Testimonials
I just want to say that I really appreciate your attention to my numerous requests. You provide such great customer service! I know that I'm not your only client, but I sure feel like I am.

Tim F. went over and above his line of duty for me and took time on Saturday to adjust hotel dates in Italy because he couldn't get a hold of them on Friday. Tim consistently makes you feel like he is your own personal travel agent with outstanding customer service and attentiveness. He is happy and helpful on the phone and no job is too big.

Fantastic implementation! Very smooth transition for everyone. I never received any complaints from travelers, just compliments. Our travel arrangers said the transition wasn't difficult at all, and they never knew what they weren't getting or having access to before, and feel that they now have strong team support from everyone.

Just a short note to let you know how much we enjoy working with your company, and specifically, Miss Rebecca.
This is my 18th year travelling for business and I must tell you, sincerely, that working with 'Becca has been the most satisfying experience.
She is not only extremely competent and efficient, she is the nicest and hardest working agent I have encountered. She always goes "out of her way" and she prides herself in learning our unique travel habits / preferences and applies that knowledge to "go the extra mile" for us.
I hope this note brings you a smile; it should feel good to know your company is providing outstanding service and has extraordinary employees!
