Review Update: While…read moremost trips go smoothly it's only takes that one time where things can go sideways quickly. That's when you need a competent travel agent in your corner. Especially during these uncertain times. This was the case last December on a trip to St Vincent's in the Grenadines. A call to Jen Evans at Aura Travel and the situation was brought immediately under control. Without her intervention, our trip would have been ruined. if you are looking for an exceptional travel experience-look no further. Been booking online with Aura Travel for well over 25 years. Initially, I was reticent to book with an online travel agency. I needn't have been. Jen Evans and her extraordinary team were readily available to meet all my travel needs. Although we've never met in person and don't reside in the same state, she's become like family. I frequently travel to destinations all over the world. I wouldn't think of booking with any other agency. Whenever I've encountered any issues, I know resolution is only a call away. For when you book with Aura you have peace of mind. And that, my fellow travelers is priceless.

A couple of years ago, I booked a trip to Hawaii with Deb from Aura Travel, and it was such a…read moreflawless experience that I didn't think twice about coming back to her to plan my recent cruise. Once again, she absolutely delivered! Deb is truly exceptional at what she does. She takes the time to understand what you want out of your vacation, and then goes above and beyond to make it happen. Every detail of both trips--from flights and hotels to excursions--was carefully thought out, and everything went off without a hitch. Deb is a huge asset to Aura Travel, and I'll continue to recommend her to anyone looking for expert guidance and top-tier service. I'm already looking forward to working with her again on the next adventure!

Julia & her Team at Ambassador Travel are Amazing!…read more She is so knowledgeable! I've worked with her on multiple projects to provide affordable Honeymoon Travel packages to my friends & family members over the past 2 years when a group of us meet to discuss StL's Wedding Sphere's Customer Market. Every week she has a new special that she presents at the Belleville BNI Networking Breakfast held at Bellcourt Manor on North Street in downtown Belleville, IL. Julia is currently working on an Ireland Trip Package for my wife & I to Celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary. Planning on surprising my wife with the Final Game Plan, St Patrick's Day!

We had to ask her about baggage fees, which we paid her ahead of our trip, only to be charged for them yet again at the airport! We ultimately learned the hard way, that any changes or upgrades you make after your initial appointment at Ambassador with Apple Vacations, never gets communicated to where it needs to be, and you pay the price.... literally! Worst of all, it took six weeks to get our refund

The Paris Trip of Our Dreams--Thanks to Riya at Next Horizon!…read more I cannot say enough good things about Riya and Next Horizon! My two girlfriends and I found last-minute tickets to the Eras Tour in Paris (!!!), but between full-time jobs and family responsibilities, we had zero time to plan the rest of the trip. Enter Riya--our travel fairy godmother. From the moment we landed, everything was seamless. A private driver greeted us at the airport with a personalized sign--a small but thoughtful touch that made us feel like VIPs. Riya had every detail covered, from mapping out the best Eiffel Tower photo spots to sending us to the most incredible pastry shops (Mamiche and Du Pain des Idées--chef's kiss). The night of the Taylor Swift concert was pure magic, and thanks to Riya, we had everything we needed to enjoy it stress-free. She even planned the perfect send-off: dinner at Chez Paul followed by a sunset Seine River cruise, complete with champagne and macarons. It was the dreamiest way to end our trip. Every detail was thoughtful, personal, and perfectly timed. Riya didn't just plan a trip--she created one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. If you're looking for someone who can turn chaos into curated magic, Next Horizon is it. Merci, Riya!

We absolutely loved the hotel selection and the tours we went on. While in Geneva, we crossed the Switzerland-France border and visited one of the most famous villages in the French Alps. On this half-day trip from Geneva to Chamonix and Mont Blanc, we enjoyed the majestic scenery as we journeyed through the mountains and rode the cable car to Aiguille du Midi for the most unimaginable and breathtaking views of Mont Blanc and the surrounding Alps. Our next vacation location was to Paris, France where Personalized Services International Travel Agency arranged for Judy and me to have a romantic dinner at the Elegant LeJule Verne Grande, a spectacular 5-Star Restaurant located on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower. The detailed planning of our vacation by the Personalized Services International Travel Agency staff was nothing short of excellent. We truly enjoyed our vacation from start to finish, and only wish that we could have stayed longer. The superb customer service and attention to detail during the planning process was the key factor for the wonderful vacation we had. I will use their travel planning services in the future, and I have no problem referring them to all of my family, friends and associates. Thank you very much "Doc" Deon Huff and staff!

We were originally scheduled for Puerto Vallarta and then the issues at the airport happened there. My parents, 1st time out of the country, refused to continue on with that trip.
