Take Time to Travel is a first-rate travel agency, which easily assisted my husband and I on a…read more22-day extravaganza journey covering five countries. It began with the efficient guidance by Cindy Barnett of all the necessary details on a 14-cruise on Oceania Serena from Barcelona to Dublin. No easy task moving from one country to another--five in all--and monitoring all the specific requirements by helping to set up the excursions, obtaining travel insurance and entry documents into the U.K. (which now requires proper authorization beyond passports). Following the cruise, Patricia Ladner, who secured great flight accommodations for the entire trip, also set up the five hotels we proposed to visit in Ireland along with professional drivers to take us from the Dublin Port to Belfast to Galway to the Dingle Peninsula and back to Dublin in the eight short days we visited. The coordination along with excursions I had chosen through LocalTours.com and Viator, were monitored and tracked. The trip was a flawless wonder! It was like the entire Take Time to Travel team was conveniently riding in our suitcases. Yes, we will once again give them our travel business as they have successfully guided us on two amazing trips to Europe. They are quite the dependable team to count on.

I had to call to reschedule the trip to Germany because of surgery so I needed a return call. I had to call twice because got no response after a few days of waiting. I impressed upon the receptionist that I really needed to talk to someone. I finally got a callback. No one ever mentioned that when I rebooked my air went away. I just happened to see that when I was checking the hotel locations on the website. That's all I can remember.

I didn't know how the Express Passes work, what a Park Hopper pass is, nothing. She broke everything down for me and made sure I understood everything before we headed to Orlando. She checked in with us after we got there and after we got home, though she explained everything in such detail beforehand that we didn't have any questions. Stephanie is the reason why my significant other's birthday trip went off without a hitch! I can't recommend her enough. Pictures of us being huge nerds all over the parks included.

Richard provides incentives that are, on average, better than or comparable to other travel agencies. But where he excels is in customer service. As Alena states, he is a very patient agent. His knowledge of the cruise industry is second to none. Best of all, he has contacts within the cruise industry that made him invaluable during a recent dispute we had with one of the cruise lines (which shall remain nameless). We are customers for life. Give him a call when booking your next cruise. You can thank me later.

She gave me so many great recommendations about the different cruise lines and destinations. My travel agent handled everything for me! From payments, making sure we had the best rooms, she even booked our plane tickets as well. All we had to do (Literally) was just show up! And she did all of that while making sure we had the best rates possible. This has been by far the easiest vacation I've ever booked. My family and I didn't have to worry about anything. The hardest part about this vacation was choosing the destination lol. GAV is the only travel agency I will be booking with from now on. Definitely a hidden gem.

We started looking at travel agents and Dee's name came up. I called her and she answered right away and was happy and willing to get to work immediately on helping us find a great vacation.

We were able to to get in the car the following morning and drive to a beautiful beach in a matter of hours! It was 4 days of bliss! We loved the Don Ce Sar and St Pete. We will definitely use Dee's services again and we will definitely go back to St Pete! She was professional, knowledgeable and a joy to work with. Thank you Dee!!!!

We have never been on a cruise before, and Dee walked us through the entire process. From booking until we made it back home. DBD assisted with setting up a great payment plan, and for a family of six could have been difficult, but she made it manageable and greatly appreciated. Dee went over what to expect, provided recommendations of places to go, and things to do. With her help it allowed us to enjoy more of the trip without the stress of planning. The one thing we appreciated most from DBD was having the comfort of knowing we could call with anything we may have needed or any last minute changes. With her handling every detail allowed us to enjoy the beautiful ship, Islands, and the excursions. DBD took care of not only our flights, hotel, and cruise but an experience. Dee Tyner wanted our family to enjoy ourselves without worry, and we truly did. For our first cruise experience with the help of DBD allowed it to be a memorable one. We look forward to DBD booking our next family trip. Can we say Mediterranean Cruise!!

He did so kindly. Neal is -fast-, courteous, and understand the needs, standards and budget of his clients. Speed is key when trying to book flights. The guy we left dragged his feet, and ticket costs skyrocketed by 1k for first class. If you're a frequent flier like me (Platinum on Delta) here's the value added to using Neal. -the headache of booking, and getting best rooms etc, is his. -at MOST, you pay the same amount as if you booked the trip yourself, but you get more in upgrades, room selection, perks, and of course personalized service. -on anniversaries, he's had everything from chocolates to champagne waiting in the room. We learned the hard way. Use Neal.

When planning a wedding, not everything goes perfectly and this includes the honeymoon. We recently discovered, without notice or warning, that American Airlines had cancelled our flight out of Grenada to Miami. If it wouldn't have been for Neal and his attention to detail, we could have been stuck between a rock and a hard place with limited return options. Since Neal caught the mishap early, he was able to use his expertise to find alternate options and now we will be staying an extra night in Grenada at the same resort for FREE (as well as a resort credit) while carrying over our prearranged travel plans to the following day. We have never met Neal face to face because of our location differences (he's in Atlanta and we reside in Cincinnati) but his professionalism allows him to set up the perfect vacation for all of his customers no matter where they are located. I would highly recommend working with Neal no matter where you reside or what type of travel you are planning if you want it done perfectly. If we would have gone with one of the travel sites, there is not a doubt in my mind that we would have been out of luck with due to the airline's mishap. My fiance and I thank you Neal and we look forward to experiencing our wonderful honeymoon in Grenada!
