Kika was incredibly responsive and a fabulous advisor. From our first initial intake meeting to the logistics all the way up to and during the trip, she made this process a breeze.

It was so great working with Kimberly G. She swooped in and saved the day when my original travel advisor was no longer available & didn’t miss a beat! She ensured all details were finalized, answered all questions I had, and was committed to ensuring I had the itinerary I hoped for. I certainly recommend - whether you need help planning 1/3 or all of your trip… using them helps make sure your trip is how you want it to be!Posted on Google Dalton NicholsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CeCe was amazing! Helped us out when we had transportation issues in another time zone in another country. You can't do better!Posted on Google Leanne HagemeyerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Kimberly as our travel agent when we went to Germany last month and to say she did an amazing job is an understatement. Our trip couldn’t have been planned better. The tour of the castles she recommended in Prague was super amazing and would highly recommend as well as the pub crawl. We also went to Regensburg and did a city hall tour which was very fascinating. I would also recommend going to Nuremberg for their tour. You won’t be disappointed. We rounded out our trip to Munich for their tour before heading back to the states and that also was amazing. We did our tours with just our group of 3 which made the experience so much better for us and we absorbed so much knowledge and got to ask tons of questions Last but not least, the beer is a must try and the food was out of the ballpark. The trip was more than we could have expected or planned ourselves. I would recommend her to everyone. Thanks again Kimberly.Posted on Google Stephen WoodardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Christina Conti and The Travel Byrds. Christina helped us plan a trip to Italy and took care of so many details, including a couple of mid-trip changes that we requested. She was incredibly responsive and organized, and The Travel Byrds app was also very useful throughout the trip. We will definitely use Christina again for a future trip.Posted on Google Charles MartzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
