To start, I will admit I had never utilized a Travel Agency before to book a vacation. However, for…read moremy family's and I Summer vacation trip to Japan it really felt like an arduous task when I tried to do research of where to stay, visit, etc. I did not know what to expect when originally coming across L & B Travel on the app Thumbtack. When I reached out I was assigned Sebastian. From the very beginning Sebastian was extremely friendly, patient, understanding and most importantly, very knowledgeable and transparent. I initially sent him over a bullet point list of what I was looking for and details of our trip. We then scheduled a short call to discuss my trip and confirm some trip details. Very quickly thereafter Sebastian provided the initial itinerary that was extremely spot on, which made me appreciate that he listened intently and captured every single detail of my trip request. I immediately felt more relaxed knowing that Sebastian really cared about my trip and wanted to get things right, right out of the gate. As part of the itinerary that Sebastian provided, it included a phenomenal package of hotel stays, flights and tours across 3 cities in Japan at cost-effective rates. Things I would 100% not have been able to find/secure on my own. Sebastian was able to get me everything we wanted in our trip and within our budget. I could not believe it! Fast-forward to once we were in Japan... We had a tour one day to Mount Fuji and the third party company that Sebastion had procured our tour from, had delayed our tour voucher and still had not provided it as of the morning of our tour. From Japan at 8am local time, as my family and I waited outside the tour bus, with 20 minutes left before the bus would leave for the tour, I called Sebastian for his help. In less than 5 minutes he called me back and retrieved the voucher from the third party and emailed it me, so we would not miss our tour. Sebastian sprung into action immediately and saved what could have been a very disappointing day, into a day my family and I will never forget in such a wonderful way! As we were getting close to ending what had been an incredible vacation to that juncture, I reached out to Sebastian as we were gearing to heading to our final city (Osaka) in Japan for our final 3 nights, asking if he could do anything about our hotel lodging as I felt our jr. suite would be too cramped for my family of 5. Again, Sebastian sprung into action immediately and was able to pull some strings and upgrade us to a larger suite that was perfect for us AT NO ADDITIONAL COST. All in all, reaching out to L & B Travel and being fortunate enough to work with Sebastian was the best thing that could have happened to my family and I with our vacation as everything turned out beautifully, as we really had the time of our lives. That being said, I recommend L&B Travel to anyone and everyone, and I recommend Sebastian to all who are looking to plan a trip. He really knows his stuff, but you get a guy who is honest, patient, understanding, hardworking and transparent, and who did all the heavy-lifting to get my trip planned successfully. I have found my travel agent and without a doubt will continue to use L&B and reach out to Sebastian for all of my future trips/family vacations. From my family and I, THANK YOU, Sebastian and L&B!!

Based on their recommendation, I decided to book our trip through AW for what would be my nephew's and my first visit to Japan. Even before our journey began, I was impressed by their customer service. I contacted the team several times with different questions while planning our trip, and they were always responsive, friendly, and incredibly helpful. They provided clear information and made me feel confident that we had chosen the right agency. From the moment we arrived in Japan, everything was flawlessly organized. Ann, who greeted us at the airport, was waiting with a sign displaying our names, making us feel immediately welcomed. She then escorted us to our driver, who accompanied us throughout our itinerary. Every transfer was punctual, smooth, and stress-free. The itinerary was well planned, easy to follow, and perfectly paced. Every hotel exceeded our expectations--from the seamless check-in process, which our tour guide Lee assisted us with, to the beautiful rooms, outstanding breakfast buffets, and excellent amenities. Several hotels even offered gyms, spas, swimming pools, and traditional hot springs, which made our stay even more memorable. A special thank you goes to our tour guide, Lee. He was exceptional--attentive, professional, knowledgeable, and an excellent communicator. His passion for Japan, its history, and its culture truly enhanced our experience. Every city and attraction we visited was thoughtfully organized, allowing us to enjoy each destination without worrying about logistics. The included dinners were delicious, and we also chose to participate in several optional excursions that were not part of the original itinerary. Those experiences were absolutely worth it and became some of the highlights of our trip. Overall, our experience with AW exceeded every expectation. Their attention to detail, outstanding customer service, exceptional accommodations, and well-organized itinerary made our first trip to Japan truly unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend AW to anyone planning a trip to Japan or any of the other destinations they offer. We are already looking forward to booking our next adventure with them! This version is polished for a 5-star review while still sounding personal and authentic. It emphasizes the quality of the service, accommodations, and guide in a way that is likely to be helpful to future travelers.

10 days 8 nights Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini & back to Athens with Affordable World in September…read morewas wonderful. But a bit breeze & cool. I would recommend a sweater or jeans jacket. If you get the opportunity upgrade the hotel in Athens ONLY, the hotels in Mykonos & Santorini were up to my standards but the 1 in Athens, Athens Avenue Hotel I would recommend do an upgrade. We frequent a restaurant across the street from the hotel called A Little Taste of Home Restaurant. The restaurant food was very good. We started off in Athens which I thought the tour to the Acropolis and museum the tour guide was long winded & lost a few of the group due to boredom. People started venture off on their own to view the sites instead of standing in 1 place listening to her talk for about 30 mins. Also I was disappointed that the tour didn't include us stopping and seeing the changing of the guards & the Olympic circle, we only were able to view these from the tour bus which wasn't ideal. At the end of the tour in Athens my group ventured off looking for food & found the Psaras Tavern a beautiful picturesque restaurant with beautiful & tasty food. The tour guide initially warn us about pickpocketers & we encountered 2 groups of pickpocketers 1 was after we left Psaras Tavern & did a bit of shopping a young couple in their twenties were attempting to start pickpocketing but we interrupted their plan & they walked away. Then we saw a older guy in his 60's with a woman in a wheelchair & another guy tried to get close to us but my group was fully aware & on alert which deterred them from any more attempts to pickpocket our group. Due to rough winds which delayed us traveling by ferry to Mykonos we arrived at night instead of early morning and lost 1 day in Mykonos. I will say the ferries are not for the weak. You have to pull your bags onto the ferry while cars and even trucks are driving off the ferry. There are crowds of people trying to enter the ferry. Then you leave your bags and go to your seats. The seats and ambience on the ferries are nice but the boarding and disembarking is a bit rough. You can also purchase food on the ferries. Mykonos was wonderful and the hotel was splendid. The walking tour I really enjoyed it the tour guide was nice, informative & showed us all the great places & even gave us recommendations of restaurants. The food was fresh and delicious there only wished we didn't lose a day there. Then another ferry ride to Santorini which was also wonderful the hotel was gorgeous. The walking tour was nice but the tour guide wasn't patience with the older guests who couldn't walk as fast as her as well as people perusing the different shops. The experience was a bit like fast food we were rushed. However with the days there some of my group went on a yacht tour, wine tour etc. some adventured on their own to Fira and Oia for shopping and great eats. We went to Naoussa Restaurant and ate good food and broke plates. We also went to the Greek Wedding Show which was wonderful and funny & we also broke plates. Then returned back to Athens for 1 more day and the departed home. Overall it was a great trip

Subject: A Wonderful Experience on Qatar Airways Flight QR735 (Doha to Chicago)…read more On Monday, June 15, we traveled from Doha to Chicago on Qatar Airways Flight QR735. There is so much we could say about this journey, but in just a few words, we would like to say that this flight truly won our hearts. We traveled in Business Class, seated in 8E and 8F. Everything about the journey was exceptional--from the comfort and cleanliness of the aircraft to the outstanding service provided by the cabin crew. We would especially like to express our heartfelt appreciation to the flight attendants Ruchi and Parinaz. Their warm smiles, kindness, and caring attitude made us feel like family throughout the flight. Parinaz, in particular, made us feel as though she were our own daughter. Her genuine care, affection, and professionalism made our journey unforgettable. We are proud to share this wonderful experience and highly recommend Qatar Airways Flight QR735 to all travelers. The excellent cleanliness of the aircraft and the exceptional hospitality of the cabin crew, especially Parinaz, deserve the highest praise. We are delighted to give this flight a 5-star rating and look forward to traveling with Qatar Airways again in the future. Thank you to the entire Qatar Airways team for making our journey so comfortable and memorable. Sincerely, Amrik Singh & Family
