Thailand has been on our "bucket list" and being invited to a Thai wedding provided the incentive to make Thailand our next international destination. From the moment we contacted Irene, we knew were would be in good hands (was there any doubt?)! After providing responses to Irene's questionnaire regarding our interests and desires about Thailand (along with several emails, text messages, and phone conversations), she provided an excellent itinerary that included flights, private tours, private drivers to and from airports, superb accommodations, and expert guides. During our 5 nights in Bangkok, Irene curated a centrally located hotel in Bangkok, an informal food tour in Chinatown, and an exceptionally knowledgeable local guide to introduce us to the some of the most historically important temples in Bangkok and Ayutthaya. During our first 4 nights in Chiang Mai, Irene curated a modern-styled hotel minutes away from the legendary Night Market (a must experience). We had the pleasure of touring Chiang Mai and the hills of Doi Inthanon National Park with an experienced and friendly local guide. There is no substitute to having a local guide to provide insights and knowledge about Thai culture, food, and history. Additionally, Irene had arranged a private cooking class where we prepared 7 Northern Thailand dishes, all delicious!! Our last 3 nights were spent at the Onsen at Moncham, a Japanese-themed retreat in the mountains before returning home. Although Irene provided many options for our destinations/events and hotels, our itinerary was completely customizable and ultimately, our choice. Whether you want to experience Thailand on the beaten or unbeaten path, but with comfort, reliability, and service, let Irene at Travel Darlings handle your needs!

Working with an agenda combining golf, architectural touring, fine dining, the arts, and the beachfront, each stop allowing time for shopping and people-watching. Guides with locally based expertise tailored each expedition according to our interests and moods, from a unique vista overlooking San Sebastian to a just-off-the-boat lunch of turbot and sashimi-grade tuna. Our guide for Biarritz presented us with 120 photos highlighting our day of exploration. At the Dali Museum in Figueres, where the artwork is presented with little explanation, our guide provided deep background context, significantly elevating my appreciation of the artist. Irene secured prime time reservations at 3 Michelin starred restaurants including Besta in Barcelona which was the favorite among our group of 4. For lighter specialty fare, we enjoyed pintxos and vermouth in outdoor cafes in Bilbao and San Sebastian, and tapas in Barcelona and Girona. Our stay at The Artist Hotel in Bilbao overlooked the Guggenheim Museum and the river, where a lavish breakfast was served in an open-air setting on the top floor. The hotel featured artistic appointments echoing the style of Gehry and other mid-century masters. Each of the five golf courses combined challenging layouts with views of the surrounding hills and neighboring cities. Highlights included Real Sociedad de Golf de Neguri, aptly called "The Torrey Pines of Bilbao" and Real Club de Golf El Prat in Barcelona, where the huge, sculpted greens provided welcome relief from a profusion of sand traps. The highlight of the trip for me was a Flamenco performance by well-known stars of the craft (and an exceptionally gifted guitar player) at Casa Sors, with a cozy night-club setting inside a guitar museum. Irene provided us with a detailed (and colorful) itinerary, creative suggestions, expert planning, and direct communication throughout the trip which once again added to our confidence at just the right moments!

This was our first experience using a travel agent and honestly, we initially started down this path out of pure exhaustion... Having worked as a producer for Discovery Travel Media for years, I was one of those people who always felt I "had to do it on my own". Even if I REEEAAALLLYYY didn't want to... Like when I planned a two-week trip for 10 people to six stops in Sicily for my mother's 60th birthday. **SIGH** But things are different now, dammit. SuperHubs and I have SUPER stressful jobs in tech. Life sucks. The world might be ending soon. We spent most of 2017 gasping for air, trying to stay afloat at work and in life. Worrying about deadlines, the economy, nuclear war... WHO HAS TIME TO GET ON TRIPADVISOR AND RESEARCH HOTEL REVIEWS? Good god, save us from all these trivial choices so we can concentrate on building our bomb shelter! Around August, I decided we HAD to get away (if we survived 2017). But there was simply NO WAY we could possibly plan the kind of vacation we needed on our own. And so I set out in search of the mythical "travel agent" to help us... And that's how I found Stacy and Edge of Wonder. Everything people have written about her and EoW here is true. She planned us the PERFECT vacation and I didn't. have. to do. ANYTHING. No joke! It was exactly what we wanted. She was communicative in putting it all together, super organized with all our documentation, friendly and patient (even when I freaked out at the last minute over rain in the forecast - almost making me believe she could ACTUALLY make the weather better for us if need be). The itinerary and the service she arranged for us was top notch, from the moment we landed in Thailand until we stepped on the plane home. We loved our hotels, our guides, not a single hiccup in transportation... It was all seamless and totally us. Even the little bit of rain that finally did arrive was timed just right - at this point, I'm SURE that was her doing. While I was floating in the Andaman Sea on our last day, totally truly chillaxed, I closed my eyes and tried to send her a virtual hug. I hope she got it. So if you're wondering if travel agents still exist in the Age of Expedia and what the hell they do... This - they do this: They let you ACTUALLY RELAX WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION. Thank you, Stacy, and Edge of Wonder!

My previous travel agent told me that there was no cruise during the dates I could travel with my kids before school began. I asked the same question to Deb and she found a cruise that departed from Anchorage and perfectly fit our needs. If she could do what others could not then I knew this was someone really good. She has travelled extensively and lived in many places so she has a good sense of what to do. I am currently planning a trip to Europe and she is actively helping me even though she is on an extended vacation there right now. She sent this email to me today: "I don't do this for the money, but for the people and relationships and the joy I get out of sending clients out to collect memories they hold for the rest of their lives. Sounds cheesy, but it's really true. :)" She loves her work and it shows in her enthusiasm. I highly recommend her!

Ellen has an incredible ability to tailor experiences, which makes each trip feel uniquely mine. She always finds the perfect balance by incorporating culinary, cultural, and art experiences that I love, along with athletic and outdoor activities that keep things active and engaging. It never feels one dimensional. I've used BT's services to book trips to Africa numerous times. Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Uganda are just a few examples.. Each destination has offered something completely unique, and Ellen has hit the itineraries right out of the park. Gorilla trekking in Uganda was a once in a lifetime experience, and visiting the Skeleton Coast in Namibia felt like stepping into another world. In Botswana, I was lucky enough to see leopards up close, which is so rare and exciting! I have also vacationed in Tahiti three times, and each time has been magical and different! Most recently, my husband and I just got back from an incredible trip to Rangiroa, and we are already talking about exploring more islands on our next visit. Looking ahead, I am starting to plan a trip to Japan, and I will definitely be working with Boutique Travel again to put together the itinerary. Their attention to detail, creativity, and ability to truly understand what we are looking for makes every trip seamless and unforgettable. Highly recommend!

With the Middle East war brewing out on 3/2/2026, the tour leader, Miko Xu ensures everyone that she will provide us with the latest arrangement for accommodation and transportation. However, on 3/4/2026, the tour leader, Miko Xu took only 11 tour members with her and left the remainder of 33 tour members in Dubai without informing them. Therefore, the 33 tour members were stranded in Dubai without any assistance from Miko Xu nor G-Top Travel to arrange the accommodation in Dubai and the transportation back home. Later, tour group members learned that Miko Xu, the tour leader returned to the United States while numerous tour members are still stranded in Dubai. As the result of the irresponsible tour leader, Miko Xu and G-Top Travel some tour members had to purchase the new airline ticket and/or to negotiate with airline using the existing airline ticket back home on their own. We understand that the warfare is an unusual circumstance; however, as paying customers, we expected that the tour leader and/or G-Top Travel will assist the tour members during this situation. We did not expect that the tour leader left us stranded in Dubai, and G-Top Travel did not take any action to resolve and mitigate this issue nor did not apologize their irresponsible action. Unfortunately, many of us who were left stranded in Dubai, are limited or non-English speakers and senior citizens. Coordinating the accommodation in Dubai and the transportation back home were very challenging to be handle by our own without the assistance from family back in the States. This post is shared to raise the awareness for other travelers who are planning to join G-Top Travel group to think twice before joining G-Top Travel group because G-Top Travel group and their tour leader are irresponsible and might left you behind.

I found China Travel Services and called to see if they would handle my case since I am going on a domestic trip and would need to have my passport mailed to me in another city. I went to their office, now located in Chinatown SF, and spoke to Apple. She was very understanding and understood my needs. I left my passport with her and she instructed me to contact her when the status changed to submit my passport. Three days later I got the message to submit my passport and immediately contacted Apple. She said they would submit and will mail it to me when returned. One week later it was in the mail and returned to me with a new Chinese visa. Very appreciate the help and would recommend this service.
