We have done 4 large group trips of 14-22 people on a Alaskan cruise, Danube & Rhine river cruises n Tuscany Villa with guides through the historic towns of Tuscany, Rome & Florence. They pay attention to detail, guide you with options & choices ( they are professional n have actual experience n know the best options based on you). They have provided great guidance and superb trips. I can't imagine using anyone else. Smart, considerate and ethical! The very Best and I''ve used them for 8 yrs now. Looking forward to many more trips. Thank you so very much. Love having you guide me

We used Debra Westbrook to plan a vacation to New York and were completely satisfied. Debra was…read morepersonable and paid attention to details. She provided us with everything we wanted and made our trip memorable. Everything from the planning, to travel, to the stay, to excursions and departure was great!

I will definitely use Debra again for our travel needs!

If you want to get scammed by Vi the owner, this is the place to come to for your travel needs. We…read morewanted to travel to Singapore, Malaysia, Bali, and Taiwan. He initially booked the whole trip with air fair and the touring itinerary that seemed to be fair pricings so we agreed to it....once we agreed to it he said, the price is now increased to $700 more and it was only one day later. Wasn't too happy but we proceeded anyways. Then the very next day we get another email from Vi, he tells us there is another increase in price roughly $400 for the both of us. His excuse was that we booked too soon he needed much more time in advance. By this time we are looking at our trip to be roughly $10,000 for flying coach too, not even business class. Extremely livid at this point! Well, on the touring company "Charming Holidays" website and the brochure he handed me and my wife it clearly is written they leave every Mon, Thurs, Sat. Furthermore, this is not what he initially informed us. If this is the case then why did you quoted us the prices and worked out the whole flying schedule and touring package, and the price with us? Be warned: Vi, his business style is to pressure you into giving him your passports so he can save your spot immediately and then he will charge you a lot more once he knows you are interested. As for doing the Visa you can do it yourself online. Don't let him scare you by saying it is very hard to do it yourself and there are frauds online. Make sure you go to the government website and save yourself $200 per person in comparison to what he charges you (which is outrageous). He has no people skills what so ever...always trying to rush you on the phone and hang up when the conversation has not ended. He will try to convince you to travel to somewhere else instead of the country you wanted to go to. This place deserve a "zero" star not even 1 star review.

I was simply amazed and left only to believe in magic (and yes, she's handled similar asks for business traveler friends of mine, too!). But what really stood out wasn't just the unbelievable result, it was the way the team at Express Travel Services handled everything along the way. Karina brought such professionalism, organization, and genuine care to what was honestly a very stressful situation for me. She and her network worked tirelessly to make what felt almost impossible seem seamless. Every detail was handled thoughtfully, and I always felt like I was in good hands with constant, personalized updates along the way. If they could deliver on a request this difficult, I have no doubt they can handle just about any travel or visa need you may have. Truly above and beyond service. Six out of five stars. Thank you again, Karina!

The itinerary Micehlle created for us for us was extremely detailed, including the best hotels throughout England and Scotland with private limos, drivers and guides.

She also partnered with a UK travel agency who checked in with us every day to see how our trip was going and reminded us of the next day events. It made us feel that Just Escape Travel really had our backs and was with us every day. Very professional and accomplished to make a trip exactly to our specifications. We really appreciated Michelle's very professional efforts to make our trip with our granddaughter very memorable. Thanks for everything Michelle! Frank A.

Every time they were involved, and that included hundreds of transactions annually, they were amazing. As COO and CEO, I used Balboa Travel's VIP Team for all business and personal travel arrangements. My personal travel agent within the VIP Team has been and remains Melanie. She is absolutely amazing, any time of the day or night, on weekends, when I am on travel, or preparing to travel, she bends over backwards to be of assistance. She maintains my profile and all travel documents which streamlines travel arrangements.

Jonathan responded to my email inquiry immediately, and I was speaking with him by phone within two hours. We were pleased that he had extensive experience booking clients on Brand g tours, and was very familiar with hotels and tours in Paris. Within a day he had us booked on the Brand g tour and found flights that included a discount on our hotel stay in Paris after the tour. He also help select and book day tours in and around Paris. On the morning we were to fly out of Palm Springs and connect to Paris, we found that our first flight was six hours late! The result was that we would miss our connecting flight to Paris. I contacted Jonathan early in the morning and he coordinated with the airline to rebook on flights that still got us to Paris the same day and only six hours later than we originally planned. His help saved our trip and we still made our boat cruise departure on time. Throughout the planning and during our trip, Jonathan was always available by text or email. He consistently sent us reminders and updates about our tours and flights. With his help our trip was a great success, and it eliminated a lot of stress and work on our part. We definitely intend to us him again to plan future trips.
