YYYYY Theresa Murry's Google Review from Client - Scott Allen

Love Theresa!
She has booked us into some of the most memorable vacations we've been on. Including private tours of the Louvre, and Pompeii. Sometimes arranging trips / experiences overseas without a knowledgeable advocate can be daunting. No matter how good at Google you are. Save yourself the grief and call these guys.

RE: Travel with Tess – Excellent Service
 

Hello Diane –

I just want to pass my review onto you. I did post this on Facebook too - but really want you to know how great Tess is!!

I don’t know where to begin. Tess has planned 2 trips for me; one for me alone to Italy for 2 weeks and another just a week ago with my mom to France for 2 weeks. It’s as if Tess read my mind and knew exactly the tours and activities I would love! She really listens to your interests. From spending a day with a chef in Paris to cook our own meal, to beautiful wine and olive tours in Bordeaux, to a private chauffeur in the French Riviera - everything was perfect! She thought of everything and selected great day trips for us (Monet’s home in Giverny, France was amazing!). I will never trust anyone but Tess when it comes to my travels! Thank you Tess! You’re more than just helping me with my travel - you’re helping me create forever memories!!

Thank you!!
Janine Polito

Hello!  We wanted to pass on our appreciation to Alana Wallace for all the care she has taken with us over the years.  Alana has provided expert advice and counsel, and assisted us by planning a cruise, a trip to Ireland, a trip to Mexico, and now a trip to Scotland.  Her attention to detail and reassurance along every step of the way is wonderful!  Alana is a true gem.

Hilarie is the most experienced travel agent I have ever met, she is able to find the most comfortable and organized trip in every part of the world.

Give Hilarie the name of the place you would like to go next and she will organize everything for you to perfection.
 
I am glad I met her many years ego.
 
Thank you Hilarie.
-----------------------

To say Hilarie Brown has been a godsend to us would be an enormous understatement.  In her you have found the perfect person  who dots i's and crosses t's; when traveling internationally this is a must.  She listens, suggests (based on her travel experience), and focuses on you.  Recently she hunted down a reasonable cost for a one-way flight from Europe and this wasn't a first for her.  Direct  interaction I had with an airline was unsuccessful and frustrating as I was given wrong information.

We began doing business with Holiday Cruises after booking directly online just wasn't working well for us.  Chance gave us Hilarie and she was so thorough on our first trip with the agency that we never looked back and book with her several times a year. And will continue to do so as long as we are able to travel.

Hilarie Brown and the rest of the staff at Holiday Cruises and Tours have been planning wonderful personalized cruises and tours for us for around 10-12 years now. Some of their high points are: They are detail oriented. The customer service is superior. And their depth of knowledge of the travel industry pays off by protecting our every move as we tour the world. It is a pleasure to have them do our travel planning. We just booked our 2019 cruise and each trip is better than the last. Thanks to our travel team.

Tess helped us plan a special birthday trip and having her expertise was so beneficial. She was knowledgeable and patient while we went through all the options for our vacation. Our experience while on our trip was so smooth because Tess took care of all the little details. She's professional and resourceful - I will absolutely have her help us plan future vacations.

I am amazed by Tess's amazing ability and how professional and patient she is. I was not an easy client not knowing where we wanted to go but knowing we wanted a special trip for our 25th anniversary. She has an amazing ability at steering people to a destination or hotel which is ideal for each traveler. This is my first experience having a travel agent and most certainly will not be the last. We would love to have her help plan our family reunion too!

Alana was a delight to work with. She was detailed in explaining everything that she planned for us down to the last day. Everything she does is emailed or texted promptly and she responds promptly to any questions asked. She makes sure that she totally understands your wishes, expectations and makes excellent suggestions. She really makes sure that you receive the best prices and benefits. Everything just ran very smoothly. We had the best vacation ever AND we will be using her services for our next vacation.

I would go first to Angelica and the Cruise Masters for help with scheduling a trip. As we do a lot of rather independent traveling, we prefer doing some arrangements ourselves.

Subject: Amazing Family Vacation

Last summer we decided to take our family of 5 to Europe for the first time. We provided Tess general guidelines for where we wanted to go and what we like to do. She came up with an AMAZING itinerary that covered all of the details (hotel, airfare, transfers, tours, etc).  It was wonderful to not have to figure out all of the details.  The trip FAR EXCEEDED our expectations and Tess’s recommendations were spot on for our family!

Hi Hilarie,

I want you to know that I had a fabulous time in Mendoza.  The guide was wonderful and all the places we visited were exceptional.  You made this a memorable trip and I wanted you to know how grateful I am for this amazing experience.  I felt this would be a one-time trip for me but it was so delightful I wish I were going back again – soon!!

Again, thank you for putting together a wonderful adventure.  Best regards to Diane!

Diane, Hillary and everybody at Holiday Cruises and Tours,

My wife, Roselyn and I recently returned from our Mediterranean Cruise with Oceania and we wanted to let you know we had a wonderful time. You definitely helped us to make the right choice and your assistance throughout was indispensable.

The cruise is described as country club casual and I would say that is an apt description. It was fun to have the choice to either dress up or down and choose between elegant dining and casual. Our trip was timed to coincide with our anniversary and it was nice to have the choice to dine at a quiet table for two next to a large window looking out at the view while eating a great meal with fabulous service.

It was also nice to be able to eat outside on the deck in a less formal atmosphere without sacrificing service or the meal.  We took advantage of both.

Our accommodations were first rate even though we selected the less expensive deck. Our room had a veranda and we made good use of it. The staff was the very best and never failed to make an effort to meet our every request.

Thanks again for your recommendation and for your assistance. I would be remiss if I were not to mention the fact that our trip had been planned for the summer before but because of a family emergency it had to be canceled at the last minute. You saved the day by making sure we had travel insurance in place and assisted us in the process of filing our claim which was handled seamlessly. 

Vacations are for relaxing and the entire experience from beginning to end could not have been more hassle free.

Thanks again and a special shout out to Hilarie.

Jon and Roselyn Turak.
