What Are People Saying About Us?
EXCELLENT Based on 543 reviews Judy & Scott Levermore30 September 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lauren and her team helped us plan a wonderful trip to Ireland and Scotland. This was our first trip abroad and we had many questions which were always answered in a timely and friendly manner. The hotel accomadations and tours were wonderful. We needed extra help with getting another hotel reservation very unexpectedly and she was so responsive. It took a worry off our shoulders for sure. Just another indication that Lauren and her team were there for us even during the trip. We can't thank you enough for all your help in making this a once in a lifetime trip. Kevin Duke19 September 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our second trip working with Travel Byrds (specifically Michelle) and it was everything I could have hoped for and more. The trip met our exact needs, beautiful location, hotel, food, activities. It was great! However, MOST importantly, we visited Paris and during our trip there were strikes that impacted our travel. Michelle was incredibly available, responsive, and problem-solved for us to ensure the disruption was minimal, we received appropriate refunds, and our trip transfer to the airport (so as not to miss the return flight) was assured. We could not have asked for better service from a travel agency and will DEFINITELY use TB (specifically Michelle) again! Logan Holman2 September 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Monica was so helpful and communicative - and always available if we needed anything in the process!

She pays incredible attention to detail and makes every trip stress-free and unforgettable. Her knowledge of Switzerland is unmatched — she knows all the hidden gems and the best ways to experience the country. What I appreciate most is that she’s always there when we need her, whether it’s a quick question or last-minute help. Traveling with her support feels effortless, and I can’t recommend her enough! Eliza Balsamo25 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot thank our travel advisor, Sylvie, enough for helping us plan the perfect honeymoon. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and guided us to the most incredible destination. She patiently answered all of our questions, big or small, and made sure every single detail was taken care of so we could relax and truly enjoy our upcoming trip. Thanks to her expertise and thoughtful planning, everything I’m sure will exceeded our expectations. We will absolutely be using Sylvie for all of our future travels and will be recommending her to all of our friends and family Claire Lynch Ernst25 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently returned from an incredible trip to Switzerland and Paris planned by Sylvie and we cannot recommend her enough! She did a phenomenal job creating an itinerary that allowed us to experience every side of Switzerland- mountains, cities, and the lake- while also making time to soak in the charm of Paris. We even got to meet up with Sylvie in-person and she took the time to show us around Zürich and the surrounding area. Which was amazing!! Every excursion she booked was thoughtfully recommended, budget-friendly and offered us great options to choose from. Her team even curated dining experiences that were incredible. Our favorites included a family owned bistro and a mountainside bar overlooking the Matterhorn. The entire trip was seamless thanks to the travel app she provided, complete with guides, suggestions, and communication. We never had to waste timing wondering what to do next which made it effortless and enjoyable! We will never plan another trip without the help of Sylvie and her team! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an stress-free, perfectly planned adventure. Christine Carlo George18 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Haley was highly knowledgeable and gave us great advice on navigating Italy, insurance etc. We took all of her advice, and it paid out!! We had a snafu with our airport transfer, which wasn't her fault. She was highly responsive, and she fought hard to make it right. We were very grateful to have her when we needed her. Plus, our accommodations, experiences, air travel, etc., all were incredible!!! We created core memories for our family, and it was the trip of a lifetime. Ken G15 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tera did a fantastic job planning our recent trip to Washington DC.
