Arranging a tour or cruise can be confusing and difficult, especially with so many competitors all…read moremaking similar claims. We chose Expedia to travel to Europe this year. We ended up picking a Princess Cruise and related land tours. Dave Branson is our consultant and he took it upon himself to arrange the cruise and our land tours and flights. He did a superlative job. One can only hope that a cruise meets the expectations that the advertisements often pique. In our case, Princess came up short, being that the ship seemed to be out of date in terms of decor and amenities. Food was also inconsistent. The tour advisor cannot be blamed for the failings of the cruise line. Without Dave Branson our experience would have been far different, and probably much less enjoyable.

You can't beat Expedia in Laguna Hills. I love a cruise…read moreship, the luxury, the service, the engineering marvel, the ocean, the food the entertainment. I've been many times for over 25 years and booked direct and with travel agents. Direct is ok for something simple, you know the cruise line maybe and maybe repeating a trip...say Carnival for the Christmas weekend to Ensenada...but my experience is that the pricing is the same whether buying direct from the line or buying with a travel agent. The travel agent gets a small commission from the line, obviously but they are buying at a discount so the pricing is consistent whether buying from the travel agent or going direct. But what you get FOR FREE from the travel agent is often invaluable in the form of advice about a particular line, the cruise, the ports, where on the ship you want you state room and a dozen other question that these experts to provide. The team at Expedia Laguna Hills is great at this. Old school customer service, actually answering the phone personally and helping you RIGHT NOW, not a website, not endlessly clicking for answers you can't find, real answers when you need them. Dave, Chris and others are responsive, knowledgeable, experienced and very easy to understand, very hard to find in our modern world and so great to have them right here in Orange County.

When i started planning the trip, I knew for sure that I wanted someone to develop a wonderful trip with our input for a dream itinerary and to make this as hassle free for my wife and I. Milica delivered 1000%! It was the best organized vacation ever and everything went smoothly and we saved a ton of wasted time using Milica. I can't say enough about Milica! If you want a great trip start in Rome, then to Florence, day trip to Cinque Terre, then to Milan, day trip to Lake Como and finish in Venice! Gonna have Milica start on next year adventure in Europe!

"Honeymoon is the last thing couples think about, but is the one that goes up in price every day"…read more I cannot tell you enough how happy I was to have booked my trip through Head Over Heels. Dan was so amazingly helpful and now I truly understand why everyone books him for Honeymoons and all trips. At first, I was really overwhelmed, didn't know where I wanted to go, and didn't know how much to budget. Plus there's a million hotels, how can you tell which one is legit...I don't have time to read every single review! All I did was answer a few questions for Dan and he really helped narrow down the choices. PRICE: I know this is cheesy but after my trip was booked, I looked up the exact same hotel with the same dates - IT WAS THE SAME PRICE as Expedia/Travelocity, actually a little cheaper than them. But it felt good to know I wasn't just a number like I would have been to those other sites. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Every time I had a question, I was able to email Dan directly and get quick response. I really trust his expertise advice. He even sent me a preparation type package of what to do and what not to do, depending on where you book your trip. We went to Cabo and he advised us to avoid the timeshare people in certain sections. They were so tricky and I really would have fell for it if Dan didn't tell us about it. The list had things like what to bring, not to bring, how to keep your house safe while traveling, etc. BONUS: He surprised us with a LIMO TO THE AIRPORT! It was so nice of him to hook us up with a limo to really start off the trip right! Thank goodness too because after crazy planning, we didn't even think about how we would get to the airport. I always recommend Head Over Heels to everyone I know...not just for honeymoons but just for all trips in general. THANKS DAN FOR EVERYTHING!

My fiance and I reached out to Dan about arranging our honeymoon this upcoming April. He was…read moreextremely friendly, prompt to return emails and phone calls, and was totally game on researching an unconventional honeymoon locale (Morocco). Due to unfortunate circumstances we had to put our honeymoon planning on hold and we felt so bad telling Dan as he had put so much time sending us different itineraries and sifting through extremely complicated flight paths (seriously, I looked myself after he sent us a few options, and couldn't find anything anywhere near as convenient to what he sent!). But of course, he was absolutely professional and wished us all of the best and for that, we had to leave him a stellar review. We will definitely be reaching out to him when planning any future vacations and recommending him to anyone who needs a kind and hard working travel agent. Thanks, Dan!

I had no idea what area of the ship we should stay, all I knew was I needed to see outside and be outside "just in case" I felt sick.

She made our travel effortless and we were able to focus on the fun and relaxation! Would do it again and can't wait until our next vacation!

April at Aliso Viejo Village Travel customized our trip with not only the major Peru sites, but also a visit to the Amazon.

We really felt like we had someone looking out for us while keeping our own pace. It was truly a spectacular trip, the only bad thing is that it ended. We highly recommend April and Aliso Viejo Village Travel and will absolutely use their service for another vacation.
