    Amazing Service from HK Travel
    Reviewed By Beth L - Austin, TX | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
    I worked with Andrew to plan a trip for summer 2021. With Covid affecting countries around the world differently, I was nervous to plan anything without a professional. Andrew was super knowledgeable about navigating travel during the pandemic and did a ton of research for me in helping to choose the perfect location.
    Andrew really listened to what we were looking for in a vacation and presented several options based on our wants and needs. He was patient while we made our decision and never pushy. Despite the travel frenzy happening right now he was able to find us a great trip for a good value.
    Andrew was always available for questions during the planning phase and while we were abroad. He went above and beyond to make sure our trip was perfect.
    I have always prided myself on planning my own vacations in the past, but since using Andrew I don’t think I’ll ever travel without HK Travel again
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Wonderful Worry Free Trip to Hawaii
    Reviewed By Monica - Minnesota | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
    Wow, what a great experience we had using Andrew at H-K Travel. He took care of every last detail. Impeccable service and very up to date on the ever-changing travel regulations. He found us an unbelievable deal on a trip to Hawaii. He saved us hundreds of dollars. We booked all of our island tours/exhibits through him too. Everything went flawlessly. Definitely going to use him for all our future traveling.
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Orlando & Disney Vacation
    Reviewed By Callie - Duluth, MN | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
    Thanks so much to HK Travel! We had an extremely easy time booking with you. Our Florida vacation was a success! We enjoyed our time at our 3 bedroom condo with a full kitchen which enabled us to enjoy breakfast and midnight snacks onsite! We loved going to Cocoa Beach, Disney's Magic Kingdom, Sea World, and Universal Studios. The app was amazing and we were able to get into all parks with no issues and no wait times! So much fun! We would recommend HK Travel to everyone!

    Our Italian adventure was an amazing family trip!
    Reviewed By Amy - Charleston, WV | Traveled to Sorrento ~ Italy ~ Europe
    North Star Travel and Andrew were fantastic. Our Italian adventure was an amazing family trip! The communication both before the trip during the planning process, and while we were there was super. Our tour guides were wonderful, and drivers always on time or even early. The app is very user friendly and kept us well organized. I would recommend him to anyone planning a trip to Europe! Loved every minute and will most definitely use them again.
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Costa Rica (and Alaska!)
    Reviewed By Laurie - Woodbury, MN | Traveled to Guanacaste ~ Costa Rica ~ Central America
    Northstar Travel was fantastic. We used them once for a trip to Alaska and a second time to go to Costa Rica. Both times, our agent, Andrew really listened to what we were looking for and made fantastic recommendations. Our excursions and accommodations were better than we expected. Andrew even reached out to us in Costa Rica a day prior to an excursion to notify us the tour company cancelled the trip. Andrew had a new option lined up when he called and there was 0 stress for us.
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
