417 Travel: Reviews
Fantastic experience: 417 Travel the s the best place to get your Bucket Vacation done, Brandon Smith was going over all the best deals with out pushing for more money. He was open, friendly and even his fellow agent next to him heard of our idea for another cruise and she said here what they have plans for 2026. Go to them, you won’t be sorry
Dear Bruce, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful experience with Brandon and our team at 417 Travel.

Hearing about your plans for another cruise is exciting, and we're eager to help make your 2026 adventure just as memorable. Should you need further assistance or have any more travel aspirations, don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to ensure every journey tells a story. Thanks again for your kind words and for choosing 417 Travel. We're delighted to have you as a part of our travel family! Warm regards, Travis Paquin
Negative experience: Worst travel agent ever. Not only was communication terrible through the entire process, but they didn’t book the trip on time like they said. So then the promotion through the luxury cruise line expired and they expected US to pay an ADDITIONAL $4k for the trip because they screwed up. Thanks for nothing.
We're genuinely disappointed about the situation with your cruise Hold and want to express our commitment to securing the cruise at the 2024 rates on your behalf. We quickly sent out the authorization for payment via Docusign, with the first being signed by January 1st and the second arriving just outside the 24-hour window on January 2nd. Since these were holds and not finalized transactions, no money was applied, and no fees were charged. Regrettably, despite our team's dedication and working over the holiday, Viking informed us they couldn't honor the 2024 rate due to the expired booking hold. We did everything in our power, including contacting Viking directly and escalating the issue to seek an exception. Unfortunately, Viking provided the following response: "I have gone back and forth with the sales team in escalating this and they cannot retro-apply the promotion on the expired booking hold. I requested a comp upgrade if the guests confirmed the bookings, and that was also denied. The booking will now need to be under the January promotion pricing." We're very disappointed with our partner Viking for not offering any resolution in this case. An important factor was that we were holding a 2024 rate, and offers and rates change in the new year. At 417 Travel, we’re dedicated to ensuring you have the best travel experience. Our team, including our agent who was working during the holiday, is committed to going the extra mile for you! We're constantly learning and improving from each experience. We believe that if both authorizations had been returned at about the same time, we could have avoided this hiccup with the rates.
Negative experience: If it could rate this company lower than a one star I would. My family and I are heartbroken by the loss of a trip of a life time due to poor communication and handling of details by this travel agency. We received confirmation that our documents were received by 417 Travel at 9:49 a.m., however the agency failed to make the reservations with the cruise line within the required time limit. The agent said she would work to fix the problem and call us back. Not only did they NOT call us, but failed to provide a means to fix the problem. The fare sale had lapsed, and we were unable to book the cruise without paying an additional $4,000! A family vacations is a time to build memories together, and this company is not one I would recommend for helping with these special plan.

Fantastic experience: We booked with Mary and she was so helpful from start to finish!
Thank you for your support. Let us know if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I met with Wendy today to book a vacation to Alaska. Wendy was great! Prior to meeting with her she called us and asked questions so she could give us several suggestions based upon our likes and dislikes. Since we did not want to spend several days on a cruise, she found what we believe is going to be the perfect 10 day Alaskan vacation for us! A couple day cruises along with seeing the sites in and around Anchorage, Valdez, Fairbanks and Denali National Park by motor coach and train. Wendy was very personable, detailed, knowledgeable and a joy to visit with!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience! We are delighted to hear that Wendy was able to assist you and tailor the perfect Alaskan adventure to suit your preferences. At 417 Travel, we pride ourselves on personalizing each journey, ensuring it truly reflects the unique desires of our clients.

We hope your vacation will be as magical and memorable as it sounds, with each journey painting a beautiful story. Thank you for choosing 417 Travel. We look forward to hearing all about your experiences when you return!

Fantastic experience: Wendy Nelson is the BEST!! She found a Canadian/ Nova Scotia cruise for us that is a perfect fit for what we were looking for, within a matter of hours. She was very helpful walking us through our options, confirming that we were making good choices for our 11-day cruise. She answered our questions, and was very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: I've never used a travel agent before and was hesitant. But having this excellent experience with Brandon at 417 Travel, I have change my tune. After spending extensive time researching destinations on my own and still feeling uncertain, I reached out to Brandon for assistance. I was thoroughly impressed with his service. Brandon provided honest feedback on the destinations I was considering, sharing insights from his own travel experiences. For destinations he was less familiar with, he candidly acknowledged that, which I greatly appreciated. He was able to secure the same pricing I found on my own but added valuable extras to enhance the experience. I will definitely consider booking with Brandon again in the future, not only for his expertise but also for the personalized service and unbiased recommendations he offers. Thank you, Brandon, and 417 Travel!
Clint, We really appreciate the great feedback. Thank you for your business!

Negative experience: Original post from Daniel Wallace that was removed: I called 417 Travel on December 7, 2023 and inquired about help planning a trip with 7 people. They said someone that specializes in travel to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone would reach out in 24-48 hours. By December 14, 2023 no one had called or emailed. I am guessing that 417 Travel did not want our business. Very Disappointed!! We will gladly take our business elsewhere.
I'm reaching out to see who you may have spoke with. My apologies we did not follow up. We specialize in luxury cruises and international travel. We do have an agent that can help with this kind of trip but it appears we did not follow up. Thank you and safe travels.
Fantastic experience: I just really cannot put into words how nervous I was to book a vacation for my family of 5. We hadn’t been out of the country for a long time and it was our first time taking our 3 kids on an international trip. My husband is picky but also very tight w money. Brandon was so patient in helping me decide. Even after we changed our minds and itinerary several times. He never made me feel like a pain (even though I know i totally was ). He’s traveled himself to many of the resorts and it was just SO SO SO helpful to book w him. I almost tried to book everything on my own but it was just so overwhelming… Brandon made it so easy and it cost a little less than everything I had priced on my own before deciding to try an agent. Save yourself the headache and give them a call!
Thank you Cheyenne. We understand how stressful planning family travel can be. We appreciate your support!
Fantastic experience: Mary was wonderful to work with!! My husband and I booked our honeymoon to Puerto Rico and she made the process very smooth! We had a great time and will definitely reach out to her for future vacations!
Thank you for the feedback and support!
Fantastic experience: MARY KIM IS THE BEST!!!!!!! I reached out to 417 Travel to get more info and help on booking our upcoming honeymoon and I was connected with Mary Kim. She has been the absolute best and so easy to work you. All we did was tell her where we wanted and our price range and she found THE PERFECT destination and resort. I will ALWAYS recommend Mary and the 417 Travel team.
Thank you for your support and great feedback about Mary!!
Fantastic experience: Our travel group has used Brandon at 417 Travel several times for our island trips, he always goes above and beyond to make sure we have a great experience, he is the best! When you travel, use 417!
Allen we really appreciate all your support! Thank You.
Fantastic experience: Well my wife and I just booked our trip to Mexico with Brandon. Let me say this is our first time traveling outside the US and Brandon could not have made it any easier. After just two meetings we were able to pick where and when we wanted to go. Brandon was so great to work with highly recommended.
Thank you for your support. Let us know if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: Amity was fun to work with and did an amazing job coordinating travel to the Dominican Republic for my work family! We loved Secrets Royal Beach, Punta Cana. Amity even came to our office to provide travel/resort tips for all of us prior to our departure. We would definitely work with Amity and 417 Travel again.
Thank You Amy, We love that resort. We appreciate your support.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend 417 Travel for anyone planning to take a trip! We went this morning to book our trip and can not say enough about what a great experience this has been! Brandon and his team went above and beyond to answer all of our questions! They made the whole booking experience super easy and took the stress out of trying to figure out how to get everything and everyone in our group accommodated! I will definitely be using 417 Travel for future vacations!
Thank you Gerona! We appreciate the great feedback and your support of 417 Travel. Please let us know if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: Lily was awesome. I started my planning a year ago. Lily understood what I wanted, my budget and my dream for a family vacation. She helped all along the way. She checked on me after we left and help with my concern about an excursion. She was awesome. Loved working with 417 Travel.
Thank you so much for your support! Let us know when you're ready for the next adventure.
Fantastic experience: Mary Kim was amazing!! If you decide take a vacation, choose her!! Our flight with spirit was cancelled and we had to change dates and she was quick with getting our reservations changed. She was on it from start to finish and even after we got home, she checked to see how our party went. She responds so quickly and was soooo helpful with our reservations! There was 7 of us that went to Cabo and it was amazing!! RIU Santa Fe was so much fun!! The resort itself was a little older but rooms newly remodeled. So many pools and the parties are LIT!!!! RIU Palace is a little nicer and aesthetically very pleasing. If you stay at the Palace you can go to the Santa Fe but not the other way around. We also used Cabo Sailing for our Yacht rental which was amazing and cheap. They had sushi, meats/chesses, quesadillas, and other snacks. All-in-all, we had a blast!! Thanks again Mary Kim for making it so easy and seemless.
Thank your for the great feedback. We appreciate your support. I loved all the pics! Cabo is wonderful!
Fantastic experience: I was booking for a total of 7 people so I needed my information to be separated so it can be easy to track everyone’s total amounts. They made it so easy! Mary Kim did wonderful in helping me with the process! I will definitely be utilizing 417 Travel in the future!
Thank you Krystal! We appreciate the kind words. We can't wait until the next one.
Fantastic experience: Working with Brandon has been an absolute breeze! Within 24 hours, we had our entire trip booked!

Troy, Thank you for the great review and the Pics. They were awesome. We appreciate your support!
Fantastic experience: Mary was fantastic and we’re so thankful for her!! We unfortunately had major delays with getting our passports (not her fault), but Mary worked VERY quickly to find us something else. Two days before we were suppose to go on vacation, she was able to change our location within US territory, so we could still have a vacation! We told her our budget, how long we wanted to stay and the area/vibe we wanted and she just sent us an easy list of places with pictures, prices and flights! She kept everything within our budget, including our flights, staying in a hotel for our flights, and the actual vacation. All transportation- to and from, was set up too.The location we chose in Puerto Rico was perfect for us and we had so much fun. Definitely will be be booking again with Mary and 417 travel, they’re the absolute best!
We are so happy Mary was able to pull this together for you. We appreciate your support.
Fantastic experience: We just booked our second vacation through 417 Travel and Brandon was amazing both times! He answered all of our questions, listened to what we wanted and what we didn’t care for, and helped us pick the perfect resort. He made everything so simple and took care of all the details so we didn’t have to worry about anything. These are some pictures from our first vacation with 417 Travel, in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic!
Thank you for your support
Fantastic experience: Brandon and his team treated us like family. Took the time to give us all the information that we needed to make a decision. What an amazing person. he is our go to guy from now on.
Thanks for your support Hank!
Fantastic experience: We have been using CJ Crow for years. She’s the best! Listens to what you want, finds the best places and gets you booked! From Mexico to Dominican and London she has booked it all for us!
Thank you, Heather. We appreciate your support.
Fantastic experience: Very pleased with our experience thus far. They, unlike another agency, actually answer their phones! So helpful both on the phone and in person. We worked with Amity to book a cruise tour for 2024. She explained everything in detail and was very thorough. Based on our preliminary experience, I highly recommend them! Just booked a second cruise with Amity for 6 people. Wow, she is wonderful to work with! Can't say enough good things about our experience with her!
Thank you for your support
Fantastic experience: We got our honeymoon packages very quickly and as soon as we decided, Brandon was ready to book us. He did all the heavy lifting and we just told him what we wanted. Definitely made the planning and experience a lot easier and stress-free!

Thank you for your support Michael. Let us know if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: Wow! That's all we can say right now. We just booked a week in the Riviera Maya. Brandon Smith was amazing to work with. I had contacted him with what we were looking for, as a family of 4 with a teenager and a pre-teen. He promptly sent us a list of properties in both the Dominican Republic and Mexico. We were planning on booking in the Dominican but when we took our girls in to meet him and talk about our trip, he found us an incredible resort within our budget, that appears to be amazing!! We can't wait until November!! Thank you Brandon and 417 Travel!!
Thank You Dr. Lentz and family! We appreciate your support. Let us know if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: Deanna Caywood at 417 Travel was invaluable in planning and booking my first ever European river boat cruise. The cost came in under budget and the experience exceeded all my expectations! Highly recommend!
Misty, Thank you for the feedback and the wonderful pics! We appreciate your support!
Fantastic experience: Shoutout to our agent Courtney Tapken for planning all the details of our belated honeymoon to ElDorado Palms in Riviera Maya. The trip was flawless and the resort did not disappoint. Travis and Michelle bent over backwards to ensure we were treated with VIP status! We had so much fun that we’ve already booked another trip back this fall. Highly recommend 417 Travel! They take the hassle out of planning your next vacation. Thank you!
Thank you so much Kristy. Cant wait until the next one!
Fantastic experience: Brandon was so helpful in picking out a resort and making sure it was close to the activities we want to enjoy on our trip. He was very responsive and thorough. Everything was fantastic! Great resort, pools, entertainment, sunsets and food! We loved the excursions that we picked! Snorkeling, beach massages, the adrenaline tour - best zip line and white water rapids we’ve ever done! We also did a private tour of the rainforest - saw a 6 month old sloth, swimming in the waterfall, mud bath, and hot springs. Highly recommend Costa Rica and Brandon!
Thank you so much Beth. We really appreciate your support. We can't wait until the next adventure.
Fantastic experience: This was the trip of a lifetime for us. Courtney Tapken, our 417 Travel agent was upbeat and congenial as she listened to our ideas and requirements for our trip and found exactly what we wanted. We enjoyed every aspect of the resort, Secrets Akumal: service, amenities, activities, and especially the dining choices - all of the things Courtney had assured us of. We will definitely work with 417 Travel when we plan our next trip!
Barbara, thank you for the great feedback on Courtney and Secrets Akumal. It is one of our favorites! Until the next adventure.
Fantastic experience: Wow! What a vacation! Amity did a fantastic job of covering our trip details. Travis and Michelle knocked the extras out of the park! If you want agents that will work to make it your best vacation experience this is the group to check out! Thanks again for hosting a wonderful group trip of strangers that felt like long-time friends by the end of the trip!
We had so much fun! Thank you for your support. Let's do it again!
Fantastic experience: Brandon has been very helpful and patient with us . He was very thorough and knowledgeable . We told him what we were looking for and he gave us great options to choose from. We are looking forward to our trip and working with Brandon and 417 travel for future trips
Thank you for the feedback Rob. Let us know if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: We just booked our 3rd trip through 417 travel yesterday and I’m so excited!!!!! The first was our honeymoon in 2020, the second was a quiet little weekend getaway before we started our IVF process in 2021, and this trip will be our first FAMILY TRIP in 2023!!!! Brandon and the whole 417 travel team are always amazing and we will never work with anyone else. We brought our 8 month old twins with us to the appointment and the whole office was so sweet with them! We are so excited for our next trip and excited to show our kids the world!! Thank you!
We love you Amber, Cody and Family! I wish we could book a trip every week so we could see them beautiful twin girls! We truly appreciate all your support over the years! Big Hugs.
Negative experience: Literally could have booked the trip myself. Received no recommendations on things to do or see and when I asked, I received my itinerary again with a very rude email attached. When I asked for help with some insurance information for issues we encountered on the trip, I again was on my own. This was supposed to have been a once in a lifetime vacation, and was hoping for help with planning. I literally had to research everything myself. The agent told me they had never personally been there and could not help me on things to do or see. Would definitely recommend just booking the trip yourself if they are your only option. Will not use them again and would recommend shopping around before booking with anyone. Could go on and on but won't. Yes, You did contact me. After your "escalation" we received two checks of $18.47. I was charged for the hotel and car in the package I purchased and was not reimbursed for them for the day we missed. Additionally, for the record, we did not go to Oahu, we went to Kauai.
Jeff, I've actually spoke to you and emailed you a few times. To say you've been on your own is not accurate. I own the company and I've personally been in communication with you. When we spoke, I agreed we missed some pre-travel communication. The agent has been coached on this. I've been following up on your insurance claim personally. I have an email where I've escalated this for you. I'm confused you did not know "what to do in Hawaii" we have notes below from when you called in. This was before you booked your trip that shows you wanted to do the tours below??? Oahu MUST sees: Pearl Harbor Dole Plantation Luau Big Island MUST sees: Black sand volcano helicopter waterfall luau We wish you the best.
Fantastic experience: 417 Travel has booked 3 of my last vacations and I just had my best one yet! Travis is always very responsive and provides great selections of resorts to choose from. He coordinated private transportation and provided excursions to review ahead of time. Best of all, the perk of a candle light dinner on the beach was the highlight of our trip! Thank you 417 Travel for getting us back to traveling again! :)
Jenna, We're so happy to help. We really appreciate your support, referrals and all the great vacations we've been able to be a small part of!
Fantastic experience: Amity and Travis did an awesome job arranging a last minute trip to Germany and Italy. The company they booked transfers between airports, hotels, and rail stations was top notch. The accommodations they booked for us were excellent. We would use them for future travel.
We really appreciate your support.
Fantastic experience: I have been planning our 50th anniversary celebration and had become frustrated with agencies in my area. I found 417 Travel online and was impressed with their experience and recognition as Missouri's Best Travel Agency for 3 years. It was obvious that Travis Paquin was very knowledgeable but he was also very personable. He really listened to our preferences and the challenges we face, then suggested a different destination that was better suited to us than the one we had in mind. Brandon Smith has also been very attentive and helpful, promptly responding to my questions and keeping us informed. I feel confident that I am in good hands, and that they will help make this special occasion the trip of a lifetime.
We really appreciate your support. We hope you have an amazing 50th anniversary. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Brandon was absolutely excellent, he made booking our honeymoon a breeze. Within an hour he had a location picked and helped us get everything booked. He was very helpful and great at finding a place that met our needs. This was by far the easiest vacation planning process I’ve ever done.
We really appreciate your support. Let us know if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: We called Brandon at 417 Travel to get information about a group trip. Brandon answered all our questions and added additional information. He thoroughly explained everything. The booking and deposit process was seamless, easy, and efficient. Could not have asked for anymore. Great experience!
Thank you, Andy. Let us know if you need anything. We appreciate your support.
Fantastic experience: Brandon helped us plan our trip. He is the best! So patient with everything we wanted and all our questions. We highly recommend.
Thank you for the feedback Jennifer. We appreciate your support.
Fantastic experience: Krystyn made booking our honeymoon super easy! She was friendly, provided great options, and communicated in a timely manner. As a young couple, having the option to pay monthly ahead of time was a huge plus! We can’t wait for our honeymoon next September!
Congratulations! Let us know if you need anything. We appreciate your support and the feedback on Krystyn.
Fantastic experience: Coutney Tapken @ 417 travel was amazing. My birthday vacation was beyond what I could have expected. We stayed at Secrets The Vine. Everything was taken care of from our flights to room and excursions. The staff at Secrets is next level. I would highly recommend Courtney if you want someone who is professional and detail oriented.
Thank You so much for your support and feedback. Michelle also wanted to thank you for the flowers. Until the next adventure.
Fantastic experience: Brandon was great. He took time to show us many options for our honeymoon. He was very knowledgeable about the two areas we were interested in going and helped us narrow down where we wanted to be. He never made us feel rushed in any decisions and took time to know us to help make a big decision. Thank you . We are so excited to go. We couldn't have gotten it all done without you.
Thank you so much for your support and the great feedback.
Fantastic experience: My first time traveling out of the country and I could not be more pleased with the experience. Amity was amazing to work with, she answered all of my questions and went above and beyond what was asked of her. We had an amazing destination, Dominican Republic, most defiantly will be going through 417 Travel, using Amity with all of my future trips.
Thank you so much Alicia! We appreciate your support!
Fantastic experience: My fiancé and I had no idea where to start when it came to planning our honeymoon. A coworker told me about 417 Travel and how easy they made the planning/booking process so we decided to start there! From the beginning Brandon Smith made it so easy on us!! He listened to what we wanted, our budget and answered all of our questions! He sent us many options to choose from, all of which were beautiful and in price range! We simply cannot wait for our trip to Iberostar Grand Paraiso in October!!! Thank you so much Brandon for all of your help and guidance during this process. You really helped ease our minds!
Thank you so much Kyndra. That is one of my favorite resorts. Congratulations. We appreciate your support.
Fantastic experience: I was fortunate to work with Brandon in the past, and even more so recently. He listens to what I am asking, and builds the plan based on the criteria that we prioritize. He is so knowledgeable and experienced that he answers all my questions, and patiently shared knowledge about what we might be interested in, but do not know to ask about. Brandon has the ability to facilitate the planning with communication and conscientiousness and respect, that in my experience is a rare find. Thank you Brandon, and the 417 Travel team for making the planning parts of our trips so wonderful. It’s been my honor to be able to work with consummate professionals!
Thank you Keith. We appreciate your support.
Fantastic experience: Brandon was amazing! We had no idea where we wanted to go when we started the process. He asked all the right questions to help us narrow down our search. Once we found the place, he worked diligently to find us dates that worked. He stayed within the budget and did not try to over sell us. He made sure to explore all the options available.. He was quick to respond and was very helpful in answering all of our questions. We are looking forward to our trip! And we have a peace of mind knowing he will be there if we need anything! Highly recommend Brandon ad 417 Travel.
Thank you so much for the great review and the kind feedback. We appreciate your support. Let us know if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: We sat down with Travis and he showed us several options for resorts. We wanted a family friendly resort on Spring break for my Daughters Bday. He did a awesome recommendation at the Iberostar Mayan resort. He planned and arranged everything. From the private car at the airport to the excursions we went on. He even warned us don’t talk to to timeshare people at the airport and left details about checking in and what to expect. He walked us through the paperwork for Covid and passports. Travis also continue to email us with updates about our trip before our departure. Thanks Travis
Ken, I loved seeing the pics of your girls enjoying the Riviera Maya. We truly appreciate your support. I am so happy you had a great trip. Until the next adventure.
Fantastic experience: Brandon has been helping us book our honeymoon trip. So far things are great! He's recommended several amazing ideas that will help make it a trip full of memories
Congratulations Jill, We appreciate your support.
Fantastic experience: Brandon from 417 Travel has been so helpful in planning my daughter’s college graduation trip to Mexico this coming May! We have had some family issues arise that Brandon has been very patient and helpful in dealing with, always available to answer my many questions, and just overall pleasant to work with. We are all excited for this much needed family getaway!
Thank you so much for your support. We appreciate your business.
Fantastic experience: Brandon Smith gave us an amazing experience in Costa Rica! My wife and I have not traveled much so we had a lot of (usually ridiculous) questions. Brandon was very quick to respond and was very patient. He made the planning of our trip so simple that we can't wait to book our next adventure. The highlight of our Costa Rican vacation was hand feeding the white faced Capuchin monkeys down by the beach every morning. Thanks again Brandon for all the memories.
Thank you for the great feedback. Until the next adventure.
Fantastic experience: 417 travel is a great travel company and they do a fantastic job listening to your needs and helping you figure out the vacation is best for you. I have personally known Travis and Michelle for many many years and they do a great job with great customer service.
Thank you for all your support over the years!
Fantastic experience: My family and I used 417 to help plan my son's graduation trip for July 2022. During the process, I made several different requests and changes that would have annoyed and frustrated me if I was the agent in charge. However, our agent, Courtney Tapken, was amazing!. She was responsive, flexible, and accommodating. She helped us book what we anticipate to be an incredible trip to an all inclusive resort in Jamaica. Thank you Courtney for taking all the hassle out of trip planning. I highly recommend 417 Travel and especially Courtney for your vacation needs.
Mike we are so happy you came to us. We appreciate all your support and we look forward to the next adventure.
Fantastic experience: We recently used 417 Travel to book our vacation to Cancun, Mexico. Courtney was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process! Her timely responses and wealth of information and knowledge truly helped us feel great about our plans and know that everything was taken care of and worry free on our part. Highly recommend! We will definitely use them for all of our future vacations.
Thank you for the great feedback and your support of 417 Travel. We can't wait to help you with your next adventure.
Fantastic experience: Brandon did a great job helping us plan our Hawaii vacation. He was very patient with us as we changed our minds a couple of times!! Great people to work with and I plan on using them again soon..
Mahalo. We really appreciate the great feedback. Until the next adventure.
Fantastic experience: We were referred to 417 Travel by friends and so happy we followed through. Brandon was so friendly and informative and willing to go the extra mile to answer all our questions. We booked a trip to Mexico and our itinerary and all paperwork was sent to my email immediately. All the staff were very kind and helpful. I plan on booking our next vacation through 417 Travel and recommend everyone to do so. You won't regret it.
Thank you so much. We are grateful for your support of 417 Travel. Let us know if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: Krystyn is the absolute best! She booked our honeymoon, and it was nothing short of amazing. We can't wait to continue to work with her on our future trips. She goes above and beyond every time I ask to get pricing... even when I ask her to get pricing for way too many places! Krystyn deserves a raise! She is amazing!
Samantha we are so excited that you had an amazing honeymoon. We appreciate your support and lobbying for Krystyns raise : )
Fantastic experience: Krystyn was amazing!!! We had the very best vacation at an amazing resort. We were wined and dined the entire time. My boyfriend ended up testing positive for COVID while there. She handled everything for us... rebooking a flight, airport transportation, everything at the resort. We didn't have to worry about anything. Would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you for a great vacation! We can't wait to go back!
Thank you so much Amber! We appreciate your support. Until the next adventure.
Fantastic experience: We decided to take a Christmas vacation at the last minute. Brandon did all the leg work for us and it was super easy. They will take care of absolutely everything for you. If you are looking for a travel agency this is the best place ever!! Thanks again Brandon
We appreciate all your support.
Fantastic experience: We worked with Brandon! When trying to figure our honeymoon we had no idea where we could go with our budget and was confused and overwhelmed. We really wanted to go out of the country and he showed us all of the possibilities. He made booking our honeymoon 100% easier. He broke everything down and got us everything we wanted for us. Such as a beachfront room, going out of the country, and seeing the surrounding culture, and of course a honeymoon package,. He also booked our flights for us. We didn't spend a anything with his help with booking either. So we had free help with booking our dream honeymoon. I 100% recommend!
Thank you Hanna. We are so happy you had a great experience with us.
Fantastic experience: Amity Dobbs was very friendly, personable, professional and responsive to our questions. We enjoyed our in person meeting with her. She answered all questions we threw at her. The trip we booked for 6 to the Dominican was hassle free. We were able to upgrade and still get our vacation at a very reasonable price. We will definitely use her again.
Debby, we appreciate your support. Enjoy and let us know if you need anything. Thank You.
Negative experience: So where to start, first of all we were misinformed on how the credits were not actual credits but coupons. This did not allow us to really do many of the things advertised for us to do. Then the hotel itself did not upgrade our room to a king bed but instead two full beds pushed together on our honeymoon no less. We did not receive our gift nor our bottle of rum. Then the flights we were booked had us sitting separate seats and on the return flight they booked us ended up having a 6 hour layover when we could have had earlier flights that would have had us back home before midnight. Instead we got to our final airport the next day at 1214 in the morning requiring we drive 3 hours home after being awake all day the day prior. Honestly I have booked my own flights and travel accommodations cheaper than they did and with way more comfort than what they offered.
Thank you Mr. Woodrum for your feedback as our clients experience is our #1 priority. As stated in the email you received to address your concerns, we do not sell resort credits, this is something that is offered to you by the hotel and the explanation of how to use them were in your reservation details. We will address the two full beds pushed together with the hotel, as well as your amenties you should have received with your honeymoon package. Unfortunately we are not in control of scheduled airline changes, this was not the orginial flight our agent had you on. We appreciate your feedback on your travel experience. Our client's experience is something we take very seriously. If it's a communication gap or if something happens that's out of our control, we always want to do best by our clients.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I used 417 Travel to book our honeymoon and can’t recommend them enough! Courtney was very professional and knowledgeable! She answered every question in a timely manner and provided us with useful information and helpful tips! We went to Secrets Riviera Cancun (formerly Breathless) and felt like royalty thanks to Courtney! We are already looking at 417 Travel’s website to determine our next adventure!
Congratulations and thank you for your support.
Fantastic experience: To date I have used 417 Travel on three occasions to arrange and manage my subsequent trips to Europe. I haven’t used another travel agency for comparison and it's highly unlikely that I would since I’m happy with the superior level of service I continue to receive from 417 Travel. My October, 2021 trip to Greece was fabulous and trouble-free. Courtney was my travel advisor and made sure everything was in order. Thank You Courtney and 417 Travel.
Thank you for your feedback and support of 417 Travel. Until the next adventure.
Fantastic experience: Brandon Smith met our group before business hours with no hesitation and was very informative and helpful in finding a resort that met all our requirements. I was also impressed with his almost immediate response to a question I texted him. The trip is still in the future, so I can’t speak to that yet, but so far I am very happy with 417!
This is what we like to hear. Let us know if you need anything. We appreciate your support.
Fantastic experience: Brandon has been amazing to work with! My boyfriend and I came in yesterday wanting to find the perfect luxury all-inclusive within a certain budget and he truly outdid himself. And not even 24 hours later, we are booked at the most amazing resort & we are already counting down the days until we can put our toes in the sand We can't thank him enough for his professionalism, work ethic & travel knowledge!
Thank you Christine. We're so happy you reached out to us.
Fantastic experience: Courtney has patiently navigated my husband and I through our first all-inclusive vacation like a champ! She is wonderful to work with! We've had so many questions and some issues with our passports and she helped us every step of the way with prompt, professionalism. We're very happy we used Courtney @ 417 Travel! I'm sure we will be vacationing with her at the lead again!
Thank you so much Lisa. We appreciate your support.
Fantastic experience: We were going to plan our trip ourselves but decided to talk to travel agent. GLAD WE DID. Brandon at 417 TRAVEL gave us tremendous insight on all aspects of our trip. Now we can start enjoying the thought of the trip instead of stressing over the actual traveling details. Brandon was very professional and friendly and we are 100% satisfied with 417Travel. All this and we did not pay a penny more then we would have if we had self-booked!!
Thank you for reaching out to us. We appreciate your support.
Fantastic experience: 417 Travel was an absolute breeze to work with. My fiancé and I decided to plan a last minute honeymoon only 2 weeks before our wedding date. We called 417 Travel and they had time for us to come in right away. We came in that day and Brandon helped us find our dream honeymoon at prices we didn’t think were possible. Brandon’s expertise and fun personality made it a super enjoyable experience, and all the travel planning anxiety is gone now that we know we are in good hands. He showed all all of the options close to our budget, gave us insider information about each of the resorts based off his own experience, and helped find a resort that was catered to our own preferences. Within a few hours of calling 417Travel we had a dream honeymoon picked out, booked and paid for. I couldn’t recommend 417 Travel enough.
Thank you and Congratulations
Fantastic experience: We have never used a travel agency for a family vacation before, and I didn't know what to expect. After our wonderful experience with 417 Travel - specifically with Krystyn Badley - we will DEFINITELY be using (and recommending!) this agent and agency in the future. From the first conversation Krystyn and I had back in January to book our family vacation, I felt immediately relieved that we had a travel agent who could find us the best deal (way better than what I was able to find on my own), could offer us quality travel insurance, and who could find out the answers to my many questions, especially in regard to traveling during 2021. There are too many positives to mention about Krystyn, so I'll only highlight a few. First and foremost, she worked with our group of 8 (two families of 4) to get us a deal to a tropical location that was within budget and hit all of our "wants" in an all-inclusive. She went above and beyond to answer our questions, reassure us about the investment of travel insurance, and keep in touch with us about any changes, especially in regard to safety during the pandemic. Because of Covid and a few unexpected resort re-opening challenges, we recently found out through customer reviews and some digging that Krystyn did on our behalf that our originally-planned resort would not be what we had hoped. Krystyn patiently and quickly worked with us to create new options. Because of Krystyn (and the fantastic-ness that is Travel Insurance), we were able to switch our travel plans to an alternative resort/place at our same travel dates. We haven't yet taken our vacation, but we feel confident it will be a wonderful experience. Krystyn also gave us a way to contact her during our vacation in case we run into any problems. This kind of customer-service cannot be beat. When you have limited time to travel and spend so much money on that travel, you definitely want it to be a good experience. Going through a travel agency for this vacation has already proven to be our best decision. This review is not about our vacation specifically because we have not yet travelled, but I wanted to give a huge shout-out to Krystyn for working so hard for our family to plan this vacation.
Thank you so much Jennifer. We're so happy we were able to help.
Fantastic experience: I wanted to give a huge shout out to Brandon with 417 Travel for helping me plan my honeymoon. He provided me with a lot of great options and helped me narrow it down by walking me through each resort. He was upfront with everything so there were no surprise fees. He never tried to up-sale me. He just recommended the best spots but left it completely up to me to choose even if it was the cheapest. He worked hard to find the best deals for the resort I chose. So if you're looking for someone to help you plan the perfect honeymoon or vacation, hit up my man Brandon with 417 Travel. I am confident that I will be leaving a positive review after my honeymoon in March 2022!
Thank you so much. Congratulations! You will have a wonderful experience. You will love Cap Cana.
