My first impression - Michele is extremely friendly, diligent, and knowledgeable in her work. Though I live in New York, the entire process was so easy! She was always available when contacting for any questions. I was indecisive between choosing, Bahamas or Punta Cana, to book a trip. Michele gave feedback from her previous experiences because she had visited both places, which was very helpful in choosing a location. Also, she provided the pros and cons for both places. She did not push me to book immediately, and told me to take my time to think about which location I would choose, which I really appreciated. The next day, I contacted Michele and finally made my decision! She was completely organized when sending over the authorization form, and sent me all the information regarding my trip via email; the process was straightforward and easy. It was the best decision ever to choose Michele. Making all the plans for an overseas trip can be nerve-racking and challenging, but due to Michele's knowledgeable skills, planning my trip was the total opposite. I would definitely recommend her to anyone choosing to book their trip!

She adds the personal touch and has a great knowledge of many destinations. We recently used this service to book our first disney Cruise. We had a little issue with Disney and Michele was right on top of it. In less than 24 hours disney was on the phone with me due to Michele. We are forever grateful fo her and what she has done for us. We have only use this company to book our trips from Puerto Rico to Bermuda and my family highly recommends Michele at Relax and Go Travel. I wish we could give more stars.

Explorient and specifically Kervin Yu was recommended to us, (my husband and daughter), by a…read moreprofessor friend who lived in Japan while his parents were in the diplomatic corps as he was finishing high school. Our daughter was attending a weeklong conference in Tokyo with Google/YouTube and had asked us if we were interested in joining her, as she planned to do some more touring after her conference was over, over the Thanksgiving holidays in 2019. We jumped at the chance. We had ideas about some of the cities and activities we were interested in, however, we also had to take into account the use a rollator, as I was planning on a hip replacement early in 2020, and it was crucial that I rely on it. I had already booked the three of us in a brand new boutique hotel close to our daughter's Tokyo conference for the first week when she would be working and my husband and I would be visiting sites. Kervin seamlessly, incorporated the Tokyo week into our touring and included tours with our daughter whenever her schedule allowed. He paired us with private guides throughout the trip, who were knowledgeable and most enjoyable. From Tokyo, we visited Takayama, Shirakawa-go, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima and back to Tokyo for our return home. Explorient worked with us when we preferred a different hotel in Kyoto, and all the activities and guides they provided based on our preferences were top notch. Ranging from rickshaw tours, boat tours, tea ceremonies, cooking lessons. foodie tours, sake tasting, shrines, temples, and museums visits, (just to name a few), as well as all our train travel including Shinkansen trips and luggage transfers were on time and without glitches. We look back on this holiday and on Explorient's expert guidance as one on our most if not the most enjoyable of all our vacations. We will not hesitate to call on Kervin Yu again in the future to provide us a most delightful experience; we highly recommend Explorient and Kervin. Vivian F. Berkeley, CA

My experience using Nawas International Travel has been nothing short of WONDERFUL. I have…read moretraveled on three different Catholic pilgrimages with them and each trip was more memorable than the last. The accommodations were better than expected, the tour guides were outstanding, knowledgeable and entertaining and the bus drivers were polite, attentive and incredibly skilled! No complaints here. My first experience in 2018 was to Italy (a trip of a lifetime) and our tour guide, Gloria, was terrific! Every part of that trip was meticulously planned and we toured some of the most amazing sites in Italy. We were also given ample opportunities to explore on our own. My second trip in 2022 was to Germany, Austria and Switzerland (including the Oberammergau Passion Play) which was delayed for two years due to the worldwide Covid pandemic. That was such a crazy time but it wasn't a problem for us to be patient. I'm so happy we had that trip to look forward to. Again, we had the most wonderful tour guide, Deborah. She was a delight! That trip so beautiful and memorable. Each scenic location took our breath away. I recently returned from another pilgrimage to Poland & the Czech Republic (2025). Once again... nothing but praise for Nawas! Our hotels were excellent, the food was amazing and our tour guide, Bogdan, was a hoot! Our tours were outstanding and, again, we were given plenty of time explore independently. Pure enjoyment! Nawas has always been responsive to emails and well organized. I have been on two other pilgrimages with another well-known Catholic travel company and was incredibly disappointed each time... mostly due to very negative experiences with the tour guides who showed no interest in the welfare of the pilgrims but instead herded us like cattle and YELLED at us if anyone was talking. Very unprofessional. It was clear neither guide enjoyed their jobs. Additionally, we were often taken past important sites on the tours rather than entering them and getting a full tour as we did with Nawas. Needless to say, I will NOT be traveling with that other tour company again (sorry, Peter). (IYKYK). I won't hesitate to participate in future pilgrimages with Nawas! Challenges may arise occasionally, but the key is to be patient and realize that you are paying to experience another culture. Don't expect things to be like home. Give thanks and enjoy your travels!

Nawas International Travel Agency - Let the buyer beware!!!…read moreOur Pilgrimage trip to France was canceled this year because, on the departure date, the pilots of our airline went on strike. The flight was canceled. Our church volunteer tour director was told by Nawas we needed to go to Newark Airport in case they could book us on another flight. The 30+ of us went on a large bus to the airport where we spent the next chaotic 4 hours going to a few different airlines (as told) while the tour director spent most of the time on the phone with Nawas for some definitive guidance. Nawas only communicated with her. There were no flights and we took the bus back to the church parking lot and went home. Nawas called us the next day at noon and said they had a confirmed flight with no information about time, point of departure, or airline. We said no and they hung up. I received a letter from the Vice President of Nawas a while later and it expressed regrets over the situation. However, his letter opened with Dear Traveler. I have a name and it is not Traveler. It spoke volumes about their lack of sincerity or personal concern. It seems their personal caring really stopped at cashing my check to pay for this trip. We did get refunds for the flights, but any other compensation was their offer of $500 toward our next trip with them. Really??? This trip turned into an emergency situation and Nawas chose not to send any information to each of us, only communicating with the, by now, harried tour director. I would not recommend using Nawas for any tour. Their brochures are pretty, colorful, and enticing but their actions in an emergency left us, literally, holding the bag(s) and, ultimately, no refunds for services paid for but not delivered.
