Excellent Customer Service
Stoddard is a wonderful travel agent who provides outstanding customer service!

I initially contacted Stoddard via email. He reached out to me that very same day via phone and email. I spoke with him at length that afternoon and explained that we want to go on a 10-12 day trip to Switzerland. Before I went to bed that evening, he sent over a full itinerary which included flights, hotels, some meals, and recommendations for how to spend our time. All of this came in under our budget. Everything that Stoddard picked was fabulous, but since we had some extra money we added an extra night and made one or two upgrades. Stoddard was patient, friendly, and responsive throughout all of our interactions, and he always gave his honest opinion when we asked him for his input. It's evident that he knows Switzerland very well!! Our trip is now officially booked and we could not be more excited!

I highly recommend using Stoddard to plan your next vacation. He will not disappoint!!

Honeymoon to Thailand
First time getting away in many years, newlyweds on our post-honeymoon vacation somewhere we knew nothing about, and Stoddard immediately got a great trip together, along with all the experience he had living there a few years. Never used an agent before, not to mention a specialist like Stoddard. Talked me through the options, send example, settled on a 14 day trip, and it was awesome... Thanks Stoddard !

Trip of a lifetime!
Stoddard was a fantastic representative that provided us with a once in a life time trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives. His attention to detail and communication were impeccable, and he did everything he could to ensure we had the most amazing experience ever. I can't recommend his services enough and I refer him to friends and family all of the time. I know they share my feelings as well, based on their experiences working with Stoddard. I can't recommend him enough.
