We arrived home early Wednesday morning from our amazing trip to Southern Italy. I can't speak highly enough about the entire trip.......the hotels, private car transfers, guided tours and locations in Southern Italy were all excellent. We very much liked the Hotel Continental in Sorrento. Great location and very comfortable and scenic room. Perfect for the week in Sorrento. Also loved the Masseria Villa Verde in Fasano and the Borgo delle Pietre in Agrigente. Lovely rooms and great service. Of course, the food throughout Italy was amazing, however we had one of our most memorable lunches at Borgo delle Pietre. A big plate of sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil and bread and paired with a bottle of local red wine. A very simple meal ---- entirely delicious! All of the guided tours were led by excellent guides and all private car transfers were on time (always about 15 minutes early). It was a very good decision to hire the private car service throughout our trip so we could relax and enjoy the scenery. This was a dream trip come true! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would... she's only in it for the money & is very unreliable if you're not going to make her a fortune. My family was very excited to work with her and invested a lot of time and effort into planning a trip with her. We were all very excited for this trip because of all the activities she offered us at first. All of the sudden (VERY LAST MINUTE) she told the family member that was planning it for our group, that "she cannot understand" them. My family member is an immigrant but has lived and worked in the US for many years and speaks perfect English. With everything going on politically it did not give us a good feeling that ALLLL of a sudden she backs out and completely wasted our time and made us feel like we weren't important enough for her. She even went ahead and made a few derogatory comments about the questions and details my family member was asking about. After talking to many other people that have traveled with her...they have NOTHING nice to say. She will get your hopes up and leave you stranded last minute if she notices you will not make her a lot of money. I would definitely not recommend traveling with her. She says she plans trips for "all over the world" but she can't even follow through for a trip within the country. VERY disappointed. read more

Donna helped us to coordinate a fantastically amazing trip to Africa in October. She partnered with andBeyond to arranged the onsite lodging and all of our travel needs. It was an amazing trip. Donna was very responsive... and the trip exceeded all of our expectations! read more

Hi Donna- got back last night. Thank you so much for your guidance and knowledge! There's no way I could have done this without you. It truly was the trip of a lifetime! I'm looking forward to many more collaborative experiences. Thanx again for everything! Every detail was handled in such a responsive/responsible manner. Nothing but praise! read more

I have used Donna for more than five years now. She is amazing, helpful, and always always responds even when I email her while on the trip she arranged for us. If I could give her 10 stars I would! You can't find a better agent. She is helpful and knowledgeable and she offers the kind of service that used to be the gold standard and I assure you no one will do a better job than her arranging your trips and working out the details with you all with a smile and grace. You are lucky if she has time to take you on as a new client! read more

Donna, first of all, I did not yell at you! It's amazing how you can lie. And I definitely never said anything about writing any kind of review. As far as traveling to Russia - your initial answer to me was different from what you wrote in your unnecessary answer. You stated to me then that there is absolutely no way for anybody to travel from US to Russia. You never said that it's your particular company's policies. Actually you never explained anything, you just said you nonsense and hanged up on me before I could even say anything. Disgusting attitude. You just heard word Russia and decided to discriminate. I have to say to you something that you knew very well - there are tickets to Russia and these are available. Once again, you lie like you breathe. I don't know how you even get clients. read more

I worked with Donna of Donchka travel to plan a family trip. Donna is patient and knowledgeable and put me at ease. And, she doesn't charge for her services! Our trip is on hold for now, but I will use her in the future and highly recommend her services. read more

I should have done this a while ago but anyway, here it is. We had Donna book our last 2 vacations for us, both went off without an issue, the first was Hawaii, I had been there before so I didn't really think much about it. Even though Donna did indeed go out of her way to make sure we has a good time and everything went well. A great experience to say the least. Our second vacation Donna set up for us was Canada/Niagara falls, I can't say how glad I was that we had her sort it out for us, it was all the little things you have no idea about when going to another country or just somewhere you have no idea about that she handled perfectly. From the airline tickets to confirming we got the room with the view we were looking for to the shuttle from the airport, I can't say enough about how big a difference this all made to the ease and enjoyment of our vacation. Everything was well explained and well documented, nothing left to question. We will definitely use her services again in the future. Thanks! read more

Donchka Travel - This is a pic from our room. the view was amazing! - Travel Agents Near Me

I love Donna and Dontchka travel. She goes above and beyond during these times of uncertainty for travel. She's super responsive by text and email. She has great ideas on hotels and has a lot of connections and relationships to help sweeten and smoothen the travel experience. She works 24/7 and is reliable. I use her for all my travel needs and consider her a friend. read more

Donna helped me figure out all of the best options for my much needed vacation. The costs she quoted were better than going through any of the Expedia and online travel sites. And all hotel options included the transport to/from the hotel at the destination, which is one less thing to worry about. Best of all, I got all of the amazing inside details from someone who actually travels to all of these places and knows the ins and outs. Thumbs up! read more

Donna is a great travel agent! She knows how to put together an amazing European trip. She will send you to uncrowded amazing places that you will never forget while keeping within your travel budget. If you have a problem, call Donna and she will fix it - anywhere you are in the world. Even if she is traveling herself. Donna has sent me on a cruise, several trips to France (including helping me with a fabulous chateau), and we are now planning a trip to Italy. Donna has helped dozens of my friends with travel plans. Destination wedding? Call Donna. Second Honeymoon? Call Donna. Need to put up 100 of your closest friends right here in LA, call Donna. read more

Donna was a dream to work with!! Not only did she help us book our cruise during the busy holiday season without any delays, but she also used her vast resources to help us with a personal issue that was preventing us from selecting the best cruise for us. I highly recommend working with Donna!! read more

Donna raises the bar when it comes to booking and assisting you with your travel plans. I was a virgin traveler and quickly became spoiled by Donna's attention to details. Donna went out of here way several times during my business trips to assure flights, car rentals and hotels were spot on with their services. I'm extremely grateful for Donna's expertise and knowledge in her field. Donna has a corporate and personal travel client for life. Thank you for ruining me. read more

Donna has been our family travel agent for years and she is wonderful!! She knows great hotels and we're always treated very well with great extras. She travels a lot herself, so she's very knowledgeable and offers excellent advice and suggestions to make your travel as easy and fun as possible. We have been to multiple different cities with Donna's help and planning and we have had a blast. We will use Donchka for all of our trips!! read more

Wow so wow- all the way. From our initial call to follow up emails / questions answered / locations and destinations discussed / budget and price conscious / even diet and circumstance sensitive - Donna is a great pleasure to deal with and we are so ever happy we found her to help plan our complicated honeymoon! No doubt we are saving this gem again and again for future. Thank you Donna! read more

Donna is my go to girl! My husband and I have been working with her for over five years, and I can honestly say that we have referred her to over 35 of our friends, and she continues to work with them. Donna arranged my first two trips to Europe as well as many other cruises and trips for my husband and myself, several birthday cruises for close friends, and group cruises and trips for an organization I am involved in. One of the things I appreciate the most about Donna, is that I can call and email with vacation ideas and she researches for me, and sometimes we find something that works, and sometimes we don't and she never makes me feel as though I have wasted her time. Donna's phone number is on speed dial, and I refer her to people on an ongoing basis, I consider her to be the BEST! read more

As a life long traveler I could not be more skeptical of using a travel agent. As far back as I remember I have traveled with my family internationally and through the US. I love traveling so much that I worked as motorcycle tour guide in Spain for two years organizing and leading tours. With my experience the thought of using a travel agent had never crossed my mind. My life leaves me very little time to plan a trip let alone a 30th birthday adventure with my amazing girlfriend to South America. After a close friend recommended reaching out to Donna I hesitantly called, after our first 30 minute conversation I had faith that she had a good idea of what I was looking for but honestly was still hesitant and picturing a package vacation. I was wrong, she exceeded my expectations in every way! I had given her a price point and specific desires, she met the price point and gave me a less and more expensive option as well. Me being a difficult person of course I wanted to mix and match and find other places, no matter what I brought up Donna had a helpful honest answer. In the end we put together a unique trip that was tailer made to fit my expectations and for a price that I could not match no matter how many hours I spent combing deal sites. I give Donna a full recommendation and thank you for the making me feel and showing that she cares as much as I do about my trip. read more

Donna is extremely knowledgeable about travel to Europe. She was generous in sharing information about an itinerary to Rome and Barcelona although I wasn't quite ready to book the trip. She knows her stuff and she is very candid and honest. read more

Just got off the phone with her. Initially I was so excited to have found some one that seemed so nice and knowledgeable and could make this whole shopping for a honeymoon easier and less stressful on me... Then two things went wrong: #1 (the red flag) I explained I wasn't sure if an all-inclusive was right for me since I don't really drink nor eat meat. She told me to go EP (non all-inclusive) and then quoted me at around NINE THOUSAND dollars!?! I told her at that price why would I not just do a sandals all inclusive for four thousand?? She then goes "Oh.. so that's your budget.. four thousand... that's okay... nothing wrong with that..." in a derogatory tone..what???? why WOULD something be wrong with that???? even though my budget is much higher I didn't feel the need to tell her as she was clearly trying to judge me based on my budget. #2 (the hell no, good bye) She tells me "You know, you're not going to like this" and starts rambling and beating around the bush about how I'm doing my own research (um, what bride wouldn't look up honeymoons???) and reading blogs about it ( right... it is 2012, we all read blogs) and that she's going to have to charge me $100 (she initially told me it's completely free and she makes money from the hotels only) that she'll apply later to the hotel when I book with her. I asked her why she suddenly would be charging me $100 for being an informed consumer?? She was literally trying to punish me for being an informed consumer and not an idiot she can squeeze more money from. She goes on to tell me that I will probably not book with her etc etc. um, hello, I'm calling you for your services! and then she tries to refer me to someone else because what else could she say to that?? that was clearly what she was doing. I told her no thanks! if they're doing business with you, I clearly need to stay away! This woman also went on about a few things related to money. She clearly only wants to help people who can spend lots of money (sucks for you Donna, I was one of them) and that really bothers me. I want someone customer service oriented, not someone who is just trying to squeeze money out of you. I am really offended at how she judged me and I hope all you Yelpers take this to heart. BE AN INFORMED CONSUMER!!!! AND DON'T LET PEOPLE LIKE THIS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU! read more

It's my pleasure to recommend Donna Wolfe. If you're like me, you don't vacation often. The last thing you want to do is stress when you're away from responsibilities. Donna will make your international trips, boat cruises, and even weekend get aways lifetime memories (great memories!). Donchka Travel is the only travel service I recommend. read more

Donna is the BEST. She is super sweet, knowledgable and up to date. She has been planning all my trips for the past 6 years and they have all been great. She is always available , you can call her any time of the day. She travels a lot so she is always current , you ask her any question regarding any destination and she has the answer for you . Travel agents like Donna with great personality are hard to find . She is AMAZING. read more

Donna really is the perfect travel agent. We provided her short notice for a large trip to Argentina. She listened, asked questions, listened again and returned to us a wonderful exciting trip with exactly what we wanted and, perhaps, some of what we didn't know we wanted. This professional coordinated with several international travel agencies which all performed magnificently. Donna adjusted timing and some inclusions/exclusions without hesitation, and post haste. We really can't praise this woman enough in a profession that many folks have forgotten exists in this internet world. She is personable, bright and well traveled and appeared as excited about our trip as we were. Our next adventure will be in Donna's capable and enthusiastic hands. read more

Donna does a great job taking care of her clients. I used her for my honeymoon booking and then, recently approached her to help with a Caribbean holiday. She listened to all of my needs and got back to me in a timely manner. She had also been to the hotel where I wanted to stay and has several helpful recommendations for day hikes and boat trips. I highly recommend her. read more

Nice people, they were helpful when trying to plan our travels. Ask them to check different dates for better pricing.

We booked our first Hawaii trip thru Donna and we had the pleasure of getting absolute excellent customer service!! Five stars aren't enough to praise her professionalism and dedication to what she obviously enjoys at its fullest and that is servicing her clients! We highly recommend Donna for all your travel needs! Cesar & Regina Calderon read more

Donna is fantastic. She is really nice, very knowledgeable and went above and beyond the call of duty to make herself available to us when we were arranging our trip. couldn't have done it without her. read more

I had a really great experience here. Donna booked my travel for a vacation to Greece and she was incredibly helpful and was always available for questions. She went above and beyond in making everything happen. Highly recommended! read more

I have worked with Donna a few times now for business travel, I work in the entertainment industry and I own a business in health and wellness. I've also made personal inquiries for travel plans with Donchka Travel. Donna is so easy to work with and takes care of everything!!! Professional, fast, efficient and a great attitude! read more

Donna is such a sweetheart. She offered us at Maze Rooms some wonderful advice and we are looking forward to working with her in the future.

Use Donna for many of my ski trips. Very attentive to my needs; checks all the options so I know my travel package has been shopped. Has some great deals. Also gets good hotels and rates for my business travel. read more

Donna is the ultimate professional and was a great help when my friend and I went to Prague, Vienna & Budapest two years ago. All of our flights and hotels were in place, an the itinerary she prepared was easy to read and very complete. She even booked our train tickets for our travel between the cities, and gave us a timetable so that we could decide before we left Los Angeles which trains to take to maximize our time in each city. Since my friend spoke only a little German, we felt much more at ease having Donna make all of our arrangements. When we arrived in each city, everything was as it was depicted, and the hotels were in good areas, which was important to us as two single women traveling alone. I can't say enough about Donna, and will happily use her again in the future. LAQ Los Angeles read more

A travel agent who takes the time to explain what is on offer, listens to your preferences and concerns, and then books you into one perfect hotel after another, train ride, flights and car rentals is really hard to find. Not only did Donna arrange for the best trip I've taken for a decade, she also arranged for fabulous accommodations for my nephews on their respective honeymoon's in Thailand and Paris. It doesn't get better, or more knowledgeable than Donchka Travel! read more

I have known Donna for over 30 years and she has helped me plan two amazing trips - one to London/Paris and a cruise to Alaska. Both were bucket list items and executed beautifully. The suggested hotels were perfect as well as was the cruise - Celebrity Solstice to Alaska. Donna's extensive travel experience, her patience and attention to detail is the perfect combination to preparing the perfect vacation. I look forward to Donna helping me plan my next big adventure very soon! read more

I would definitely recommend Donna as a travel agent. She has been just about everywhere in the world (literally), so has been able to give me recommendations based on her personal experience. She really tries to get to know her clients and what their needs/wants are so that she can provide the best travel experience for them. Donna just planned my honeymoon (the second vacation she has done for me) to Puerto Vallarta and was able to get us a good deal that included extra perks that we could not have gotten if we booked ourselves through the web (ex- honeymoon packages, jacuzzi on private patio, transportation to and from airport). read more

I know in the current age of technology, a lot of us book our trips online, but let me tell you why I won't be doing that now. Donna was superb. I was planning a trip for 7 of my friends for our 40th Birthday Celebration. Work schedules, kid schedules - it wasn't easy. But once we decided Mexico was where we wanted - Donna got to work. I can see pictures online, but only someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Donna can hear what we're looking for, and tell us exactly where to stay and not stay - based on our needs and individual personalities. And not just what resort to pick - she knows exactly what cities, and what beaches are best for your needs. It's all paradise, but not every paradise has what makes you feel like you're on vacation. Her suggestions and choices were on-point. And we were all extremely impressed at what she was able to deliver for our somewhat restricted budget. Arranging to get 7 ladies from 4 different cities to all arrive with no incident - is truly shocking. From the moment we stepped off the arranged shuttle van, and were greeted with our first (of many) cocktails, the trip just kept getting better. By the end of the trip, all 7 of us vowed to come back again - with the men next time...and Donna will be the first one we call. Thanks again for an amazing trip, Donna. I know we never would have had such an easy, amazing vacation if it weren't for you! read more

Donna recently helped us with our travel plans to Las Vegas. She is wonderful to work with and really knows her stuff. She made all of our flight and hotel arrangements and our trip was perfect! She takes the stress and pressure of the planning away from you! We will definitely use Donna again for any of our upcoming travel needs. read more

Donna is a superb travel agent. She always goes the extra distance in making sure your trip is the best ever. No surprises when it comes to working with Donna. read more

Donna of Doncha Travel has provided us with excellent service both with tours and with individual travel. She gave us plenty of options and helped us get very good rates. I was very touched and pleased by the booklet she sent us for each of the international trips she arranged for us. Donna has been very straight with us, and very accommodating to our needs and wishes--and she's got a great sense of humor. read more

Donna is wonderful. She has planned many vacations for me and I have referred her to friends!

So here's another reason we love Donna....she emailed us first thing this morning to offer us a 50% larger suite on our upcoming cruise for LESS money!!!! "Sure" we said...save me $200, get me a great room, PLUS get me connecting rooms with my travel mates!!!! Thank you Donna!!!! read more
