Belated but much deserved FANTASTIC review for CTA and especially Justin Dolan. He put together a very thoughtful trip to Peru, Galápagos and Panama for me in April. I was bit nervous as I hadn't travelled by myself in a while, but he really listened to me and put together the perfect combo of group expeditions and solo time. I didn't need to worry about a thing. I feel truely so lucky and will never forget it! Also, the Pocket Travel app was super easy to use. read more

No option for less than 1 star. This experience has been less than one star. We were repeatedly provided the wrong information on the airline seating and check in process and left to fend for ourselves to try to fix it. They still cannot admit they gave us the wrong information. And now it's too late to fix it. I would have been better off making the travel plans on my own. I do not recommend this company read more

I've gone on multiple trips with the help of CTA Travel, most recently to Europe with my family this past summer. Justin Dolan was instrumental in making that vacation memorable and, most importantly, hassle-free! He made himself available to assist us in both the planning stage of our trip and while we were traveling as well. I could not recommend his services or those of CTA Travel higher! read more

Heidi helped me plan a trip with my girlfriend this summer to Puerto Vallarta! We were presented with multiple options to different kinds of all-inclusive resorts in our price range that made everything so simple for us. This included the flights around the times we wanted, transportation to the hotel from the airport, a great stay at the Puerto Vallarta Hilton, and all of the transportation back. We were even given information about all the new Covid-19 needs to keep us safe and how we needed to get tested before returning home. On top of that Heidi also gave us a list of excursions outside of the hotel. This fun list of possibilities was the cherry on top of the 4-day vacation with the decision to go on a luxury yacht ride around the bay that included drinks (alcoholic and non), snacks, and lunch. Then we arrived at a secluded beach for snorkeling, a banana boat ride, paddleboards, and kayaks. The trip was exactly what we needed this summer to get back out into the world and travel again. This was all made easy with the help of this agency and of course, Heidi who made the planning and experience even more fun. Thank you! read more

I've been using CTA for over 20 years for my travel needs. Some business and some personal....regardless, my travel needs are handled with care and professionalism. One of my favorite qualities is how they celebrate wherever you are going on vacation as if they were going too!! Good energy and good vibes backed by reliability. If you want certainty in your travel plans, this is it read more

I have used the team at CTA travel for 20+ years for my personal and business travel. Cathie, Annmarie, Justin and Jade have done an excellent job for me. Too many countless times I have been grounded by the airlines etc. and 24/7 they have been available to me to get be rebooked, re-routed etc. Thank you CTA team!!! read more

Highly recommend CTA travel for all your travel needs. Justin Dolan was incredibly helpful in creating an itinerary and arranging accommodations for several of our international family vacations. Justin was easy to contact and assist us with any questions we had. I am looking forward to using CTA to help plan our next trip! read more

Update: Yes, I am sure the 'main contact' said things were fine, because of her work relationship with a connected family member. Trust me, things were not fine. But thank you for taking the time to reply. To address the other statements: 1. Fun fact- when you fly from London to Dublin to USA... there is a custom stop in Dublin. 2. We requested different hotels than what was originally presented because we prefer to stay in nicer hotels. 4. Pick up time was changed only after we noticed the pick-up time was the same time as the connecting flight home, and things were only changed the evening before, and we did not have confirmation that the driver would be there. There was a bit of anxiety as the driver was 30 minutes late too (I do understand, the driver late is not your fault). The hotline was not called as we called the phone number on our printed documents for the car time adjustment. Unfortunately, the number that was given was incorrect. After that, we contacted your travel agent directly. There was no reach out from the company to any of the other travelers about their experience after returning home. Best wishes. read more

CTA travel agency Cerritos always had phone issue claim the best communication is to email. There was a group of 26 of us travel to Brussel ,Amsterdam and Paris. Our agent Christ used a third party to make all reservations. (Not good) The hotel choice was nice the accommodation was unacceptable, 1. the double bed rooms was single beds 2. A few of us had to stay at different hotel. 3. A senior lady had to get a room someplace for the night because of lack of communication with CTA travel to third party. After traveling eleven hours out of the Country, get to hotel to find out you don't have a room although you paid months in advance not good news to hear on arrival. I've requested several times for my proof of detail room payment at the hotels stay with my name on it, I was provided ion CTA travel letter head a typed statement nothing from Esther hotels? Christ excuse was that's all she had and it's under the group name. The group didn't pay for my hotel stay..,.The service is not good at CTA travel, where did my money go???? I still waiting for a return call. I will say the travel package was very detail with all correct travel documents needed for both cities and tours . The food at hotels was amazing the history of Brussel and Amsterdam is wonderful the nightlife , I would recommend both Cities safe travel. FYI! Please tip your taxis driver they love/appreciate it. There is a lot more..... read more

First time using CTA Travel and travel agent, Heidi Nanigian helped us with our trip to Walt Disney World. This included flight and hotel. All I can say is Heidi is freaking AMAZING!!!! She seriously was on top of things. She got us the best rates on our flights and made the whole process seamless. It was our first trip to WDW and we had a blast. No issues with flights or hotel. We stayed on property at Caribbean beach. Heidi's travel knowledge is top notch giving us great advice and recommendations ensuring we stayed within our budget but yet had felt like we didn't cut corners. read more

I'm a very absentminded person. Or ADD not really sure, what better describes me. I like to think absentminded. So that being the case, when I decided I wanted to see Washington DC. I called Jade. To which I'm glad I did. She did not miss a detail! She got us an awesome rate on our flights. Booked rooms for us, In DC, PA, and New York. And went above and beyond to make sure it was a great vacation. All while keeping it within a budget! But my favorite part was, she had me download the "pocket Travel" app. It kept me on task, and on schedule. Reminding me In advance of hotel check-ins, and flight check-ins. I was very happy with the service. I will definitely use it again. Thank You, Jade!!!!! read more

See all

My husband and I just returned from our Italian honeymoon not too long ago. The flight there which consisted of 3 stops before the final destination was tiring but bearable. Jade was very thorough and sweet to write step by step directions out to ensure we got to our destination (I was super stressed). We spent two nights on Capri island and the hotel booked by Jade was seriously right by the water. It was so relaxing to hear the seagulls and shoremen start their day in the morning and the beautiful sunrise/sunset. Relais Maresca is a wonderful hotel which had their dining on the roof top. It was pretty entertaining when the seagulls would steal the food off our plates when we just turned around for a quick minute. Ah, it is not everyday you get to fight with these guys lol Two days later, we flew to Rome to join our trafalgar tour family. First time booking with them and it was a nice experience overall. The only complaint I had on trafalgar's end was the "optional excursions." It seemed like everything you would expect to be included, was not and you had to pay extra. The add ons came out to be an additional 600 bucks for two people. Other than that, everything was peachy. Our 10 day stay flew by with good memories of gelato and cappuccino as well as the not so good memories of bathroom use being .60-1.50 euro (yikes!) and mediocre, pricey food. It was fun Italy but we are definitely glad to be back in the states where we have awesome food, good prices and free bathrooms. Jade was very helpful and responsive throughout the booking process. She is a very bubbly and sweet individual. If you have any travel needs, go to Jade. read more

We have used Heidi many times for small trips to major vacations. She's amazing and very personable. I'm a HUGE believer to staying in my lane and allowing the professional to guide in their expertise. Time and time again HEIDI makes it HAPPEN !!! Thank you Heidi and can't wait to plan our next TRIP ! read more

My Aunt and I recently planned to check Africa off the bucket list and Justin and Amanda were amazing! Their attention to detail and email reminders kept me on track and I felt ready to go! Unfortunately I had to cancel my trip due to work reasons----I reached out to Justin and Amanda for help in navigating the intricacies of submitting a claim to my travel insurance and was so grateful that they were there to help me. Africa will still be there next year and I'll get to visit then---Justin and Amanda, I'm hoping that you'll be there to help me again!!!!! read more

Karen was recommended by a friend who only traveled using her services at CTA Travel. I was planning a wedding without a wedding planner & definitely needed help with the honeymoon. I called Karen & I was clueless on which destination to chose. Via telephone, Karen suggested a few places based upon what we were thinking & immediately followed up with a few proposals. Karen is super attentive, professional & great at what she does. Every detail of our honeymoon we enjoyed thanks to Karen. From this experience, we will definitely use her for all future travel! read more

My boyfriend and I embarked on a weekend getaway to Napa and can't thank CTA Travel enough for the most amazing trip! We had the pleasure of working with Jade and she truly made this trip worthwhile. She was such a pleasure to work with and truly made the entire traveling process so easy! She made sure we were taken care of every step of the way from booking our flights to picking up our rental car and staying at the most beautiful hotel, she truly did all the work and all we had to do was pack our bags! She even contacted us prior to the trip to make sure we were set to go and asked if we had any questions before embarking. Thank you Jade for making this trip so memorable and for being accessible every step of the way. We can't wait to use CTA Travel to book our next trip! read more

HORRIBLE customer service! I expected to be greeted with a warm "Hello, How can I help you?" Instead, I was greeted with a hostile "We're busy." When I asked if I may speak with the manager, I was told she was "too busy." I left; their loss$$. Executive; World Traveler read more

Do not ever buy from these guys! I've bought a 530$ ticket from Virginia to California, and the next day when my daughter had the flight they had told her she didn't have a seat!This is unacceptable!! She arrived there early and now she has to stay a day in the airport and sleep there! Why did they sell me the ticket in the first place??!Do well and avoid this agency because something like this just shouldn't happen. read more

Called asking for a a quote on visa fees. After asking a few times if she knew what the fee was. She could not, or did not answer me. All she could tell me is if I check the website it will have the info and just go through it online. I asked her, if I am getting a visa, wouldn't I have to bring her my passport. She said no. I can just fill out the form. I finally went to the website. and basically, I would still have to provide my passport. Gave two stars because she was somewhat polite. read more

Great customer services and great deal for traveling I have been buying from other agency, but this one has been the best deal so far

He has a wealth of travel knowledge, suggesting many wonderful options to make your vacation perfect! He also is great at listening to what you desire from your trip.

I recently booked a cruise through CTA and was very pleased with my service! Jessica was my travel agent and she couldn't have been more helpful. Since this will be my first cruse, there were a lot of things that I was not aware of... such as meal times, onboard accounts, and gratuity... but Jessica answered all of my questions before I could even ask them. She was professional, very friendly and extremely helpful. I will definitely use CTA in the future... and will make sure that Jessica handles all of my travel needs. read more

I used Justin Dolan and Jade Chiarini to help with my honeymoon to Bali, Indonesia. It was my first experience using a travel agent after being to Indo several times and many other places. I have to say, it was the smoothest trip I have ever been on and we travel easy - a lot. The rates they secured were better than anything I could have secured and we had an amazing tour guide/driver to and from the airport and one day in UBUD. I have NEVER been on a "tour" as it seems hokey and too touristy for my taste. This time was epic and we knocked out all of the sightseeing in one day with NO hassles as we were with experienced locals who knew all the tricks. It would have taken us days to see all the neat stuff we did but instead we were able to maximize beach/pool time and still check all the boxes. Anyway, Justin and Jade are first class and I will absolutely use them again. read more

First time (and the last) I will use CTA Travel to book my cruise vacation. It started out ok. I gave them dates and my desired cruise destination, to which they made a good recommendation, a reservation, and a guaranteed price. Since cruising is quite expensive, I asked them if waiting a week would have any ramifications (so I could wait until the next billing cycle on my credit card). "No problem" was their response. When I went to book with CTA the next week, the agent informed me that the PRICE HAD GONE UP and shortly after, that they could no longer reserve my room (even though they promised to) because the cruise had SOLD OUT. I would have not waited the week if they had said I may lose my reservation or have to pay more. I made it very clear to the agent JADE CHIARINI that these were my concerns. Oh, and JADE promised to send me (via email) cruise choices and prices within 1 day our our initial contact. I finally got the email 2 days later, but only after calling to reminder her. Never again! read more
