Angela is truly a travel expert!
Reviewed By Heidi - Utah | Traveled to
After working in the travel industry for 17 years, I am very picky about who I use to coordinate our travel. Angela just booked a Mediterranean cruise for my family and I couldn't have been happier with her superior knowledge and outstanding customer service. We also attended a humanitarian mission last summer that Angela coordinated. I was so impressed with entire experience! I would recommend Angela and her company to anyone.

Ireland Anniversary Trip
Reviewed By Brian C - Winter Garden | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
We started our journey in Dublin Ireland from there, we went to the Cliffs of Moher, which were absolutely stunning. We also visited Galway, stayed at the Ashford castle, and journeyed to Edinburgh, and the Scottish Highlands. In St. Andrews, where we visited the famous golf course and watched The Open tournament which was a highlight for me.One of the best parts of the trip was how green everything was. It was so nice to see all the greenery and the beautiful landscapes. The people were also very friendly and helpful. Overall, it was an amazing trip and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking about travelling to these two countries. This was our first guided tour with Trafalgar and it was the right choice for me and saved me a lot of hassle. We would definitely choose the guided option again. Angela helped us with all of the details and even though this had been postponed with covid she still helped us make it happen! Happy wife = Happy life

Just took my first big trip since the pandemic started. Called Angela Hughes at Trips & Ships Luxury Travel to book it. Had the best time a the Hotel Riu Vallarta in Nuevo Vallarta (about 40 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta). Never even left the resort. Loved this beachfront property with everything right there. Wonderful Junior Suite with wrap around balcony overlooking the mountains on one side and oceanfront on the other. Gorgeous views everywhere we looked. Hotel was spotless; staff cleaned day and night, even our balcony. Absolutely bug free as well. I've never been so impressed with a hotel's maintenance and staff. Multiple dining options including their fabulous international dining room. Fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, and anything you could possible dream of and wish for! Good entertainment. Family oriented. Easy access beach. Gorgeous sunsets. Perfect 82 degree weather with a slight breeze. Perfect!!

50th Birthday Bash!
Reviewed By Britton Albiston - Bedford, NH | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Angela worked her magic creating a trip to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. We took all our kids and it was their first time. They were teens to adults and all wanted to see something different. She fit it all in and knew some special small towns we would also love that are not typical tourist stops. She knew when we needed a private driver (like first off the flight when you're tired) and when we would enjoy public transportation. It was two weeks we will never forget. Highly recommend Angela-even if your dream trip seems complicated!

Embarking on a safari adventure in South Africa was truly an experience of a lifetime. Thanks to the excellent service of Trips & Ships Luxury Travel, I was able to stay at two of the most luxurious and breathtaking lodges, Ulusaba and Kapama.

New York and Broadway
Reviewed By Alexis A. - Miami, FL | Traveled to New York City ~ New York ~ USA
There's no place like New York City. And that's especially true if you're visiting for the first time. The city can be overwhelming, but Angela Hughes can help you make the most of your trip. We saw SIX Broadway, tour all of the sites. Time Square is always packed. Central Park is beautiful, but it's also huge - you could get lost for hours. Fall was on point this year with leaves changing colors in the park. And on 5th Avenue, the stores are so big they could fit a small town inside. Angela Hughes can create an itinerary that includes all the must-see sights and leaves time for exploring on your own. She can help you make the most of your time in New York City.

Angela was able to provide us with a couple of suggested cruises, as we had never cruised previously. We selected one that provided us with some extras such as a drink package and online ship credit.

Traveling to the Galapagos was an incomparable experience. Our hope in going was to spend time diving and snorkeling in order to see the mesmerizing turtles up close; we accomplished this and so much more. We took a cruise that allowed us to visit multiple islands, each with their own distinct topography and wildlife. Baltra Island, Bartolomé Island, Isabela, and San Cristobal were all incredibly beautiful in different ways. The trip would not have been possible without the help of Angela Hughes Travel; they worked with us to create an itinerary that made the most of our time in this special place. We are grateful for having had the opportunity to explore the natural wonders of the Galapagos and hope to return again someday soon.

Tanzania was my first trip to Africa, and it certainly won't be my last. The highlights of my safari included seeing the big five – lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos – as well as the great migration. However, what really made the trip special was spending time with my family in a private jeep with a guide and staying a luxury tented camp. At first, I wasn't excited about the idea of Africa, but it ended up being my favorite vacation with my family. The food was outstanding, and the service from Trips & Ships Luxury Travel was impeccable. Our travel expert, Angela Hughes, was extremely knowledgeable about Africa and safaris, and she helped us make the most of our time in Tanzania.

So many moving pieces😂 but it really went very smooth overall, we dipped out of a couple things just because it was a lot of touring for the boys (really only the cheese factory tour), and Castello Banfi was just amazing, so beautiful, perfect service, only drawback is, if you don’t rent a car, you’re sort of stuck there to there two restaurants, one is OK, and the other one is Michelin star so you know that experience just very fancy, last night, we had a driver, take us into Saint Angelo of Colle and ate at Il poggio which was awesome . And yes will plan to contact you if we plan a big trip again, loved all your help and will tell friends too !

Turkish Delight
Reviewed By Mary H. - London, England | Traveled to Istanbul ~ Turkey ~ Middle East
Let's just say, using Trips & Ships Luxury Travel for our Turkish adventure was the best decision we could have made! Angela Hughes, our travel advisor, hooked us up with some seriously cool connections in Turkey. A private yachts on the Bosphorus, luxurious vans to chauffeur us around Istanbul, and private guides in Kusadasi. It was like we were living the high life! And honestly, we needed it after the year we've had. Shopping in the bazaar was an experience we won't forget. Overall, we couldn't recommend Trips & Ships more.

This trip is truly a memory that will last forever
Reviewed By Richard R. - Orlando, FL | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
We would like to say thank you for all your advice, guidance and expertise in putting together our Hawaiian vacationSo happy we had the opportunity to visit 4 islands. All were different, providing great memories and a true flavor of Hawaii
Our only disappointment was on Kauai, it rained for 2 days, which cancelled our Na Pali coast sail cruise
We still did the island tour which let us see why they call Kauai the garden island.
Otherwise, everything about the vacation was wonderful, especially the hotels. Carol has never been so spoiled!
The rooms and their ocean view locations were spectacular. We always received first class treatment
We ended the trip on Big Island at the Fairmont Orchid hotel and this was by far our favorite hotel.
The hotel was beautiful and luxurious. The grounds and food are just fabulous. Service was over the top.

Wonderful. Recommend Tauck over and over again. Room was great. Service great. Food and drinks were delicious and plentiful. It felt like we were a family by the end of the cruise.Ship and local guides were wonderful. So friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. When I was nervous about disembarking in Basel and connecting to Colmar the Tauck rep and one of the ship guides gave me tutorial and also shared must do’s-which we did! (Visiting Colmar and the Alsace wine region was actually one of the impetuses for the adventure in the first place. It was magical-like walking into Beauty and the Beast set. I want to go back specifically to tour the Alsace wine region.) The markets bring unbelievable charm for sure-some of the booth architecture astounded more than the booth wares. It would be nice to go back and see the cities without the markets yet there are so many other places to explore.

Christmas Markets Europe
Reviewed By Sandra T. - Salt Lake City, UT | Traveled to Austria ~ Europe
Overall it was great. We had a wonderful time and I’m glad we went. Our guide was good and the local guides were great. The last hotel we stayed at in Lucern was a decent hotel but way too noisy at night. They had a dance club or events going on both nights and you could hear it everywhere. It was extremely noisy until the wee hours of the morning while we were trying to sleep. I wouldn’t recommend that hotel or stay there again.
It was cold, naturally. The tour took us to most markets during the day and I wish we could have seen them lit up at night because the streets all had hanging lights that looked like they’d be beautiful when lit up. I’m not sure why it worked out that we couldn’t see the markets more at night. It wasn’t any colder at night than it was during the day.
All the people were really nice and I enjoyed everything we did. We had an ear piece so we could hear the guides when we went places and that was really nice. It helped a lot.

Everything went well and we had a really nice time. Our tour group was large; 48 people but it was okay and worked out better than I expected with a group that large. We liked the BoHo hotel in Prague. It was quiet and nice and we enjoyed staying there. All the transports worked out perfectly. If it could have been 10 degrees warmer, that would have helped. It was cold but we expected it to be cold and we were prepared. Prague is amazing anytime and it was especially lovely at Christmas. We had tickets to concerts every day when we were in Prague and they were spectacular. There’s just a really high caliber of musicians and performers in Prague. The concerts were a definite highlight. You can’t beat the spires and domes and architecture of Prague. The food is really good there too.

Reviewed By Bruce G - Orlando, FL | Traveled to Delhi ~ India ~ Central Asia
I want to thank you for setting up the tour in India for me.It was really great.I wanted to give you some notes.
Delhi, the guide, Araja, told only basic facts, I walk slowly and he walked ahead and did not converse with me. The driver Upendra was excellent. He was friendly and kept cold water in the car. He also drove to Agra and back and took me to a wonderful restaurant.
Agra, The guide Prashant was great. He shared so much knowledge. Really enjoyed having him.
Hyderabad, the guide Srinu was very good and I enjoyed touring the city with him. I did not get the drivers name but he was good too.
Please pass this on to the tour company in India
Thank you for your service.

Holland America Thanksgiving Cruise
Reviewed By Neil C. - Ogden Utah | Traveled to Mexico
Holland America did a great job and I have no complaints.It was a different kind of trip. We rented a wheel chair for Carols mother. We should have got wheel chairs for two more because they recently had surgery. We are all getting a little older and grumpier , so that didn’t help. Carols mom came down with COVID the last three days and she had to say in her cabin. Everyone said they had fun, but I know one thing, I will never take them again.

Bangkok and Phuket
Reviewed By Derral K. - South Ogden, UT | Traveled to Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
We started our trip in Phuket where we stayed for a few days before making our way to Bangkok. As a travel professional, Angela was familiar with the ins and outs of travel in Thailand and was able to show me some great shopping spots that I would have otherwise missed. We also spent a day biking around Phuket and exploring some of the smaller islands nearby. One of my favorite days was when we took a boat tour to Ko Phi Phi and visited the famous James Bond Island. The highlight of the trip for me was definitely the Thai massage I had in Bangkok - it was so relaxing and just what I needed after all that exploring! Overall, I had an amazing time in Thailand and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and exotic travel destination.

Seabourn and the French Riviera
Reviewed By E. Mary - Provo, UT | Traveled to France ~ Europe
This year we booked Seabourn for our Europe trip to the French Med. In the past, we have sailed on Celebrity and Royal Caribbean but this really took it to a higher level. Seabourn's small ships & the line's all-inclusive concept made it feel like we weren't "nickeled and dimed" liked the other lines, Seabourn's partnership with Angela made the experience even better and her expert planning and execution made the trip flawless. My favorite stop on the itinerary was Monaco. We stayed in Barcelona and Madrid a few days prior and she made sure we had VIP amenities at our hotels that we couldn't get booking direct.

Our travel agent, Angela Hughes, did an incredible job of designing a trip that incorporated all of our interests. We started in Florence, where we stayed in a luxury hotel and did a lot of shopping. Then we went to the Cinque Terre and Rome, which were both beautiful. We also went to Assisi and Orvieto, which were two places I had always wanted to visit. Capri was my favorite part of the trip - the food was incredible and the scenery was just like the photos .

Month Long WWII Trip
Reviewed By Ken - Salt Lake City | Traveled to Europe
I wanted to Thank You for helping Ken plan the most amazing trip to Europe. We experienced so many incredible places and people in our travels. Ken was able to fulfill his dream of following his father's WWII footsteps. We had several Tender Mercy moments. One that comes to mind was in Barth, Germany. We couldn't find the place where the POW camp was. We stopped at a grocery store to ask for directions and no one could help us. As we were getting ready to leave, a woman pulled up, she SPOKE English and she knew where it was. We followed her to an out of the place area that we would have never found on our own. We learned that 1) she didn't live in Barth, she was out running errands and decided to stop at the grocery store. 2) she and her husband had been in Barth last year and went on a bike ride and found the monument telling about the POW camp.
I have so many great memories of the adventures we experienced. Thanks again! Sandy

Hassle free amazing vacations!
Reviewed By Heidii - Huntington Beach, CA | Traveled to
I have booked several trips with Angela from Trips and Ships. A few of my favorites were our honeymoon to Grenada and a Mediterranean cruise which included Greek Islands, Italy and Turkey. Angela took care of everything and advised us when would be best day to leave for our honeymoon. She set us up at the Sandals Resort which was an over-the-top amazing experience. We would have never thought of going to this destination without her guidance and we still talk about how dreamy and perfect it was with all of the yummy food, culture, beautiful room, water sports and relaxing atmosphere.
The Mediterranean cruise was the best way to see so many destinations in just one week. The charming islands and diversity of Turkey amazed me. Angela advised us to stay a few days in Rome before we left on the cruise in order to experience this stunning city. I was so grateful for that! Trips and Ships is top on my call list when booking a vacation with ease and with guaranteed desired results.

Knows everything and everyone
Reviewed By Dan - England | Traveled to
Having travelled with Angela twice now through Central America, I rely on her completely with my travel plans. It is amazing to have someone so personable create a vacation around your specific needs. What is even better is that Angela is very well connected in the areas that I have been on vacation to, which provides a great insight into the culture and community that we visit.

LOVE working with Angela
Reviewed By MSH - Washington D.C. | Traveled to
I have used Angela for a few trips and every time I'm blown away at her knowledge, responsiveness and ability to give exactly what we wanted! Angela is fun and friendly and makes it so easy to plan trips. I like to be busy when I travel, my wife likes to sit by the pool or on the beach. We're not easy clients, yet Angela can find trips that accommodate both of our needs and desires.

Best Agent Ever!
Reviewed By Kris M - Utah | Traveled to
Angela plans every trip with great detail. It is if she were planning the trip for her own family. She involves those going and gets the most in for the money spent. I highly recommend her. I have used other agents and they don't even come close.

Bermuda was Perfect
Reviewed By Dennis & Nancy - North Salt Lake City | Traveled to
We loved our trip to Bermuda that Angela set up for us out of NYC. We sailed on the NCL Breakaway and then did a couple of nights in New York where she helped us set up a schedule for the city and Broadway tickets. The location she picked was perfect. We love to go to her for advice and tips on how we can make our trip more affordable. We sailed last year with her group to Europe where every detail was taken care of. I would definitely recommend her for your future travel needs!

Great Trip
Reviewed By Nicole - Bedford, NH | Traveled to
Angela was so helpful in planning our family's winter vacation. We hadn't cruised before and with 3 children, we had a lot of questions. She helped us plan half of the trip in Orlando at Universal and the second half on a Carnival cruise. It was a fantastic trip and I will definitely book through Angela again.
