We had a wonderful experience working with Katie Buckley of Connoisseur Travel to plan our Italy…read morevacation. She put together a seamless multi-city itinerary for five travelers, arranging three rooms in each city along with private drivers, transportation, guides, and tours. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and the hotels were all well-appointed and comfortable. What stood out most was the excellent coordination between drivers and guides, which made the entire trip feel effortless. All our drivers were friendly, knowledgeable, punctual, and safe, which gave us great peace of mind throughout the journey. The Connoisseur app was also incredibly helpful, providing preparation information before the trip and clear daily itinerary details with specific timing. I highly recommend Katie Buckley of Connoisseur Travel to anyone looking for a well-organized, high-quality travel experience in Italy.

Unfortunately I was given a lot of lip service and no results during the month I tried to work with…read morethe Washington DC Connoisseur Travel associates. My experience began with a very pleasant phone conversation about my hopes to plan a Washington DC trip for my grandmother with Connoisseur Travel's assistance. It was followed by no communication, help, or results with airfare, hotel recommendations/bookings , or tours over a 2-week period. I contacted Connoisseur directly to notify them of the lack of service and professionalism I had experienced. They responded with apologies, detailed questions and statements about how they planned to rectify the situation, and ideas about my Washington DC trip. With reservations, I decided to give the new associate a second chance because she seemed genuinely apologetic and knowledgeable. 2 weeks later my trip had not moved forward with Connoisseur's help. I ended up booking and reserving everything on my own and the prices had gone up because of all the time that had passed. I foolishly did not reach out to any other travel companies and trusted this company to help me and they failed. I am posting this review because I hope it helps others that might find themselves in my situation.

But here's something they don't advertise that is of GREAT VALUE: They can help you get your visa done FASTER than if you went through the process yourself because they are more connected with the consult than we are. Therefore if it normally takes a month to go through the application process, they can actually get it done in a week if you have all your stuff together. They don't advertise this but it's of great value.

I reached out to Jeannine and she helped us through it. After talking with me, we decided on Germany and Austria, Munich and Salzburg specifically. With our interests in mind, and some imagination on her part, she mocked up an itinerary for us. Since we were flexible on dates there was some back and forth on exact dates and activities. She patiently worked with us to plan an itinerary that we liked and after realizing our trip was longer than initially thought, also worked in a few days in Innsbruck. The trip was great. We had two small hiccups while in country but Jeannine quickly and flawlessly worked it out. It was great to be able to shoot her an email and know she would work it out, we could continue on our trip stress free. You're in good hands with Jeannine.

The hotels were in perfect locations, all the tours were private with priority entry into the busy attractions (no waiting in lines!), and most of the tour guides had 10-20+ years of guide experience with education in history and/or architecture matching the tour. Also, having them provide train and airline reservations and drivers eliminated all stress getting from one place to another on time and kept us from driving and getting lost in crazy city traffic. If you want a no-worry, low stress vacation while seeing many attractions in an European country, Bethesda Travel Center is the place to go. Worth every penny and highly recommended!

She handled the reservations, assisted with scheduling activities, and dinners reservations off site. She also added special touches surprising both me and my wife such as a bottle of champagne & flowers in our room upon arrival and complimentary champagne at the restaurant. When we returned Carrie personally followed up to thank me. I recommend Savory Luxury Travel for your travel needs!

She got back to us in less than 24 hours with trip plan ideas. When we weren't excited about those she gave us time to think and come back with another idea. By the time we came back we had an entirely new idea but we had to be in Buford, GA on NYE for a wedding. Who even knows where Buford, GA is?! Jocelyn did and she made a trip itinerary happen that truly fit our needs, from location to budget to rental car! We chose to go on a relaxing nature-filled, skii/tubing trip in the mountains of NC. We appreciated her patience and flexibility- late calls, emails all day with questions....she always responded with practical and reassuring advice. She also provided all of the reviews we needed to make a informed decision. Jocelyn planned our entire trip from start to finish. She didn't book our activities because we wanted to wait until we arrived to decide but she would've if we asked! The early morning of our trip we had trouble checking into our flight online. We shot her an email at 4am, not expecting a response but more so to inform her for later. She emailed back almost immediately. The site finally let us check in but said she would handle our return flights and she did! Does she ever sleep? Talk about customer service! Our trip was filled with lots of time to reflect, relax, and enjoy one another's company- just what we wanted. The Inn Jocelyn chose for us was perfect. It was 7 minutes from snow tubing, 5 minutes from the local grocery store (I LOVED grocery shopping for the cabin) and the Inn was surrounded by nothing but quiet and nature. We traveled to the town during 'off peak' season which for some may have been a bummer but for us and our pre-NYE stay, it was perfect. We even made friends with the local wine bar owner! Jocelyn checked in on us to make sure we arrived and that we made it back safely. We would recommend Stamp'd to anyone. Jocelyn is knowledgeable, honest, practical and she doesn't try and sell you what you don't need or want like some agents. Thanks Joce for a great trip!

STEER CLEAR OF THIS TRIP ORGANIZER!!!…read more This is a review of the Jewish Young Professionals trip based on my experience on the summer 2019. This trip organizer is entirely unreliable and knowingly lies to potential participants. Various participants were lied to about everything from the age group of the trip, to accommodations of allergies, to accommodations of shabbat and kashrut observance. This trip is also overpriced for the quality and full of hidden costs. On the trip I was on it is laughable how far removed the original itinerary from when the trip was "called" was from the actual itinerary which we received just days before the trip. First a couple of things regarding safety. One day we went white water rafting, the rafting company specifically breaks the trip with lunch to ensure everyone has high energy levels throughout. Greener went out of his way to have the rafting company skip the lunch portion which resulted in exhaustion in many of the group members and even a boat flipping over towards the end. This was despite the rafting company raising concerns and the group members protesting the decision. There was a trip participant with several severe food allergies. I will spare the personal details but anyone involved with operating a tour group knows that these are without exaggeration life and death issues. Greener was emailed beforehand indicating the full list of allergies. During the trip the participant twice had to use an epipen due to mishandling of this, and multiple times on top of that had to wait until after the rest of the group had eaten for food to be made as Greener did not make arrangements for this in advance. MOST CRITICALLY Greener admitted to not even having read the allergy list because it was "really long" For those shabbat observant this is not the trip for you. Greener repeatedly confirmed no driving on shabbat, and within 2 hours of shabbat starting asked everyone to get into a van. Greener had made excuses here that he is "saving your life" which trumps shabbat. This is obviously not valid, and on top of that would not explain why it was necessary to lie about this both before the trip and even an hour before shabbat. I really cannot fathom why Jewish observance would not be respected. In the interest of keeping this readable I've limited myself to a small number of examples, but this is honestly the tip of the iceberg. If you would like to hear more please feel free to message me directly and I'd be happy to answer questions you have or put you in touch with other trip participants. My recommendation to the tour operator would be to value the safety and needs of his customers over the value of a dollar, and stop organizing trips immediately. If you want to personally travel for free try a GoFundMe or maybe beg for money.
