We had an fabulous trip to Canada and Alaska organized by the amazing Sam Treby. The flights, tours, hotels and pickups for our tours were all spot on. Sam couldn't have been more helpful and knowledgeable, we could not have asked for a better adviser.
We had a perfect trip to Sri Lanka through Entire travel. Tina was amazing at working around our already made plans while also creating an itinerary that we could never have planned ourselves. She was willing to jump in and fix things quickly when something came up and was so easy to deal with when I had a million questions. Absolutely recommend the sri lanka tour, we had an absolute blast!
My travel partner and myself have just returned from our trip to Switzerland ( May 2024 ) and wanted to put in writing our utmost gratitude to Katelyn Mulgrew and the team from Entire Travel Group for the professional, prompt and extensive service provided from start to finish. Kate was there with us every step of the way and answered any question or concern we had in a patient and understandable way, which left us with reassurance and confidence.
