Gretchen put together a marvelous customized trip for me to Australia last year. Since I'd never…read morebeen, I thought it was wise to engage professional assistance with the planning air & ground travel, lodging, & activities, as well as selecting appropriate insurances. She worked closely with me to find activities that were both interesting & fun, while staying within my budget. I think most agents would have encouraged me to take a cruise but I much prefer to spend my time experiencing the culture & the people, doing walking tours, kayaking, & spending time exploring. Gretchen really listened & built an amazing trip!! Although it's taken me quite a while to write this review, I think she deserves the highest recommendation for her tireless efforts to provide a smooth travel experience. She was happy to answer any questions & even provided me a detailed printed & electronic itinerary. Since I was traveling alone, I relied completely upon her expertise. I highly recommend her services!!

Gretchan worked with us for months planning flights, seats, hotels, location, tours, eurostar train tickets. Our trip was US to Germany to London and home. Gretchen made us an itinerary printed everything had it all in order with the exact airline seats, class of tickets/seats and followed any airline changes. She collected all the tickets for tours and any tickets we needed printed them and mailed them in a packet to us. She followed our trip via email to make sure we had everything, and things were going as planned. She made sure we had travel insurance and a checklist of everything we needed to take care of for international travel. She is very well educated and prepared. She truly cared that our trip was exactly as we imagined and dreamed of. I would recommend her to, not just anyone, but everyone! I am not a friend or family member. This review is from a real customer. I have already begun to plan a cruise for next year with her.

My college friend and I just got back from Cusco Peru for a trip to Manchu Picchu, and wow what a…read moretrip. We have both traveled all over the planet and this was our first trip using a travel company. Lets just say, Adios Adventure Travel has been absolutely amazing. When we decided to plan this trip, we did a Google search for Manchu Picchu. We came across Adios Adventure Travel. I sent an email with the information about what we were looking for, and BOOM Jacquie responded right away with tons of information. She was amazing through the decision process. She answered every question we had, was super punctual in responding, and helped us to get to the point of booking with such ease! When we called to actually book, Jacquie was so much fun to talk with. We talked on the phone for almost 2 hours discussing this trip. She recommended places to go, things we were interested in, made sure to let the travel guides know the details for those things we were interested in, and so much more. If I can travel anywhere, it has to be a place where I have a "Jacquie" available for questions, answers, and great information. Once we got to Cusco, we met with our guide Victor. He took care of us the entire trip... and when I mean taken care of us, he made sure we knew where we were going, what times to be where, and stepped us through everything everyday. Each place we visited Victor was so knowledgeable about the site, city, people, and the history. He was so extremely polite, giving, and funny! He told us many of his personal stories, especially the ones that were connected to the places we visited. Victor was also patient about our time, especially at different locations, allowing us to see the different sites but to also give us time to look and experience for ourselves. We told Victor in the beginning of our trip, things we were interested in seeing and experiencing... he adjusted our schedule to fit those things in and even took us to amazing restaurants for some very authentic Peruvian food. We were both blown away at the professionalism that everyone at Adios Adventure Travel had. I recommend anyone who is wanting to travel to Peru, Chile, Ecuador, or Bolivia, to contact Adios Adventure Travel and see what they have to offer... they will make your trip amazing and so much easier!

If you are ever considering going to Peru & hiking Machu Picchu, definitely go through Adios Travel Adventure. Both co-owners Jacquie & Vidal were wonderful to work with (and Heather as well)! We did a 5 day hike and at times is was very challenging but completely worth it. There was an issue with our initial itinerary that we picked, but Jacquie & Vidal did everything they could and made it right. It all worked out for the best, and we can't say enough good things about working with them. I contacted Jacquie many months before our trip and from start to finish, it was a breeze to work with her. She always responded in a timely manner to all of my questions (and I had a TON of questions)! Lol. It made planning the trip fun & stress free! I don't regret one bit going through Adios Travel Adventure! We recommend them 100%. And if you ever get to choose your guide - ask them to book Klever for you...absolutely wonderful!!

And even if this wasn't my first time I expected to be educated and made to feel like things were taken care of. There was a miscommunication regarding flights. When I presented questions and concerns the representative named Jenn was extremely rude and seemed to take my concerns as a personal attack. When I explained that there must have been a miscommunication and requested she educate me on the process she told me that there was no miscommunication and that I was the one at fault. After multiple back and forth communications and the rude nature of her responses, I did not feel confident in trusting my travel goals to Jenn based on her emotional responses. I asked to work with another member of her team, however my request was not honored. Her professionalism was deficient and it seemed she did not care. I am not sure what was wrong with Jenn but this whole experience was baffling and I am still confused. The level of customer service I received was non existent. I would not place my trust in this agency.

This review is for the U.S. Postal Passport Services located at the Kempsville Post Office branch…read more The branch is right off Kempsville Rd with parking in front for the office, but parking for passport is to the side. Customers will need to drive in back to enter. The lot is huge and signage is over the door. Of note this is the only passport service on the Southside. Appointments are highly recommended, but when slow they will take walk-in. Customers can compete forms online or in person. Check or debit card appear to be the only two forms of payment. Cash was not discussed however. There is plenty of seating as the area is spacious. Two agents were working and luckily caught at a slow weekday. The wait was short, the process easy and the customer service exceptional. My daughter who is 18 will have her passport in around six weeks. She also opted for a second form of ID the passport card. It's the size of a drivers license. It's somewhat newer. You can bring your own photo of official size, or opt for the agent to take. If picky bring your own, the photo for my daughter came out extremely light. My experiences with the post office have been average to weak, so this is a huge bump in confidence for the U.S. Postal Service. Also of mention for those that need documentation they can obtain online through Vital Check. I requested a Yelp edit to add passport services. Full 5 stars.
