My mom & I are planning a trip to Europe together for this fall, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good travel agent.

I'm aware that there's lots of online stuff out there, but I'm thinking I'd like to talk to someone who's an expert on where to stay in Athens & Rome.

Thanks!

By Far, the BEST travel agent I have worked with is Marina Byrum with Travel By Marina. She has been fulfilling travel dreams for over 40 years. She has been everywhere so she can offer advice as well as savings. She is so honest too....she will tell you if you can get a better deal online, but on a Europe trip, I doubt it... I will PM you her info.

Have a great time!

check out this company...

www.countrydaytravel.com

or email Barbara at info@countrydaytravel.com

they have a full staff of highly trained, well traveled specialists... last of a dieing breed thanks to the brainwashing of the internet making people THINK they get a better deal on line than they do from a professional!!! Next, they'll be getting their Dr. appointments on line because they can save 1 penny! YIKES!
Well, in my case I DID get a MUCH better deal online. Thanks, though! (I had a couple of agents quote me triple the amounts I was finding online... we're talking thousands of dollars)

I did book my hotels through a travel agent even though it didn't save me any money 'cause I figured I would have someone to call if something went wrong with the reservations and they'd help me out.

Isn't it a violation of the forum rules to pimp your own company like this?

Looking at your previous posts, that is all you do is pimp your company over and over again.

I think it's only a violation for us Realtors.
