Hassle-Free Dream Travel!
EXCELLENT Based on 551 reviews Posted on Hannah Wells3 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were planning a girls trip to Jamaica for 11/11-11/17, but because of Hurricane Melissa, we were in a panic. Ashley was incredible - helping us navigate an alternative solution so that we could still make a trip happen. We ended up relocating our trip to Costa Rica with Ashley’s help. We did NOT have travel insurance and we STILL came out spending less - not more - than we originally planned. When we plan a trip again, she will be the first person we call. She took late night phone calls, answered all of our questions and always educated us fully so we could make a decision with confidence. Thanks Ashley!!!Posted on Shelley Kennagh2 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review for Ashley at Travel Birds Ashley went above and beyond to help us plan our vacation in St. Lucia! She paid attention to every single detail and made the entire experience effortless and unforgettable. She even reached out to the hotel ahead of time to arrange a delicious birthday cake and a special celebration for me, they sang Happy Birthday! On top of that, when we arrived, there was a thoughtful handwritten note from her along with a bottle of wine, thanking us for choosing her as our travel agent and wishing me a happy birthday. Ashley also connected us with wonderful local contacts who helped us set up excursions and explore the island with ease. She truly thought of everything. I highly recommend Ashley at Travel Birds to anyone looking for a travel agent who cares deeply about her clients and delivers a truly personalized experience.Posted on Therese Boyer24 October 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
