snacks for us in the vans too. Every hotel we checked into, they were waiting for us keys in hand. We wanted to change a time, or a plan a little, no problem. Needed a good place for a massage, no problem and the guide stayed with us until we were done! Because I am the person who plans trips I really appreciate Teresa's attention to so many details of this trip. It's like she thought of absolutely everything. She knew how many days we needed in each place, when was a good time for a rest day, a travel day etc. I can't say enough about how well she planned this trip for us. Thanks Teresa for providing us with such amazing memories from this trip of a lifetim

This old facility appeared to still be original, and not modernized - I was unable step off for a few minutes to tell if it was actually open, as it was a drop and pick up location only. There were uniformed security personnel present and visible and the place had several dozen folks waiting to board the train, as well as exit for their final destination, it was very well lit. It was obvious to me that this little station is busy and used daily even at the early morning hour. The Coast Starlight (#11 south & #14 north) runs from Seattle to Los Angeles daily. 00080

First of all, my train left from Chico, CA, where there was absolutely NO information about long-term parking. 2nd, I had NO idea that I would be waiting on a "platform" with NO people around except vagrants! Very scary!! Especially at 1:47 am! On the train, I was placed directly in front of an air-conditioning vent, which FROZE me overnight, and didn't help my arthritis! The bathroom was FILTHY, and the patrons on the train were seedy and all placed very close to one another! I don't understand it. You expect ME to wear a mask, and yet you stand by a toilet that looks/smells like that one did?! Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Just a generally poor experience, honestly! If I hadn't left my car in Chico, I'd eat the return trip and fly home, but since money IS a big deal to me, I can't do that! NEVER again! This has been a glorified Greyhound bus ride, if you ask me!
