I'd been trying to plan my first cruise for a while, comparing prices, feeling a bit lost. I…read morefinally found a cruise that sounded good, though it wasn't my first choice, and was about to book it through Costco, when I figured I'd check with an agent just in case I could get a better deal. I'd heard that travel agents could be helpful with cruises, especially for first-timers, but I was skeptical, since I generally plan all of our trips very cheaply myself. I contacted Mike, and he got back to me within minutes and was able to quote me a price on the same exact cruise for $1200 less (for our family of five.) I was very pleasantly surprised. So I then asked him to check on another cruise that we'd given up on - one that was during my mom's spring break, and probably everybody else's. This cruise was just out of our price range, and so we were going to have to give up on the idea of taking my mom along. Then Mike came back with a price that was well below what we'd found elsewhere, and even well below what we were going to pay Costco for our second choice. To my delight (and my husband's,) we are now planning a spring cruise with the grandma/babysitter! He even found adjoining balcony rooms for us - an ideal setup, as this will give us one big suite and two bathrooms to share, with the added bonus of being able to shut the door if somebody snores too loudly (I won't say who.) Mike has been extremely responsive to every question, however silly, I've had about this trip. He gets back to me very quickly and answers all my questions in a very clear, organized manner. I feel so much better about going on my first cruise with all my questions answered by somebody who knows what he's talking about and never seems just to be trying to sell me something. Thanks, Mike!

I wish I could give Mike 10 stars. I called about two weeks ago because another couple and we,…read moredecided on the spur of the moment, that since there were no available cruises in Portugal, we'd just rent a hotel room in Lisbon and take local tours. We didn't know exactly when except September or October. Mike's response was, "THIS year?" He walked us through deciding on a date, and started work. I know this is a busy time for him; but within a few days, he had gotten us hotel reservations and air fare from both San Antonio and Sacramento. We requested either private or very small tours, although I wasn't sure such options exited. As with everything else, within a couple of days, he had a variety of tours that fit our criteria. He was wonderful about trying to divide the prices of the tours so that each couple paid about half. So... it's now early July and we are set for the end of September! THANK YOU, Mike. I know this trip is going to be fantastic and we owe it all to you!

I first reached out to Skip to plan our honeymoon in 2018. I had never used a travel adviser before…read morebut I was worn out with planning a wedding so I left it in the hands of Skip- & it would't have it any other way. He is easy and accommodating to work with regarding travel. My Honeymoon had adventure and luxury as we had explained we wanted. We did Amsterdam, Rome, and Santorini. All locations had travel, car services (seriously amazing) and activities planned for us. The great thing is that when you see something you want changed- he does it in a heartbeat and keeps constant communication with you when/if there are any changes. We came back with lots of great experiences, & all within budget. Fast Forward to this year, we were in the midst of planning a second vacation across the pond and I didn't even think twice about it- I knew who I would call- Skip, Yet another great vacation- this time we simply wanted luxury and relaxation and that is what we got in the Almafi Coast + Mykonos. He planned it just right- as expected :)

Having a travel agent isn't just a luxury. It's the smartest thing you can do for yourself and your trip. My personal experience: Skip helped us put together a FABULOUS dream vacation to Italy for our 10 year anniversary. From the first phone call to start planning to the day we got home everything went smoothly. He was always quick to respond, personal and worked with the budget we gave him. I'm a wedding and event planner so I'm a very detailed person and used to planning our small family trips but there are so many things to consider for your first international flight. Getting our passports, knowing which airports to fly in and out of, how long of a layover is enough time, how to travel between cities, setting up tours in a city where you don't speak the language, what to do when you're there. Skip sat down with us before we left to go over our itinerary and each activity along the way. Could I have planned this trip by myself? Maybe. But knowing the ins and outs of traveling is what he is an expert in and he can save you time and so much stress along the way. For example: Passports: We were going to just go to the post office to get our passport. When I told Skip our plan he stopped me and suggested a few passport services. As he pointed out, the post office is a government agency. Enough said. They can move slow. They can lose mail. Maybe it's not common but do you really want to take the chance of a single delay and you missing your trip? We took our applications to one of the recommended offices and they immediately caught an error on our form. Had we taken it to the post office, they would have never noticed the error and our application would have been returned and delayed getting our passport. Traveling: When I questioned the long layover there and back Skip advised me that I would need the time to get through customs. Boy was he right! We were never rushed but had it been up to me and I had moved the flights to what I thought were best, we would have missed our flights. Experienced travel agents know what to expect, are familiar with different airports and airlines. Have you ever booked a flight or hotel with an online discount company only to have an issue arise? You are at the mercy of someone on the other end of the line after waiting to get through to customer service and that doesn't guarantee the issue is resolved. $$$ and time wasted. Once we were in Italy, Skip had arranged for concierge services from the moment we grabbed our luggage. We had private drivers and even a private boat that took us from the airport to our hotel. No waiting in line for taxis. No fumbling for directions. We were treated like VIPs from the minute we touched down in Italy until we left. Skip arranged for private tours for the sights we most wanted to see. We avoided lines that wrapped around the block just to get in and were escorted through each area with an informative tour guide. Made the experience so much nicer and allowed us to have the rest of the day to do what we wanted. We visited three cities in total and used the train to travel between them. Skip had an agent waiting for us at the hotel each time who not only got us to the train station but also walked us through the station to our seat so we knew exactly what to do and how to travel. Then when we got off the train our driver was waiting for us to take us to the next hotel. Could you figure it out on your own? Possibly. But again, why have that added stress if you don't speak the language or understand what to do. While on one of our train rides, we watched a young girl get on only to later argue with the conductor, cry and ultimately have to move because of an issue with her ticket. Misunderstandings happen. But a travel agent knows how to guide you through all of that. Our second stop could have been a disaster when we got out of our car and went to check-in to the hotel. Only after having been there for about 5 minutes we realized we had left a bag in the car that had just dropped us off. The bag had all our electronics and most importantly, our passports. I calmly reached into the suitcase and pulled out the 2nd copy of our itinerary Skip had put together for us before we left. I called the number for the car service and within minutes they returned with our bag untouched. That small lapse in judgment could have been a nightmare had we taken a city taxi. We saw some of the most amazing pieces of history, immersed ourselves in the culture, ate some of the best foods and had such a relaxing experience the whole time. Truly it was a dream vacation and one we will never forget and we have Skip to think for that. I have no reservations in recommending him to my clients and brides and using him for every trip in the future!
