So, I reached out to MK Luxury Travel to help me plan and execute a surprise trip for the both of us. I can describe the entire experience of working with Kiera Delesk the BEST EVER!! The entire experience of working with Kiera was FANTASTIC. She not only provided me with great recommendations, but she also professionally handled every detail; flights, accommodations, private transfers, dinner reservations, and the BEST adventures we could have asked for!! We will continue to trust Kiera and MK Luxury Travel in the future. Thank you all so much!!!!

She started by asking a lot of great questions about what we wanted to see, locations, hotel preferences, cruise ships, etc. It felt like an interview, and that's a huge compliment! Too often agencies just try to sell you a bundled trip with not enough attention to the details that make it special. Sara came back with a wonderful plan, covering everything we wanted to see and do, and after a few minor tweaks we had the perfect trip planned. I can't recommend Sara enough - she is personable, professional and FUN to work with. I highly recommend this agency when you want the very best in a personalized travel experience.

Pilgrimage to Italy/France (October 6-18), 2025…read more The customer service/account representative I dealt with felt impersonal and not very friendly. I hesitated to ask questions because their manner wasn't very welcoming -- it almost felt like I wasn't really treated as a customer. The trip itself was action-packed -- as expected, there was a lot of walking. Since this was my first pilgrimage, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. While it was enriching to visit so many sacred sites, I didn't feel I had enough quiet moments to truly pray or reflect. I don't place that entirely on 206 Tours; October was close to the end of the Jubilee year, so there was a big influx of pilgrims from different countries. With that many people, it's understandable that things felt a bit rushed. We also changed tour guides three times, which may have led to some miscommunication and a lack of consistency throughout the trip. It would've been nice to have one steady guide to provide continuity and spiritual leadership. We stayed in four different hotels. The first one was fabulous, but the quality went downhill after that. At the second hotel, I was placed in an accessible room with a bathroom that was uncomfortably high, and since I shared a room, we were only given one key, which was inconvenient. The third hotel was extremely small -- really cramped -- though the fourth one was much better. Overall, I'm grateful for the experience and the opportunity to visit so many sacred places. I just think 206 could improve on personal connection, communication, and hotel consistency to help pilgrims feel more cared for and comfortable throughout the journey. But I think what affected me most was the customer service experience at the beginning. It set the tone, and I wish it had felt a bit more welcoming.

In one word: Avoid!…read more I have a big birthday coming up, and am in the early stages of planning a trip to Mexico with my girlfriends to celebrate. But knowing little about Mexico, and feeling not at all like putting work into planning this trip myself, I decided to splurge on a travel agent to do the work for me. I stumbled upon Destinations & Adventures (Los Angeles branch) randomly on Yelp. Since it was highly rated, I decided to give them a shot. But when I called the Los Angeles branch to ask for Jim Berkeley, who was highly recommended on Yelp, I was told he was out of the country leading a trip. Instead of Jim, I got a call back only from a random woman working at the Nashville, Tennessee branch of this chain: Arlene Santos, with the high-falutin' title "Director of Client Services"). This, despite having specified that I'd be willing to wait for Jim to call back once he'd returned. Arlene and I chatted. I explained what I was looking for, and she offered to assist with a distinct lack of enthusiasm. (I think she may have even said something like, "that's a bit of a difficult one.") Now, I know what you're thinking: Why bother with a travel agent who isn't enthused about helping me? I guess I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, sometimes to my detriment. But then, the first red flag: Arlene later e-mailed me that she'd have me an initial quote and some package ideas by a certain date. But that date came and went, and no quote. When I followed up with her several days later, Arlene promised a quote "by the end of the day" - but then, she only sent the names of two hotels, without any pricing or explanation (with pricing to follow later). When I finally got pricing 1.5 weeks after Arlene and I had first spoken, the pricing didn't include anything but just hotel rates (which I could have looked up myself on Expedia). No explanation of how or why she chose those two options, and she said activities weren't included. Also, I'd specifically asked her for daily pricing, since not everyone in my party would be staying for the full trip duration.... but her pricing was weekly, not daily. Amusingly, Arlene's e-mail had added tersely: "Kindly advise which one you are interested in," as if there were absolutely no room for discussion on the matter. It was these two random hotels or nothing. It was clearly time to cut bait. I responded that I thought there was a disconnect, and added: "As it took you 9 days to provide pricing for two hotels, I'm wondering whether you may be too busy to assist me? If so, I'd rather not waste your time, and instead I'll move on to another travel agent. Please let me know." Arlene's frosty response: "Sorry for not being much help. I believe it will be best for you to work with someone else." This "Director of Client Services" should be locked away in an office and never be permitted to assist clients again. Just saying. Buyer beware!

I worked with Ta-Tanisha to plan a milestone birthday trip that took me and my partner to Egypt,…read moreand then she arranged my travel on to South Africa so I could meet up with friends and continue my journey. This was both a bucket list trip and a major celebration, and she made the entire process easy and seamless. From start to finish, her communication was top tier. Every detail in Egypt was handled, including flights, transportation, hotels, and excursions, so all we had to do was show up and enjoy. We had VIP-style treatment throughout: drivers waiting for us, support through customs and security, and concierge-level services that removed all the stress that usually comes with travel. That alone was worth it. The hotels she chose were excellent, and the excursions lined up beautifully with our goals for the trip. I checked off so many bucket list experiences: standing before the Pyramids and the Sphinx, seeing King Tut's treasures, watching the sunrise over Luxor from a hot air balloon, sleeping by the Nile, and even doing a flying dress photo shoot at Giza. Every guide, driver, and on-the-ground partner she connected us with was professional, knowledgeable, and made the trip even more special. She also anticipated the little things that made a big difference. Since we had an evening flight leaving Luxor, she arranged for a later checkout, and the hotel was so accommodating that they even offered us an extended stay option for a very reasonable price. That allowed us to relax at the hotel, spend time by the pool, and unwind before my partner flew back to the U.S. and I continued on to South Africa. What stood out most was how attentive she was at every stage. She checked in on us before we left, while we were in travel, when we arrived, during the trip, and even after we got home. She also made sure all the vendors she worked with took care of us and lived up to the same standard of service. I honestly could not have planned a trip like this on my own without pouring in a huge amount of time and energy I did not want to spend. With Ta-Tanisha, everything just flowed. I recommend her to anyone even considering travel, because she does not just plan trips, she delivers unforgettable experiences.
