All accommodations, transportations, and daily excursions were planned! It was so helpful knowing our honeymoon was planned and ready while we were wedding planning ourselves. Jamie was responsive and answered all of questions. She was extremely prepared and we felt at ease knowing if anything was to come up, she had us covered!

After reaching out to Gina Rader about our long awaited Anniversary trip to Italy, she set out to make it the most memorable occasion. From getting to know our thoughts & goals to securing special touches throughout our tour of Italy! From the hotel rooms with special, one of a kind views, to champagne, wine, fruit & chocolates to greet us, we sensed the time and effort she put in to make our trip unique to us! The planning of our travel by boat, train, transport service, rental car & tours were smooth sailing & easy to navigate. We are so happy to have had her caring touch put in to our first European vacation & highly recommend her expertise of creating an Italian vacation of a lifetime!

Thank you so much for working so hard to make our anniversary trip special! Philip Warren4 November 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The TravelByrds' Haley DeCarlo recently set up a wonderful trip to Italy for my family, and we couldn't be more pleased. From the accommodations, to the drivers, and even to the chef who made us breakfast, every detail exceeded our expectations. Bravo, Travel Byrds!

We loved the hotel and excursion that she planned. Was available if we needed anything while traveling as well! Will be using to plan more trips in the future!

Byrd listened to what we wanted and came up with an amazing itinerary. We had such a great trip and will definitely use Travel Byrds for future trips! Mandy Iverson3 November 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I will recommend Kaela to all of my friends and family. She curated such a fabulous trip for me and my fiancé. Going to a new country can be so overwhelming and working with Kaela takes all of the guesswork out of it. We just came back from Italy where we were able to go to Florence, Venice, and Rome. She knows the best locations of the cities to stay in, has the best restaurant recommendations, notes the best sights to see while also letting you adjust the itinerary to your liking, and is able to create the perfect vacation. Please use Kaela for all of your upcoming vacations!! Claire Sells30 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved working with Maggie! She helped me plan a wonderful trip (pretty last minute!) when I had so many things going on. My first time using a travel agency, and it was wonderful! Highly recommend! Matt Kasee30 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Maggie N for our trip to Italy. Traveling with a baby was a new hurdle for us and Maggie made everything a breeze for us. Excellent suggestions, hotels and planning. Any question that we had, she was there for a prompt and helpful reply. Highly recommend Maggie and Travel Birds for any travel help!

Travel Agency Serving North Carolina
Everyone is different and it can be quite tricky to balance the ideas and interests of each person in your party. Our goal is to make sure everyone finds the trip to be an incredible experience and is able to take away memories that will stick with them forever. This doesn’t happen by mass producing trips or offering cookie cutter suggestions. We will do whatever it takes to ensure your trip is as unique as your traveling crew!
Top Travel Destinations
While The Travel Byrds has experts that specialize in just about every corner of the world, here’s some of our favorite destination.
Japan
Japan is an incredible destination to plan because the country often holds so many surprises and the culture is so unique. We love setting up Kobe beef and sake tastings or taking you on street food tour with a local to ease you into the amazing Japanese cuisine and help you navigate the bustling streets of Tokyo. Then, your adventure can take you hiking up and around Mt Fuji, to the culturally immersive town of Kyoto to experience geishas serving tea, temples of all types, or take a samurai sword making class. From there, you can explore the mountains in Nagano to watch the snow monkeys soak in the hot springs or head to Okinawa for an incredibly relaxing (and gorgeous) beach experience! Japan really is a country that has so much to offer. Lean into the experience, try the unusual foods, enjoy the crowds, and jump on that go kart dressed as a pikachu!
Australia
Our travel experts love educating our clients about the ridiculous array of activities that Australia has to offer. It’s a much bigger country than most people assume and figuring out the logistics to fit in each bucket list item can be quite over whelming. We will help you understand the highlights, but then listen to your interests and make some more nuanced suggestions depending on how long you’re able to visit the country. One of my favorite suggestions would be to join a small sailboat with less than 20 other passengers and spend the night (or a few nights) out over the Great Barrier Reef. This allows you to dive in many locations and see the reef in all of her glory. There’s of course endless beaches to explore, but don’t forget about the incredible hiking or even consider jumping on an ATV to explore deep into the outback. Please note, you should not try to hug a kangaroo!
Thailand
If there’s one country that completely consumes you, it’s Thailand. This country is known for it’s incredibly flavorful curries and noodle dishes as well as it’s endless list of intricate temples. There’s also the many islands and infamous beaches of Phuket. Our travel experts are happy to list to your requests, but don’t be surprised if they suggest an island or city that you’ve never heard of. We believe in straying a bit from the mainstream to find the truly wonderful experiences a country can offer. When visiting Thailand, please save a few days to visit the inland portion of the country. The beaches are beautiful but the mountains and temples of Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai are truly a sight to see! I’d also consider a cooking class in this region as you’ll learn more about the authentic ingredients that today’s cuisine still has roots in. A farm visit is worth your time!
Discover Europe's Unique Charm with The Travel Byrds
While we have travel experts that specialize in countries around the world, our true love language at The Travel Byrds is Europe. Each country in Europe has such a distinctive culture. Moving 15 minutes in one direction across the boarder will land you in an environment with completely different foods, language, architecture, and art. It’s such an endlessly interesting place to explore.
However, the secrets out. There’s millions of tourist visiting the main cities of Europe each year. We will often encourage you to go in “off season” but also to take the time to visit some of the smaller cities that help maintain the strong individualistic culture of each country. I often say that people buy the trip for the Eiffel Tower, but they end up impacted by the small village they never even knew to ask for.
Our travel experts will educate you on these options to help you choose the type of experience that will be best for you and everyone you plan to travel with!
