Robert Bridel was our primary contact for arranging and booking our 2025 river cruise tour on the Danube River from Budapest to Vilshofen (in Germany). This included the pre-cruise and post-cruise land packages and round-trip air transportation. In a nutshell, Robert was incredible and professional on every front -- simply fabulous to work with. For starters, I appreciated his attention to detail, his diligence, and his behind-the-scenes coordination. In aggregate, these traits highlighted his exemplary work ethic and broad expertise in the realm of leisure travel. His conscientiousness was also very commendable, I might add. He was always available to present us with workable options and advise us on a variety of matters, as needed, which we very much appreciated. I was also impressed by his ability to coordinate our needs with AmaWaterways. All in all, the entire cruise was fantastic. In summary, Robert can be a very valuable asset in the realm of planning and coordinating such cruises. Very impressive, Robert. Thank you for the wonderful job, we wish you continued success in all your endeavors, and we're glad we found you on Yelp." --- Ramesh & Patricia Ramchandani. read more

Robert, it took you long enough to answer and you reaction was as if I made it all up! How you treated me on the phone was abominable as you made it crystal clear you would NOT be helping me so you got caught with your pants down and made it sound as though my response was not a legitimate one! You and I both know the truth and no matter how much you spin the truth, does NOT make it so! read more

Robert is absolutely the best travel agent I have ever worked with. His attention to detail is amazing and his enthusiasm for his work and for making your trip AMAZING is so apparent.

Robert helped me coordinate my honeymoon travels in Dec of 2018. I told him where we planned on going and for how long, he compiled a travel package with our flight, hotel, vouchers for additional travel (shuttles, ferries, etc.) and vouchers for activities (4x4 tour, jet skis, etc.) he was very good at explaining the details from start to finish. We went to Moorea in Tahiti from Las Vegas. We had a blast and could not thank him enough. read more

When the vendor of a planned trip was slow to communicate, Robert was able to step in, crack the whip, and move the process along. Wound up having an excellent trip, and when we broke off the tour to improvise, those accommodations (Robert provided) were the best of the trip (Switzerland and Italy). read more

For any of you looking for a travel agent to help with bookings, Robert Bridel should be your first call. He planned a wonderful 2 week trip for my family including Croatia, Italy, and France.

We never could have coordinated a trip like this on our own. Thanks to Robert and Fanda Travel we had the trip of a lifetime!! read more

Grateful and blessed for Robert with Fanda travel. Definitely recommend him in helping with all travel plans. He's in this 100% made me feel comfortable and took all the worries so it gave me more time to focus what this is a vacation. He helped take the stress and manage my sanity in helping plan the best memorable Birthday trip I will definitely remember for the rest of my life. My first time to South Beach Miami Florida. All I can say is Wow! This hidden lil piece of paradise is worth it. Robert took care of the moment I walked off to the best beach front hotel till the moment I flew back home. I loved my seaplane flight from Miami with Lunch in the Florida Keys and parasailing, jet skiing, paddleboarding, enjoying historical sites, museums, parks, dancing salsa, restaurants, art, or just hanging out relaxing in the beach everyday with warm clean waters and white sand. The chill relaxed environment was so needed and made this a yearly birthday tradition. read more

Robert did a great job planning our trip. We told him what we were looking for and our budget and he met all of the qualifications along with staying at our budget. We went to an all inclusive in Playa del Carmen and he had even arranged for shuttle service from and to the airport once we landed. Because Robert is such an avid traveler himself, he can recommend things based on his personal experience and not just what the promotions are saying which makes him far more trustworthy. This is the second time he has booked a trip for us and I have nothing but good things to say about our experiences. read more

I have used Robert to plan my companies corporate group cruise and have just arrived back from a log awaited PERSONAL vacation in Australia.

We are pleased with the entire smooth process of our vacation and are so grateful that we put our trust and faith in Robert to take care of everything and keep it stress-free. read more

Where to begin with this review. After enjoying my trip and simmering down I have decided to inform others. This was my first time using a travel agent. After speaking with Robert for the first time I felt confident that he was well traveled and seasoned in the planning department. Two weeks later he called to inform me he forgot everything we discussed, was embarrassed and assured me he would "throw" something in for the inconvenience. (Never happened.) 7 months before we were to depart I made sure Robert had the spelling for all passengers and informed him of a couple special requests: wheelchair access for my grandmother and not many tours. I started making payments. At this time I corrected him on incorrect spelling of my grandmothers name. Finally last payment due just under 3 months of departure. I tell him when to pull the funds from account. Was very specific because we are also doing some home renovations. Of course he pulls the day my home renovation is to come out. Unauthorized! Next I meet with him a couple weeks to departure. I find out I am scheduled and paid for more tours then I wanted. 1 of which is 11.5 hours!!! (No we did not finish it. Way too long) and saw he spelled my grandmas name wrong AGAIN! This time the first name. A week before we leave he calls me a few times while I am at work. Messages me. I can't respond. Nor could I reach him when I got off. Monday morning I call and he immediately interrupts me to say that I need to pay almost $1800.00 to fix his misspell! Absolutely not. I called around to see my options. The airlines tell me no problem we will fix it. When I told Robert he said he would need written confirmation. I call the airlines back just to find out he cancelled my grandmothers flight without my consent! After all was said and done. I had to pay 1/3 (over $600) because he forgot the E at the end of her name. But without paying. She wouldn't be able to go. And this was a Christmas gift to her and my grandpa. So they could see her native land Norway. When we arrived to the Airport at 3am, it took over an hour for the check in to find our tickets. No wheelchair assistance. It was a nightmare. My grandma has MS. She cannot walk distance and needed assistance on the plane. Well she had to sit alone. And at each airport we had to request help. During the trip we had issues with confirming drivers. He misinformed us about seeing the House of Anne Frank. (So we never got to go) Luckily we were in great company and got the pleasure to enjoy the trip of a life time. Despite Roberts lack of detail and poor communication. It's hard to take reviews to heart because everyone can have a bad day. But I HIGHLY recommend finding another agent. I don't know if he is too busy or what but I felt that he could talk sweet and when it came to delivery he fell sorely short. He disregarded what my requests were. I shouldn't have to repeat the timeline and destinations as many times as I had to. And if you can't properly take notes or read the proper spelling, then request copies of photo ids. In the end. I spent more then I anticipated. And with how much it was we sholdn't have had the hiccups we did. Your better off hopping on Pinterest and planning your dream trip yourself. read more

I truly enjoyed working with Robert on booking a quick getaway with my wife to Carlsbad California. I am incredibly busy with my work and unfortunately I do not have a lot of time to research hotels and travel arrangements. Like anyone else I am always interested in a good deal. I called Robert and asked if he could look into a nice resort in Carlsbad CA. We fell in love with its beaches and quaint community when we lived there in the early 80's. Carlsbad is such a beautiful beach city without the rush of San Diego. I really appreciated Robert finding a newer hotel/resort for our stay. The Hilton Cape Rey was incredible from the amenities to the staff. Robert was able to secure us a great rate for our stay and was great at sending confirmation on all details. All that was left for us to do was enjoy our trip. Thank you Robert for helping us with our family getaway!! read more

We recently returned from a Caribbean cruise that we booked through Helene. We told her where we wanted to go and she took care of our trip on very short notice.

I had an amazing trip to Australia thanks to Robert at Fanda Travel. My husband and I decided to take an international trip for our 25 wedding anniversary. We had never traveled internationally before and decided to use a travel agent instead of booking it ourselves. I found Robert thanks to wonderful Yelp reviews and I am very glad I did. He listened to what we wanted to do and booked tours accordingly. We had such an amazing time that we are already planning our next overseas adventure and Robert will be booking that one too. read more

I had the best experience with Robert at Fanda travel! I wanted to book a trip to Paris only 6 weeks out. He was still able to obtain great rates for flights and my hotel. I had never been to France, and Robert made great suggestions and booked the perfect tours. He took the time to answer any questions that I had prior to my trip, and he followed up after I got back to see how everything went. I will definitely have Robert book my next big trip! read more

My colleagues and I had to book a work trip to Vancouver. Price point and location was extremely important, and everything was out of our budget.

We had breakfast with the birds and one night slept in a tree-house! This was a fantasy vacation I will never forget!! Thank you Robert! read more

Robert and Helene were fantastic in helping me organize and coordinate a Caribbean cruise for a group of 20 plus people. Not only did I need the organize the rooms but I was running a conference on the cruise and they hep me put that together too. The took so much of the burden off of me and kept following up every step of the way. I arrived on the ship without a worry in the world and that's the way it should be.

Fanda Travel and Robert are superb! My wife and I wanted to go to Cuba. Luckily we found Robert and he walked us through the whole process. The 1-week itinerary he arranged for us included both Havana and Varadero Beach. Our local tour guide arranged by Robert was fabulous and made the trip just that more special. While you hear about all the hassles involved for Americans traveling to Cuba, Robert pulled it off without a hitch!!! Thanks for the great memories you provided us! read more

The prices here are always the best so I do not shop for travel deals anymore. Now I have more time for vacations...LOL

Robert helped me book a Mediterranean cruise as well as our extended stay in Europe. He was very helpful in recommending the best cruise that fit our needs - as there are many choices! He also helped us book all our transfers, tours, and hotels when we were on our own. The cruise was FANTASTIC. It exceeded all our expectations. His help with our extended stay in Europe made the whole experience seamless! If you need help booking a vacation that is full of logistics, multiple stops, etc. - Robert is awesome! In addition he has traveled all over the world and has experienced many of his recommendations himself - so he's familiar with what he's recommending. Super knowledgeable and helpful! Thank you Robert for helping us arrange a trip of a lifetime! read more
