Imagine Travel Vacations: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Kaitlyn was our travel agent for our anniversary Alaskan cruise trip and she was fabulous! I love to travel but I do not like having to figure out little details on my own. Kaitlyn handled everything from booking flights to getting us the perfect balcony room on our cruise! She answered any questions we had and made us feel confident to go on such a big trip on our own! One of my favorite things she did for us was book our hotel in Seattle a day before our trip. First, getting us a room beforehand was so helpful after a long day of travel! It gave us a minute to relax before going on board and we got to see a little bit of Seattle along the way! Second, the hotel she booked for us was AHHMAZING. She booked the Edgewater Hotel and I can easily say it was the best hotel we have ever stayed in! It had this gorgeous waterfront view from this cozy lobby and I thoroughly enjoyed my books and a lovely cup of coffee in the morning! Kaitlyn really cares about making sure every aspect of our trip is memorable! I am already thinking of our next trip so that I can reach out and start planning with her! Thanks so much, Kaitlyn!!!
Fantastic experience: Beth is a great travel agent
Fantastic experience: We just returned from our 3rd trip using Imagine Travel and Shane Lawrence. We keep using them because they always set us up with the perfect adventure. This last trip was to Maui and Kauai - amazing. Working with Shane is always easy, and he has great ideas to make our trip even better. I'm already looking forward to our next adventure!
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Shane and Imagine Travel enough! An absolutely phenomenal company and customer service! My flight was cancelled at midnight as we were about to board. Shane had the airline on the phone in 2 minutes solving the problem vs the 3 hours that people stood in line. The Collette Peaks of Europe tour that he recommended was the best trip of my life. The beauty was beyond stunning and the villages were so quaint. It was the absolute perfect trip and I was already emailing Shane to book the next one before it ended!
Thank you so much for this humbling review! We are so incredibly glad you had fun and that we were able to help during your flight issues. Really looking forward to working with you in the future! You are off to Italy next! ;)
Fantastic experience: We just came back from Walt Disney world! Shane Lawrence as always hooked us up!! Had the BEST trip!! Perfect hotel experience! Disney's Coronado Springs Resort Is an amazing hotel! Best staff, property, food and pool!! Best travel agency in the world!!!! Thank you!!!!
Thanks SO much for the review Jennifer!! Means the world to us :) Disney is still our thing and always will be ;) Welcome home, let us know when you are ready for your next magical adventure!!
Fantastic experience: Shane recently helped us with a vacation to Secrets Moxche in Playa Del Carmen. Absolutely beautiful resort that can only be described as straight out of an episode of White Lotus. The staff was incredible and food was certainly above avg for an all inclusive. The Preferred Club level guest room and access to the rooftop observatory restaurant and pool area was well worth it. Too many pools to even use in a week, including a man made lagoon. The hotel can be quite full, but with so many pools you're spread out and don't feel the crowd. Lots of great restaurants on site that don't take reservations, which is kinda nice that you don't have to structure this intricate plan for the week. We really never had more than a 10 min wait to eat dinner anywhere we went. (Allore, Ember and Sea Soul were dinner favs). We loved the coffee shop for drinks and treats anytime of the day. Feels like a high end Starbucks! Shane set us up with Angel, his transportation resource in Cancun, which ended up being fabulous. Highly recommend Shane and Secrets Moxche!
Hey Victor, Thank you so much for the rave review. I hope more people get to see Secrets Moxche and experience Angel our driver as well. The best in the biz :) We look forward to working with you again on your next adventure!
Fantastic experience: Secrets is an absolutely breathtaking resort & ALL the staff members were wonderful people. Very thoughtful, polite & professional. Our room (Jr. swim out King sized bed) was spectacular! Our room was always clean & we were never in need of anything. We felt as if the staff was only there for us! Highly recommend!!
We are so glad you loved the resort we picked out for you Stephaney! Had a feeling that was the perfect spot. The resort she's referring to yall is Secrets Puerto Los Cabos :) Thanks for booking with us!!
Fantastic experience: Claudia Murphy is great! I found an updated offer on our booked cruise and she listened to me and immediately took action to help. Less than 24 hours later, done!!! I highly recommend her; she is the best!!!
Fantastic experience: Shane arranged the accommodations for something around 20 people for our friend's birthday celebration in Cancun. The whole trip from tarmack to tarmack was exemplary!
Fantastic experience: Shane and Mika are the absolute best! I traveled to Cancun for my 50th birthday with about 25 people and we had an amazing time. Shane’s recommendations were right on point. I will never travel without Imagine Travel ever again.
Fantastic experience: Even though we have not gone on our vacation yet, I cannot say enough about Kaitlyn. She has been nothing short of amazing!!! The ease of booking, friendly demeanor, and her putting up with last minute changes makes her amazing. If you are booking a trip, you owe it to yourself to reach out to Kaitlyn. We will never do another trip without her.
Thank you so much for your rave review of Kaitlyn! She's a jewel in the Imagine Travel crown for sure!
Fantastic experience: Shane is the man. He made our amazing Alaska trip possible. No way could I have pulled this off without him. Will def be using him again!!
We appreciate your review so very much! Alaska is one beautiful place, we are so glad we could make it happen for you. To God be the glory :)
Fantastic experience: Shane with Imagaine Travel is AMAZING! We recently got back from a Viking cruise from Amsterdam to Basel, Switzerland and did a post extension in Lucerne. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and Shane and Viking did a phenomenal job. The transportation from the airport to the ship, ship to the hotel, and from the hotel to the airport was seamless. It was so easy and I didn’t have to plan a thing except where I’m going next! I 1000% would go on another Viking cruise and would use Imagine Travel for any future travel adventures!!! I can’t say enough about them…. truly fantastic people to work with!!!
Fantastic experience: Shane and Mika are THE BEST!! We had a nightmare of a travel day trying to get on a cruise in FL. We booked our own flights and btw bad weather and delays almost missed our ship. Shane and Mika helped guide us and worked immediately behind the scenes to find my lost luggage. I had given up hope and they refused to give up on us and keep encouraging us to push thru. We made it with 3 min to spare! They found my lost luggage in another airport and had it delivered to our first stop in another country! They know their stuff and are excellent guides in helping file claims with the airlines and helping us find other flights that were canceled or delayed! Always a pleasure and less stress working with Shane and Mika at Imagine! Can’t wait for them to plan our next trip!!
Thank you guys so much for this review! When issues like this arise is when we really get a chance to earn our keep. It was a wild day you had there, we are just so glad you made the cruise and got your luggage ;) We def look forward to working with you again in the future!
Fantastic experience: Kimpton Seafire in grand cayman was awesome experience !
Fantastic experience: We went to Cancun, the Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres, and it was fantastic! We had perfect weather for being in the pool all day. The food was good, the room was amazing (quiet, every detail was clean and well-planned), the service was wonderful at restaurants and the pool, the resort was full of lush garden areas, we rarely participate in activities, but there was plenty to do if you needed activity. We loved the dress code in restaurants and that the staff enforced it. Five stars, definitely recommend.
We are so glad you lived it Jennifer!! We book a lot of Secrets and this review shows why :). Definitely looking forward to working with you again in the future!
Fantastic experience: Just returned from a fabulous All-Inclusive vacay in the Dominican Republic. Booking through Imagine was the best! Shane and Mikka were always available to assist with any questions or concerns that I had. Everything was top tier and my family and I didn't have to worry about a thing! We are already planning for next year. Simply the ONLY way to book a fabulous vacation. Thanks Shane...,you're the best!
Thank you so much Tammi for your awesome review! We're so glad you had fun. Can't wait to help you plan your next adventure!
Fantastic experience: Shane and Imagine Travel did a wonderful job of coordinating a family trip to Europe. He suggested visiting Rome along with a Greek Isles cruise to give us the best experience we could hope for in a short period of time. At the end of our trip we also tagged on Venice for a couple days. Shane was spot on with his recommendations of hotel, private tours and transfers. His contacts - especially in Italy made it a 5 star experience. Phenomenal job!
Thank you so much Jon for the awesome review! It makes everything we do worth it. We look forward to working with you and your family for many years to come. Ciao!!
Fantastic experience: Had a 2 week trip to Italy that Shane helped us book (just myself and my wife) and everything went flawless. From the accommodations, to the transportation between all the cities with our private drivers, to the recommendations he gave us. Everything was top notch and made our trip go smoothly without any bumps in the road. Couldn't recommend him enough. Will 100% be using him again for our next international travel.
Thank you so much for the feedback Everett! I'm so glad the honeymoon was perfect. We knew you and your wife would flip out over Borgo Pignion in Tuscany.. It's wow right? And then the Amalfi Coast, Florence?! It doesn't get much better than that. ;) Looking forward to working with you guys for years to come!
Fantastic experience: Shane, Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed Cabo and LeBlanc. They were both amazing! The sights in Cabo exceeded our expectations and LeBlanc was simply outstanding. The property was terrific and the service was nothing short of extraordinary. We didn't want to leave! Thanks for your help in setting this up. You are a pleasure to work with! We will look forward to the next great destination that you arrange for us! Mike & Michelle
These are the comments we live for! Thanks so much for letting us know you had fun and for your kind words. Cabo is a very special place, we believe everyone should experience it. We look forward to working with you in the future.
Fantastic experience: Thanks Shane Mia reef isla mujeres was awesome. Best snorkeling trip yet. Beautiful beaches with crystal clear water. Helpful and friendly staff. Food and entertainment was okay I felt could have been better. Transfers to and from airport went very smoothly. Over all this trip was amazing. Thank you for making this anniversary special.
Thanks so much Eric for your review! We don't sell this resort a lot, so it's super helpful for us and our clients. Looking forward to setting up your next adventure!! :)
Fantastic experience: Shane and Mika made our trip to the Dominican Republic flawless. The entire trip on his recommendation and it was perfect. Using Shane to book again for next year
Thank you so much Kimmi for the kind remarks! We really enjoy working with you guys. We'll be ready to help for the next big adventure!
Negative experience: The worst thing about a business is that they never answer the phone!!! I’ve tried calling this company five times today, Tuesday March 5th… so I guess I’ll take my business elsewhere.
Khadija, We have an event in Winston Salem tonight for an Italy show. We would be happy to assist you tomorrow if you are available?
Fantastic experience: Shane is the best! We had a group of 30 travel to Cancun for a 40th birthday and he made everything painless. From recommending the resort based off our preference, to booking air and hotel for everyone. He also booked transportation for the group with Imagine travels private transfer contact Angel who was equally amazing. Angel stayed in constant communication with me to ensure everyone was taken care of for both arrival and departure. He was fantastic to work with and so thoughtful throughout the process. Shane and Imagine Travel took something that would have been so stressful for me to organize and made it a breeze. Would highly recommend, 10/10.
Thank you so much Patrick! Im so glad the birthday bash went without a hitch!! Thanks also for your comments on Angel. Hes unreal and a very important part of our transfer team in Mexico, ill pass on the love! Until next time! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Beth enough! She was super kind and helpful and addressed all of my concerns along the way. We had an amazing honeymoon. We were nervous because we had not traveled in a long time and my husband had never been out of the country. Every detail was taken care of and every experience we had felt safe and fun. Thanks for making our honeymoon so amazing! Also have to mention the amazing view from our room, what an incredible surprise to have after the stress of wedding planning
Hey Mia, First off, congratulations on your big day and honeymoon! We are so glad you loved working with Beth, She really puts her heart into every trip, and your review helps others to know that. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
Fantastic experience: Hello Shane and Imagine Travel, Let me tell you, me wife, mom, dad, and me were very happy with the whole trip. El Dorado hotel was very very top of the line. We enjoyed every day and night at the hotel. Staffing was awesome, all the staff. Room service was great. The breakfast, lunch and dinner was great. The rooms was clean every day. El Dorado hotel was very good. Angel and his team of driver was great also. The Gide he got us for the Chichén Itzá excursion Jonathan was awesome. Jonathan (gide) was knowledgeable on the Mayan history, and able to answer questions we had of the area. We have nothing but good things to report. Thank You so much Shane and your team for this trip. Our next trip will be done with you. Thank You, Family Carbajal
Thank you so much for your kind remarks! Were so glad you had fun. Feel free to reach out anytime for your next adventure!
Fantastic experience: Love Claudia. So helpful and fun to work with
Thank you so much Denise! You can tell she truly loves what she does. We appreciate you taking the time to post this :)
Negative experience: Wanted to set up a European vacation left messages with 3 different people, never heard from them. Went elsewhere.
Hey Rooney, we surely are sorry to see your review. We checked our voicemails which stay in an email folder and had not received a voicemail from you. Are you referring to another agency? We would love to assist you in your plans, call us at 336-617-0137. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic travel agency with fantastic agents! Shane has always been there for us but on our recent trip he found us an even more amazing trip to Europe!!!
Thank you so much for your review, Jerry! It's hard to beat the River Cruises eh?! Congratulations to you and your new bride! We look forward to working with you for many years to come!
Fantastic experience: Shane organized an amazing trip for my family to Ireland, and we had a fabulous time! He took care of every detail, and booked us in the amazing Ashford Castle for an incredible experience! Shane always knows the best places to stay and has resources to tap for expertise and assistance. We have booked many trips with Shane, and have always had an incredible experience at a great price. Highly recommend!!!
Thank you so much Karen for your kind words. We LOVE Ireland and especially Ashford Castle. Really looking forward to helping you with many more adventures in the future!
Fantastic experience: Imagine Travel did a great job for us on our big trip to Italy! It is a great company who is personally knowledgeable of the hotels and tours that we chose from. Not just something they saw online. That meant a lot to us! We will certainly use them again!
Thank you so much Heather! We LOVE Italy and especially love it when it's totally customized ;) So glad you guys had fun and we surely appreciate you taking the time to drop us this awesome review. Looking forward to working with you again in the future.
Fantastic experience: We have just returned from a trip arranged by Shane Lawerence and Viking Cruise Lines to Antarctica. I would highly recommend this trip to adventurous, eager to learn and flexible travelers who love nature, wildlife and remote regions of the world. Travel to Antarctica is not inexpensive but Viking does it correctly with a focus on preserving the environment while educating the traveler about Antarctica. I would not be surprised if trips like this no longer exist in about 10 years time. We booked excursions ahead of time but EVERYTHING in Antarctica can change on a dime. We were able to go down over 600 feet in a submarine. We were able to sea kayak, surprisingly they is very little walking or hiking on Antarctica. Animals have the right of way and Viking does everything to make sure they are safe, protected and left alone. Antarctica was not nearly as cold as I expected lows about 31 degrees, highs of 36. I would describe it as walls of 30-100 ft high glacial ice and snow that is constantly collapsing into the sea. On top of this snow and ice are mountain tops that resemble the Swiss Alps. Is it pristine, unique, and beautiful- ABSOLUTELY. We saw seals, whales and penguins. There were lectures each day so you could learn more about Antarctica. Are there drinks with umbrellas, casinos, pool games - NO. There is a gorgeous pool, hot tub, snow room, dry sauna, wet sauna all to enjoy at no extra charge. There are daily zodiac boat trips, special operations boats, trips ashore but due to the weather nothing is guaranteed. Each trip will be a unique journey. There are many scientists aboard doing research and interacting with the passengers every step of the way. I cannot recommend Viking enough for this journey- they bend over backwards to make each day engaging and special. I would recommend arriving in Buenos Aries about three days early to enjoy some sightseeing, a day with the Gauchos, double decker bus tour, food tour, Tango show etc. I cannot recommend Imagine Travel and Shane Lawerence enough if a trip like this appeals to you.
Hey Sandra, Thank you so much for this AMAZING review. So much detail for others to see. Anytime someone calls for Antartica in the future, we'll send them to this review so they can see what you thought first hand. Also, you've traveled with us for many years... Thank you for your continued business and support! We hope to make every new trip an even better adventure than before, but this one might be hard to top! Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: Shane and his team are amazing!! If you’re thinking about going to Disney, please talk to him to get great deals and Disney tips! Everything was perfect for my daughter’s bachelorette trip!!!
Love the family pic!! Thanks so much for your review. There is no magic, without you guys making it! Looking forward to working with you again!
Positive experience: Great place, have no fear of being stabbed
Of all the compliments weve recieved, I must say this is a first. We are ecstatic that you left without a single scratch :) Hopefully you also left happy and ready for your next vacation to a safe area with a similar experience ;).
Fantastic experience: We used Shane to book our honeymoon and it was an excellent experience. Would highly recommend Imagine Travel Vacations and look forward to booking with Shane in the future.
Welcome home Eric and congratulations to you and Sierra! Thanks for the awesome review, lookimg forward to working with you for years to come.
Fantastic experience: My family has booked multiple vacations through Shane for years now. He booked our AMAZING honeymoon last year and we called him this year for a potential anniversary trip to Jamaica! Well, 45 minutes later, we were fully booked for a once of a lifetime trip through Rome and the Greek Isles. (For not much more!) He has such creative trip ideas and fantastic deals! We couldn’t be happier.
Hey Alex! Thanks for this awesome review. Its funny, you call wanting Jamaica and wind up in Italy and Greece! That might scare some people off, but we feel most would love it :) For you to have that kind of trust in us is very humbling. We are all very excited to spend time with you there! Ciao for now!
Fantastic experience: Shane is the best! He's very responsive and listens to our wants and needs. We were originally working with A Way to Go Travel and I wasn't impressed. Down right refused to provide a quote for a resort we had our hearts set on. I will certainty be booking again.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We can't really comment on other agencies, because we are all in this wild and wacky industry together, BUT, we are very grateful that you chose us! We are super excited to work with you in the future!
Fantastic experience: I worked with Claudia today to book a vacation to Punta Cana and she was absolutely wonderful. She was patient with me and took time to explain to me all my options. Booking was easy and quick and there was no pressure at all. She worked with our budget and needs and was very kind and understanding. We will definitely use Imagine travel again for our next trip!
Thank you so much for your review Lis! It means so much to us. We look forward to working with you for years to come!
Fantastic experience: Shane has been amazing! We have had to postpone our Mexico vacation for 11 people 2 times! He has been patient and empathetic with our reasons for postponing the trip. And has been able to reschedule everything with no problems at all. He is the best travel agent we have ever had and I highly recommend Imagine Travel for any of your travel needs!
Kim, thank you so very much for this very kind review. We care about our clients like they were our very own family. Things do come up, life happens.. And we are so blessed to be able to get things moved around for you and take that added stress off. We look forward to seeing your family pics for years to come!
Fantastic experience: Shane is simply the best. I cannot express how grateful we are to him for working MAGIC to move our Ireland and Scotland trip after half of our group got COVID just 2 days before the flight. He handled everything so quickly, which let us not stress and just get healthy. I already knew he was amazing for planning our PERFECT (yall, 5star) Costa Rica anniversary trip last year, and Mexico honeymoon. We'll be sticking with Shane and Imagine Travel for sure :)
Krystal, thank you so much for this amazing review. Sometimes we can't stop bad things from happening, but what matters is that we react in the most compassionate and helpful way that we can. I am so sorry you got covid right before your trip! I know next month you'll have a blast though. We are saying prayers you and your friends feel better very soon!
Fantastic experience: Shane has literally been great with all the booking! He even fixed all our craziness when we had to change our trip 2 days before due to covid!! Literally couldn't ask for a better agent!
Rebecca, thank you so very much for this review! Just glad we could work it out for you. The main thing is that you get better, and then you are up and off to the races! Ireland, here yall come!
Fantastic experience: I wanted to book a special trip for my mom this year for her birthday and I was super nervous about it. I didn't know where to begin. I did a little research on travel agencies and I'm so, so, so thankful I came across this agency to help me book my trip! Shane, thank you for everything!! Hawaii was absolutely amazing, unreal! There was no better feeling than to see my mom so happy! We had such a great time. Everything was perfect! I will be bothering you for any future trips for as long as you'll let me! Thank you again Shane! 10/10 recommend! Pictures do this place NO justice!
Hey Heidy, Thank you so much for letting me know how awesome the trip was! Its getting reviews like this that keep us excited to stay in this career (other than going ourselves of course lol)! You can "bother" us anytime you want about your next trip. Tell mom hi for us and Mahalo!
Negative experience: Customer service rep hung up on me twice before finally helping me after I said I need help booking. The rep was so rude it felt like he was mad at me for calling. I felt uncomfortable and I was just on the phone e. I will never book with this company again.
I think this review was for another company. I'm the co-owner Shane and im the only man in the office, ive never hung up on a client. I cant imagine that. Hopefully youll see this reply and figure out it mustve been Imagine car detail services or something lol
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Claudia Murphy to secure our Maui honeymoon this coming October. My experience with her and Imagine Travel has been nothing less than amazing. Claudia is very kind and responsive, and is more than willing to answer all of my questions. She worked diligently to ensure that me and my fiancé's desires for our honeymoon would be met, and provided us with many affordable package options. Claudia has went above and beyond what I would expect any travel agent to do in helping us plan out every detail. If you are looking for an exceptional travel agent, look no further!
Sydney, thank you so much for posting such a sweet review about Claudia. You really can tell that she loves what she does and puts her heart into helping people. I know this review will mean a lot to her. Thanks and have an amazing honeymoon!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to plan a trip! The staff here will do all they can to ensure your vacation meets, and exceeds, your expectations.
Negative experience: Requested information online, called and left messages, no reply.
Hey Jennifer! We are so sorry for the delay, we were running a charity event in Charlotte and we had so much to put together we are running a few days behind. I'll gladly give you a discount on your package for your wait. Would you mind taking this down? Please email me at [email protected] Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Shane and his entire crew are amazing!! They booked our honeymoon a few years ago and then hooked us up with an awesome experience on the Carolina Country Music Cruise recently. Everything was so seamless and perfect from beginning to end. We will be using Imagine Travel for all of our travel needs!!
Fantastic experience: First time using a travel agent, what an easy process. Beth took all the guess work out of planing and made it super simple! I highly recommend them for your next trip.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely an amazing experience booking my Carolina Country music cruise. Shane went above and beyond to make sure all my needs were met, he was super friendly and always responsive. I couldn’t have ask for better service. I’m so looking forward to five days on the carnival sunshine with over 20 amazing country music artists. A dream come true, can’t wait to see Cole Swindell again and really excited to see Lee Brice.
Fantastic experience: You know, when people talk about GOATs, they talk about people like Lebron and Tom Brady, but Shane is undoubtedly the absolute GOAT. 8 years ago, I walked into his office and said, “I want to go to Europe, but don’t know where.” He arranged an unforgettable two week trip around Ireland for me and my husband. In the last 8 years, he has arranged as many trips and if you want to talk about, what I’m sure makes an annoying client, it’s probably me... overthinking everything and reading WAY too many reviews. He has never lost his patience and I will continue utilizing his services until he fires me. I cannot wait to see where he sends me next. Thank you Shane for helping me live my life to the fullest!
Kristen, so you know I never saw this review! Oh I love it! The GOAT?! I dunno about that ;). As you know, I'm always here for you. Thank you for leaving this, sorry for my 4 year late response lol
Fantastic experience: Shane, did a wonderful job helping me to plan my honeymoon. I called him not really knowing what I wanted to do and he immediately was able to steer me to my heart’s desire. I could not have asked for a better honeymoon. My husband and I stayed a couple of days in Venice - the hotel we stayed at really was luxury - words can not describe the Baglioni Hotel Luna. After Venice we spent a week doing a river cruise with Viking. The experience was amazing and I seriously considered never leaving the boat! I can’t express how wonderful and easy it was to work with Shane. He took care of the itinerary and answered all my travel questions. He responded immediately to every concern that I had. I could not have had a better experience! Shane really listened to what I wanted and made it happen! I am very pleased!
Fantastic experience: Friends have blessed me with fantastic travel quotes and infinite wisdom on travel locations. Kaitlyn Nance is a great organizer and people person!
Thank you so much for your kind review on Kaitlyn! We are certainly a better company because of agents like her!
Fantastic experience: Best Deli in all of Greensboro. Great customer service and the restaurant was clean, the food was delicious. The food, portions and price was very reasonable. I left very impressed and satisfied. I will be returning to the Carolina Deli on a regular basis.
We are glad to hear the vacation you planned was a real culinary experience.. Weve never been compared to a satisfying Mater sandwich but well take it!
Fantastic experience: I've booked twice through Shane and his awesome assistant at imagine travel. In today's information age, it's tempting to book on cheap carribean or Expedia, but booking with Shane saved us big time! Two days before our most recent trip, I realized my wife's airline tickets did not match her passport (married/maiden). I called Shane (on a Sunday) and left a message. Within three minutes I had a text from him explaining he would get it handled. Mind you, this was two days before our trip. There was no "this is your fault, I told you to make sure the names matched passports etc". He just said, yup, we need to fix that, I'll get back with you. 20 mins later, he had the names changed, no fee, and we're in Mexico right now. If it weren't for Shane and his team, I would not have been able to make the trip. Had I booked the trip myself, I would have either paid hundreds in airline fees to change my wife's tickets, or not not been able to come. I'm a prime example of why using a TA is a great idea. I trust Shane's experience and will continue to use Imagine. Save yourself the headache of researching and booking yourself. Call Imagine, give them your budget and what you're looking for and let them do the rest. You won't regret it. Justin and Marissa.
WOW. Thank you for this awesome review. We are so glad you had such a good experience. We like our clients to know weve always got their back. Looking forward to working with you again in the future!
Fantastic experience: Big shout out to Beth!!! She helped us plan an amazing trip to the Dominican Republic for our 15 year wedding anniversary! She took away all the worry and stress of planning something special. Thank you for all your help and support. We are looking forward to doing business with you in the near future!!!
Fantastic experience: Love Shane....... Claudia......Beth are AMAZING
Thank you Angela! We have worked with you so long we consider you family.
Fantastic experience: My daughter and I had an amazing time in Rome. It was such a beautiful city and everything was perfect. Many thanks to Shane at Imagine Travel. He arranged our trip and made sure everything went smoothly, from planning the trip to its execution. We stayed at The Hotel Eden and it was spectacular! Definitely a five star experience. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left, the staff was very attentive. Also the rooms we very comfortable and the bedding was luxurious. Our view of Rome from our balcony was amazing. Shane also arrange for us to have our own personal tour guide, Federica. She was awesome. Her vast knowledge of the history of Rome was second to none. We hit the ground running on our first day., Federica met us at our hotel and off we went...Vatican, the cathedrals, ancient Rome, The Coliseum. Federica was also able to spend some time with us the following day to see St Clemente. She was a wealth of knowledge and made the sites so intriguing and enjoyable. I highly recommend Shane and Imagine travel. Our trip to Rome was was truly an amazing experience!
Thank you so much for this feedback! We will send your review to Frederica and the Hotel Eden, they will be thrilled. So glad you and your daughter had the trip of a lifetime!
Fantastic experience: We went on an Alaskan Cruise for our 30th wedding anniversary and Shane Lawrence at Imagine Travel guided us through the huge mass of information that is "Cruises"! He was very knowledgeable and recommend Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. He also directed us to the cruise planner website that Royal Caribbean offers. It was a beautiful trip with excellent service, comfortable rooms and plenty to do while cruising between ports.
Positive experience: We used Imagine Travel to book our honeymoon to Jamaica. While the resort and Jamaican experience was amazing, we were disappointed in the flight tickets this travel agency got for us. We didn't have window seats either way, we were over the wing both times, and were directly at the restrooms where people were constantly up and down in addition to having the odor to deal with for 3 hours. For our next travel adventure, we plan to book our own resort and airline tickets.
Hey Rebekah, thanks for taking the time to send us your review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the actual resort and honeymoon experience! Unfortunately all airlines get some bad reviews, we do hear airline experience stories all the time and aren't surprised. We can only book the seats available when you book the vacation but you can always pay the airline fee to upgrade to preferred seating or business class with us. Sadly airlines have done a lot to find ways to make more money and its not great for the travelers. On your next vacation we are happy to go over your seats and extend you an extra discount. Hope that helps :) Thanks and congratulations again!
Fantastic experience: Just wanted to drop you a quick note to THANK YOU for setting Lisa and I up with CIE for our Ireland tour. We were a bit apprehensive about vacationing via a structured tour but it turned out to exceed our expectations in every way….there were no surprises and every detail was exactly as advertised. The transfers, hotels, tour guide, coach, everything was so nice that I can’t see how anyone could be less than completely satisfied. We would tour with CIE without any hesitation and will certainly continue to recommend Imagine Travel to all our friends.
Fantastic experience: There is not enough time or space to praise them, especially Claudia Murphy of this company, the way they deserve. She went above and beyond my expectations of a travel agent! When my plans blew up in smoke, she was the first one reassuring me we will work on a plan B and worked tirelessly to provide an even better secondary option. HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone looking for a great travel agent!
Fantastic experience: This was the most amazing experience I have ever encountered!! God is so GOOD and Shane is very helpful and understanding of your travel needs!! You will NOT be sorry!!! Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: Shane was great in helping prepare for our 2 week trip to Amsterdam and Munich with a Viking Rhine River cruise and extension to Lucerne in between. He gave us hotel options, tips on what to see and do, and made the arrangements. All of his recommendations were spot on! Highly recommend and we will use him for our next trip.
Fantastic experience: Shane helped 10 of us plan a trip to Sandal's Resort in the Bahamas. Every detail was smooth and easy. Absolutely terrific!
We are so glad that all of you had fun Philip! Looks like the 10 of you need to make this a yearly tradition? ;) Welcome home and thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience: Shane was a lot of fun to work with and gave me all the information I needed to set up a tremendous honeymoon. We told him what we wanted out of a trip, and he gave us the destination he had in mind and a number of resorts to choose from. Our vacation exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend Imagine.
Im so glad you enjoyed your honeymoon Nick! Looks like we have an Anniversary to plan soon ;) Thanks for the review! Means so much to us.
Fantastic experience: What can I say about Shane that hasn't already been said in other reviews? He and his team are absolutely fantastic. They ensured that our vacation was perfect with zero stress. I am thrilled to have finally found a travel agent that I can trust and I can't recommend him or his team highly enough! Can't wait to book our next destination w/ Imagine Travel Vacations!
Jonathan, thanks so much man for this awesome review! I'm humbled when I read these. We definitely enjoy working with you, so we're here when you are ready for your next adventure!
Fantastic experience: I am going on my 4th European vacation next month that I booked through Shane at Imagine Travel. I will never book a trip overseas on my own again. Shane and his staff literally take care of every detail. He even goes the extra mile and books extra hotel rooms for before and after my tour, he books the transfers to and from the airport and hotels, and will book overseas airline tickets if I need them. He suggested tour companies and locations that were perfect for me, and has been on many of them himself, so he really knows what he is talking about! I am from a small town in Wyoming, and we do not even have a travel agency. It was a lucky day for me when a friend told me about Imagine Travel and Shane. I have used CIE and Trafalgar tour companies, have traveled to Ireland, the entire UK, Italy, and Scotland, all tours booked by Shane, and have not been disappointed even once.
Fantastic experience: This was the first real vacation for my family and I. Shane arranged a trip for 6 adults and 1 baby to the Dreams Resort at Riviera Maya. We were blown away the resort. Top notch everything....rooms, staff, food, activities. Shane did an amazing job putting together this vacation for us. I just told him our travel dates and what we were looking for and he performed the magic . None of us will every forget this trip.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience. Shane Lawrence did an excellent job on our honeymoon. Highly recommend!
Negative experience: Do not use Imagine Travel located at 313 S Greene St Ste 301 Greensboro NC 27401 for a Disney World vacation. Six months before our vacation, a co-owner at that location stated that you cannot book Bippity Boppity Boutique until 90 days before arrival. So I called the boutique 90 days before arrival, to find they were booked up at the Magic Kingdom and that reservations can be made up to 180 days before arrival. Today, less than 2 months before our vacation, I also found that she did not even make our flight reservations, that she left us to believe it was taking care of months ago. Due to this frustrating news, we are having to postpone our Disney vacation so things can be set up correctly by another agency. However, she did set up a prior vacation for us at the Turks and Caicos that was Fabulous! I have no doubt that there may be other locations she may be more of an expert on, just not Disney.
We are very sorry that you feel this way, however your Bippity Boppity reservations had been confirmed at Disney Springs (the most up to date location) vs the Magic kingdom location. We were not informed which location you preferred. Also, in previous emails you had stated that you were booking airfare on your own. We gave the client a full refund with no questions asked. We are a Certified Disney agency so your satisfaction is #1 on our priority list. Thank you for the compliment on your Beaches vacation :).
Positive experience: Service is great. You get what you ask for so ask all of the questions that you need. Very polite staff. I'm definitely going to use them again.
Fantastic experience: My now husband and I booked our Honeymoon through Shane & were so happy with the start to our marriage we got! We went to Secrets Akumal in the Maya Riviera in Mexico and it was wonderful! Shane and his team made me feel completely at ease knowing that every aspect of our Honeymoon was taken care of. He responds well to your emails & calls back quickly. He also is so personable & friendly. He listened to everything we wanted and nailed our Honeymoon. It was beyond amazing! I will be using him in the future, and referring him to EVERYONE we know.
Fantastic experience: Booked our Honeymoon through Shane. He was great. He showed us multiple places to choose from after listening to what we were looking for and helped make a final decision. He booked everything for us that day and we walked away very happy. All we had to do was show up at the airport. It was a beautiful week in the Dominican Republic. We will definitely use him again in the future.
Fantastic experience: I used Imagine Travel to book our trip to Disney World. Shane has been excellent and worked with me every step of the way to ensure we got the best deal and all the perks. I highly recommend them for all your travel needs.
Fantastic experience: Shane managed a large group for my wedding and handled all of our various guests with ease. We had some complexity, given guests were traveling from around the U.S. to meet the group aboard a Celebrity Cruise. Shane was responsive and helpful, and was genuinely in-tune with my needs as the group administrator (and bride). I'd recommend him for individual or group need. His attitude is very positive, and he aims to serve.
Fantastic experience: I had THE BEST experience today with Claudia! Imagine travel is definitely the place to be. After having a terrible experience at way to go travel, imagine travel was able to turn my vacation planning into a pleasant experience. I look forward to doing buisness with imagine travel from now on!
Fantastic experience: Shane is the man. He just worked with me to go to Secrets Playa Bonita Panama. He was there for my wife and I every step of the way. Everyone thinks booking vacations through all these sites advertised on TV is easy and cheap, but the fact is, travel agents like Shane still beat them out every single time. If you are looking to book a trip, highly recommend you use Imagine Travel and Shane.
Fantastic experience: Jessica Youngier did an excellent job planning our trip to Turks and Caicos. We just gave her an idea of what our expectations were and she took that and planned my husband and I a perfect trip, She was very attentive to our needs during our trip and constantly let us know she was there to serve us if needed. She made suggestions to us as to what to do and what restaurants to try, she also worked to get us upgrades and wished us well before we left and followed up with us after we returned. She has become a friend through the process and genuinely strives to make sure your trip is perfect. We will definitely call on her for any other trips we plan to take. Thanks again Jessica! Terry
Fantastic experience: Shane was awesome from day one, he got everything right from the beginning. The hotel was beautiful everything he said it would be! Imagine Travel thank you so much for a wonderful time!!!! You are stuck with us!
Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend this company. Shane is awesome!!
Negative experience: If there was a 0 star I would have given them. I used them to book my flight last month. They charged my card three times and that made me have the waste start of the year in my entire life. The only answer they could give was that they also didn't know what had happened and that my $2000 refund would come after the new year. The one star is to thank them because they honored the promise. Got my refund 01/03/2016 and I can now buy the presents I never managed to buy.
Fantastic experience: Shane took care of us for our Honeymoon in Hawaii. The trip was amazing! We started our vacation on Oahu staying in Waikiki for 2 days then took a small plane over to Maui for the rest of our stay. The hotels were first class, beautiful resorts with everything you could imagine! Shane set us up with a rental car in Maui and we drove all over the island getting to see all of Maui and its beautiful coasts and volcanos. It was a wonderful trip and Hawaii totally lived up to my expectations. Shane took care of everything Hotels, flights and rental car so we did not have to worry about a thing on our vacation. This is the 3rd time Shane has helped me book a vacation and each one was better than the last! I will continue to use Shane and Imagine Travel for my vacation needs and would definitely recommend them to make any vacation spectacular! Thanks Again Shane!!
Fantastic experience: Jessica takes care of her clients like family, going above and beyond to ensure your trip is everything you hoped it would be. She is attentive and patient through every step of the process, offering her expertise during decision-making times. I could not recommend Jessica more highly.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I have used Shane for many trips and have never been disappointed. He is very knowledgeable and will make sure your travel destination matches what you are looking for. Shane has first hand knowledge of all of the destinations he recommends and will never send you somewhere he would not go himself in a minute. Put your trust in my friend and he will not let you down.
Fantastic experience: We used Imagine Travel for our honeymoon to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Our agent was Shane Lawrence. First off, Shane was excellent. He helped us every step of the way. We ran into a bit of issues last minute with my wife's passport and her plane ticket not matching (Our fault.) Normally this would be a fee charged by the Airport but Shane handled everything smoothly and with much patience and customer service. We are definitely going to book with Imagine and specifically Shane again. The accommodations he found and booked were excellent. Punta Can a was beautiful. Just got back and my wife and I miss it already!!!
Thanks so much for the review Justin! Im so glad you had fun on your honeymoon! These reviews mean so much to us, it really makes our day. I look forward to working with you again!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Jessica Younginer at Imagine Travel! Last year our family was in the midst of a very stressful time and needed a "travel escape" during the Christmas Holiday season. Having always booked our family vacations over the years and previous hotel and airline employment experience, I had never felt the need for a travel agent. After exhausting my already stressed self looking for flights and hotels that were already booked due to the holidays, I caved and called Jessica after several friends had recommended her. Needless to say she was our savior! She presented us with several options and had our perfect vacation booked within days. Couldn't have done it without her!
Fantastic experience: I have used my Imagine Travel agent, Jessica Younginer, for over 4 years now. From a big group of girlfriends, to an intimate trip with my family, Jessica always offers me the best options. She has come through for me in many countries, states and cities. I trust her to answer me at any hour and I now consider her a good friend!! I highly recommend her trip to Greece and the South of France:)
Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Jessica Younginer enough for all her expertise. Jessica's knowledge of traveling and overall customer service is the best in the business. She leaves no stone unturned to make your vacation first class and hassle free. The team at Imagine Travel Vacations is very lucky to have her on their team. I will continue to use her to book all my vacation needs.
Fantastic experience: Jessica is Extremely knowledgeable and helped us pick the 'right' place for our family. Won't travel without her!
Fantastic experience: Always been such an EASY experience and I have never been directed in the wrong direction. I have used Imagine Travels for every vacation I have gone on in the past few years and I will keep using them moving forward.
Fantastic experience: I have worked with Shane at Imagine Travel for 8 years now...he has helped me plan many vacations!! I tried to research and book on my own but it was so overwhelming and confusing. All I do now is pick up the phone and call Imagine Travel. They make traveling effortless and enjoyable, going above and beyond to take care of their clients!! Looking forward to Cabo San Lucas in October...thanks Shane & Imagine Travel!!!
Fantastic experience: I couldn't ask for a better travel agent than Shane Lawrence, and the folks at Imagine Travel. We have booked a couple of top notch trips to Mexico with Shane. He never fails to come through for us. Shane does a good job of listening to your "likes", then suggesting a trip you'd "love", and doing it at a great price. As someone who likes to do it myself, I always wonder if I could do as good a job as someone else, doing it for me. Not in this case. Shane has connections from here to the moon, and delivers every time. We're lucky enough to have been upgraded at many of the destinations along the way. Great job, Shane. We'll be back soon! We have lots of places to go, if only the bank account cooperates!
Fantastic experience: Maria Hodge helped make our Disney vacation SPECTACULAR!!. She has helped plan our past 2 trips to Disney. Because of her in-depth knowledge of Disney, we were able to get the best rates, go to the best restaurants, and see the best sites. She really knows how Disney works and gives very helpful tips on how to get the most out of a trip to Disney World. We love Maria and the help she has provided with our travel plans over the past few years. Next, we cruise with Royal Caribbean... thanks again Maria!
Thank you so much for your review! We are very happy to have Maria on our team. This will mean alot to her as it does to us!
Fantastic experience: Shane is a rock star! We've worked with him for a couple of years now and every time he'll create a package that is perfect for our family. He will give you "insider" tips on what to see and do while on your trip. He will tell you what to avoid or what isn't worth the time or money. He is a godsend in the Travel world. I'd be lost (figuratively and literally) without him! I look forward to planning each and every family trip with Shane and his team at Imagine Travel.
Fantastic experience: This agency and in particular Kristin Kocher was recommended to us with rave reviews. Since we are not in state there was some hesitancy but we couldn't resist the reviews. Thank goodness we found Imagine Travel and Kristin in particular. She was able to organize a trip to Hawaii (5 people, two islands, rental cars, specials and deals to include free nights and breakfast for everyone, inter-island flights, and recommendations for other activities, with honest reviews of the hotels suggested) in less than one week with a very challenging customer ; ) Ms. Kocher even kept in touch from her own vacation and remained involved in the details. While it's true there are many options in Boston for travel agencies, having Ms. Kocher and her team available to assist us will make choosing this company for all our or future travel needs a definite!
Fantastic experience: We contacted Shane at Imagine Travel to plan our family vacation. He came highly recommended by a friend. We were unsure of exactly where we wanted to go. Shane gave us several recommendations well suited for our family and we chose one of those. We just got home and it was amazing! We had a great time. The airline he recommended for us (Interjet) was great and it was the first time my husband (who is 6'4") has actually had leg room on a plane without being in an exit row! We will most certainly be calling Shane for all our future travel adventures! Great job!!
Fantastic experience: Top notch customer service! Shane was great and very patient with helping us pick the best place that we were looking for. Went to Excellence Playa Mujerus in mexico and then stayed longer (thanks to Shane's quick help) and stayed at Zoetry Isla Mujerus also! Thanks for all your help Shane!
Thanks so much for the review Joe! Were glad you had a great time! We look forward to working with you again in the future!
Fantastic experience: Shane Lawrence and Imagine Travel vastly exceeded our expectations in planning our recent trip to Europe. We originally planned to fly to Amsterdam to begin our Viking River Cruise of Europe. However, during our preparations we discovered that the Royal Princess would be crossing the Atlantic to arrive in Amsterdam on the same day the Viking tour began at a price less than air fare. Without a hiccup, Shane made the changes, cancelled the flight, made our reservations for the ship and arranged for all the transfers. Since retiring three years ago we have been on several trips to Europe, Iceland, and Alaska. This tour was among the best. Before our vacation really got started, on the way across the Atlantic the Royal Princess stopped at the Azores, Ireland, Belgium and the Netherlands. As usual, their service including the food, the accommodations, the entertainment and the excursions was impeccable. This was our first crossing with Princess Cruises; it will not be the last. While we have been on a river cruise tour of Venice, Northern Italy, and Tuscany before with another company, our experience was that this Viking River Cruise of the Rhine-Main-Danube was superior to anything we have enjoyed before. The accommodations, onboard lectures, and excursion arrangements were equal to those of previous cruises, and the food was even better. The flavor, variety and portion size were more to our liking. It is amazing that the staff and crew of the Viking Ingvi consists of only some sixty persons. We felt as though we had our own personal staff as every need or desire we could conceivably have was quickly and more than adequately addressed. We heartily commend both of Shane Lawrence and Imagine Travel, and Viking River Cruises for offering superlative service and excellent value. We will be using both again.
Negative experience: After reading such awesome reviews we used Imagine to book an Italian vacation. It started out great but then we were passed off to someone else "who had more experience in Italy." Again, it started off great - she was super nice - but then it went down hill. Our itinerary, after we requested it, was a bunch of info copied into a word doc, which was very confusing. Just before the trip we learned we were not even sitting next to each other on one of the flights (and we only learned that after asking for the full flight details including the seats). We learned we were booked 30+ minutes from the destination we requested because the destination we requested did not often work with travel agents. We tried to book tours but they came back several hundred dollars higher than what we found ourselves online and our food preferences were either never passed to the TA that finally booked our trip, or they were never passed to the airline which resulted in a very uncomfortable and hungry flights. Thank goodness for granola bars! In the process we were even told that they prefer to book tours or cruises because they are easier. Well heck, I could do that myself. In the end, we ended up cancelling on of their hotels and finding one on our own so that we could be were we wanted. And we booked our own tours. It was disappointing though because we opted to use a travel agent to make things less time consuming and stressful. As nice as they were (and they are!) I would not use them again.
Fantastic experience: Booking with imagine travel was a breeze, we had never been out of the country before and Shane helped us every step of the way. He answered all of our questions big and small. We will be booking with them for our future trips,A plus company and again Shane was great!!
