We used the Travel Byrds for our Honeymoon and had such an amazing, stress-free experience. Sylvie's attention to detail made our trip and schedule relaxing, fun and allowed us life long memories. WOULD BOOK AGAIN!!Posted on Google Tara GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sylvie helped me get all of my train tickets and hotels booked seamlessly. All of our choices and experiences were fantastic!Posted on Google Sharon ChapmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sylvie Harris did an amazing job of planning our dream trip to Ireland and Scotland. With our input she included the highlights that we requested sprinkled with many other exciting events. The accommodations were excellent adding to the experience. Every detail was covered including flights, drivers, tour guide, tickets and dining reservations. I highly recommend her services.Posted on Google Rebecca MonarchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved working with Christina. She was organized, thoughtful about our needs, suggestive of great things to do on our trip, and so helpful during our trip when we wanted to pivot our plans a bit. My husband and I felt that we could have booked the trip possibly for a little less money, but the amount of time Christina must have taken to book it all and coordinate it and package everything into a neat, easy-to-use app while we were traveling was WELL WORTH IT. Plus, she was able to find small B&Bs that we likely wouldn't have been able to find on our own. We were 100% pleased with our experience and enjoyed working with Christina very much. We traveled to Paris, Berlin, Sorrento, Capri, Rome and Venice.Posted on Google grace bradleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aryal was absolutely amazing!! She made the whole process of planning our honeymoon a breeze and stress free. She picked all the best activities and hotels in Greece and was so communicative with all the details where we were left with no question or any issues. We are for sure going to use her again for any future trip!Posted on Google Kevin DukeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michelle at Travel Byrds was responsive, helpful, and planned a great trip for us. She really listened to our needs and tried to get to know us as a family to tailor our Ireland trip to our interests. Everything went off without a hitch and when there were minor issues, Michelle and the TB team responded quickly and helpfully. Additionally, the trip came in slightly under budget. Immediately upon return we began discussing our next European trip with Michelle, that’s how much we valued the experience. Highly recommend her and TB for your travel planning needs.Posted on Google Cherie SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kika did an outstanding job putting together an incredible trip for us. She listened to what are interests were and suggested places I would have never discovered on my own.

I highly recommend hiring Kika at Travel Byrds to help plan your travel expirences.Posted on Google chris shawTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We could not have been happier. Everything that Monica coordinated went off without a hitch.
