We had a fantastic experience working with The Travel Byrds travel agency! From start to finish, everything was handled efficiently and thoughtfully. Krista made sure we had dinner reservations at a variety of restaurants, provided plenty of detailed information about excursions, and ensured every part of our trip was well organized. We experienced zero travel issues during our stay, which made the entire vacation completely stress-free. This ended up being one of our best family vacations yet, and we truly appreciate the care and attention Krista put into every detail.Posted on Joan NathanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maggie with The Travel Byrds was amazing! She took great care to make sure every step of our international vacation was perfect. She sent several emails explaining the currency and customs of each country. Including tipping protocols. She made sure all of our documents were current and ready to go. I cringed about downloading another app for this trip. No regrets!! We checked the app every morning and every night while out of the country. Our itinerary was clearly outlined and so easy to navigate. We actually looked forward to checking the outline every day. Our international return flight was cancelled. It was Maggie who notified us immediately! (Not the airline company, not the excursion company!). She secured a return flight back to the U.S. before the other companies let us know about the cancellation! Top notch service from start to finish. I am excited and calm about our next out of country trip in August 2026. I know she will be monitoring all aspects of that holiday break. Thank you, Maggie!Posted on Justin WolfTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience with this company and specifically with Haley. Organized an amazing NYE trip outside of the states quickly, cost effective and fun for the whole family. Will use again!Posted on Quinlyn SchultzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maggie made it so easy planning our Honeymoon!
