    If you read nothing else I write, read this. Hiring a travel agent is FREE! No scams or gimmicks or…read moreupgrades. Why wouldn't you at the very least call and speak to one. Having a travel agent isn't just a luxury. It's the smartest thing you can do for yourself and your trip. My personal experience: Skip helped us put together a FABULOUS dream vacation to Italy for our 10 year anniversary. From the first phone call to start planning to the day we got home everything went smoothly. He was always quick to respond, personal and worked with the budget we gave him. I'm a wedding and event planner so I'm a very detailed person and used to planning our small family trips but there are so many things to consider for your first international flight. Getting our passports, knowing which airports to fly in and out of, how long of a layover is enough time, how to travel between cities, setting up tours in a city where you don't speak the language, what to do when you're there. Skip sat down with us before we left to go over our itinerary and each activity along the way. Could I have planned this trip by myself? Maybe. But knowing the ins and outs of traveling is what he is an expert in and he can save you time and so much stress along the way. For example: Passports: We were going to just go to the post office to get our passport. When I told Skip our plan he stopped me and suggested a few passport services. As he pointed out, the post office is a government agency. Enough said. They can move slow. They can lose mail. Maybe it's not common but do you really want to take the chance of a single delay and you missing your trip? We took our applications to one of the recommended offices and they immediately caught an error on our form. Had we taken it to the post office, they would have never noticed the error and our application would have been returned and delayed getting our passport. Traveling: When I questioned the long layover there and back Skip advised me that I would need the time to get through customs. Boy was he right! We were never rushed but had it been up to me and I had moved the flights to what I thought were best, we would have missed our flights. Experienced travel agents know what to expect, are familiar with different airports and airlines. Have you ever booked a flight or hotel with an online discount company only to have an issue arise? You are at the mercy of someone on the other end of the line after waiting to get through to customer service and that doesn't guarantee the issue is resolved. $$$ and time wasted. Once we were in Italy, Skip had arranged for concierge services from the moment we grabbed our luggage. We had private drivers and even a private boat that took us from the airport to our hotel. No waiting in line for taxis. No fumbling for directions. We were treated like VIPs from the minute we touched down in Italy until we left. Skip arranged for private tours for the sights we most wanted to see. We avoided lines that wrapped around the block just to get in and were escorted through each area with an informative tour guide. Made the experience so much nicer and allowed us to have the rest of the day to do what we wanted. We visited three cities in total and used the train to travel between them. Skip had an agent waiting for us at the hotel each time who not only got us to the train station but also walked us through the station to our seat so we knew exactly what to do and how to travel. Then when we got off the train our driver was waiting for us to take us to the next hotel. Could you figure it out on your own? Possibly. But again, why have that added stress if you don't speak the language or understand what to do. While on one of our train rides, we watched a young girl get on only to later argue with the conductor, cry and ultimately have to move because of an issue with her ticket. Misunderstandings happen. But a travel agent knows how to guide you through all of that. Our second stop could have been a disaster when we got out of our car and went to check-in to the hotel. Only after having been there for about 5 minutes we realized we had left a bag in the car that had just dropped us off. The bag had all our electronics and most importantly, our passports. I calmly reached into the suitcase and pulled out the 2nd copy of our itinerary Skip had put together for us before we left. I called the number for the car service and within minutes they returned with our bag untouched. That small lapse in judgment could have been a nightmare had we taken a city taxi. We saw some of the most amazing pieces of history, immersed ourselves in the culture, ate some of the best foods and had such a relaxing experience the whole time. Truly it was a dream vacation and one we will never forget and we have Skip to think for that. I have no reservations in recommending him to my clients and brides and using him for every trip in the future!

    I first reached out to Skip to plan our honeymoon in 2018. I had never used a travel adviser before…read morebut I was worn out with planning a wedding so I left it in the hands of Skip- & it would't have it any other way. He is easy and accommodating to work with regarding travel. My Honeymoon had adventure and luxury as we had explained we wanted. We did Amsterdam, Rome, and Santorini. All locations had travel, car services (seriously amazing) and activities planned for us. The great thing is that when you see something you want changed- he does it in a heartbeat and keeps constant communication with you when/if there are any changes. We came back with lots of great experiences, & all within budget. Fast Forward to this year, we were in the midst of planning a second vacation across the pond and I didn't even think twice about it- I knew who I would call- Skip, Yet another great vacation- this time we simply wanted luxury and relaxation and that is what we got in the Almafi Coast + Mykonos. He planned it just right- as expected :)

    What a trip! From first contact, Kimberly personally tailored our week in the Texas Hill Country to…read moreour likes (and dislikes). After a Zoom call with her, Kimberly got to work planning a week of winery tours, historic hotel stays, and must-not-miss tourist attractions. I admit: I am not a person who uses travel agents on a regular basis, but when I learned that she lives in the area, I trusted her to plan our trip. We stayed in contact for months, going back & forth on email & text about preferences in the recommended numerous stops along the way, and when all was said & done, we had the trip of a lifetime planned. In the end, our stay in the Hill Country exceeded even the highest of expectations. A couple things to note, that were very much appreciated: 1) The personalization she put into the planning process. Kimberly asked our musical tastes, our food preferences, hotel preferences, etc. We stayed in boutique hotels, mostly, and Kimberly was very helpful in picking locations she felt we would like; she nailed it. 2) Her local knowledge. Kimberly hooked us up with a driver for a day of vineyard / winery tours - someone she has used before. Michael was an outstanding guide for us, and provided some of his own local-knowledge about good places to go and things to see that we otherwise may not have known about. He even stated that Kimberly had contacted him the morning of our tours to make sure everything was lined-up. How's that for service? If you are considering using an agent to plan a personalized trip, I highly recommend Kimberly at Travel Two Luxury. I am certainly going to recommend her to friends. Her personalization and attention-to-detail are extraordinarily appreciated and beyond compare!

    Carly Garrett is without a doubt the BEST travel agent that we have ever worked with…read more Carly consistently somehow finds deals for us that we have never found either on our own or via other travel agents, with substantial discounts. She also is incredibly detail-orientated and is always thinking ahead to ensure that our travels go as smoothly as possible. We recently had a substantial delay when flying into Budapest, arriving at 3AM and were so pleasantly surprised when landing to see that Carly had been monitoring our flights, realized that the plane was coming in so late and arranged private travel to the hotel. She goes above & beyond in taking care of our family during all of our adventures and honestly we cannot recommend her enough!!
