We just got back from a wonderful trip, courtesy of Victoria Callas of Arcadia Travel & Cruises. Many folks these days tend to “skip” using a travel agent, preferring to make their own travel plans. While there are all kinds of websites & apps to use, having a great travel agent is worth its weight in gold! All is fine on a trip until trouble appears. With a travel agent, you have a REAL LIVE PERSON to call if you run into a snag! A great travel agent like Vicky knows all the tricks and shortcuts that can really bump your trip up to the next level. Having her expertise at the tip of your fingers can provide solutions to problems. Covid restrictions change frequently. She’s up to date on the requirements, not just for where you’re starting your trip, but also for your trip’s destination! What if someone in your party falls ill? What if you miss a connecting flight? THOSE are situations when a seasoned travel agent like Vicky can come to your rescue. Vacations can take many twists & turns. It’s the situations that you CAN’T predict, that Vicky can assist with. For example, in 2012, I took my 78 year old mother-in-law to Puerto Rico. The first 3 days were great but unfortunately mom came down with a stomach issue requiring hospitalization. Luckily, Vicky was by our side (via phone) every step of the way! She rebooked our return flight which had to be delayed until mom was better. What was a language barrier for me (as I only speak English) was no problem for Vicky who is multi-lingual. She’s a godsend. She’s been our treasured travel agent for over 30 years! She goes out of her way to make sure everything goes smoothly before, during and after your trip. She’s the BEST! Thank you Vicky for all the years of great trips that you’ve booked for us! We look forward to many more!

Vicky was absolutely fantastic in getting our Alaskan cruise set up. I had airline travel vouchers that she helped us with along with getting a great state room, hotel and transfers throughout the trip. All we had to worry about was showing up. We have been looking for a good travel agent and Vicky was recommended by a friend. Our search is over. As long as Vicky is in business she has our loyalty.

Vicky helped us book our family vacation to Sonesta Maho Beach Resort in Sint Maarten. Everything went so smoothly and her tips helped . I will be using Vicky’s services for all my travel.

I planned on traveling alone this time to Greece this September and I was having a difficult and frustrating time trying to book my flights online myself. I received Vicky's name from my cousin and I'm SO glad I was able to connect with her. Vicky put my mind at ease and planned all of my flights to and from Greece, including one flight within that country. And, she was able to find flights that were less expensive than what I was personally seeing online. I was very grateful for her expertise in getting all of the flights and connecting flights to work so well, with ample time between them. I also appreciated her advice on certain aspects of my trip and her offer to be available if I had any problems with my flights. I plan on using her service in the future for any future trips throughout the world, since my experience in working with her was that great!

Vicky’s ENGAGEMENT (strong connection) response is immediate! As soon as you tell her your name, And what your interest is in, Vicky starts working. She is tuned in as if she knew your desires before you called. Vicky’s beam of light switches on. She focuses STAT on you! She NEVER makes you feel like she doesn’t have the time or that she is (truly) backed up with clients. Vicky takes all of the work away from you, she gets the job done! Smoothly and with GRACE. Vicky, Thank you!
