Only requirement was to show up

Reviewed By KZM - San Francisco, CA | Traveled to Philippines | East and Southeast Asia

Never used a travel agent before, as I used to plan my own stuff. Well, my time is too valuable now so I decided, why not? Solo trip to the Philippines and Indonesia with some island hopping. Found Nick and he said he can take care of everything from start to finish. I just had to show up. Yep! Flights, resorts, tours, and a detailed itinerary of places to check out, restaurants to eat, things to do, all done on a PDF for me. If you want ease and simplicity, just have Nick handle everything for you.

Japan off the beaten path

Reviewed By Michele H - Huntington Beach, CA | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia

We wanted to spend some time away from the typical tourist locations. Nick set up drivers, guides, and hotels that were exactly as requested. At several of our hotels, we were the only Americans. We loved that. All drivers and guides were on time and very easy to connect with. A great trip.

Vegas

Best Vacation

Reviewed By chyy - Philippines | Traveled to Berrima | Australia | Australia & New Zealand

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nick to plan my trip, and I cant recommend him enough! From the moment we started chatting, he was incredibly helpful and attentive. I was a bit overwhelmed with all the options for flights and accommodations, but Nick took the time to understand what I was looking for and tailored suggestions just for me. He found a fantastic flight that worked perfectly with my schedule and even secured a cozy place to stay that was right in the heart of the city. I loved being close to all the sights! Plus, he was always quick to respond to my questions and made the whole process feel seamless. Thanks to Nick, I had a wonderful travel experience without the stress of planning everything myself. If youre looking for someone to help arrange your next getaway, I highly recommend reaching out to him. You wont be disappointed!

Reviewed By AP45 - CA | Traveled to Australia | Australia & New Zealand

Nick put together a great 2-week Australia trip for us. It included jumping crocodiles, rain forest hikes, swimming holes, koala photo ops, freely exploring a nature preserve with wombats and kangaroos, and cultural highlights like the Sydney opera house. We had a great time and felt the price was a good value.

Very good service.

Reviewed By Sue - Mount Vernon, Ohio | Traveled to Tainan | Taiwan | East and Southeast Asia

We used Nick for a couple plane tickets to Taiwan. He was extremely quick at responding, and very knowledgeable. He was also able to speak mandarin Chinese, which was a huge help. Overall his service was incredible, and we will definitely use him again if the opportunity arises.

Fantastic service

Reviewed By SkyBound Wanderer - San Francisco, CA | Traveled to Frankfurt | Germany | Europe

I had a wonderful experience working with Nick. He helped optimize our travel route by making sure we had the appropriate amount of connections sufficient time on stopovers, and great recommendations of airline carriers. I would highly recommend Nick given his vast experience and expertise in the travel industry.

'24 Hawaii Trip

Reviewed By AD2018 - San Francisco | Traveled to Honolulu, Oahu | Hawaii | USA

Nick did a great job on arranging my trip to Honolulu with my girlfriend to visit family and relax. He helped with booking the flight. We ended up using United because it was better cost and timing wise. He arranged for our accomodations at Hilton within walking distance of the beach and it even had a nice view. For entertainment, he arranged for us to be on the Waikiki Bus Tour around the island. It also doubled as a way to hop on and off at certain destinations. We wanted to go to a luau, so he arranged for us to spend a day at the Polynesian Cultural Center. It had all day activities and entertainment that culminated in a luau performance and dinner. It was quite a fun experience for us. Overall, he did a great job in putting this trip together. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a well assembled and memorable trip.

Vacation turned proposal trip!

Reviewed By Ira - California | Traveled to Bali | Indonesia | East and Southeast Asia

Nick was an EXCEPTIONALLY wonderful person to work with as I was planning on proposing to my girlfriend on this trip. Obviously, that meant everything had to go perfectly and Nick made sure of that. From booking our tickets and our stay all the way to a picture-perfect proposal location (Gates of Heaven!), everything he recommended and booked in between was great! Besides that, chatting with Nick is just a good time. Absolutely swell guy, honestly wouldn't mind grabbing a beer or two with him one day!

Unforgettable Siargao Adventure Thanks to Nick!

Reviewed By Bella - Siargao | Traveled to Philippines | East and Southeast Asia

I just returned from an amazing trip to Siargao, and I cant thank Nick enough for his expertise! Coming from the US and having never visited the Philippines, Nick recommended Siargao, and it was the perfect choice. He handled our round-trip ticket booking flawlessly, ensuring we got the best flights that fit our schedule. Nick crafted a fantastic itinerary, including must-visit spots like Cloud 9 for surfing and the stunning lagoons of Sugba and Kawhagan. Our accommodations were perfectly located, making everything easy and enjoyable. His attention to detail and personalized service made the trip hassle-free. If you need a travel agent who excels in ticket booking and planning unforgettable experiences, I highly recommend Nick!
