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.

I'd give them six-stars if possible…read more They were very responsive to all my questions even before I paid them anything--before I even became a client. 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.

We followed her from her prior employer in Annapolis to WTS, and she never missed a beat. She provides excellent guidance for our many long distance cruises and provides accommodation guidance and assistance for our domestic trips. Her job doesn't end when she sells the trip, she follows up to make sure that everything is perfect as we embark on our voyage, and takes any of our feedback seriously and pursues any issues with our cruise line. She's the best, and we'll continue to utilize her services for the foreseeable future.

Another great family vacation planned by Guido and his staff--two weeks in Spain! (We did a similar…read moreItaly trip planned by them several years ago.) Hotels, transportation, tours, and tour guides--all planned to perfection and excellent. 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!

Vicki Briggs was the best travel agent I can imagine working with. She was responsive,…read moreimaginative, and resourceful. I guess she specializes in Viking cruises, but we used her for our honeymoon in Hawaii. Vicki put together a fantastic package for us: airfare, high-end resorts, the works. The best, though, were the activities she found for us. We could only give her a vague idea of what we wanted, because we really didn't know (and had decision fatigue from the wedding planning). No problem for Vicki, who just went out & found us great stuff. She booked us on a tubing adventure, a great luau, and what was easily the best helicopter tour on Kauai. When we needed to make changes, as we did several times, she was quick and flexible about doing so. I normally book travel myself, but I would go back to her in a heartbeat.

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.

I recently stopped by a few weeks ago and was honestly excited to see the transformation. The place looks immaculate--from the parking lot to the inside. My review is mainly based on the casino and lobby areas, but both were really impressive. The space feels much more elevated and modern than it used to. The casino area had a DJ playing, which was a whole vibe, and there were plenty of machines. Overall, the place feels brighter, more welcoming, and updated compared to what it was before. I also loved the main entrance and the hotel lobby--it really makes a great first impression when you walk in. Overall, it was a great experience. I'm looking forward to coming back again and possibly staying overnight next time so I can check out the rooms too.
