Fantastic experience: My husband, Kevin, and I just returned from an incredible 10-night cruise in the Southern Caribbean, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the outstanding service we received from Brian and Chima Travel. This trip was a rescheduled vacation after a Mediterranean cruise in 2023 fell through due to missed flights. For that trip, I had used a different travel agent, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. As an unexperienced cruiser, my friend and I felt like the agent was only interested in selling us the cruise rather than genuinely helping us prepare. When our flights were canceled at midnight in July 2023 due to airline issues, we realized we had never even had a conversation or received any guidance on what to do in such a situation. It was an incredibly stressful and frustrating experience. Determined to have a better experience for this rescheduled trip, I came across Chima Travel—and am so glad I did. From the very beginning, Brian provided top-notch service and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was covered. His patience in answering all of our questions was truly remarkable, and his friendly and energetic personality made the entire planning process an absolute pleasure. Prior to our departure, we received a detailed packet with everything we needed—flight and hotel printouts, trip insurance details, emergency contacts, and even laminated luggage tags. When we faced potential flight issues a few days before the cruise, Brian was also right there to talk through all the options. He reassured me with his calm and confident approach, which made all the difference in keeping stress levels low and helped me make a sound decision. We also truly appreciated Brian’s expert guidance when choosing our cruise. He provided thoughtful recommendations that gave us valuable insights, and every suggestion he made helped us make informed choices that led to an amazing vacation. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and personable travel advisor who truly cares about his clients, Brian and Chima Travel are an excellent choice. Thank you so much, Brian, for your outstanding service—you have earned customers for life! : )

Chima Travel

Dear Kristy, Wow! This absolutely made my day! Kevin and you were such a joy to work with, and I’m beyond thrilled that your Southern Caribbean cruise was everything you hoped for (and more)! I know how frustrating your previous experience was, so it truly means the world to hear that you felt supported and stress-free this time around. Helping travelers feel confident and prepared is one of the big goals of our agency and I’m grateful we could help you enjoy your well-deserved vacation. Thank you for your kind words and for trusting me with such a special trip. It was an absolute pleasure working with you two ✈️ Thanks so much for this review! Sincerely, -Brian and the Chima Travel Team

Fantastic experience: Brain helped us plan an amazing Italy trip. Good recommendations for excursions, hotels in convenient areas for walking to attractions, and he constructed just the itinerary I was looking for but too overwhelmed to plan alone. Great response time to any questions we had during the planning process. He helped us feel organized and prepared. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him when planning our next trip. Thanks again Brian!

Fantastic experience: Will planned my honeymoon in Scotland and he was amazing! The process was so smooth -- all I had to do was book my flights, and he even found the best one for me beforehand. There was an issue with one of our tours being in the wrong language, and I didn't notice it until the day before we left. I emailed Will and it was fixed the next day! I will definitely be reaching out to Chima Travel again for our future trips.

Chima Travel

Rachel, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with Will and Chima Travel! It sounds like your honeymoon in Scotland was everything you hoped for, and I’m thrilled that Will made the planning process so smooth for you.

Fantastic experience: Robin did an excellent job arranging our UK Cruize. She planned everything down to the last detail. Robin was easy to work with, flexible with any changes we requested and always available.. i was hospitalized in France and upon returning home needed to file lots of paperwork with the travel insurance, AON. Brian Chima was invaluable going through that process. He was helpful filing the documents and phone calls to the insurance company. I would highly recommend this company

George Louvis 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I've never been crazy about traveling. For the past 30 years when I have had to travel it's been for work and the company paid for, planned and ran my trip. All I had to do was wait for my ride to the airport or my wife made all my plans. The last time I took a flight on my own was a People's Express flight. (yes I'm THAT old) and that was from Newark Airport. So being new to the area and needing to travel to Arizona by myself for a family event had me a little nervous. I decided to talk to Brian at Chima Travel and gave him a list of my 'preferences' and 'deal breakers'. I let him know about my anxiety about this trip and my limited budget. Even with all my crazy issues, he got me a great flight well within my budget and took care of everything. Although I was traveling alone and a little nervous I knew if I had questions Brian was right there with an answer. He made it so easy that I actually enjoyed the trip and feel that I will be doing some more traveling soon. (Maybe escape the Ohio winter for a week or so). Oh, and if you're wondering... I did meet a few other family members in Arizona and even using a travel agent, I got the BEST price on my flight by far. I saved about 30% over what I would have spent booking myself and what my family members spent booking their own flights. I cannot say enough about Brian and the team at Chima Travel. They take the worry out of traveling and let you relax and enjoy your trip. Highly recommended. Thank you Chima Travel!!!

Chima Travel

Dear George, Wow, thank you so much for your amazing feedback! I'm really glad to hear that we could ease your nerves and help make your trip to Arizona a success. It's so rewarding to know that even with the challenges of traveling alone after so long, you felt supported and well taken care of. Helping people feel confident and comfortable with their travel plans is exactly what we're here for and I'm so proud of you FOR MAKING THE TRIP! YOU DID GREAT! Thank you for trusting me and the team at Chima Travel, and for sharing such a detailed review. It really means a lot to me! Sincerely, -Brian and the Chima Travel Team

Lisa Horgan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We used Chima travel for our 25th wedding anniversary trip to Hawaii. We worked with Brian who was a complete whiz when it came to planning our trip. We did three islands, two rental cars, and a number of excursions. Brian worked within our budget and was very thorough every step of the way. His organization and communication were outstanding! We received a booklet just before our trip outlining everything in chronological order. He did not miss a detail! Having that was so helpful and we looked at it every day. Our flight home was cancelled by the airlines and we looked in the booklet and it told us exactly what to do. We are grateful we had the opportunity to work with an outstanding travel agent on a trip like this! Thank you Brian and Chima Travel!!!

Chima Travel

Aloha Lisa! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are thrilled to hear that your 25th wedding anniversary trip to Hawaii was a memorable and enjoyable experience. We're so glad to hear you found the trip to be well-organized. It’s great to know that the booklet was helpful, especially during the unexpected flight cancellation.

Fantastic experience: Brian and the team at Chima Travel did an excellent job helping us plan and execute our 18-day trip to Spain and Portugal this June. To get started, Brian asked what our goals were for the trip. Then, based on his experience, Brian provided suggestions for an itinerary.

This was our second experience partnering with Brian and Chima Travel... it will not be the last.

Fantastic experience: Brian & Teri put together a wonderful honeymoon for us (Mediterranean Cruise). Everything went according to plan with minimal issue, our flights worked out perfectly with little time at connections, the cruise ship/staff were great, everything was up to par! The only thing I would have done differently is pack less so I could buy more clothes on the trip.

Chima Travel

Elizabeth, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that your Mediterranean Cruise honeymoon was everything you hoped for and more. It's great to know that the flights, cruise ship, and staff all met your expectations. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and many more wonderful trips ahead! Warm regards, Brian & Teri

Fantastic experience: Brian at Chima Travel is EXCELLENT!! He is so responsive and thorough. If he is busy, Robin is quick to answer a question. The amount of detail that went into our trip to Portugal and Spain was huge on their part. Brian prepared a folder of every detail that we would need while traveling. It was immensely helpful. We didn't have one glitch and we traveled by plane, train and rented a car. Fabulous company. Fun to work with!

Chima Travel

Lynn, I'm so grateful for your review; this means so much and gives me and my team such a boost of encouragement! I'm so happy your trip to Portugal and Spain was a success and that you took note of the preparation of your trip as well as the folder.

Gregg Mervis 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: From our first conversation and then all of the recommendations from that point forward Brian and the Chima team created such a memorable 10 day trip to Paris for our family. Brian made sure he knew what "we" wanted to do and the pace that worked for us. We had the time of our life, and through his connections in Paris all of tours and special arrangements were timed and in place, from skip the line to seats on the window for the dinner cruise and the best tour guide at the Louvre that one could imagine. Reminders of each activity were on our e-mail as we awoke each morning. We couldn't have asked for more. Merci Brian

Chima Travel

Bonjour Gregg! and thank you SO much for this amazing review! We feel honored to receive it and are so grateful for the opportunity to help you and your family with this trip. I'm thrilled to hear the trip was memorable and you enjoyed the arrangements in Paris.

Fantastic experience: Chima Travel went above and beyond for our recent trip to Europe. Our agent Robin could not have worked harder to make sure every aspect of our trip went well, even on items that were, strictly speaking, not items that she handled directly. Unfortunately one of the people we were traveling with became ill and had to be hospitalized in France. Robin and Brian did a masterful job of not only coordinating the early departure from the ship and all subsequent details with the Cruise line, Princess, but also all other items necessary for our friend to get home to Texas. My wife and I can strongly recommend Chima Travel for your travel needs.

Ann Carter 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I'm sitting here reminiscing on two family trips to Europe and realized I never left the google review that I had planned to do. Our family cannot say enough about the vacations planned by Brian at Chima Travel. We took our first overseas vacation in 2016. A friend of ours highly recommended Brian so we called him. We sat down with Brian and told him what we wanted to do and with his vast knowledge of traveling overseas, we planned a most wonderful trip for our family to London, Dublin, and Zurich. Last year I wanted to go back to Ireland and London in celebration of a milestone birthday. We met with Brian and once again he planned the most amazing trip for us. Brian arranged a private tour of the Ireland coast and accommodations for our family of 4 and it was absolutely life changing. Henry was our tour guide and he was truly our best friend for 5 days--he was extraordinary! We were sad to say goodbye! We then flew to London for several days which Brian helped us with phenomenal hotel accommodations and transportation needed to the British Grand Prix. Brian arranged all of our flights and hotels...everything was perfect. He sent emails reminding us of flight check ins etc. and any communications needed during the trip. Brian is incredible to work with and so knowledgeable and fun. Loved working with him and grateful for his travel expertise. If you're planning a trip, please do yourself a favor and call Brian to plan your trip. He will never disappoint! Thank you Brian!

Chima Travel

Ann, This review was extremely kind and I feel so honored to receive it. Thank you so much for your words and the feedback. How fantastic to hear that your trips have been a success and you felt my service was positive. This gives me great encouragement; thank you, Ann! Sincerely, -Brian and the Chima Travel Team

I would highly recommend to anyone who may be considering using Chima Travel! That said, everyone at Chima has been amazing and helpful.

Sheri Schulte 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We recently worked with Brian Chima at Chima Travel to plan our Insight "Splendors of Egypt" tour. We had not used a travel agent in years, but decided to do so for Egypt as the planning was a bit more complex than other trips. Brian provided us with a number of trusted tour companies and itineraries to review. We selected the one that best met our needs. Brian was so helpful during the process with the planning, finding and communicating with a local guide, communicating with Insight to answer our questions, planning our additional days, helping us find the best flights and providing all necessary details with final docs to make the trip seamless. The trip met and exceeded our expectations. We have since recommended Chima Travel (Brian) to friends and they have already booked two trips with Brian and are considering more. We will definitely call Brian for future travel.

Chima Travel

Sheri, Wow this review is fantastic and I'm exceedingly grateful you took the time to write it. Thank you SO much! I'm thrilled to hear my service was helpful and made your travel seamless. Hurray! Thanks for the recommendation and this review. It means so much to me! Sincerely, -Brian

Kara E Bennington 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Our trip to Italy was incredible. Everything went so smooth thanks to Brain planning out every detail for us. I love a plan and organization is HUGE to me so having the binder with all of our information was amazing. Opening it when it came in the mail felt like a present! It's also such a fun souvenir to remember our trip. Brian did such a good job planning out tours for us to do and was very knowledgable of how to best utilize our time while seeing all the important places like the Vatican and Colosseum. He booked all of our ground transports for us and basically just told us when to be somewhere and where as well as any dress code information etc. that we needed to know. We didn't have to do any of the research ourselves which was so nice! I cannot recommend them enough and my husband and I are eager to decide where to go next.

Chima Travel

Dear Kara, This review made my day! Thanks so much for taking the time to write it; it means so much to me and my team!

We gave Brian our overall “wants” and he made it happen and then some!! I can’t imagine the trip going any more spectacularly! He has spoiled us for sure!!

Fantastic experience: So grateful to Chima for helping provide us with the most memorable family vacation in Italy. We can't stop talking about it. Every single aspect was beyond our expectation. Our hotels were superior, english speaking tour guides a delight, every transfer went off without a hitch. We were well prepared with Brian's itinerary and all his helpful hints. Right down to what universal plugs to bring. I just can't speak more highly of this company. We are already thinking of where to go next....maybe Greece and Istanbul!

Fantastic experience: The detailed, extensive dream trip I needed help with was taken care of seamlessly and perfectly by Brian, and this was my first time using Chima travel. I gave him an almost impossible itinerary, which included so much of Italy, and Vatican City and Monaco and Barcelona. We didnt miss one. He was able to incorporate a cruise for 7 days that brought us to France and Monaco, and ended in Barcelona. The rest of Italy was trains, perfect private tours and private drivers, as was our wish. A+ !!

Kudos to Brian and his team! As a side note, unforeseen circumstances required us to reschedule our original July travel date.

Jimmy Ray 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This trip for myself ,my wife and my brother was the greatest one ever ! We were traveling to Africa on a missionary trip by ourselves without being under another organization or with a group. We knew right away that we would have to have just the right traveling agency and we found it with this company. Brian was more than a pleasure to work with, and he walked us all through effortlessly,making our decision making process so easy and since he was so knowledgeable about customs and the airline industry we were in excellent hands. We had never gone on A 30 day trip before so we needed to be prepared for anything that could happen during or before the trip and Brian truly is the expert! Africa includes a lot of things that must be taken care. Brian went out of his way to help us and we would recommend this company to everyone and this is the only company we will consider for our future or next missionary trip. Sincerely Jimmy Ray: The Ministry of Jesus

Fantastic experience: Brian planned our trip for our family of 4 to England and France and did a great job. We had never been to Europe before so his expertise in helping us pick hotels and tours, and his help with coordinating train travel between London, Dover and Paris all were so beneficial. He had some great ideas and insights that we never would have known about or thought of on our own. His planning helped make our vacation a success and I am so glad we used him rather than trying to plan this on our own!

Their follow through is exceptional, including on your day of travel and your day of return (we were contacted on Christmas Eve when our flight was extremely delayed! ). Several years ago, we had the great luck to discover Chima Travel, and now we rarely schedule anything without utilizing their services. You dream-they plan-you enjoy.

Fantastic experience: Brian at Chima Travel was extremely easy to work with. We told him what we wanted to see and do while on our two-week dream vacation in Italy, and he planned it! It was so worth it- we didn't have to worry about taxi's, UBERs, train tickets, private transfer and private tours- it was all included and it was wonderful! I highly recommend using Brian's agency, he is professional, easy to reach and great to work with. Thanks Brian! Hope you can plan another vacation for us soon! :)

Fantastic experience: We started to plan our dream trip to Italy before Covid hit! It finally came to fruition with the help of Chima travel! Brian provided expert advice on our travel. The transfers went smoothly and the private tour guide really enriched our experience of Rome! It was such a relief not to have to plan all the details ourselves! We would recommend Chima travel without any hesitation.

Fantastic experience: Our trip to Rome/Paris/London- was truly fantastic! I am not a sight seer at heart but it was amazing!!!- All the tours were great and the information provided by Chima travel made everything so easy. I was initially a little worried about traveling overseas as I have travelled inside the US much but none overseas - but I had nothing to worry about- everywhere I felt safe and able to communicate. Without a doubt it was most enjoyable trip I have ever taken.

Chima Travel

Dear TTDog, THANK you for this review! I love it! I'm thrilled you had a fantastic time overseas and that you enjoyed all the touring. That warms my heart and gives our team a boost of confidence! Thanks so much! Sincerely, -Brian and the Chima Travel Team

Fantastic experience: There are a lot of logistics when traveling abroad (aside from plane tickets [booking, rescheduling, cancellations etc]) there are also hotel bookings, train tickets, museum reservations etc that factor in. Chima Travel not only handled a re-booking of our cancelled flights out of the states to Italy seamlessly, but assured and supplied tickets ahead of time for our trains and museum tours which meant for a smooth transition at each of our destinations as well as excursions enjoyed while being there. Would highly recommend Chima Travel for your traveling abroad needs!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have used the services from Chima Travel, specifically Brian Chima, for the last five years. He has assisted us on several trips to Italy and also, a trip to Scotland. Brian is excellent in his up front planning and follow through. He communicates effectively even when he himself is out of the country. All the details are covered and when something unexpected arises, he is prompt in his handling of the situation and communication to us. We like knowing that when we are on an international trip, Brian is one phone call away.
