It was a total zoo and amidst the ongoing renovation, which she forgot to mention, elevators were out and we had to smash into one elevator the whole time like sardines. Not to mention thtat she booked us at the back of the plane for a 5 hour trip smelling disgusting bathroom smell. After spending $1500 on this trip, willl never use her or the stupid expensive resort she put us in. Not even an email afterward to check in to see if we enjoyed it. She is awful!

Michelle Burnham and Carefree Travel are terrific. Even though I now live in Arizona, I use…read moreMichelle for my travel needs. When I think I've found the best price on a cruise or flight, she usually finds one better. She is quick to respond and always there to help when crazy stuff happens like lost luggage or cancelled flights, etc. The travel insurance she sells is so much better than what you get with a cruise or airline--and costs less! And she always guides me to better tours or travel solutions. You can't go wrong with Michelle!

My girlfriend and I decided randomly to take a trip to the South Pacific…read more Try googling South Pacific Islands and see what you get. We found that the sites were overwhelming and confusing. We didn't know what island would be best for us, where to find a real deal exclusive package that wasn't a scam etc. Figuring out the time difference with flights alone was insane. Thank you South Sea Adventures! This travel agency, based in CO, helped us plan our trip for free- well we are sure they get a kick back from the places they reccomend but still. All of the employees, including our agent, Tree, (yes that is her name), have actually been to all of these islands and resorts. That is a huge factor when asking questions. In the end we settled on Fiji, specicially Taveuni, which seems to have all of the things that we asked for at a decent price- especially considering how far away it is! If you are thinking about a trip to Fiji, Bora Bora, Tahiti etc I def. reccomend South Sea Adventures. The place loses one star only because sometimes Tree did seem a bit put out by our questions - like once she had our business she didn't go out of her way as much but still a good place I think. I will report back post-trip!

When we initially contacted South Seas Adventures, we weren't sure if we wanted Tahiti, or Fiji, or…read moresomething else. Tree helped provide options that were within our budget. We ended up going with Tree (we had talked to 3 other travel agents) because she was the only person who had actually BEEN there. That mattered to us when planning a trip that was so far away and a region of the world where we had never been. We ended up with Matangi Island in Fiji. We absolutely LOVED where we went and were VERY well taken care of there. I would use this travel agency again! There was a mix-up with flights and we were supposed to be at the resort for 7 nights, but because of this confusion it was only going to be 6. We got a free upgrade at the resort and Tree arranged for a hotel in Nadi the night we were stuck there. Feel free to message me if you have more questions!

I am extremely disappointed with how this situation was handled…read more When my flight was originally scheduled for 2:00 p.m., I contacted your team months in advance to ask if it could be moved to an earlier flight because I had to work that day. I was told the only other option was a 5:00 a.m. departure. As a broke college student, that wasn't realistic because there would be no shuttle service available, meaning I would have had to pay for transportation to the airport out of pocket. Because of that, I kept my afternoon flight. I later found out that several of my peers, who were booked through the same company and traveling to the exact same destination, were placed on earlier flights throughout the day. When I checked, those flights still had available seats. I even called the day of travel and was told I could switch to an earlier flight, but only if I paid the change fee myself. What is most frustrating is that I asked about this months ago. Had I been given accurate information at that time, this issue could have been resolved. Instead, I was told there were no other options, which was simply not true. I planned around the information I was given, only to find out later that earlier flights were available all along. I feel like I was misled, and I am very disappointed with the lack of transparency and customer service throughout this process. This situation could have been avoided with honest communication, and I hope it is addressed so other travelers do not have the same experience.

Wow what an absolutely amazing trip! Working with Adventures within reach was absolutely seamless…read more They kept us informed with the booking process and continued to give us the most detailed information for our trip up until right before we left! We were given a big packet of information with detailed description of each day of our trip (miles, sites elevation gain, etc.) which was amazing to have to reference each day. In addition to all of this, they had. a local representative show up at our hotel the first night and gave us two detailed maps with highlighted trails for each day. All of our transfers were seamless, bag transfers, everything! Thank AWR for everything! We will definitely be using your services again!!

I had learned about the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (kiliporters.org), and it was important to work with a travel agent that participated in this program, and AWR does. They were so phenomenal in the organizing and execution of that trip! We had 4 travelers with 3 different itineraries, and AWR put together trips for all of us that were outstanding! This trip far exceeded our expectations and was executed flawlessly! This year, a friend came back from trekking with gorillas in Rwanda and recommended it to us. We contacted his travel agent, and that agent put together an itinerary that we would never have afforded, and it only let us trek with gorillas. Because we were so impressed with AWR previously, I checked their website to see what they had to offer. We were able to trek with both gorillas and chimps in Uganda as well as tour various places in South Africa and Victoria Falls in Zambia, all for FAR cheaper than the proposed trip to Rwanda. We just got back from our Uganda/South Africa/Zambia adventure, and it was sensational! The accommodations were amazing! The adventures were out of this world! AWR was so great in helping us rearrange things at the last minute due to weather-related issues. I can't recommend AWR higher!

The mailings are deceptive with big red letters saying "Signature Required" or Important or Urgent but nowhere on the envelope is "AAA" or "insurance". AAA insurance is the worst. AAA appears to "share" personal information with third parties who spam you too. I've have asked repeatedly for AAA to stop this, but it continues. Unless you want a mailbox full of junk, weekly, forever, don't give AAA your name, email or address, ever. Even for towing, there are alternatives with better service for less money.
