I used Sarah Qey Travel for both our trips to Italy and Costa Rica. For Italy it went well due to…read moreus not using her to schedule our tours. This last week we were in Costa Rica we did use her to help us find good deals on our tours, and it was a nightmare. The day before our trip she called me stating everything was confirmed and assured us we would have an amazing experience. The first day we are there we wake up early to get to our hotel lobby to wait for pickup. After waiting over 30 minutes I ask the concierge if they could help us locate the tour agency. When we got ahold of them he stated to us that for the past month he tried to get ahold of Sarah Qey Travel to confirm our tour and where we would be picked up, there was never an answer. Due to this we missed our tour. They were able to work with us and accommodate to let us do one thing with them because they couldn't refund us due to their policy. Thankfully they were the same ones to do our next tour to Manuel Antonio, and I was able to confirm where we needed to be picked up. While I was dealing with the tour agency I was also trying to reach Sarah because she claimed she would be accessible to me via email or call if I needed her. She was not. She didn't confirm any of our tours, didn't give them any of my information on how to contact me, and she took no accountability for her mistakes. When I was able to reach her she said she did everything right, and basically all 3 companies she hired for us were lying. She even had the nerve to get offended when I asked for refunds because we missed 2 of our tours because of her actions. We had to pay an additional $110 because we didn't want to lose the money on the tours. She owed me $110 due to a tour never being confirmed. 8 days had passed and still no refund in my account. When I confront her about this she immediately sends it via PayPal without even asking me if I had one! I couldn't access my money because of this! So when I email her about this her assistant Deborah steps in saying she didn't know I didn't have a PayPal. It's called asking! Thankfully she helped me with this, but not before she basically shamed me because I didn't confirm any of my tours myself. I paid these people to help me feel safe in a foreign country, and they took my money and didn't make us a priority after they were paid. No one ever apologized or took responsibility for their mistakes. I now know due to the great people of Costa Rica not to trust tour agencies like Sarah Qey and just do it myself. All they did was go through Expedia and get their cut.

Amaree at Almeda travel was our agent for my first all-inclusive trip to Secrets Royal Beach in…read morePunta Cana, Dominican Republic. My wife and I began planning with Amaree in September 2013. She provided us with numerous options until we agreed on our destination. The best part of booking through Almeda is that much of the guess work is eliminated from the equation. Amaree is an excellent communicator and after your first encounter, you will understand her passion for travel. We are definitely booking our future vacations through Almeda with her.

From assisting with booking our flights and our shuttle to and from the airport, we were more than pleased with our travel arrangements. The shuttle driver was super nice and friendly when we arrived at the airport. We had an air-conditioned, smooth ride over to the hotel. Boy were we excited when we arrived at the hotel--The Alexandra. Beautiful, friendly staff, and excellent food. The room had a wonderful arrangement of Hershey kisses in the shape of a heart. What a pleasant surprise. The food at The Alexandra was great along with the welcoming rum punch at the front desk when we arrived. From booking our trip, the awesome itinerary that was mailed to us, the friendly shuttle service to and from the airport, the great hotel recommendation, and even better food recommendations, we couldn't have been more pleased. Book your travel with World Travels and you will not be disappointed. The friendly and fast service is second to none. Please do not hesitate to email or send a message if you have any questions at all. Again, you will be happy you did.

TL; DR: Tina Shands is amazing and saved our destination wedding…read more My husband and I wanted to do a destination wedding in Mexico and a friend suggested we get a travel agent to help with transportation, etc. Honestly, I hadn't thought about it until then, and we were having a long engagement so I thought that having a travel agent wasn't NEEDED. BOY WAS I WRONG. Between having to change hotels because of a 4-day Phish concert that was overlapping our wedding day, to figuring out transportation, to negotiating room prices, Tina was absolutely essential to our wedding. She was always upfront about any issues or pricing that arose, kept us in the loop the entire time, and kept us calm through it all. We will totally be using her again if we have the chance. If you either don't have the time to do all the planning for a trip (I mean, who does?), or have a big party all coming together (we had people fly in from TX, WA, NM, and NC), use Tina!

She listened carefully to all of our desires, respected our budget and crafted the most amazing honeymoon getaway that my husband and I could ever have dreamed of. She managed to ease my stress so I could focus on my wedding planning.

Coming from people who don't usually believe in using travel agents for many reasons, My husband and I would both highly recommend Christie and the professionals at Privy & May, where they create dreams, plan for you and manage to some how make you feel like family.

We are on the…read moretrip now and the first hotel booked for us was great- however the logistics of the travel that was booked for us is basically nonexistent. We were not informed of the distances between airports and train terminals and have to sit for hours to figure out how to get from one place to another, with no help, without missing one of the things booked for us. We tried emailing our agent to ask for help and she is out of office with no warning. We had to do a lot of things ourselves when booking for this trip to the point that we may as well have just done everything ourselves without using an agent. It wasn't a horrible experience but I honestly would not recommend.
