Lauren was absolutely amazing! We had such a great trip and knowing Lauren and Travel Byrds were there to help us in case we had any issues made us enjoy our trip that much more. I will recommend Lauren and Travel Byrds to my friends, family, and really anyone who will listen.

Lauren was so accommodating and knowledgeable. She was spot on with recommendations too. Our trip to London and Paris was fantastic and stress free because everything was booked and ticketed ahead of time.

What an amazing experience!! I can't rave enough about how wonderful it was to work with Lauren!! She guided us through planning the perfect trip for us; from booking excursions, to flights, trains and cars, Lauren made our first trip to Europe very stress-free. She was available all throughout our trip even though we were on opposite time zones! We are looking forward to Lauren planning our next adventure!!!
★★★★★
We loved our Couples Getaway to Sedona. Lauren was so helpful and knowledgeable- She helped us take a longer trip that was under budget! We indulged in deep tissue massages, fantastic dinners, amazing stargazing, and spontaneous adventures to see the Grand Canyon! We will be booking with Travel Byrds again soon!

Lauren is incredible to work with and if I could give her a million stars I would! I've never worked with a travel agent before and I certainly won't be working with anyone, but Lauren again in the future! She made the process so easy and made it so personalized to us.

Lauren was a wonderful resource for making our two week Europe trip so special. She researched and made accommodations for us to attend Octoberfest in Germany, The Sound Of Music tour in Austria, and true honeymoon experience in the Tuscan countryside, Florence, and Rome. We look forward to working with Lauren again, I could not imagine planning a big trip without her!

My husband and I just returned from our 25th anniversary dream cruise/land vacation in Europe. Lauren Hompstead prepared every detail of our trip for us and it was a joy to work with her! She was very professional and attentive to our ideas and made our vacation so memorable. She will definitely be our go to for our next adventure!

What a great time!! Lauren helped us get the ball rolling with my wife and me's first trip to Ireland. She provided so much support on flights, stay, and car rental freeing us to focus on the experiences of the trip itself and enjoy the whirlwind of 7 days across all of Ireland. This is our second time using Travel Byrds, and we are both thrilled with the service they provide! If you're looking for a great experience that helps to cut out a lot of the friction in planning a trip, start with them!

We recently worked with Lauren Hompstead to finalize plans for a 10 day trip to Ireland. Working with her was the best decision that we made. We knew what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. We turned to her to assist with places to stay, transportation, and a few excursions. She asked good questions, listened, and tailored her response to meet our specific needs. She was incredibly easy to work with, flexible, and responsive. The result was a fabulous trip that was virtually stress-free and effortless. Thanks Lauren!!
★★★★★
Where do I even begin, Lauren was amazing when helping my husband and I plan our honeymoon! It was perfect. Her attention to detail was incredible, she knew exactly what I wanted and didn’t! Her personality is so easy to get along with. She responds in a timely manner. Overall, it was the best trip we’ve ever been on! Highly recommend Lauren to anyone for future trips!
★★★★★
Lauren and her team are amazing- I loved that she worked with me on my budget and let me be involved as much or as little as I wanted. It was the perfect blend. She’s responsive, easy to work with, and accommodating! Looking forward to my next trip.
★★★★★
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 under the budget we gave her. 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!
★★★★★
We used Lauren Hompstead at Travel Byrds for our recent trip to St Thomas and we had an excellent experience. The team researched options and provided us with choices and once we made a decision, they took care of all bookings and made sure we had everything we needed for our trip so we could focus on relaxation and fun! It was a great trip and Lauren was easy to work with. We're working with her again for our 2025 return trip.
★★★★★
Using Lauren Hompstead and the Travel Byrds for our international trip was a great decision! It took away all of the stress of booking lodging, travel to the country, and within it. The lodging was exactly what we were looking for. Everything went smoothly thanks to Lauren's prep before, would recommend!
★★★★★
Lauren planned a wonderful vacation for our group of 4. When we had a last minute question about our return flight she got back to us by text right away. Aruba was beautiful.
