EXCELLENT Based on 510 reviews Corinne Holmes21 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tera helped us plan an incredible two week honeymoon to Italy! She booked all of our travel needs, activities and tours. She provided a ton of recommendations and was super responsive and informative. She even assisted us with a last minute booking after our original wine tasting/tour was cancelled. We can’t recommend her enough and look forward to working with her on future trips! Thank you so much for helping us craft a wonderful trip for this momentous occasion. Sally Schott15 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have worked with Felicia on our last two trips (and are currently planning our next two trips with her!). She is thorough and thoughtful and we couldn’t be happier with the results. She has great ideas and does a lot of research to make choices to offer to us. When we had a travel issue she jumped in quickly to solve it for us. Travel with her help is so much easier and we enjoy expanding our horizons with the ideas she offers us. I would 100% recommend her. Cali Wojciechowski4 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lauren was easy to work with. She organized the transport, helped us navigate changing flights, and overall was very informative and attentive. Tina30 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company to work with for any destination! I know one employee very well! Tommy Britt22 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve entrusted Katy with the planning for several vacations, and she’s simply the best! She has an amazing ability to find the perfect AirBnBs that match our style, and her attention to detail extends to everything, including reliable transportation services. She curates neighborhoods that truly enhance our experiences, always recommending local gems for dining that we wouldn't have found on our own. I have traveled with her on several trips that she has planned, from short outings to New Orleans to a two-week tour of Spain and Greece, and everything was perfect every time. What I love most is her commitment to staying within our budget without compromising quality. She ensures that every trip is stress-free, from booking to departure, including suggesting travel insurance for peace of mind. I know I can always count on her for expert advice and impeccable planning. If you want a travel agent who truly listens and delivers unforgettable, budget-conscious trips, Katy is the one! Highly recommend! Ennis Geraghty9 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Once again, Haley DeCarlo set Sue and I up beautifully for our vacation flights. It's not easy to get decent flights from Bozeman, Montana to Albany, New York but somehow Haley is able to schedule decent departure times with minimal layovers, in addition to arranging wheelchair pickup. Everything went smoothly, which is very important for folks like us who are of, shall we say, the elderly persuasion! We are multiple repeat clients of Haley! Jennifer Earhart7 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10/10! We have loved working with Haley at Travel Byrds. She planned our 14 day honeymoon to Italy and Greece and it was absolutely epic! She is so reasonable, creative, fun to work with and ready to book a trip you will never forget! Haley also planned a senior trip for my daughter and me to Puerto Rico and we had a blast! When the weather didn't cooperate with a catamaran experience we had booked, Haley was just a text away and readily helped us get a refund. Haley will not only plan the trip of your dreams but she will be there to help you through any unexpected events. You can't put a price on that kind of peace of mind! joanna bopp6 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sylvie planned an amazing Christmas trip to Switzerland for our family of five. Every detail was planned out by her and I didn't have to do anything but pack my bags. She was so incredibly responsive if we had any questions and always made us feel like she just wanted us to have the best time. I highly recommend her for any travels you have and we are definitely already thinking about the next trip for her to plan! Kalee B3 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I honestly cannot say enough great things about Lauren and The Travel Byrds. Lauren first planned our honeymoon to Greece in 2022, and we decided then that we’d never plan an international trip without her help! She also recently planned our two week trip to Iceland and Scotland. Both times we felt like she genuinely listened to what we wanted out of the trip instead of giving us “cookie cutter” vacation ideas. Both times she planned exactly what we envisioned while respecting our budget. Our first trip to Greece was so easy and stress free because everything was taken care of by Lauren. On our way to Iceland, we experienced some flight delays and cancellations, but Lauren was there to answer our call right away. During this stressful situation, Lauren helped us find several solutions and worked with us until the issue was solved. When we finally got booked on an alternate flight, Lauren contacted the rental car company and hotel to ensure we’d still have accommodations when we got there one day later than planned. Thanks to Lauren, we got to experience 2 of our dream trips with as minimal stress as possible. Lauren is always so sweet, helpful, and so easy to work with. I could not recommend her enough! Dana Gill19 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Monica helped plan the most amazing honeymoon for us in Italy! It was our first time traveling abroad and she made it so easy. Having all of our cooking classes, tours, excursions and even dinner reservations booked by her, our honeymoon was stress-free! We had a few questions during the trip and she was super quick to respond! Thank you Monica for making our dream honeymoon a reality!!
