The trip was delightful, with comfortable but not pricey lodging near numerous restaurants we enjoyed. Our tour bus driver was excellent, as were the various docents at all the extra places we would not have thought to visit. There was an interesting tour of Cincinnati and a lovely river boat lunch cruise. All the connections were well timed and the whole thing went off without a hitch. This was our third trip with this agency and all of our experiences with them were equally splendid.

Traveled with these folks to the Holy Land in Feb. 2010…read more The shock of the trip was that they provide a JEWISH (non-believer) guide to take you through the Holy Land. Oh my gosh. This trip was not nearly as rich as it could have been with a Christian guide, and the agency doesn't tell you in advance that your guide is Jewish. Sigh!

We cannot thank Amy Tan enough for the truly unforgettable trip she planned for us. This was a…read morelast-minute getaway with some very unique circumstances, and Amy handled everything with such care, thoughtfulness, and expertise. She not only made it all come together seamlessly, but also saved us a few thousand dollars by choosing the perfect hotel and ideal travel dates. From the very beginning, we felt completely taken care of--and that feeling stayed with us the entire trip. What could have been stressful turned into something incredibly special. The experiences she planned were beyond anything we could have imagined. We spent our days laughing, bonding, and trying new things--ziplining through the jungle, ATVing through forests and shallow rivers, and even swimming half a mile through a breathtaking cenote. We saw dolphins and sea turtles, visited a beautiful Mayan village, and enjoyed some of the most authentic and delicious Mexican food we've ever had. There were also so many magical, unexpected moments--like spending time with monkeys and deer, and even spotting a massive wild stingray. Every day felt like something out of a dream. What meant the most to us, though, was how safe we felt the entire time. As someone who is usually a very nervous traveler, I can honestly say I felt completely at ease. Amy created an experience that was adventurous and exciting, yet always grounded in a deep sense of safety and trust. This truly was a trip of a lifetime, and we are so grateful to Amy for making it possible. Her attention to detail, her ability to understand exactly what we needed, and her genuine care for her clients set her apart in every way. We will be talking about this trip for years to come--and we cannot wait to work with her again.

Amy planned an amazing family trip to Europe a few years ago, so of course we had to go back and…read moreask her to help us again! We went to Venice, Florence, Bologna, Milan, and Mykonos. As always, Amy was courteous, professional, quick to respond, and catered the trip around its purpose, which was to celebrate a graduation. She answered all of our questions and concerns. We wanted a more relaxed trip than last time, so we opted to choose our own activities, but asked Amy to help us book them. This time we needed quite a few train tickets to navigate through Italy, and Amy chose great ones. I was stressed about our luggage and how we would watch/store it, etc, but we were able to put all our luggage above our seats and didn't have to worry about anything. Once again, Amy arranged private transfers to/from the airports/hotels for us. All of the hotels were in amazing locations within easy walking distance to great sights and great food. One of the hotels was a bit outdated, butwas built in the 1700s and is probably extremely difficult and expensive to modernize. The location was just down the street from the Duomo though. Honestly, could not get better than that. Overall, trip was so much fun and relaxing. Venice was a sleeper hit. We all wished we had more time there. Taking the vaporetto in was an experience! Very cool and convenient to take it straight to the hotel as well. It was really great to spend more time in Florence and get to wander and see the city. Some of us went to the top of the dome of the Duomo, view was amazing. The climb was intense though! Bologna food tour was incredible!!! Definitely want to go back and eat literally everything. Milan was a good pit stop and we wished we had gotten tickets to see inside the Duomo.  Mykonos was beautiful and the transfer company was great. Super nice and we used them for taxi service as well. Hotel had a free shuttle to and from Mykonos town until 9pm. The catamaran tour was beautiful, amazingly relaxing, and one of the highlights of Greece. It wasn't super windy that day, so it was basically perfect! Only bump was that 2 days before we left we were trying to check in for the flight home and it said there was an issue and talk to the travel agent. I reached out to Amy and we found out that one of the airlines we were using to get home had cancelled the flight without notifying her or us of the change. Definitely not what we wanted to hear right before we needed to fly back. But Amy was fantastic. She told us don't worry, this was why we had an agent, it was her job to worry about everything and that we just needed to enjoy our last day. Amy got back to me pretty quickly (all things considered) and had booked new flights for the 8 of us. And even though we weren't sitting 8 together, she was able to get us seats of 4 and 4 close to each other. It was still a little stressful waiting to see if we were stranded or not, but nothing in comparison to if we'd had to do all of that ourselves. Thank goodness for Amy and travel insurance!!! Another unforgettable trip; THANK YOU, Planet Hoppers.

I'd recommend Silicon Valley China Visa if you want to skip the consulate lines and the two trips…read moreinto the city. The time savings alone made it worth it. I looked into handling my China visa through the SF consulate myself, but it required two trips into the city and long wait times. I decided to use Silicon Valley China Visa instead.

It took just a few short weeks to get the visa and Daniel helped me along the way. He reminded me to check the portal since the Chinese website does not send notifications after the application is approved. The price is also reasonable, even got a discount for two passports. If you want fast and reliable service to get your Chinese visa, I recommend this place.

My wife Jenny and I used LL Travel to get her Vietnam visa after getting married and updating her…read morelast name. Julie helped us and seemed friendly and professional. She handled the passport renewal, took her photo, and told us she'd notify us when everything was ready. I picked up the passport when told it was ready, but Julie wasn't there. Another staff member handed it to me after making a copy, and we trusted that everything was complete. Jenny didn't find out until she was at the airport for a red‑eye flight that the visa was never placed in her passport. She was nearly denied boarding and had to apply for an emergency visa on the spot. It was incredibly stressful and cost us extra money due to their error. When she called Julie afterward, LL Travel refused to reimburse her and claimed they tried to contact her. We were never notified ahead of time that the visa was missing or needed to be picked up separately. Mistakes happen--but refusing to take responsibility is unacceptable. This was careless handling of important travel documents, and their response showed a lack of accountability. I would not trust LL Travel again. Proceed with caution.

I would recommend checking Cathay Pacific." I'm thinking really?

The only reason why there's two stars is because she did mention that flights from HK to Shanghai are cheap relative to other airlines. Bleh.... probably wouldn't try here again...

After many years of trying to find the right travel agent I finally found Kohinoor World Travel. I…read morehave used Kohinoor for 8 years now, for trips to India, UK and France. A total of 17 tickets between my wife and myself. The owners, Nusrat and Mr. Shah have always been courteous and competent, and have found me fares better than I can get from trying the internet for a comparable itinerary. They are also competent at taking care of my sometimes unusual itineraries. I recommend giving them a call, it is worth it. (I am sorry that the other customer had such a bad experience, but perhaps she should reconsider and give them another try?)
