She is patient (we can get crazy with the options we ask for) she is attentive (her service doesn't end when the sale has been made. If she finds your same tickets for less she will rebook the tickets and pass the savings on to you out of the blue. I know people think that travel agencies aren't needed anymore because of the internet but I can't come close to the pricing Amy is able to find using a website on my own. Royal Adventure's pricing for roundtrip tickets to France were half of what my credit card's travel agency wanted to charge.

Our party of 5 needed to get our China Visa. Learning that Hawaii has no Chinese consulate (Los…read moreAngeles being the closest), I searched for an agent. I read Yelp reviews and heard about this business and how well Simon was in helping with going through the process. He sent me an email stating what was needed. We gathered all the info and went down to Skyway Express (located by Singsing Restaurant). Simon filled all our Visa forms, collected our passports and called us if the consulate needed additional information. It took a little over a month to get back our passports with our China Visa. Definitely recommend this business. Total cost was $350 each person ($140 for the visa and the rest for their services) - money well spent instead of us having to fly to California and stay or fly back there when the passports were ready.

Traveling to China from Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. My friend, Edwina, told me about the Narcissus Queen Tour. This year (2024), the tour was going to the Queen's hometown of Yunan. They were also going to visit Dali, LiJiang, XiZhou, and ZhongShan. I haven't been to these cities, so I wanted to go! Luckily, my friend, Irene, agreed to be my roommate! We went to their office in Chinatown Honolulu to meet with the travel agents at Skyway Express. They processed our paperwork for Visas, gave us itineraries, and even hosted a welcome/orientation luncheon for everyone to meet! The process was quite smooth, even with the refund for our flight since we added on a few days extra in Hong Kong before and after China. We paid for our flights on Expedia which turned out to save us some money! Skyway Express booked the five hotels, land tours, bullet train ride between KunMing and Dali, and flight between LiJiang and GuangZhou! The package included all admission fees to various museums and theaters, air-conditioned buses, most meals, tips for the drivers and tour guides, and unlimited bottled water! We're looking forward to the next Narcissus Queen's Tour!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Sharon at Queen's Travel, to secure us our VISAs for an…read moreupcoming trip to China. From my first phone call to gather information, Sharon was extremely helpful. She told me exactly what we would need, the approximate timeframe, cost, location of her office, and hours. She even told me that she would be able to provide the 2x2 photos required with the application, free of charge, which we could take right at her office (saving us a separate trip to get those done elsewhere). Once we arrived at her office, she helped us fill out the paperwork quickly, and we were all done. We paid her (a very fair price, which included the cost of the VISA itself, shipping, etc), and her price was better than other companies I had inquired with for quotes. She sent our packets out immediately, and within three weeks we had our passports back in our hands, with our 10 year VISAs for China! We were expecting it to take 6-8 weeks, as that was what we had been quoted by other places, but this was incredibly fast! Sharon was incredibly efficient, kind, and professional, and I am so glad we chose to go through Queen's Travel. Highly recommend!!!

She was so thoughtful and determined to provide us with a fantastic experience that I am working with her to plan my HONEYMOON in Greece. And already she's been on every detail - booking things in advance and giving us recommendations on how to get the best deals for the pieces we need to book (=flight) as well as ensuring our passports will be usable given the name change! She's just so on top of everything, thinking through the specifics, that it's hard to have any concerns or worries. The stuff that vacations and travel are made for!

I had the good fortune of chosing to participate in one of her tours, i.e., the Thailand/Bali 2013. It was clear she was mindful and thoughtful of giving her group the ultimate experiences within the confines of a great price. She had clearly done her homework and then some. Moreover, the people I had the opportunity to meet, that were part of the group - were some of the finest....not to mention her assistant Liz who is a little go-getter. It was a fascinating adventure - much enjoyed and highly recommended.

After flying cheap on Air Asia to Japan in July, I vowed never ever never never ever to fly that…read morecheap again. Air Asia was cheap for a reason, it ran and operated like a cheap scam, and now that I have an opportunity to go back to Japan next year, I needed plane fare. The thought of Air Asia makes me cringe and shudder in disgust at the thought. Anyhoo... My travel companion insists on flying only on JAL so my choices were limited. I did some research on Cheap Tickets, Travelocity and Expedia, but Kintetsu got us the best price. For example: Cheap Tickets $830 round trip, Travelocity $796 but on different airlines (Scoot - hell no, Delta - ugh), and exact same price on Expedia $796 for JAL. Kintetsu got us multi-city tickets for $770 on JAL exclusively, and at the time we wanted to fly! YAY Kintetsu! WTG! Call ahead to reserve your plane ticket and make sure you take your passport with you. They have some nice maps and travel guides to Japan for free. I scooped some up. I know, I know, who needs a map when you have the internet? But sometimes a good, old-fashioned map comes in super handy when you are walking around Japan and Google Maps decides to point you in the wrong direction with that SUPER ANNOYING compass!!! I hate Google Maps. When we left to get into the elevator, our ticket agent walked us to the elevator and bowed to us. I felt like I was in Japan all over again! Parking is validated 1.5 hours in the Waikiki Business Plaza.

Rie helped me get my ticket to Japan and made it super easy…read more I NEVER EVER EVER buy my airlines ticket from a person.. I always just go online, but two of my friends booked with Rie, so I emailed to her to ask for help. She got back to me super fast with super affordable options and offered to work with me to get my the flight I really wanted (that was $400 more) but we both agreed I should just get this cheaper one. And I am stoked. Within half an hour, I had a ticket purchased and an I itinerary in my inbox. She made it so easy and was very friendly. I wish she could help me book my other non-Japan bound flights. Thank you Rie!!

Need a VISA to enter China?…read more Just get it here - it's so quick and easy! Karen, Ken, and I were walking through Chinatown Cultural Plaza (in Honolulu) on our way to lunch when we saw this travel agency right across from the parking lot elevator. Out of curiosity, I went in and asked if they could process my application for a VISA. The knowledgeable man said that they would be able to assist and gave me information on what documents were needed. One week later (on St. Patrick's Day), after I got my passport photo, copy of my Drivers license and valid passport, I returned and presented these documents. I was in and out of the office within 5 minutes! I didn't even have to pay for parking in the Chinatown Cultural Plaza! Less than 2 weeks later, I got a phone call that informed me that my Visa had arrived. I got cash at the bank ($185) and picked up my Visa in less than 15 minutes so I didn't have to pay for parking again! I received clear instructions on the use and terms of the Visa and prompt, courteous service. I am very ready for my next adventure!

Ms Alice Wang, the BEST travel agent of all I have ever met. Due to the Covid-19 and the computers…read morebecome available for online booking, it almost make the travel agent absolute. There are two types of people: first type are ones that they preferred to do everything themself and the second group of people are ones preferring the booking by the good old style of travel agent style. The first style are who would just login into computer and look for the cheapest seats available on line, book the best available seats next to each other if possible and ASAP try very hard to reduce the connecting flight time, avoiding stay at airport until the next day. Type one people would have so much pressure put so much pressure on yourself since there are so many people are seeking the same destination and seats are together. It becomes much more difficult when booked with 2 international airlines together, the walking distance of an unknown gate to the connecting flight, try to make the long stop over short and avoid overnight stay in a hotel because you will pay for it. Alice has booked us in a section that seats were not together, reduce to the waiting time to minimum, no hotel needed and got us almost $1,000.00 cheaper. She checks the seating configuration daily, change our seating arrangement to a cheapest seats.....in a total of 3 weeks. This is how wonderful Alice Wang is by arrange out seats, no overnight stay between with cheapest tickets. I have already told her that she can work on our tickets yearly. SHE IS AWESOME PERIOD and spent 3 weeks to get all my request done while other travel agents would just tell me that this is the best I can do. It's so sad that almost all the travel agents are closed for good. Booking your own tickets is not as easy as you think. When there is no connecting flight or overnight stay and travel within the USA booking by yourself maybe OK, but international route maybe much easier on yourself. One thing most of us can't do is to put the seat(s) on hold to exchange for better and cheaper ones next day. Booking on line is more difficult on international route with more than Honolulu to Las Vegas. THANK YOU for all of your hard work to make our flight much easier. I am more than happy.

The train trips themselves are unbelievable with very knowledgeable and gracious crew, great natural sights along the way, and fantastic food in the main car, and snacks, and drinks in the club car. Wine pairing was also offered for the lunch meals. Earl got us an all day tour of Canyonlands and Arches National Parks through NAVTEC Expeditions in Moab and this company was excellent with pickup and drop-off at the hotel, lunch provided, and a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide who was really an excellent driver when there was barely a road to go over in some places. she was also able to circumvent the long entry line at Arches by getting into the park by a back route so that we could also see dinosaurs tracks, but not miss any of the salient sights at either park. Our train excursion was a once in a lifetime experience (a bucket list item for anyone) that went so smoothly thanks to Earl.
