I had such a weird interaction with Annette Medina! I reached out with several destinations,…read moreflexible dates, and what I thought was a somewhat generous budget ($1500/person) and got a response simply saying "we will not be able to assist you". I wish they had told me why! Are the destinations more expensive than my budget? Are the dates unavailable? I referenced "my partner" - do they not work with same-sex couples? I also said I was open to other destinations - did they not care to look into other destinations for the dates I provided? I would have been happy to increase our budget or look into other destinations - but I guess they didn't care about offering me other options. It just seems so weird that they wouldn't want to work with me. For a company with such good reviews I'm disappointed that they don't want my business. I hope others have a better experience!

Rima was always, and I mean always there to help us, she was super quick to respond and was able to find us options and solutions. She provides such a valuble service with true professionalism and compassion and knowing she is our person to turn to gives us such peace of mind, especially in these uncertain times of air travel. We will probably never book any flight or trip without her!! Thanks you Rima!!

I found Bler Travel on a Google search, after trying AAA and not getting my emails returned. I…read moreemailed Bler out of the blue asking for flights to Italy. I knew exactly what I wanted for flights, times, airports, airplanes, etc. I'm only giving them 2 stars because they responded to me immediately. They just returned my email with flights, no introduction, no "hi, my name is", nothing. They just kept emailing one flight after another with zero attempt at any pleasantries or interaction. Each flight was crazy expensive or not what I asked for. I asked twice that they call me and provided my number, yet they continued to just email flights. Then, they just stopped all together. Lazy, cold, unprofessional, and ignorant. I found them on Google, that's how businesses are found by new potential customers. Let them cater to their regulars, obviously they don't care to earn new customers.

Thank you for always making my life easier. They are very quick to help, and do not give up until our executives are happy. I would like to also mention Sandy Fell.

I know it's not easy to coordinate with international hotels, and Sandy was very responsive and thorough. I will continue to use Malmberg travel and I would highly suggest it for any travel needs whether big or small. Thank you Sandy, Beth & Mark!

CIRE Travel deserves MORE than a five-star rating!! We were recommended by a friend to use CIRE…read moreTravel on a celebration visit to Hawaii, a state we had never visited. Although we did our usual travel research, working with Melissa at CIRE made it one of our most enjoyed and memorable vacations. She attended to every last detail and began planning and guiding us months before our departure. Melissa's intake call lasted almost an hour - making sure she knew all our previous travel destinations, and documented our likes and dislikes to ensure she guided us appropriately. After the initial call, she began emailing suggestions, options and recommendations. Whatever questions we had, Melissa responded almost immediately. She gave us excellent hotel/resort recommendations at various price-points, arranged somewhat complicated flights as we planned on visiting more than one island, and scheduled highly-rated tours at each island. She also handled a somewhat unusual request in finding and booking the best companies on the islands to provide my husband with mobility scooters. When realizing we had somewhat overbooked our tours due to health issues, she immediately pivoted and took care of the cancellation - no effort on our part whatsoever. Once in the final stages, Melissa scheduled a call to review all the arrangements, as well as contact information should we need "off-hour" assistance and provided an app that included every detail of our travel. In addition, she sent us comprehensive lists of all recommended restaurants, broken down both by area and dining levels and flavors. Next trip - CIRE Travel will arrange!!!

Oh my! How does CIRE not have any reviews on here?…read more This should not be a thing of caution, everyone. The team of CIRE has multiple locations and has been around for years. This is a team of experienced travel professionals, a close knit team that works across New York City, DC and Boston +. The Boston team actually is from the area and knows Boston and the area extremely well. I have worked with CIRE for well over 5 years in the corporate setting and occasionally sneak in a private setting as well. On all fronts, I know my corporate team is well taken care of. Eric and his team go above and beyond to ensure smooth travels. They are security blanket when I need it and the relationship CIRE has with a lot of hotels and airlines has saved us a pretty penny many times. And I have it on good authority that their honeymoon division is #todiefor! I couldn't recommend this team more whole heartedly!

THIS is THE place to go for traveling to JAPAN…read more I booked a trip to Japan in the middle of my summer back at home in the SF Bay Area. Luckily, i found a round trip ticket for just under three weeks to Tokyo from SF for under a grand. Still, I wanted to backpack through Japan, visit at least 4-5 cities, and fit everything into a modest budget. After some research online (and Japanese tourism has awesome research available), I stumbled upon IACE travel. The staff is SO nice. Honestly, I had no idea what I was doing, and the girl that helped me out Ritsuko, sat with me for about 40 mins going through various sample trips and agendas, despite the fact that I had not bought a single thing! She walked me through where to eat, where to stay, how long to be there....just awesome. I walked in needing a JR Rail Pass, and when I got down to it, she was so efficient and helpful in getting me one. And I walked out with it. Even after, I emailed her my ideas and she helped me plan my trip around them. After the trip, my 17 days visiting Tokyo, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Sendai, Yokohama, Nara, and Mt. Fuji were amazing. And even though I could have gotten the JR pass somewhere else, I don't think I could have gotten better advice and trip planning help than here.

iace rules! Dec. 29th tickets purchased…read more My friend from Japan (an amazing plane ticket scammer, she came to Boston 2 January's ago for $600 even, round trip!) recommended the link to iace. I looked all year at the rise and non-fall of ticket prices to Tokyo. Her Tokyo wedding is in Jan. So, when Nov., Dec, rolled around, I felt like a bad planner. Who knew (well, perhaps baby Jesus knew?) that on Dec. 25th bored at my families gathering- I would click the link to find "round trip airfare to Tokyo Jan 3rd to Feb (something or other) $500*plus fuel!" This was cheaper than the $860-$1200 tickets I stalked all year round. The total came to $740 for a Jan. 17Th-Jan 27Th (Thurs- Sun) visit. I must declare that In my last minutes of planning there could be no deal finer. * will be updated after flight experience, potential problem's, etc...... **4 stars and not 5, why? because 5 stars would be a free ticket.

Horrible experience with Audley travel. Paid $4500 for 5 days in Thailand - just for hotel, tour…read moreguide/driver and 2 meals. Travel agent aka Salesperson promised me everything would be exactly as I requested. Then handed it off to another person and then somebody else in Thailand. Tours didn't happen, lots went wrong.

Cutting to the chase, I would never use them again. Everything was fine with Ecuador and the Galapagos. However, the trip to Bolivia was a certified nightmare. The travel agent had us getting into the hotel after midnight and leaving for the excursion early the next morning. We only had two or three hours to sleep and we are all completely sleep deprived. It was insanity. The tour guide was more interested in stopping to eat then showing us the sites that we had traveled to see. At lunch, he casually said that the sites might be closed now. Then, at Easter Island they assign you a national Park guide who is obviously in a rush to show you the sites as quickly as possible, and take the rest of the day off. We let AUDLEY know and they did absolutely nothing. So yes, the sites were fine, but we constantly had to battle a poorly planned itinerary and lazy guides where we received no support from the travel agent. We are traveling again to Egypt in May and I will avoid AUDLEY at all costs. They are unstable, unresponsive, and sloppy.
