As a child of the internet age, a seasoned traveler, and master of internet searches the last thing…read moreI thought I needed in my life was a travel agent. When life got hectic, I had already been reading for years on travel blogs about the perks of having a travel agent, I thought it was time to give it a shot. I put down my backpacker-esque, 'I am not your typical tourist' pride and got in contact with Triple C. Mike came highly recommended from the Chinese community which made me hesitate at first because honestly, my Chinese sucks. I tested the waters by writing him an (English) email requesting an itinerary for an upcoming multi-country trip, detailing my numerous travel preferences in an anal fashion. To my astonishment, it was only minutes before a reply appeared in my inbox. Within the email was a spectacular itinerary to which I love dearly and could not have put together so well myself in such small amount of time. A few minutes later another email followed with a few concerns over how I wanted to fly in to one side of a country and leave from my specified airport that's on the the opposite end of the same said country. (I had plans to take the train across the country but forgot to mention it in my initial email) Fantastic attention to details. A quick check over kayak and a few other sites tell me Mike's prices couldn't be beat and I was sold then and there. When recently I emailed Mike regarding my woes with the difficulty I was having getting a Chinese visa he was quick to offer advice. Mike is always quick to respond to my traveling needs and questions; most of our email conversations can be concluded within minutes. I love that. Straight to the point and super friendly. Oh, my worries regarding the whole Chinese thing? Totally a non-issue. This whole experience makes me wish I had made buddies with a travel agent sooner!

During the Iceland Volcano, when the news said no flight for a month, Mike got us home in a few days!!!!! When the French are on strike, Mike did everything he could to help us and gave us extremely good advice on travel insurance. He responds immediately and gave me the exact information I needed when I was stressing out over the strike. His prices are also extremely reasonable. If i can give Mike 10 stars, I would. Mike, keep doing what you are doing and my your business grow! Thank you so very much for your help over the years!

Both of them drove in a safe and relaxed manner that got me to my destinations on time. Both cars were clean SUVs with complimentary water, lots of ports for charging your electronics, and thankfully they had exactly the sort of relaxing music that you need to clear your mind for your trip. Strongest recommendation.

As a first-time traveler with S&S, I had high expectations for what was described as an "upscale"…read moretour, especially given the company's strong reputation and the glowing feedback from other participants. Unfortunately, my experience did not live up to those expectations. Our tour director, was friendly and clearly tried her best, but she was not adequately prepared for the assignment. She had never been to Amsterdam or Brussels and had very little time to prepare. As a result, there were numerous logistical issues, and a noticeable lack of the professionalism and polish typically expected on a premium tour. It seemed clear that she would have benefited greatly from more mentoring and support before leading a group on her own. The local guides were a mixed experience. Our private guide in Amsterdam, was a standout! Unfortunately, the guides in Brussels and Ghent were far less effective. In Ghent, many people left the tour early as the guide was hard to understand and the content itself felt disorganized and uninspired. Accommodations also fell short of expectations. At our hotel in Amsterdam, guests were responsible for transporting their own luggage-- up and down stairs- a surprising inconvenience for what was billed as a higher-end tour. More troubling was what happened when my travel companion received the devastating news that her brother had passed away. In the chaos of departing our hotel and her receiving the news, her luggage was left behind in the hotel lobby. Rather than the company stepping in to help manage the situation, the responsibility of recovering the luggage fell entirely on us. I spent several hours coordinating with the hotel, DHL, UPS, and our next hotel in Bruges. Eventually, we resolved the issue with no help from Sights and Soul and no compensation for the $700-fee it cost even though the company said procedure was not followed by the tour guide. This was not the level of care or support I would expect from a company of S&S's standing. I was initially hesitant to post this review, especially since others on the trip said this was not typical of their past experiences with S&S. However, I decided to share this feedback and let you make an informed decision when choosing something as important as a reliable and reputable tour company.

MESK was able to ge my document authenticated by the Saudi Consulate and US State Department and sent it off Fedex express to Saudi Arabia and made the deadline just in time no problem!
