One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Awesome food, friendly people, incredible accommodations!! Savvy Journeys is fantastic.

And that she did!! . . and so far I'm loving my new agent. But Cindy is straight and to the point; can listen to your sitch and quickly determine if she can get you what you need and if not, where to send you! Thank you Cindy!

She did not over look one single detail. I expressed to her what we wanted to do and she helped me find the perfect tour and planned a dream trip for our family. Everything was planned so well. Every little detail was well covered and taken care of. Not one single complaint. The trip, the tours and all the accommodations exceeded all our expectations. I will forever be grateful to her for the attention to detail, the experience her knowledge and above all the genuine care Cindy Newman gave us. She definitely knows her craft and she's amazing at it. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Looking forward to our next trip and planning it with the help of Cindy.

Five full stars. We love love love our travel agent Aimee! Aimee has helped us plan multiple trips…read morenow that range from full-service where every last detail is thought of and planned to less managed trips where you just need hotels and a few tours and book everything else on your own and she shines in every way. On our full-service trips to Scandinavia and Japan, she took care of every detail from when we got off the plane with a private driver taking you to our first hotel, dinner reservations, private sushi classes, food tours, cultural heritage site tours, transfers between cities and hotels, to when we left our last hotel and go home (in style of course!). We have been privileged to have unique experiences such as riding a bike through Copenhagen with a private chef with a kitchen-bike, to learning how to make sushi with a sushi chef, to private city tours of Stockholm, Kayaking in the Lulea River in Sweden, taking a rigid inflatable speedboat to a Fjord in the Norwegian arctic circle, and touring the most beautiful temples and shrines of Japan with a private guide who can share details and educate you on the history and the culture that you could not find on your own. Travel agents make money when they book you things, but Aimee is never pushy with booking something every single day, and gives you time to decompress and discover on your own if you so choose. (If you want to do something planned every day you definitely can!) While our experiences are not the cheapest (The Four Seasons is always so expensive!) , our vacation time is limited, and we appreciate how we get a full experience of a city / country / culture and make the best use of that one resource that none of us have unlimited amounts of -- time. We also feel like even though the expense is high that we are getting decent value for our hard-earned money. We were with a different travel agency previously who we felt like did not provide as much value for our money and are happy we switched to Avant Garde. When a snag happens on a trip, like the plane delay that got us to Copenhagen 3.5 hours late last summer, Aimee or someone on her team from SD or Denmark jump into action and make sure that we reconnect with the trip and get back on track as soon as possible. We have declined some of her choices for hotels and had her book a hotel that we heard about or read about, and she has never given us any trouble or made us feel like she was pushing us to have to stay at any property that was more advantageous for her business. Her focus is to design a trip that YOU want to take, and we really, really feel like she is in our best interest all of the time. We've also booked less-managed trips with Aimee, where she helps us with hotels and maybe a couple of things in cities we understand and know. A memorable trip we took last year was when we went to Paris and Madrid to see Taylor Swift. We didn't want or need (or necessarily have the budget for) a full-service trip with action-packed private tours but she was happy to book our hotels, provide recommendations on what to do, and let us book other things on our own. From what I understand, Aimee has a team of professionals that work with her who help coordinate and plan and cater to many price points, but she specifically specializes in high-end travel with unique experiences. I love the fact that she always does a post-trip call (our previous high-end travel agent didn't do this) and wants to know what we loved (almost everything) and what can be improved (a few things) and feel like she really cares about your experience and uses the feedback to help us plan our next fabulous vacation and to avoid pitfalls that prior clients maybe have experienced. We are already dreaming of our next trip (with Aimee's help, of course!) and would highly recommend her for anybody who wants a customized, high-end experience (with prices to match!) that provide a good value for money spent.

We had so many "bucket List" things to see and do and she was able to fit all of them into the time we had. Jennifer found us 2 great boutique hotels to stay in in Paris before and after the Disneyland part of our trip. She also arranged the day tours to see the sites of Paris. I was so happy to discover she was also in my home town and I was able to meet her in person. She set me up with their Travel App and the What's App that made following the itinerary and communicating in Paris so easy. I will definitely ask her to help me with my next vacation. Jennifer P

Basically, we told Elizabeth where we wanted to go, for how long, and what we were willing to spend on the trip, and then we asked her to just "take care of it." From the plane tickets to airport transfers to hotels to train tickets to rental cars, she booked it all, booked it WELL, and booked it under budget! We could not have been happier with the experience. We stayed in six different cities, with six different hotels, and with each new hotel, we were amazed that we were able to afford such places. Elizabeth explained it's all because ProTravel has access to wholesale booking rates. Believe me, it's a deal. A lot of the hotels we stayed in posted the room's rate right on the back of the room's door. But when we checked out, the rates we actually paid for some of the rooms were close to 50% off the advertised rate. Elizabeth checked in with us (via email/text) throughout our trip just to make sure everything was going well. We actually needed to change up some of our plans on short notice, and despite the time change, she was very responsive, and she quickly accommodated our requested change. ProTravel really took all the hassle out of planning this overseas trip. There's no way I would have been able to book the same trip on my own for this same price. And because ProTravel took all the stress out of the planning, we were able to enjoy this trip of a lifetime. I can't wait to start planning our next adventure with ProTravel & Elizabeth!

We originally found this beautiful destination through Sol Y Mar Travel Agency, and trusting them again for this trip was the best decision. From the very beginning, everything felt easy and taken care of. Knowing they had all the details handled let us truly relax and enjoy every moment together. The resort is stunning, the staff is kind and welcoming, and the overall experience was unforgettable. If there was one small thing we would change from our recent trip, it would be choosing a different restaurant than Cuevas. The ambiance was beautiful, but the food selection just wasn't our family's personal preference. However, we explored the amenities within the second phase of the hotel, and they did not disappoint at all. We're so thankful for the care and attention that went into planning our trip, and we'll definitely continue booking with Sol Y Mar Travel Agency. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a smooth, memorable vacation.
