Amalfi and Rome

Reviewed By Scott Peters - Burlington, VT | Traveled to Amalfi ~ Italy ~ Europe
West was so great in working with us and our many changes (from the dates to the number of people going). He was able to find just what we needed/wanted, even with Italy being the most sought after destination and lots of things being booked or sold out. We had a great family trip and the memories will last a lifetime.

Family Cruises

Reviewed By The Felts - Charlottesville, Va. | Traveled to Iceland ~ Europe
Wesley was great to work with in planning 2 family cruises within a short time frame on 2 different cruise lines. He was able to find us great prices and itineraries, as well as arrange for the multiple rooms to be next to each other or connected and had everything set so we didn’t have to do any extra work for making sure everyone was linked up. Will definitely use him for any future cruises!

Family Trips

Reviewed By Eryn Stone - Fredericksburg, Va | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Working with Wes to plan back-to-back spring break trips for our high school seniors was a great experience. With the first, Wes took care of everything - making it a worry free vacation. With the second, although the trip never happened (COVID-19), he still took care of everything - managing all of the cancellations and refunds and making an unfortunate situation less stressful. A++ Highly recommend.

Smooth Sailing

Reviewed By Felix Padilla - Orlando, Fl. | Traveled to Antigua & Barbuda ~ Caribbean
He was super helpful in thinking about and planning our trip. He asked about our interests and previous visits, and then came up with good flights, good hotels, and good recommendations of where to go and what to do. When an issue arose with one of the hotels, Wesley immediately took care of it (during his own vacation in Scandinavia!) and got us a better room.

Dependable Agent

Reviewed By Wendy Graziano - Arlington, Va. | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Wes has been my travel agent for a few years, traveling internationally and domestically. He is well traveled, which has been a huge advantage for me. Wes schedules my transfers and they’ve always been timely. He always shops around for the best prices, as I usually travel solo. That saves me lots of money, if I’m flexible. If you’re looking for a top notch agent, give Wes a try.

honeymoon trip to austria, fabulous

Reviewed By Gina Nelson - Ashburn, Va. | Traveled to Vienna ~ Austria ~ Europe
He made planning our honeymoon so easy! We went to him with some location ideas and he provided us with all the information requested plus a couple of other vacation spots we were not familiar with. He came back with great pricing including airfare that we would have never been able to get without him. We ended up in Vienna by way of Salzburg and Munich, Wes's recommendation, and loved it! Wes made all the reservations and excursions. All we had to do was say 'yes' or 'no' to his suggestions and provide payment. Wes took all the hassle and worry out of our hands and it was truly and enjoyable experience working with him. We've already given his name to several family members & friends.

France-Germany

Reviewed By Connie Mulgrew - Fredericksburg, Va | Traveled to Paris ~ France ~ Europe
This is the 3rd time we have used Wes as our family's travel agent. My husband and I spent years trying to locate a quality agent, and this will be the only agent we will ever use again.

Wes value's customer service and punctuality, and he is detail-orientated and empathetic. All of his traits are why we continue having wonderful family vacations and why we will always come back to him.

Golf Adventures

Reviewed By Mike McClary - Culpeper, Va. | Traveled to Scotland ~ Europe
Wes helped my sister and I plan our first family vacation for the first time in over a decade, so as you can imagine, we had very high standards!

Wes met us for an initial phone call after business hours, planned our trip exactly the way we wanted, and was there for us when the resort was trying to mess with our trip! I have another trip coming up and will be using him again. I would recommend him to anyone who is new to traveling, or travel agents.

Wedding Weekend

Reviewed By Emma Heikkinen - Washington, DC | Traveled to Helsinki ~ Finland ~ Europe
Wesley Spaniol was the coordinator for our Helsinki/Turku/ excursion on 30 October 2023. His help was invaluable, especially since we were planning an overseas wedding. Wes suggested some great local vendors, arranged meetings with them, took care of all communications, made sure all our questions were answered, and provided support up to and during our stay. Wesley was great at listening to my requests and making sure they were accommodated. He also had several great suggestions that really made a big difference in the end. Above all, I think the main thing is how Wesley handled all the challenges. When we had too little reception space for the amount of guests, he had an idea how to make the space work with his catering background. Wesley was also very pleasant to deal with, personable, and supportive. Wesley, thank you for helping make our wedding weekend so beautiful and happy!
