Silver Star Travel, while I'm sure they'll send you on a great vacation, (who doesn't like going on vacation?) will absolutely refuse to share any detail about your experience before hand. I had a terrible experience with one Dawn Brandon. I thrive on details. I want to know what I'm spending my money on. When I receive an itinerary with nothing more than a grand total, I'm inclined to ask questions. I imagine most people would. Ask about a place? They'll send you an itinerary. When you ask about the itinerary, they send you another itinerary. When you ask very specific questions about what it is you're looking at in the itinerary, surprise! They'll send you another itinerary. I was fortunate enough to be paying enough attention, as we almost got sent to the wrong resort, for no other reason than the agent having poor reading comprehension and I suspect a bit of a problem reading and speaking in full sentences. Once we got the right resort in the itinerary, and then after four more attempts, the right room type in the itinerary (she didn't know what rooms the resort had, nor did she know anything about them, nor what the resort included, or the variation in price between the different rooms, something she could have researched in 15 minutes to help us find the right one - I had thought that's what travel agents do), we compared her exact trip to places like Expedia, Costco Travel, Hotwire, Tripadvisor, even just booking myself through the airline and through the resort itself. Every one of these places beat their price, and every one of them knew that the resort was actually going through construction at the moment, and that the room we had chosen would be within earshot of some construction noises. Something a trained travel agent shouldn't have had a problem with, unless they're just more interested in you biting onto the carrot they're dangling. They'll trick you into thinking that they've price checked. They haven't. They'll trick you by telling you things about the resort that are incorrect, or that don't exist. I probably shouldn't have compared her to a fast food worker unceremoniously shoveling french fries into a cardboard container. Sorry about that. I would have spent twice as much money if I'd have known what I was getting. The details are all I wanted. If you're a boomer, or moderately wealthy, or perhaps just only slightly ignorant, and willing to hand over a chunk of your money without actually knowing what you're spending it on, I'm sure you'll enjoy handing your money over to Silver Star. I'm sure they'll enjoy taking it too. After all, who doesn't like going on vacation? Who wants to wonder about what you could have actually had once the money trades hands? Happy to share the contents of my discourse with Dawn if anyone is interested. The story will speak for itself.

Tim was amazing from start to finish. He helped me plan my honeymoon, (5 day cruise to Mexico)…read morewhile also dealing with all the wedding planning. He made life as easy as possible. Whenever I had a question, he had a response within 24 hours that always included some kind of information above and beyond what I had asked. My favorite part about Tim's help was keeping us up to date as soon as he found out information. Our trip was scheduled during the time of Hurricane Florence and we had to grab a connecting flight through Atlanta. Unsure what the weather was going to do, he kept us posted via email what the airlines were planning to do. Not only that, but he already had a backup plan in case we got stuck in Atlanta for the evening. If you have a simple trip, complex trip, or even just want to make sure it goes off without a hitch, Tim will take good care of you.

And of course her suggestions were wonderful, we wished that we could've extended our trip out longer so we could do everything she suggested. She spent time revising and offering alternatives if were were totally set on a plan, which I really appreciated! :). She was very knowledgeable about international travel which put my mind at ease, since I am an anxious traveler. I will definitely be coming back to Sami for my other big trips in the future!

Well Joyce, My wife and I can't thank you enough for setting…read moreup and coordinating our trip. Everything went so incredibly smoothly. Starting from being picked up from the airport, to being shuttled to each guided tour to the Ayodya resort (which this amazing place is a whole other story in itself) to the same amazing service we received in Singapore by buffalo tours. (Fyi and ill say this again and again. The Furuma hotel you put us in is in a PRIME PRIME location of downtown Singapore, everything we needed was basically at our doorstep) In short, we had the perfect trip we hoped for. We even made a friend who was one of our tour guides in Bali, and Singapore is a melting pot of cultural amazement. This country stole my heart. Should your client's want to visit either of these places please tell them what ive just said. It was a flawless trip and we can not thank you enough. I can go on and on and on about our trip but I wont lol thank you thank you Joyce. I will be swinging by your office this week to thank you in person. I know it's not necessary but I insist. Sincerely Eric & Jennifer

That's 20+ years of catalogs. Notice the good reviews here on Yelp are from before the pandemic. I tried last year to reach Joyce at the email address given in the catalogs. How can anyone run a business and never answer the phone or return calls? The phone number given in the catalogs is: 503-655-4850. Stay away from this "business", please.

She booked our cruise, suggested the travel insurance, found us a place to park the car in Seattle for the week since we were just traveling up from Oregon. Knowing that we were first-timers for cruising she said that the laid back cruising would fit us better on Norwegian. She was so right. I appreciate all of the communication with her and highly recommend Dateline International Travel and Merilyn.

Owner/tour guide Tony Cisneros is truly a WWII walking encylopedia. He brought all the facts, details and stories to life while assuring we saw all the important sites and other lesser known sites we wouldn't have seen on any other tour. All the hotels were amazing and included an 18th century chateau. Post covid we could no longer get in the castle but stayed in a wonderful Romatik hotel on Mosel river which was my favorite of the tour. Service and attention to our every need and detail were top of the line. I will definitely book another tour with Alpventures and highly recommend without any reservations.

I was on the Normandy to the Eagle's Nest tour in May 2023. It was, without a doubt, one of the…read morebest travel experiences I have ever had. The owner, Tony Cisneros, was our tour guide and could not have done more to ensure that we had a fantastic trip. The hotels used by Alpventures are amazing, and on our trip included an 18th century French chateau and a castle on the Rhine River in Germany. The food provided by Alpventures - typically breakfast and dinner - was very good and included several special meals we enjoyed together as a group. But what makes this company special is the high level of service and detail provided to every guest. I hope to travel with Alpventures again, and offer them my highest recommendation. -Tim W., Los Angeles, CA
