My Reviews

Helpful Honest Agent
Tim responded to me quickly and met all our travel needs. He shared great information about the area we were visiting. He also didn’t promise things he could not deliver; we wanted a super high end stay at an economy price. Tim had a thoughtful conversation with us, then we planned a great trip that turned out to be my wife’s best trip of her life. We’ll definitely use Tim again, he’s honest and knows how to create a great trip!

Exciting Boston Trip!
I recently booked a trip to Boston using Tim. We are so excited about this trip!!! Our kids are learning US history and Tim tipped us off to great places to visit that will be right from the history books!!! Tim listened to what we wanted, a family friendly visit with lots of historical landmarks that will be fun for kids. His knowledge of Boston is amazing and he helped us plan a great trip that is right in our budget. We’ll definitely call Tim for our next trip!!

Amazing Affordable Trip!
I recently booked a budget-friendly trip to Portugal through Tim, and it turned into the best trip of my life!. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and centrally located, especially impressive given the price point. My favorite was a charming guesthouse in Lisbon that had a rooftop terrace overlooking the city. The package also included a few guided tours, including a day trip to Sintra and a port wine tasting in Porto, both of which were highlights of the trip. Transportation was seamless, with train tickets and airport transfers included. Tim included a helpful travel packet with non-tourist restaurant recommendations, low-cost excursions and a few key phrases in Portuguese. Overall, Tim delivered excellent value!!

Great Trip Short Notice
Tim did an incredible job planning our spontaneous trip to Maui. With barely a week's notice, we reached out in a bit of a panic—flights were filling up, hotel prices were climbing, and we had no idea where to start. Tim jumped in right away with calm professionalism, a positive attitude, and some serious magic. He found us an amazing beachfront resort in Kaanapali, secured great flight options at a decent rate, and even arranged for a rental car and a few excursions. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, even on super short notice. We’ll definitely use Tim on our next trip!!

Great Experience!
It was great working with Tim to plan our Hawaiian vacation. We never used a travel agent before, but decided to see what an agent could provide. Tim went back and forth with us several times, adjusting the trip until it was exactly what we wanted. He suggested a few things for us to do that we didn’t think of. From now on we’re calling Tim to help us plan every trip we take.
