    A travel agent who rocks!
    Reviewed By R. and C. - Madison, WI | Traveled to Hilton Head Island ~ South Carolina ~ USA
    Brian has been a wealth of resources and we have been thrilled to work with a professional travel agent who cares so much for client satisfaction. We've never been to Hilton Head before and Brian provided us with options, direct links, available discount codes, suggested tours and much more. He was sensitive to our budget and helped us find a great place to stay with all the amenities we wanted for a price that fell within that budget. Pretty sure we could not have done this without him. Thank you, Brian!
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Long Weekend in Boston
    Reviewed By Jana - Syracuse, NY | Traveled to Boston ~ Massachusetts ~ USA
    I called on Brian who is an old friend because I heard he was working as a travel agent. My husband and I took an impromptu road trip to Boston for a long weekend, but didn't have a lot of time to plan what to do once we got there. Brian was able to get us a hotel room. And he sent us some recommendations for tours we could take. We were able to book those online in a matter of minutes. We took a tour of Fenway Park and a walking tour of the historic downtown. Great recommendations.
    Brian Harder responded
    "It was so nice to catch up and work with you, Jana, on your Boston adventure. I look forward to working with you again. Brian---"

    Brazil or Bust
    Reviewed By Janice - Naperville, IL | Traveled to Brazil ~ South America
    We went to Brazil this year and had a wonderful time. We took our time booking our trip and even changed our destination a few times but Brian was very patient with us while we tried to figure out where we wanted to go. We settled on Brazil and everything was great! Brian made luxurious hotel reservations for us and gave us some amazing ideas for things to do while we were there.
    Brian Harder responded
    "I'm glad it all worked out for you, Janice. It was a pleasure and I'm thrilled you had a good time. Hope to work with you again in the future. Brian---"

    Client Testimonials

    Costa Rica Client Trip was a Success
    I work for a large telecommunications advertising business. Brian was instrumental in helping me to plan our annual client trip. This one was to Costa Rica. I was pregnant and about to have my child and go on maternity leave. Brian took over and handled all the details so very well. He took care of booking all of our guests travel arrangements, including extended stays for some. They stayed at the Four Seasons Peninsula, Papagayo. He arranged transportation from the airport and for excursions, dinner destinations, a beach party, golf days and spa days, a zipline adventure, hired a photographer, and so much more. He booked meeting rooms for our employees. He arranged for nightly gifts to be left in our client’s suites. He attended the trip so that no detail would be forgotten. He was an invaluable resource for me while I was out and I would recommend him to anyone worried about details. Brian knows how to cover it all.
