For each of the past 3 years, we have taken one of my siblings, along with their extended families, on nice vacations. First trip was 19 of us. Second trip was 14 people. And the third trip was 15! The most recent trip was June 2026, when we took a wonderful 10-day Mediterranean cruise, We hosted my brother, his kids, grandkids , and in-laws for all major expenses -- air fares both ways, hotels at both embarkation and disembarkation cities (Barcelona and Lisbon), transfers, and the cruise itself. Family members live in various locations in Colorado and California. We needed to make sure everyone had up-to-date passports, got to the airport, got on the right flights, checked into the hotels. Etc, etc. This trip required a huge amount of planning and critical details that could have easily gone "sideways." David helped everyone and me every step of the way, from ideation to getting everyone home! He is highly skilled. Very patient. The planning was flawless. Thanks, David! read more

David planned a very special trip to Maui, Hawaii for my family and it couldn't have been more perfect. Everyone was so happy with our hotel, the area he chose for us was so perfect, we had everything we wanted nearby, he knew the area so well and he put us in a special part of the hotel with great extras! He had many calls with me to ensure he knew what I wanted, he is so very patient and pleasant to work with. And he came in under my budget! We truly loved the time and will most definitely plan another trip to Hawaii with David. Highly recommend! read more

We just returned from a group trip to Colorado to experience an 8 day train trip tour. We have always wanted to ride several of the available railway trips including Durango to Silverton, Pikes Peak Cog railway and the Royal Gorge train. David booked the trip and all the details for us. He was very quick and efficient. Also responsive to several questions at different times. Everything was handled professionally and courteously! We would highly recommend Holt travel for all your needs! read more

How easy it was!! We booked a trip to Morocco (14 days) and Portugal (10 days) with David Holt. The tour group he suggested was fantastic. The Hotel in Portugal was perfect and near our relative we were visiting. Both beautiful countries. I wish I could add pictures but am handicapped in that area. read more

David was very helpful. Responded well to phone calls. Helped out when a train strike happened. Daniel our driver was fantastic.

We recently took a 14-day trip to Italy, starting in Milan (northern Italy and ended in the Sorrento (southern Italy). David helped us with booking tours, hotels, flights, trains and car rentals. We had 6 different hotels, 5 trains and a car rental, all went smoothly. His choices in accommodations were perfect; I just gave him an idea of our preference "like a Hilton" and he didn't disappoint. I really appreciated our meet in person to go over the details of our trip, as we were new to traveling abroad. We were able to ask questions and get helpful hints. I would highly recommend using Holt Travel Agency, they help make your dream trip come true. read more

This was my 1st trip out of the country, decided on Italy, and David did not disappoint. Our entire trip went smoothly. David booked the tours I wanted to do, booked this special hotel on Lake de Braies, booked our River Rafting on the Noce River etc etc. All of our hotels were great and centrally located for our tours in Venice and Rome and the hospitality was amazing at them all. All of our transfers (train, hotel pick-ups, airport) were amazing and on time as well. We were treated like royalty without that royalty price. We will certainly be using David again for our next trip. The hardest part will be deciding where to next! Thanks for everything David. read more

David helped my sister and I plan our dream trip to Ireland. I cannot say enough good things about Holt Travel. David helped us plan the trip and then took care of every detail. He took care of flights, hotels, tours and train tickets. He arranged transportation between cities (we visited 4 cities over a 2 week period) which made it so easy and stress-free. One of our favorite experiences was visiting the Irish Stud Farm and Japanese Gardens. None of the travel books we looked at even mentioned it - if it hadn't been for David's recommendation we would have missed out on this amazing place. David's knowledge, experience and attention to detail were exceptional. He was a pleasure to work with and was so accommodating in responding to all of our requests. I am looking forward to working with him again when planning my next trip. read more

David was recommended by several friends, as we discussed planning our trip to Greece. I reached out to him and told him when we wanted to go and which islands we wanted to visit. He got back to me quickly with a beautiful itinerary, including all of the places we wanted to go along with a few additional recommendations. We went ahead and booked with him. Our trip was absolutely AMAZING! He had planned everything, drivers were waiting for us at every port/airport, hotels were fabulous and he included several tours that we wanted to do. I Highly recommended contacting Holt Travel Agency and allowing David to plan your next incredible trip! read more

David Holt is super! When we met with him at his office, we found him to be extremely knowledgeable about the kind of trip we were looking for. He was so kind and nice, and gave us all the time necessary for the arrangements to be made. Our River Rhine Cruise with AmaWaterways was wonderful. We spent several days before the cruise in Amsterdam, and several days in Switzerland following the cruise. Our hotels were lovely, and the small ship was delightful. We're so glad we found Holt Travel! read more

David helped my partner and I plan an amazing 3 week adventure to the Swiss Alps and Italian Dolomites that will never be forgotten!

Our family had the privilege of working with Holt Travel in scheduling our 8 night cruise out of Galveston, Texas. As we were selecting our travel itinerary, David presented us with relevant options so that we could pick the cruise, the ship, and flights that worked best for our family of 6. Post-booking, David was available to answer questions and super-responsive, particularly as we faced challenges on our departure (flight) day where the entire world was impacted by the global Microsoft outage. Everything was organized and it took all the stress and anxiety out of travelling with a large family. I highly recommend Holt Travel and look forward to working with David again in planning our next adventure. read more

David Holt is our hero! He helped us book the trip of a lifetime to Bora Bora, Tahiti with only a month in advance! Thanks to his expertise and suggestions we had the perfect mix of relaxation, activities and romance.

About a year ago, my wife and I took my sister and her family (19 of us) on a 12-day Mediterranean cruise. The trip obviously had a lot of "moving pieces" but worked out perfectly for all age groups and all the various interest and activity levels, thanks to David Holt's expert guidance and knowledge. This was such a satisfying experience that we decided to take ANOTHER sister and HER family on a nice vacation. After a few delays and much discussion (helped along by experienced input from David) Sister #2 and her family decided to go to Fiji, so she could hang out in the tropics, sit on the beach, and maybe do some snorkeling. There were 13 of us on this trip and we had a truly wonderful week-long vacation. Fiji is a beautiful place to begin with, and David picked out what may be perhaps the nicest resort in Fiji (Nanuku). The people were so-o-o friendly and accommodating. It was so memorable to spend such quality time with my sister and her family -- so much fun! And also, my daughter, her finance, and I were able to take scuba classes, get certified, and do a shark dive! With so many people you never know for sure if everything will work out as you hope, but in this case, this trip hit all the buttons. Thank you, thank you, David Holt!! read more

David planned the most wonderful Honeymoon for my husband and I to Italy. His plans were thorough and he was able to make our dreams come true. When we had issues with a third party travel agency, David was ready to help us get our money back and quickly guided us through the process.

David Holt has helped me with travel for about 40+ years. You have to be very good to keep my loyalty that long. I have traveled often and been around the world twice in boats, planes and trains. The few times I have used another travel agent it has always cost me mentally and physically. Let David handle the details and you will benefit from his detail, experience and knowledge. read more

David has helped me organize several trips and the level of service he provides is so very much appreciated. Sure you can spend hours on the internet piecing together all of the components of your trip by yourself but David's customer service doesn't end with the sale. He keeps track of and alerts you to any changes made by the airlines and when Covid hit, he took care of all of the details for getting me my refunds. I can recommend David Holt and Holt Travel for all your travel needs. read more

I was planning a trip to Maui with my wife, but at the last minute we decided to invite our son and his girlfriend as well. That created some problems with where to stay. We wanted very much to hang around together, but we also wanted to give them some privacy too, and based on a recommendation from a colleague at work, we contacted David Holt. A brilliant choice, as it turned out. He got us into a condo complex on Kaanapali Beach that gave each couple a spacious bedroom and well-appointed bathroom, as well as a large living room and fully stocked kitchen. We had everything, and did I mention the ocean view? David also booked us a helicopter trip and rental car and got us into a great luau on the beach that had appeared sold out for weeks when I tried to book it myself. A great experience all the way around. read more

My husband and I chose David Holt to take care of all the travel details for our first trip ever to Italy, as he has always done such a great job for us and our family with many other travel arrangements over the last 15 years. We had an such an amazing 14 days! Every detail of our itinerary was arranged and booked perfectly, from flights (with best recommendations), airport transfers, room accommodations (free breakfast at all of the hotels-highly recommend), tours and excursions. We even got in a visit to London on our way back home. We just can't say enough about the wonderful time we had, and can't wait to go back! If you're wanting to travel anywhere, I'd highly recommend letting Holt Travel & Tours put your mind at ease and take care of all the details! read more

We contacted David to help with flights and travel insurance prior to the COVID outbreak. Once the news hit and travel became an issue, we needed more support to navigate around the situation.

Great customer service, responsive and professional travel agent. read more

My wife and I have been using David with Holt Travel for over twenty years when we celebrated our honeymoon and our son went to Washington DC with his Jr. High. Since then we have taken family vacations to Costa Rica, Washington DC, Hawaii, and now we are planning our first European Cruise Vacation. David has been able to save us money on each trip, including the next one to Turkey, France, Spain & Greece! He has also been to all of these places and has so many tips on what we should see and do. He knows our preferences for adventure and getting away from the crowds or not being stuck with the senior citizens on a tour bus. I highly recommend using Holt Travel & Tours to book your next getaway, whether It's just a weekend getaway or a once in a lifetime trip to an exotic location. You will be in good hands from the initial planning stages, during your trip, and even when you get back home! Thanks for making our trips the best that they can be - we will always use your services! read more

I needed to book a round trip airline ticket for my step daughter to come to the US, and I stupidly used Travelocity. After spending a total of more than 2 hours on their website, and in two aggravating and long conversations with Travelocity trip advisors, they could not issue my tickets due to "technical reasons" and refunded me. I waited a day, then called David at Holt Travel. Problem solved, and my step daughter now has great tickets in hand. Thanks, David, you're a lifesaver!!! read more
