Travelmakers: Reviews
Fantastic experience: We had the best experience with Jeff at TravelMakers! We wanted a 2 week trip to Italy with our family to be memorable, fun and truly exciting! Jeff delivered on all counts. Pizza cooking lessons, private go cart tours, private boat to Capri and instant hop into rowboat to experience the Blue Grotto, no lines, no fuss! That was just a tiny piece of our entire trip! All the private drivers, private tours and perfect hotel locations especially the hotel in Rome connected to the Spanish Steps was the icing on the cake. The perfect location! Call Jeff! He will deliver!!
Thank you so much for your review Akemi-I’m so glad everything came together seamlessly!I truly appreciate your trust in TravelMakers, and I look forward to helping you plan your next unforgettable travel experience
Fantastic experience: We just came home from the most perfect vacation thanks to Travel Makers! Everything was arranged for us, we were met at the airports, driven to our destinations, tour guides at each destination. There was no stress on our end just pure enjoyment. From city tours, to wine tasting, two beautiful reserves and an unforgettable safari! Thank you so much to your team! It made our trip a trip of a lifetime!
Thank you Wendy for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that your Safari was stress-free and filled with such amazing experiences. We appreciate you trusting TravelMakers to curate your trip of a lifetime and can’t wait to help you plan the next one!

Fantastic experience: BJ Holmes, Travelmakers, provided excellent assistance for our group of 12 women visiting Miraval from 5 states. She helped coordinate the members’ arrivals and offered spot-on suggestions for classes and services custom tailored to each group member. When I returned home and reviewed my Miraval account more closely, I noted a potential discrepancy that BJ Holmes gladly helped to resolve. I would highly recommend BJ for her personal touch to the traveling endeavor.
Carol, we're so glad you used Bj to help coordinate your Women's group for travel!
Fantastic experience: Our trip was really nice. We loved the ship and all of the speciality options. However, we do have a few negative reviews. First, the casino drink service gets a zero out of ten. They are rude, don’t come around, or you don’t know that they’re walking by because they don’t say “drinks” while walking by. Most of the time if you did see them and said drinks while they walked by they would ignore you. Once I finally did get a person, they were rude and would not give me a soda without charging me. I had the beverage package and had been served a soda in the casino a number of times prior to this occurrence. Another complaint is the way the excursions are presented on cruise and what the excursions actually are. All the excursions we booked, according to the cruise details, were moderate. When we received our tickets they all stated extreme activity. I purposely didn’t book extreme activity since I just got out of the hospital with pneumonia so extreme would be too much. When we were on the excursions, they were so different for myself to do.
Fantastic experience: Thank you for everything. Amazing service every time. I will continue to use your service.
Thanks Julie! TravelMakers appreciates you and thank you for using our Travel services over the years.
Fantastic experience: We have received excellent service from BJ Holmes of Travelmakers the many times we have used her. She has recommended wonderful places for us to visit and all of her travel recommendations and reservations she has made for us have been terrific. She helped us negotiate the confusing market for trip insurance (highly recommended) and worked with the trip insurance company to get us the refunds which were due. We highly recommend working with BJ for a great trip and peace of mind.
Thank you Joe for your thoughtful feedback! It’s great that Bj was able to make all your journeys memorable and worry-free and so glad to hear that you’ve enjoyed the destinations and recommendations that Bj has curated for you!

Fantastic experience: When my wife told me that she wanted to go to Africa I had my doubts and trepidations. I’m not a very good traveler. But she allayed my fears by talking to me of Bj Holmes, your peerless travel agent. I must say that after all was said and done, BJ’s attention to detail and flawless follow-through made our trip to Africa the perfect memory for my life. We couldn’t have done it without her. From now on we are going to book all our travel itineraries through Bj. She is the absolute best! Lois Bourgon and Jack Messenger.
Thanks Lois and Jack! We're so glad you had a memorable vacation in Africa and that Bj was able to not only meet but exceed your expectations when it came to the planning and execution of your trip!
Fantastic experience: I wanted to plan our first European River cruise for March/April 2025. I contacted Kelly Good. We started making plans a full year ahead. She was very patient for me being a first timer . Our cruise is with Viking but she helped me work through decisions. She was able to get us assigned seating on our flights. I wanted to take a side trip in Netherlands. Kelly made arrangements for rental car. She gave me pointers on getting through European airports. Apparently there are APPS for everything. Kelly has been an amazing source for information and keeping me on task plus supplying me with reassurance that I can do this.
Thank you Christine for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to hear that Kelly provided such exceptional service in planning your first European river cruise. Having a travel Advisor guide you through the ins and outs of European travel is invaluable. Wishing you an incredible Viking cruise and an unforgettable adventure in Europe

She cares about her clients and it shows in her interactions with us. We have sent several couples to her for their travel plans and she always gets it right. I HIGHLY recommend her for your travel needs. We will never use another travel agent!!!
Lori thanks for your review. Kelly is the best and all her clients love her!
Fantastic experience: Kelly possesses exceptional qualities that make her an invaluable asset to any travel planning endeavor.

She is adept at generating a comprehensive list of potential options, suggesting five ideas at the very beginning of your conversation. I will be using her and Travel Makers for all my future vacations, from start to finish. She is with you the entire way and made my dream anniversary trip a reality! This experience has created a connection between my husband and me, inspiring us to set more travel goals in the future.
Thanks Nat for your awesome travel review! Kelly is definitely one of the best travel advisors in the industry. May you have lots of great travel experiences in the years to come!
Fantastic experience: We worked with Kelly to plan our trip to Italy, it included a cruise along with shore excursions and additional stays in Rome and Venice. Kelly was professional, knowledgeable and created the perfect trip within our budget. We are already thinking about our next vacation and will use Kelly to assist us again!
Thanks for your great review Cindy. Reviews like yours further validate how important it is to use an experienced travel advisor like Kelly! We're so glad she was able to curate the exceptional Italy vacation that you and your family enjoyed so much.
Fantastic experience: Pedro Ayala from Travelmakers made all of our arrangements for our week-long cruise to include excursions at two ports and recommendations for things to do on our own at one port.

Fantastic experience: Robin Gonzales is the most wonderful travel agent ever !! My husband and I have worked with Robin for many years. Her attention to detail, listening to her clients needs, as well as her responsiveness, makes Robin a master at her craft ! We are getting ready to embark on our first river cruise through the Douro River through Portugal that Robin helped organize for us. We are beyond thrilled to celebrate our 60th birthday as this was our gift to each other. Thank you Robin for your years of friendship, as well as your remarkable work ethic !!
I'm glad Robin helped you celebrate your 60th on a Portugal River cruise. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Fantastic experience: Robin Gonzales with Travelmakers planned my last two cruises. She is professional, efficient, timely, and with her expertise was able to plan our perfect trip. She understood what my husband and I wanted and was able to bring to our attention things we did not even know that we wanted. Both cruises were amazing. We will only book our future trips with Robin. She is great!
Thanks for your review Michelle. We're glad you felt confident in using Robin to assist you in realizing your travel dreams!
Fantastic experience: Robin Gonzales - Absolutely the best in the travel business! 5 stars does not do Robin justice! Our rating for Robin is 10 stars! Robin has been our travel agent for more than 25 years! Robin is extremely professional in every facet of the word. Robin knows the travel business inside and out - literally - Robin has been to every country and destination we have traveled and a lot more - which is pretty extensive. The recommendations Robin has made have been spot on! Robin not only has taken care of our travel needs but our friends and family as well.

Fantastic experience: Mona Stephenson with Travelmakers planned my trip to Croatia for me a few weeks ago. I was so fortunate to find her online and she planned my trip exactly as I wanted it to be. This was my first solo trip and I had anxiety about everything! She always checked in with me throughout the trip. Croatia was amazing! Safe, clean, gorgeous scenery and my 10 days was paced well. All the excursions were excellent. Thank you Mona for making this trip so memorable! I can’t wait for my next one planned with her!
Thanks for your review! Croatia is a wonderful destination and you couldn't have found a better Travel Advisor than Mona to help you with your travel planning
Fantastic experience: Mona Stephenson with Travelmakers planned an amazing trip to Cabo for my husband and my anniversary! To say it was incredible would be an understatement. Mona, with Travelmakers, we cannot thank you enough for your recommendation and putting this trip together. Your communication throughout the planning process and keeping us organized took the stress away and helped create a wonderful travel experience. Transportation was coordinated perfectly, and it was so nice not having to worry about it once we got there. Dreams resort was beautiful and the view from our room was absolutely breath-taking. One of our favorite parts was the “all-inclusive” aspect. We definitely took advantage of the room service, unlimited food and drinks, and restaurants that were at our resort. Not to mention, the amazing service; they let us upgrade our room for free because we were in front of a noisy pool! We enjoyed most of our days relaxing by the beach or pools. We took your recommendation one evening and went on a sunset sailboat excursion along the Sea of Cortez and saw the famous Arch. It was a highlight of our trip. We also had the opportunity to visit the beautiful Flora Farms. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cabo. They grow all their own organic food at the farm and serve it farm-to-table at their restaurant. The food was phenomenal and it was fun to do a little tour around the farm after. This trip was an unforgettable experience! I cannot thank you enough for all your effort and recommendations. We’re looking forward to booking our next trip with Your Travel Affair in the future! — at Dreams Los Cabos Suites Golf Resort & Spa.
Thanks for booking your memorable Cabo vacation with Mona and TravelMakers! We hope we can assist you with your future travel plans wherever your destination may be.
Fantastic experience: Our travel agent, Nia Anderson, really stepped in and helped guide and plan our trip to the Caribbean. We appreciate her professionalism and the words of advice. Our trip was simply amazing!
It sounds like you had a great trip to the Caribbean! Thanks for your review and your recognizing Nia and TravelMakers. We appreciate it very much.
Fantastic experience: I found Mona Stephenson with Travelmakers after reviewing a multitude of agents and websites for my first-time venture to Tahiti. It is also my first experience in working with a travel specialist to curate a journey that has lived in my heart for over 20 years. I was seeking a person to weave something magical and felt very unsure about how any of this actually comes together. Mona's enthusiasm and kindness came across in the photographs on her site and when we spoke, she was already aligning with her Tahiti colleagues to share my vision and preferences for the Marquesas Islands. Finding a specialist you meet over the wires for the first time requires a unique trust. You are asking someone you do not know to organise a dream on your behalf. A beautiful synchronicity arrived in our conversations and Mona's efforts to insure that details were organized to support my experience and discovery, became immediately comforting. Mona is always available for my inquiries and as I am writing this prior to my departure, I believe there will be even more pearls to share when I have returned home. Thank you Mona for your smile across the sky to bring my journey to joy! Here is my second half of my review after returning from my journey to Tahiti and beyond! Travel Genies, Christine Butler and Mona Stephenson of Tahiti Legends/Travelmakers became absolute pearls in the way they looked after me on my first sojourn to Tahiti and her islands. There were so many firsts in this journey, yet they knew how to provide communication and comfort for this introduction to French Polynesia. They organized everything for me and offered every detail necessary and went beyond what I could have imagined. They put me in touch with their Tahiti team when I arrived, who were equally incredible. Mona offered a beautiful arrival gift for me in Nuku Hiva and Chris was the touchstone for making changes for me to go to Bora~Bora for a treasured experience and she managed somehow to create savings for me with transfers and flight changes. Everything about the way they work together was gracious and exuberant. They each knew I was writing a book and provided the path to the threshold of Nuku Hiva and Hiva Oa and then my unexpected leap to Bora~Bora. I was swept away by their service, kindness and divine way of handling details that were truly beyond my depth. A splendid surprise arrived with the gift of Air Tahiti's Business Lounge; I discovered there was a shower! After the heat and travel of the day, I was instantly restored and rejuvenated for my long flight home. I am in oceans of gratitude to these wonderful women of Tahiti Legends/Travelmakers who became smiling pillars to the temple of my joy. Thank you x many blue sky thank you's, Christine & Mona
Mona is always available to answer your inquiries about travel which adds an extra layer of reassurance, and it's clear that her commitment to your journey has made a lasting impression on you. It's wonderful to see that your journey brought you joy through her efforts and expertise.

Fantastic experience: My sister and I booked a "bucket list" trip to Manhattan. Our travel agent was Mona Stephenson, who booked the limousine and hotel. Everything was top notch! The driver was waiting when we arrived at JFK, he was friendly and even showed us a bit of New York, before we stopped at the hotel. Our rooms were luxurious with views of Madison Avenue. Mona told us to try the specials at the piano bar. ( the main restaurant was closed due to Covid) I'm so glad we did, the music, food and drinks were "spot on!". I appreciated that Mona, followed up with emails and texts to make sure that all plans and expectations were met. What a great time!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I booked our trip to Venice last summer with the exceptional help of Mona Stephenson with Travelmakers. She is a delight to work with, great at communication, extremely knowledgeable and you can tell she loves her job, and wants you to have the best experience as if you were family. When our flight was cancelled due to technical issues while we were at the at the airport, she was a phone call away and helped us navigate all of that at almost midnight! She goes above and beyond for her clients. We were so impressed that we have used her to book our Viking River trip next year for ourselves and 2 other couples. She is a gem!
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the Canary Islands planned by Mona Stephenson with Travelmakers!

It was a trip to remember, thank you Mona!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I got married in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic and weren’t able to book a honeymoon. We ended up waiting two years and man was it worth it! Mona Stephenson booked us 9 nights in French Polynesia (4 nights Bora Bora, 4 nights Moorea and 1 night Tahiti) and we had the time of our lives! Everything was perfectly planned and we were able to accomplish all of the desired activities. I would highly recommend booking through Mona for any and all of your vacations.
Fantastic experience: Mona with Travelmakers does a fantastic job at planning all our domestic and international trips. The Budapest river cruise on the Danube was magical and the detour to Prague was amazing! We trust her with all our travels and highly recommend her for any adventure.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I worked with Mona Stephenson from Travelmakers to plan our honeymoon to Italy in Oct. 2022. From the beginning, Mona made it extremely easy to plan the perfect itinerary for us. Her suggestions and recommendations were very helpful and we were not disappointed with any of the choices made from the hotels, transportation, dining, and activities. Mona also kept our hotel and travel vendors in the loop of any delays or changes to our schedule which took a lot of stress off our shoulders while we were on the go. Her pre-planned logistics ensured everything ran smoothly and we were able to truly just enjoy our trip. Would definitely work with Mona again on our next adventure.

Fantastic experience: I was so thankful to have Mona Stephenson from TravelMakers plan my Christmas Market cruise trip to Europe. The river boat company for the 8 night cruise was phenomenal and gave us the local fine dining experience we wanted. The add-on excursion we took to Poland was especially unique and unexpected! I love where she picked for us to stay - right in the heart of the medieval city of Krakow with a view of the town square. She is so happy, energetic, and a very experienced traveler. I felt that I was in good hands. She always had my budget in view and found ways to give me the best experience with my low budget!

Fantastic experience: Mona is OUTSTANDING at creating beautiful, smooth, and delightful vacations. She is great at communicating needs and so sweet.

Mona stepped in asking the right questions (where do you want to be and for how long each place) and dug right in to figure out how to arrange our trip in a way to fit our budget and provide an unforgettable experience. We went to Venice, 5Terra, Florence, Sienna, then Rome and every place we stayed was gorgeous. She even provided train schedules and local suggestions. It was the best vacation, we can't wait until our next big trip we will certainly be using her again!

Fantastic experience: BJ Holmes was very helpful in helping us deal with Holland America, spending hours on the phone with trying to and eventually speaking with a live voice, in helping us plan on our Northern Isles trip and providing guidance on taking out our travel insurance policy and transportation to and from the ship. l really don't know who became more frustrated with Holland America but the trip was much more organized with BJ helping us than the HA customer service representative. Though I want nothing to do with Holland America in the future, I would highly recommend Travelmakers in dealing with the complexities of making travel arrangements now and in the future. Chuck Milam
Thank you Chuck for taking your time to leave a positive review for BJ and TravelMakers! We appreciative it.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Mona Stephenson to plan your next vacation. Her attention to detail and her work ethic really makes her stand out.

If you want a vacation with no worries or concerns I would recommend this company and Mona is your travel agent.

Fantastic experience: TravelMakers and BJ, our travel expert, couldn't have been nicer when we were planning our trip to Vietnam. In addition to having to deal with two families from two different parts of the country, BJ had to work around COVID protocols and the fluid nature of the pandemic. While we ultimately had to cancel the trip, BJ helped us work through getting a full refund. I would recommend TravelMakers and BJ to anyone wanting to plan a complicated trip!

Fantastic experience: Mona Stephenson w/Travelmakers planned a trip for my wife and I to Tahiti - and it was great! We started with a 3 day stay at the St Regis in Bora Bora - Mona arranged for us to check in at 11 am! Others had to wait until 3 pm to check in. Mona also booked a week-long cruise on the Paul Gaughan, which was fantastic - we got $400 in vouchers for the cruise (in addition to a great overall price), and when the trip was over, we received an additional $480 in rebates! Additionally, all this planning was done during Covid, and we had to cancel the trip twice! Mona made sure that we kept our value and didn't lose money - which was quite a feat. I was very pleased with the value provided by Travelmakers, and specifically the service provided by Travelmakers. I'd reccommend them highly!
Fantastic experience: Mona Stephenson with Travelmakers planned our Honeymoon trip to Italy and it was absolutely amazing!! The hotel was fantastic, and the staff was extremely helpful. Because this was our first time in Italy, and it was our Honeymoon we relied on Mona’s expertise and on where to stay and go and we could not have been happier with her suggestions. The hotel in Florence was in the center of town, so we were able to walk through the many historical sites and seeing incredible sculptures and buildings enjoy fantastic food, too much food probably . Travel accommodations to other towns was preset and extremely easy to use with Mona's direction. Mona was in contact with all the entire time, and everything went as smooth as possible. I would definitely recommend Mona and Travelmakers to anyone and use her services for our next trip. Mr. & Mrs. Black
Fantastic experience: I loved working with Mona Stephenson with Travelmakers when she planned a trip to Spain for my friends and me. She got us the best deals in flights and hotels. It was amazing. We saw 5 cities in Spain and even flew to the Canary Islands! She said it’s a bucket list location and she was right. She got us a great deal at the the best hotel there too! She even handled our multiple train tickets throughout Spain and she knew the best places to stay that were close walking distance from the major points of interest. I could not imagine a better 10 day trip - and the prices she found made it possible for me to go on this trips (coming from a single-income household). Thank you TravelMakers!
Fantastic experience: Mona Stephenson with Travelmakers planned a trip to The Society Islands (Tahiti) last summer. I took a seven day cruise aboard the Paul Gauguin cruise ship. Mona handled all the logistics flawlessly including arranging a stay for me at a resort for two days coming and going. I am a single traveler. She put together a group of people that I did not know and we had a wonderful time together to the extent that the whole group is planning on doing a river cruise this summer. I can't say enough about the service she provided. I am really looking forward to another great travel experience with her.
Negative experience: Fraud company, asking for more money after the payment of the tickets, also worst customer service and the worst website I have ever experience to book a ticket
You're reviewing the wrong company we don't sell airline tickets unless you've booked land or cruise with us. I think you're referring to Travel makers.us. They have infringed on our company name.
