Odyssey Travel: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Transatlantic Cruise Marian Blessing is our travel advisor, and her assistance actually enabled us to take this trip in that she was able to obtain a cabin for us that appeared to be otherwise unavailable, and as always, she was there to assist us or answer questions for any issues that arose. Marian has been an invaluable resource to us when planning any travel.
Marian works very hard for her clients, thank you for taking the time to post a review.
Fantastic experience: Marian Blessing has been our travel agent for years. Several of us widows always have her book our trips. She is so thorough and helps us plan, finds parking lots for our cruises, checks us in, also is great on getting us tour groups when we fly to Europe. Plus she's very easy to talk to and explains everything to us retirees who have little computer knowledge. You will not find a better travel agent. Odyssey office staff is warm and helpful too.
Europe is a fantastic destination and having Marian help plan everything makes perfect sense. Our job is to make sure every detail is addressed and that you enjoy your vacation stress free. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Fantastic experience: Well beyond our expectations! We have been working with Marian since 2008, she continues to plan the most amazing vacations for us, and this trip to Alaska was no exception! She truly handled and advised us on every detail. This was a first time multi-generational trip and without her it would not have happened as it is so overwhelming to figure out the best way travel there. She recommended we use Regent and they were awesome and her precise transport and post cruise tour and transport were fantastic! Marian is always a pleasure to talk to, making herself available. She is kind and professional. She is also wanting to take the stress off of the client so she has gone to efforts to handle so many details including dining, excursion confirmations. She kept us on track for the big trip. She also discovered in enough time one family members passport would not be valid for time of travel and with the major internet-flight issue with delta she had backup flight plan set up for us just incase we needed it. Love her
We are so happy that you had another amazing trip planned by Marian. She cares so much about her clients and only wants the best for them.

While on the trip we had to explore some options to come back early and she was very helpful. I would recommend her and Odyssey to anyone!
I am glad that you had a great trip to Antigua. Cindy is a true asset to her clients and happy that you recommend her and Odyssey Travel. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Great Experience I have worked with Julia for many years and she never disappoints my wife and me. Our most recent trip on a Viking River cruise was smooth sailing. She arranged great flights for us that were compatible with our home airport and made changes when the airline had schedule changes. Julia is very knowledgeable in all phases of the travel industry. I have recommended her to all my friends. Just came back from touring the Iberian peninsula. Julia Smithson, our travel advisor, did a great job. She always gets us the best deals.
I am so happy to hear about your experience using Julia at Odyssey Travel. Thank you for your business.
Fantastic experience: Jeanne Huth is a wonderful travel advisor. We were pleased to find her and her company through our volunteer work in Daytona Beach. Jeanne always listens well and asks us good questions. She has arranged travel for us that is a much better priced than we do personally. Odyssey and Jeanne are customer focused and look out for our best interests. I ran customer care for a large company and I would hire their staff in an instant. Photos from a recent trip to Turkey and Greece.

We are happy that you enjoyed your trip and took the time to let everyone know that Jeanne Huth is a pleasure to work with when planning your vacation.
Fantastic experience: Antarctica expedition Julia Starling put together a wonderful trip for me to go to my seventh continent, Antarctica. I hadn’t realized until I went to Australia last year (on a trip Julia organized) and met people that had been to Antarctica, that you could actually go there. I worked with Julia to put together a tour where I could actually set foot on Antarctica! She knew that Intrepid was a reliable expedition operator and found the trip for me to realize my dream. The trip was two weeks long, and we went out about twice a day for 7 days in small zodiac boats to look at whales, penguins, and seals. There’s an amazing abundance of wildlife in Antarctica. The trip was perfect for me with 200 people that were also on this expedition. This allowed half of us to be on land, looking at wildlife while the other half was looking at wildlife in the water. Julia set up the perfect trip for me with Intrepid. She also chose excellent flights and the hotel I stayed in in Buenos Aires.
We are so happy that you enjoyed your tour of New Zealand and Australia. Julia works really hard to make her clients dreams come true.
Fantastic experience: I wanted to take a moment to share my positive experience working with Marion Taborda, Luxury Travel Advisor, during a recent trip to Paris and London. Marion assisted me on an extremely last-minute trip, and her professionalism and expertise truly made a difference. She curated a personalized list of recommendations that perfectly matched my needs and ensured that I was able to experience all the highlights in both cities. What impressed me the most was Marion's dedication to exceptional service. Despite the significant time difference, she made herself available to me whenever I needed assistance. Marion went above and beyond by researching and booking additional historical sites for me, allowing me to fully enjoy my vacation in Europe without the stress of planning. It was a pleasure to work with Marion, and I look forward to collaborating with her on future travels, albeit with a bit more planning on my end this time :). Her attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly commendable. Thank you for providing such a remarkable professional in your team. Marion's expertise and personalized approach have left a lasting impression on me.
Odyssey Travel is so happy that you enjoyed your trip to Paris and London. Marion is an asset to our team and is an expert on Europe. Thank you for taking the time to leave this detailed review!
Fantastic experience: Julie is the best! She helped my husband and I plan our entire cruise and it was perfect. We were on a beautiful ship, had many fun things planned and we even swam with pigs.

Fantastic experience: We had the most incredible Switzerland trip thanks to Odyssey Travel and our amazing travel agent, John. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of our journey was seamless and unforgettable. Their attention to detail was impressive, and their knowledge of Switzerland's hidden gems added a unique touch to our adventure. Whether it was exploring charming Swiss villages, taking scenic train rides through the Alps, or indulging in Swiss chocolate, every moment was a highlight. Our travel agent's expertise and professionalism made our trip stress-free and allowed us to focus on making wonderful memories. I cannot recommend them enough!
I am so happy that you had a wonderful time in Switzerland with your daughter, you both were a dream to work with through the entire trip planning process. I really appreciate this amazing review and can't wait to work with you in the future.
Fantastic experience: The Best Jeanne has consistently been all one could ask of a Travel Advisor. She responds promptly and prefers to communicate by email to leave a paper trail should I (the client) forget her previous answers to the myriad questions I have. We have worked successfully together for 13 years; I can't imagine planning a trip without her expertise and insight.
Thank you so much for the detailed review of your long relationship working with Jeanne Huth. She is fantastic and so knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: Kathy Ottoson was very helpful with our Viking river cruise. She tracked all the details and kept us well informed throughout. We had 2 wonderful cruises - Paris to the D-Day beaches in Normandy and Southern France, Provence. All went so smoothly and effortlessly. Thank you Kathy!
I am so glad that you enjoyed your Viking Cruise. Kathy makes all your travel plans run smoothly. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Fantastic experience: Patty is top Notch Words can't explain how awesome it was working with Patty. She treated me like I was family. As a business owner Patty treats her customers as I treat mine. Any question or concern I had Patty would answer, even though it might have been a silly one. I am the type of person when it's not in my wheel house, I ask professionals in that area, because who knows better than that person that does it for a living. If I had to book everything related to my cruise, it would have been a nightmare and I would have been frustrated before ever leaving home. In my business, I want my customers to depend on me because it's something I do every day. I would highly recommend Patty. If anyone is looking to travel, because she makes it seem easy. Going forward, any trip I plan on taking in the future I will be reaching out to Patty.
I am so glad that you enjoyed your cruise. Patty is a true professional that allows you to go on vacation without any worries. Thank you for leaving this review for her.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular trip to Italy! Sue was amazing to work with. I appreciated all of her help and advice, and she was incredibly responsive and helpful when I had a question during the trip!
Thank you for taking the time to let everyone know how helpful Sue Heidelberger was planning your trip to Italy and that she was there to help during the trip. Sue's actions before and during the trip separate her from the online travel agencies like Explora!
Fantastic experience: This was my first experience with Jeanne and Odyssey Travel/Virtuoso and she was attentive and helpful from the beginning. I originally called her to see if she thought this was the right cruise for us and if there was more value in a different trip. She also made suggestions on things to see in the places we were visiting and assisted with airport lounges. We are already using her again and have recommended her to others.
Thank you for taking the time to review Jeanne and share your pictures, she is a fantastic travel advisor. The experience her and the other advisors have is unbelievable. We are glad that you enjoyed your cruise.
Fantastic experience: Jeanne Huth arranged travel to Quebec City and Silverseas cruise to northeastern Canada. As she has always done, the arrangements were great and the trip a huge success. It was a beautiful ship with about 320 passengers. Great accomodations with great food and very relaxing. Unlike many trips where there are special things to see, this was more about beautiful scenery and hikes with awesome views though there were some other options. We were worried about it perhaps being a little stuffy with dress requirements but this was not the case as there were many options. Jeanne never disappoints.
Glad that you enjoyed your cruise on Silversea. Fantastic review! Jeanne is wonderful to work with and so knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful vacation as a result of the experience of Karen Upchurch, and her staff of Odyssey Travel. Among the visitations in Barcelona, Madrid, and Paris, we were treated to sites, tastes, and lifestyles that we had never experienced before. Our trip was one we will never forget. We owe a debt of gratitude. Odyssey Travel and Karen Upchurch for making it all possible.
We love to hear that our clients enjoyed their vacation. Karen and our staff work so hard to makes your dreams come true. Thank you for your review.
Fantastic experience: Best travel agent in Florida Do not ever plan a trip without Marian Blessing making all your travel arrangements. My multigenerational family recently completed our second international vacation that she planned for us. She makes travel worry free, thinking of every detail. Her selections of hotels, special services are always delightful choices.
I am so glad that everything worked out smoothly for the entire family. We plan a lot of multigenerational travel and Marian is a fantastic travel advisor. Thak you for your detailed review.
Fantastic experience: Greece 2023 April has planned several trips for me over the years and has always been fabulous! This trip was a little different because it was traveling with my young adult daughters. April took this into account and our trip this year was amazing in terms of her hotel suggestions, things to do and her follow up on all the details down to our airport/hotel transfers. Thanks April!!
Greece is such a wonderful place to vacation and I am glad you and your daughters had a great time. April makes sure all the details are taken care of from the minute you leave the house until you return. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
Fantastic experience: Victoria was very helpful in planning our entire trip to Ireland. She arranged and then stayed on top of all our reservations which made planning the trip stress free. Victoria is very well traveled so was able to give great advice in coordinating our travel plans. I would highly recommend Victoria and plan to continue using her for my future vacation planning needs.
We are so happy that you enjoyed your vacation to Ireland. Victoria is very knowledgeable about many locations.
Fantastic experience: Excellent trip planning/ consulting Very prompt, professional, and efficient arrangement of cruise plans and reservations.

Fantastic experience: Cindy is a pleasure to work with. She took care of everything so we could just enjoy our trip. When one of our flights was canceled she had another arranged before we even knew what had happened. She loves to travel and so she has a lot of great information. I wouldn't plan a trip without her.
Having a Travel Advisor ready to help out when plans are interrupted really makes a huge difference and can be a vacation saver. Cindy is a fantastic Travel Advisor.
Fantastic experience: Working with Cindy was great. She was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. She helped plan a recent group cruise and everyone was very happy working with her. I’m planning another cruise soon and will be calling on her again.
I am glad you enjoyed your cruise. Group Cruises can be hard to organize and very stressful, so I am glad you used a travel advisor. Cindy Bryant is a complete professional.
Fantastic experience: Julia Starling is amazing! Booked a European cruise with her and was always available to answer all our questions. Very knowledgeable!! Would absolutely book with her 100%!
I am so glad that you enjoyed your European River Cruise. Julia does a great job of advising her clients on the different river cruise options.
Fantastic experience: Had an excellent vacation and travel due to the assistance from our travel agent Sue Heidelberger. I recommend her to all persons searching for a professional travel agent that is client focused and will provide great vacation recommendations.
Sue is an excellent Travel Advisor. We are glad you had a wonderful vacation.
Fantastic experience: I started working with travel planner Jeanne Huth at Odyssey Travel a few years ago when a trip to England was going to have multiple stops in places I'd not visited before. She handled it all beautifully so I've been using her ever since. And, when a situation arises causing the need to change your plans...having a professional handle that provides unbelievable peace of mind. Plus...she's fun to work with and is a professional of great expertise.
Jeanne is a travel guru. Thank you for your review!
Fantastic experience: Review for Odyssey Travel, organized for us by Cindy Bryant We had a wonderful trip, rather long and complicated but it all came together and we accomplished everything we wanted to do. In Bayeux, the Hotel Churchill was lovely, very friendly, well located, and with a very nice breakfast. Food in Bayeux was outstanding. But we couldn’t take pictures of the tapestry, which was a stunning work of art. The tour of the American beaches in Normandy was good, but we realized that for people who are totally into the D-Day experience you would need at least three full days. There are little museums everywhere. We saw enough for us with the tour Cindy set up for us. Mont St Michel was breathtaking, absolutely worth the trip. Having the guide was good because even in April the narrow streets are crowded, but she took us up to the monastery by a back route. This location is always crowded, even in the off-season. The driver who took us from Bayeux to Lille was great; on the ball, spoke good English, and had done his homework with the public records so he knew exactly where to find my grandfather's grave in the Abbeville cemetery. That guy is a keeper. The Mercure Vieux Lille also had a very nice breakfast, good location, and good electrical service. Lille is lovely and worth a visit in its own right. The area has many war memorials, including one for the carrier pigeons and their keepers. Local specialty is Welsh Rarebit. Really! Who knew? We were unable to book a Flanders battlefield tour with one of the established guides - they book out many months in advance - but put together our own little tour with the help of an Uber driver, and found the grave we were looking for. It cost about E250, cheaper than a professional guide. You can go back and forth across the Belgian border without any formalities. Connections to CDG and London by rail worked smoothly, very comfortable and quick. The LNER trains to Edinburgh and back to London were also good. We were served nice meals on the Eurostar and LNER train trips. The Gyle hotel in London is very good for connections to Scotland and Europe through King's Cross Station and St Pancras Station. We were concerned about getting to Gatwick, which usually takes a Tube train to Victoria and a Gatwick express train to the airport. We found that the newer Thameslink line from Luton Airport (North of London) to Gatwick was very useful, as we got on at St Pancras and went to Gatwick in about an hour without having to change trains. Only GBP 42 for the three of us, no need to book in advance as you can buy tickets from the machines with a credit card. In Scotland, we liked both hotels. Kingsmills is what I would call POSH, definitely upper crust. Mackays in Wick was the best experience for us. It is quite small, but it has an elevator and good electrical services, and the staff, especially the owner, were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The owner knows everyone in town, so when we needed to set up a tour of the Old Pulteney distillery, he was able to use his personal contacts there to get us on the list at short notice. Food here was outstanding, the dining room is always crowded with locals, who outnumber the hotel guests. The whiskey bar has an amazing selection, reasonably priced. Caithness, the northernmost county in Scotland, was spectacular. We had a lovely stay in Guernsey at the Fermain Valley Hotel, which we chose for its closeness to my sister's house. We really had a great trip with our kids, and I'm sure they will remember it for many years. Thanks again for all your help.
Wow Michael great review of your trip. I am so glad that Cindy could help you out with your family vacation.
Fantastic experience: We had the best time on our honeymoon in Tahiti! It was a pleasure working with Julia. She took our ask and provided us with exactly what we were looking for. Every step of the trip was taken care of. She is friendly and helpful, provided thorough information and answered all our questions. We will definitely reach out to Julia again for future travel!
I am so happy that you were able to honeymoon in Tahiti and had a great time in such a beautiful location. Julia works really hard for her clients and I appreciate you leaving her a review.
Fantastic experience: Galapagos Island Adventure! Marian made all of the arrangements for us for our wonderful trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. The Flora was a great excursion ship from Celebrity and our cabin was perfect for us. The scenery and wildlife were amazing! Marian took care of us throughout the planning and booking process, which ended up having the Machu Picchu portion cancelled at the last minute due to rioting in Peru. Marian was on the spot when we needed her to handle the short-notice flight changes and other things that come with those things. Another homerun for Marian for us! This was our 66th country and Marian has helped us through nearly all of those other 65! Thank you, Marian!
We are happy that you had such a wonderful time in Las Vegas. Thank you leaving a fantastic review of Marian.
Fantastic experience: Stefan cares about his clients, and Odyssey Travel offers exotic travel experiences to near and far destinations. I sure had a wonderful land tour of winter Alaska and the Itidarod race with Collette Tours.
We are so happy that you enjoyed your tour of Alaska. Stefan offers so many opportunities for his clients to easily travel.
Fantastic experience: Our latest trip planned by Odyssey Travel was wonderful, why? Because they are good listeners who pick up on our personal tastes and special needs. We have been working with Karen Upchurch for years, doesn’t matter where we want to go, she puts together a program that has all the things we ask for and then some. Our recent trip to the Southern Caribbean on the Seabourn Sojourn, is a great example. This ship is small enough to go into ports that can’t be visited by larger ships. Tobago – We were the first cruise ship to visit here since March 2020. We tendered into the small town and were warmly welcomed by the locals singing and dancing. Without the commercialized tourism touch, it was delightful! Boquia, St Vincent & the Grenadines – Another beautiful small town with over 150 boats of various sizes anchored in the harbor and colorful buildings cascading down the mountain sides. And, who can’t enjoy, at the end of the day, a cocktail served by such a delightful staff? If you want to take a “top of the scale” journey, with places off the beaten path, Karen and the staff at Odyssey Travel is the place to go.
I can't thank you enough Linda for such an amazing review for Karen. She has been everywhere and if you want to go there in luxury give her a call and she will make it happen. You make me want to immediately jump on a Seabourn ship and visit all the small Caribbean islands.
Fantastic experience: Odyssey Travel and in particular Sherry Wilczewski have provided us with phenomenal travel service over the years. We have just completed an Antarctic expedition arranged by Sherry and Odyssey. Sherry is a wonderful travel advisor and agent. She is a consummate professional. Her recommendations are spot on. She creates excellent experiences at reasonable rates. She is flexible and does well making our requests into reality. A plus highly recommended!!
Dr. Mirante we really appreciate your recommendation of Sherry as she is a tireless travel advocate for her clients. Antarctica is an amazing place with wonderful experiences and I am so glad that you were able to enjoy it's beauty.

Marian is a true professional.

Fantastic experience: Great Agent! Julia was and is Outstanding! We booked a trip to Peru! 6 months ago, and who would of thought that Peru’s Government would be in Caos, Cusco Airport was taken over by protesters all the important destinations that we had scheduled were comprised, Julia immediately helped us with resolving our issues and getting our money back this was an extraordinary situation, so we never went on our trip, she is now working with us to prepare with a different destination vacation, she has always been professional and has always provided me with immediate communication and information. I Definitely recommend her to plan your trip not only because she knows what she is doing but is easy for any agent to guide you through the easy plans but it takes a very proficient agent to guide you through difficult times!, Thank you Julia! You are amazing!!!
Sorry to hear that the problems in Peru prevented you from visiting and that Julia is helping you to resolve all your issues. We look forw3ard to working with you on many more our your adventures.
Fantastic experience: White Glove, Concierge Advisor -------------------------------------------------- Having worked with Cindy for the better part of a decade, she has always provided excellent advisement. With a list of ideas, our timing, and price range in mind, she delivers an excellent itinerary detailed to our specific goals and priorities. We are always excited to plan another world class adventure with her. Pictures from the latest adventure in Iceland. Dec 2022.
Cindy is such a hard worker and dedicated to her clients. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Fantastic experience: She is very easy to work with; has lots of good suggestions but isn't pushy about the selections we were considering. She follows up on things that are coming due, so we don't get caught off guard. Our family is spread out in three locations. She did an excellent job of "herding cats" to keep us all on the same page. At one point we had three family members attending one luau and one at another. Jacky worked with the cruise line to get us all in the same event. We are very pleased with her work and are now working with her on a second cruise.
Jacky is a wonderful Travel Advisor. Thank you for leaving a review!
Fantastic experience: Cindy is the best! It was amazing working with Cindy Bryant. Just a short email to Cindy and right away she set in motion the best travel plans ever for a trip to Rome and a Mediterranean Cruise for myself and two of my sisters from another state. She is patient, knowledgeable and thorough in planning, and took care of all the details of what I knew -for sure- was a complicated task. Cindy called, emailed or texted us often for consultation and to describe every detail of what we could need or anticipate in our trip. She made sure that my sisters and I were well informed, and in agreement with all the travel plans each and every step of the way. Definitely not an easy job! Then, she called to check on how our trip went. Well, we had an amazing and fun time thanks to Cindy's well thought out and thorough trip plan. Thanks Cindy!
Cindy works very hard to make her clients happy. Thank you for the review.
Fantastic experience: Nella Nella Ward is the most wonderful travel advisor ever. She has done many trips for us, and she always goes above and beyond to get you what you want on your vacation.
Nella is a true treasure. Thank you for giving her a review.

Julia has a ton of experience and just returned from a Study Tour of Ireland. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I wanted to take a trip to southern France. We contacted Marian Blessing because she had previously done a great job helping us plan a customized trip to Prague and Budapest. We met with Marian and discussed an outline of where we wanted to go. After reviewing the outline and asking us questions, she gave us a preliminary plan for the trip with her suggestions. Her suggestions were very helpful. We asked questions and made some modifications based on our personal preferences. She did an excellent job integrating these changes into the final product. She also assisted us in securing our trip deposits when Covid hit. She helped us navigate the two years we waited for Covid to subside so we could take the trip. She answered all of our questions as we were making final preparations. We had a fantastic time. The hotels Marian selected were fabulous. The private transfers she arranged were on time, comfortable and the drivers were personable and professional. The car rental she set up for us went without a hitch. Marian did a wonderful job for us. We highly recommend Marian to anyone planning a customized trip.
Thank you so much for taking the time to detail all the help that Marian provided you for your trip to Budapest and Prague.

Fantastic experience: Julia Starling was available without delay for our many questions prior to leaving on our trip to France on the Avalon Cruise ship Tapestry II, from Paris to Normandy. The details were meticulous without any hitch throughout our trip. Transportation was always there to link us from airport to hotel to ship and back again. The cruise was exceptional with great choices of tours at each port stop. Julia recommended we choose our daily excursions prior to leaving for our trip so that we were signed up in advance. She gave us a reference for making reservations for our Louvre tour, which was excellent. She kept us abreast of changes and any details we needed to ensure our trip was seamless. I would highly recommend Julia Starling. Thank you.
I am so happy you had a wonderful experience in France and that Julia was able to answer all your questions. Thank you for taking the time to review Odyssey Travel
Fantastic experience: Cindy is by far the BEST!!, travel agent, I have ever worked with, Cindy just thinks of everything, so no worries, makes a good time.
We are so lucky to have Cindy working with us. She works hard and attends every educational function that I put on at the office.
Fantastic experience: Sue Heidelberger is very easy to work with.. She anticipates my needs and goes the extra mile to meet them. I have been using her for years. She is like one of the family.
We were lucky to have Sue join our team a couple of years ago. She is a real asset. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Fantastic experience: Palio Trip/Northern Italy She was excellent, very helpful arranging and re-arranging a trip that was delayed repeatedly due to pandemic. Took care out of all our preferences and talked us out of what would have been some bad ideas on our part. Will definitely work with her again.
Sherry is a hard worker that goes the extra mile for her client. I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.

Fantastic experience: Jeanne has been handling my business and personal travel for a dozen years. During this time I lived and worked all over the world. Jeanne is a professional, the best at what she does and works tirelessly on your behalf to get the best flights and for the best price. I highly recommend Jeanne for all of your travel needs, I won't use anyone else.
Jeanne works so hard for her clients. I am glad you were pleased with her effort.
Fantastic experience: Odyssey Travel is a great company to deal with from start to finish. We received fantastic recommendations and ideas for Europe from our agent, John Upchurch. It was clear a lot of thought had gone into the hotels, cruise and experiences to match our preferences. John set up all of our travel, connections and guides. Everything went extremely smooth and made our trip so easy, not having to think about any logistics.
It was my pleasure helping you and Matt plan the perfect vacation for your family. I just wanted you to be able to sit back relax and enjoy your time in Europe.
Fantastic experience: Jacky was wonderful. She was pleasant and patient. She helped us find the vacation we were looking for. Jacky also kept us up to date on the cruiseline changes and even called us the week before our cruise to make sure we were good to go. We had a BLAST! My husband and I are already looking to plan our next vacation with Jacky. She is AWESOME!
Jacky does an amazing job. She and Angela will move mountains for their clients.
Fantastic experience: Better Than A Talented Conductor We trusted John Upchurch with the planning of a family vacation that included a Tauck river cruise from Amsterdam to Basel, and he assured we enjoyed the trip of a lifetime. Every detail was very well thought out. When you are embarking on a 9 person adventure there are plenty of potential hang ups and disappointments to avoid. And, there is every desire to maximize the enjoyment of the whole adventure. John created and assured the best family experience possible. He did it like an experienced symphony conductor. All we can do is applaud loudly.
Thank you Bob for the support! Tauck does an amazing job on multigenerational travel.
Fantastic experience: A Perfect Travel Adviser Alan Abelson is a very caring person who listens to his client's desires and earnestly tries to fulfill them. In addition, he takes care of many, many trip details, relieving me of those worries.
Alan works so hard for his clients and we appreciate you leaving this review for him.
Fantastic experience: Terrific travel agent ! Marian was a great support during the two plus years we worked on this trip due to Covid. She handled every detail from start to finish. We have since recommended her to several friends and asked her to help us with additional travel.

Fantastic experience: No worries! Marian Blessing is a wonder woman working all the possibilities for a great trip. Best tour operator for what I wanted to see- done. Comfortable air travel for a long distance- done. Tickets for hop-on hop-off bus in London- done. She knew how to find all the components for a truly memorable experience.
Marian takes very good care of her clients!
Fantastic experience: Great Trips to Europe and Fantastic Cruises! I have worked with Karen, Jeanne and Marian; they are all really tuned into what your dreams are and make it easy and efficient!

We appreciate your business and are happy that you have worked with our advisors for so many years. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I have to commend Julia Starling at the Ormond Beach Odyssey Travel office. I was recommended to Odyssey but to not to a particular agent. I was lucky to have met Julia. I am celebrating my 90th birthday in May 2022. Having travelled to Italy in my younger years , going back and particularly to Verona for the last time was my dream. Julia took over the task with knowledge, patience, understanding, immediate responses and attention, and grace - taking care of every detail that I had hoped for. She is a wonderfully kind and caring lady and I am indebted to her for everything she has done for me. I pray that I will see this trip come true from May 16 - June 1st, 2022. Thank you, thank you, thank you Julia. Gratefully, Anne Bernardi
Anne thank for your review. I am fortunate to work with a number of professional Travel Advisors like Julia.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding... will plan a trip soon with Stephen!
