Unique Destinations & Events - Times Square- New York City, NY - Travel Agents Near Me

Age 30, 2-12-19: Where to start, well it was over a year ago when I thought, "Well I'm 6 months away from the wedding and I'm in charge of planning the honeymoon. I need to get on it. Maybe I'll see about a travel agent that help point me in the right direction." Giving Unique Destinations a call from seeing his yelp reviews was the absolute best decision I could have made. Jim is an absolute rock star. Instantly got on my same page and found us several options in our needs. It was amazing, we chat on the phone maybe 2-3 times and several emails later. My whole honeymoon was done!!!! And don't get my wrong I had some doubts about if this was the right decision, but wow, my expectations were blown away. THE TRIP WAS AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZING!!!! He had a well written itinerary and maps to go with it all emailed to me so I could make sure we never lost a map or confirmation code. Everything was well prepared and the whole thing became one of the best moments of my life, PERIOD. I couldn't recommend him enough. My uncle loves to travel and see the world with his family. They are always just taking a cruise to Mexico or Jamaica, you get it. So when his son just got engaged, he asked what I had done. I told him about Jim and BAM, Jim Hooked them up and my even called me to thank me. "Jim's Awesome!" Trust me when I say, your in good hands. read more

I very much appreciate Mr. Jim Lash' support and help "after" booking our multi-segment trip to Argentina. The Corona Virus came to the fore just days ahead of our (6 men) trip to Argentina. The fees had already been paid and all plans set into place... serious outlay of cash. Fast forward several weeks and I place a call to Jim asking that he look into having the airlines refund our monies due to the cancellations. He did just that and within the day secured the refunds. That took a lot of the headache out of my/our day. I/we could not be more appreciative. Please give this company your consideration, he earned every bit of it for us and went well and above duty in securing our refunds. I/we will be using him in the future. A. Melonas read more

Thanks again Jim. Amazing customer service!!! You made this trip a reality and memories we will never forget. First experience using a travel agent and definitely worth it. read more

Unique Destinations & Events - This was our first time working with a travel agent. Jim was amazing and helped make this trip a reality. - Travel Agents Near Me

Jim booked a trip to France and England for me and my friends. I was so glad I choose to use him and didn't try to book it myself. He found me really awesome boutique hotels that I would have never found. Then the worst happened and a snowstorm in Philadelphia canceled our flight. Jim was awesome in rebooking everything and making sure it didn't ruin our trip. I had never used a travel agent before and I am so happy I decided to for this trip. read more

We met with Jim, the owner, this afternoon. Super Person. He pointed out parts of the trip where we would be better off, (cheaper) booking other ways. His aim was to save us money on our trip, rather than his own profit. It is a wild trip, with many different flights, and he was a champ helping us navigate through all of it. He also suggested the best place for us to get money converted here in Las Vegas, to save us some time and money when we are overseas. Then there was hotels. Our favorite was booked, so he found out for us which days it was possible to stay there, and suggested another hotel to stay for the one day our favorite was not available. Then he had great info on the cheapest airline available for the trip. It was Turkish Airlines, which we have never taken, and were a bit nervous about choosing. He really put our minds at rest for that part, with his experiences with them. We are so glad to have found an honest, knowledgeable travel agent, who is watching out for our costs. We would like to recommend him to you, for any of your travel plans! read more

I can't say enough about how much Jim helped our group both during the complicated planning process of our trip to Argentina, but also during the the cleanup process after our travel plans were halted at the very last minute due to newly implemented travel restrictions because of the COVID-19 virus. Jim was a true gentleman to work with and underpaid himself every step of the way. He will be the only person I call for future travel planning. I know when the going gets tough, he's there right by my side. Thank you Jim! read more

When we decided to take a trip to Ireland the first thing i did was go online and try to find deals myself. I became overwhelmed quickly. I knew nothing about ireland or where to stay. I was worried id turn it into the lampoons family vacation..I don't even know how i heard about unique destinations but looking back i can honestly say it was fate, destiny, a godsend. Jim was amazing. He was so caring and careful in every single detail from flights to rental car to hotels. He obviously knows the business. We never traveled abroad and honestly didnt know anything. He had expertise in things i wouldn't have even thought of to prepare us for our journey. He was even available during our trip i case we wanted to make changes or needed assistance. If it wasn't for him this trip in no way shape or form would have been possible. It was a trip our family will never forget and honestly quite affordable. We fell in love with ireland and most definitely hope to go back. I just hope Unique Destinations is around when we go.my advice is to be very upfront with them. Tell them all your wants needs and expectations. They will do everything they can to make it happen and if they cant, they will find sometimes even a better solution. He worked as fast as i needed him to and even tweaked things along the way just to meet my expectations. Our family is so grateful for this company. PS... i didn't forget about the enchiladas...lol ***My only advice to future travelers no matter who you book through, parking in other countries is much like parking is here in New York and San Francisco... meaning its limited and expensive so makes sure you are aware of those fees. Especially if you rent a car. Be prepared. Also renting cars is different too. Unless you're willing to make a 5000 deposit and hope nothing happens to the car, buy the insurance. And buy it at the time of booking if you are someone who likes to budget. read more

I am not sure where to begin. I won a 5 day - 4 night trip for 2 to Hawaii through a company in town, and their travel agent is Unique Destinations and Events, LLC. The owner, Jim Lash, reached out to me immediately, and we started the process of planning out my trip. I had a TON of questions, specific requests, and ideas. I must have emailed Jim five times a day. He came up with multiple resorts, explained everything clearly, and even worked with us on our flight times to maximize our days in Hawaii. We finally settled on all the details and we will be happily sitting on a Hawaiian beach next May. I cannot say enough good things about Jim and Unique Destinations and Events. We will definitely be using them for our next vacation and/or event. Photos forthcoming next year! read more

I needed to fly my cast and crew to Edmonton Canada and was simply lost on how to get it all done. I was getting ridiculously high airfares. Jim from Unique Destinations was able to find me not only much lower prices, but fantastic flight times. He arranged everything! Our next venture includes a cruise and we WILL be using this very friendly and efficient service. read more

Wow!!! Where do I begin? We decided to do a cruise for our 5 year anniversary. It was the best decision ever. Our trip was AMAZING!! Thank you so much Jim for booking, setting and planing our trip for us. You've made everything so easy and we were treated like Royalty on the Royal Caribbean ship. I can't thank you enough for how much fun we had on ALL of the excursions that YOU recommended, and how beautiful the ship was. Each port we went to was breathtaking and full of surprises. We can't wait to do it again. Hopefully soon. read more

Jim is the Rand McNally of today's travel. Instead of trusting online forums, I found Jim's knowledge of cruise ships and travel destinations way above average. I would recommend him to anyone. Plus, he knows the industry. read more

Wow! What service! We called Jim to get information to plan a family trip to Vegas. by the next afternoon, he had put together an 8 page comprehensive itinerary with activities for the kids. It included pictures, prices, best times to visit, and other pertinent information. He was a pleasure to deal with and highly recommend him. read more

I want to say thank you to Jim for making my first ever cruise vacation an unforgettable one and so stress free! Jim is so knowledgeable and full of suggestions, funny and willing to work with you to make your trip come true! Everything was so easy, stress free and he followed up with me often in case there were any changes. I even got engaged on our cruise and now setting up my honeymoon trip with Jim! I highly recommend Unique Destinations to everyone that loves to travel, who knows you might get engaged too! Thanks for everything Jim! read more

Admittedly I'm tied to another review (Ally Cox) But Jim is worth 10 stars out of 5. From the beginning, he was amazingly helpful with setting up cruise information. We knew nothing about the idea and he was on the ball with suggesting ideas and which boats to try. Better yet he made sure we were covered in case of emergency. When disaster struck and my wife fractured her ankle, Jim was right there on the phone call or text away making sure we had a place to stay while in the Bahamas and asking about my flights. We'll always come back to Jim for any vacation needs. And with the wanderlust my wife and I have. You bet it'll be often. read more

Jim did a fantastic job organizing our vacation. We gave him potential dates, our price range, and our preferred climate. He took care of the rest. Presented us with multiple packages in an organized manner and helped to make a great vacation possible. Although the trip was relatively short and inexpensive, Jim still gave us an amazing customer service experience. Accordingly, I will rely on Jim to book our more significant trips in the future. read more

My husband and I booked our honeymoon on a Royal Caribbean Cruise with Jim about a year ago. He was such an honest and down to earth person. We knew absolutely nothing about cruises and he answered all of our silly questions. He was so helpful every step of the way. The best part is he wasn't pushy, only informative. I am so thankful that Jim talked us into getting the travelers insurance because on the second day of our cruise I fractured my ankle while on an excursion in the Bahamas. When the ship left us behind in the Bahamas so I could go to the hospital and get medical attention we didn't have any internet on our phones. WE had to sign up for a daily international plan through our cell carriers and that only gave us talk and text. We couldn't look up hotels, we couldn't look up food and we didn't know what to expect in a foreign country we had never been to before. We were completely lost and panicked just finding out from the cruise medic that I fractured my ankle and our cruise was over. As it had been a year since we booked our cruise, we couldn't remember if we got travelers insurance since that was not something we normally signed up for. When my husband called Jim in a panic trying to find out about our travelers insurance and how we were going to get home, he was so helpful. He was on it right away. He booked us a flight as soon as we told him we were leaving the hospital. He even booked us a hotel for the night as our flight wasn't until the next morning. To take it even further when my husband tried to ask him anything he might know about Bahamas as far as food and money, turns out he lived there at some point in his life so he was able to answer all of our questions once again. I highly recommend Jim for any travel needs you may have. I am so thankful for everything he has done for us. read more

Jim Lash was recommended by a friend to assist us in planning our 40th wedding anniversary trip to Italy in May 2017. We are so glad we chose Jim for his travel assistance! Our trip was everything we wanted and more! We were delighted with the accommodations he selected for us. The tour packages he booked for us were outstanding! Jim was readily available through our booking experience, both by phone and by email. He customized our trip and helped us build an itinerary unique to our wishes. Jim was available to us for inquiries while we were in Italy, even though he was traveling in England at the same time, he responded promptly by email! Thanks, Jim! You helped us have a wonderful trip and make awesome memories!! read more

Jim was incredible! We were planning our honeymoon and had a lot of special requests! I was afraid of being bridezilla with all of my demands but Jim made it all happen with no stress on us. There is nothing this man can't do!! He had great ideas for our trip on where to go and what to see. Our honeymoon was perfect thanks to Jim. Thanks for a great trip! Mrs. Bonita Q. Quinn. read more

They are so ridiculous. I book a trip and just over 24 hours later the price went down. They would not do a thing to help. It's not like my trip is tomorrow and I was out of town so I could not check. This sucks. Really bummed. read more

If you are looking for someone to customise your trip and arrange everything for you, Jim is the person to look for. He built and customised our itinerary to suit our budget and liking. There were options given to us for everything, so we could pick and choose what we wanted. He was even so kind as to cancel and rebook certain tours, hotels and attractions for us when we changed our minds and decided on something else later, even at the last minute. He was totally accommodating and we were so pleased we found him through the reviews on this site. Best of all, he didn't charge a single cent for his services! We were expecting to pay him a huge service fee. He earns his fee from the operators he books the tours, tickets and hotels from. And the prices he quoted us were quite comparable to those we found online. All in, we were very pleased with our USA trip and we are very glad to have got Jim to help us with our itinerary. Jim, thanks once again for helping my sister and me arrange a wonderful time in Las Vegas and San Francisco! You will definitely be highly recommended to friends and relatives for future trips. read more
