The Clares - Louisville, Kentucky | Traveled to Ireland | Europe

I wouldn't travel without Herlene!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
From the moment we were picked up at the airport by an interesting and outgoing driver, the itinerary Herlene prepared for us was amazing! She booked wonderful hotels, tours, rail transportation and drivers so that our trip was filled with the people and history of Ireland. Down to the last detail, Herlene made our navigation throughout the country seamless. Even our silly questions were answered with thorough research and thoughtfulness. She really went above and beyond to make the trip unforgettable.

GG Travels - Wilmette, IL | Traveled to Austria | Europe

Trip to Vienna, Hallstatt, Salzburg, and Munich

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Herlene has been my friend and my go -to travel agent for some years now. This recent trip was a good example of her skill at making travel such a joy. I love that she listens to us and always seems to find the best hotels to suit our style and needs. This particular year we were in small hotels (air conditioned, thank heavens) located in areas where we could easily access the city and walk to our hearts' content. Her arrangement of train tickets and transport has been flawless. She is always accessible and replies promptly to questions/concerns. Herlene is the first person I think of when travel comes to mind. I would not think of using anyone else!

Irish Hiking

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Herlene arranged the most glorious hiking adventure across southern Ireland. We stayed in charming hotels in small villages, had access to amazing hiking opportunities in national parks, and had wonderful transportation across the southern part of the country to be able to visit multiple places. The whole vacation was delightful, and we were so appreciative of all of Herlene's hard work in making it happen.

Darlene - Louisville, KY | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA

Bucket List Trip

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
In May we decided to take a trip to Alaska in July. I reached out to Herlene and told her what we were thinking. She immediately got to work and found us a land tour and a cruise that fit within our schedule. Every recommendation she made including food packages, excursions, and hotels were right one. It was an amazing vacation. It is one that we will talk about forever. Herlene was fantastic to work with. She took care of planning everything and the only thing we had to worry about was getting to the airport on time. She took all of the anxiety out of planning the trip. We wouldn't have been able to pull this all together in such a short time without her help. If you're planning a trip to anywhere, I would highly recommend that you work with Herlene.

E&J - Louisville, Kentucky | Traveled to Europe

Delayed Honeymoon Worth the Wait

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Herlene is great to work with! She worked with us in 2020 to help plan our Honeymoon...and then did all that work again when our original trip was shut down. She gave us many itinerary options to choose from (despite our vague request of "a cruise in Europe would be nice"). Herlene booked everything for us - flights, hotels, and cruise. As someone who typically does the research and planning for a trip, it was nice working with someone who was on top of every detail and great at communicating those details to us. Even when I had a question the day we left on our trip, she promptly responded to my email. We had a fantastic delayed honeymoon and we're thankful we worked with Herlene to finally make it happen!

Annie - Lewisport , Ky | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico

The best trip ever!!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Easy! We told Herlene where we wanted to go, when we wanted to go, and how much we wanted to spend and she got back with us the next day with three resort options. She took care of everything and laid it all out for us. This honestly was the easiest trios we’ve ever taken.

Kathy - Bloomington, IN | Traveled to South Africa ~ Africa

The most incredible trip of a lifetime!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Herlene planned an extraordinary trip for three to South Africa in June/July 2022 for us. Her caring, attention to detail, working knowledge of how to navigate tours, accommodations, dining, shopping, places of interest and the general and specific details cadence of the trip were planned with excellence. Herlene made this trip for us. Her attentiveness to every single detail, her provisions, her guidance and consultancy came together, bar none, to be the difference maker to a splendid travel experience. Herlene's ability to orchestrate each detail from tipping to transport, to hotels, to customary tips, to sharing points of interest customized to our preferences, was incredible. Herlene is the consummately professional travel agent in her work while making you feel a part of her family. She treated us like she would family members, going the extra mile time and time again. Thank you Herlene! Thank you Travel Authority!

Louisville Travelers - Louisville, Kentucky | Traveled to Panama ~ Central America

Another excellent trip

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Herlene has always provided us with outstanding advice and service, and this trip, our first since the pandemic, was no exception. She offered great suggestions about possible destinations, and her advice about how to handle insurance and flights as the world still deals with COVID was sensible. She went to bat for us when a tour company was reluctant to honor an advertised discount and succeeded in persuading them to give us an even better deal. She also got great flights and airline seats for us.
We have worked with Herlene many times to plan trips, and this experience was absolutely typical; she has taken the trouble to get to know us well enough to be able to recommend tours and accommodations that suit our interests and budget; thanks to her thorough research, we know that we can have confidence in her knowledge of tour companies, airlines, and other providers; and she is always thoughtful and painstaking in her dealings with us.

Mrs.S - Lexington, KY | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico

Perfect Honeymoon Adventure!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Herlene made our search for our honeymoon destination as easy as possible. She provided multiple options at different places that all provided exactly what we were looking for. Our chosen resort was perfect and made for a perfect honeymoon. I could not believe how simple Herlene made everything, from coordinating our fights, to our shuttles and resort stay. She provided local health and safety information and everything we could possibly need. I highly suggest utilizing her service for any of your travel needs!

Chance Palmiter - Louisville, Kentucky | Traveled to St. Lucia Island ~ St. Lucia ~ Caribbean

The Perfect Honeymoon

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Our experience with Herlene was top notch. We couldn’t have asked for a better travel agent. When my wife first suggested using a travel agent, I was skeptical at first, but now I can’t picture doing a vacation without you, Herlene. You did an outstanding job at recommending and planning both our honeymoon and my wife's bachelorette party. You made the process extremely easy and found the best deals available for us. Thank you for all of your hard work, help, and timely responses to my many emails and questions. We have already begun to tell our friends about our experience and refer you to them. Please let me know if you need anything from us.
