Everything went smoothly.

Excellent. Absolutely no issues or complaints.

We recently took a trip to India, part work and part fun. Greaves Travel was our agent in India; we were introduced through our local agent, Carol Horner. It was a delight to be supported by those teams.
The guides we had were superb!! Their knowledge of the history and what we were seeing was wonderful... My wife had three days in Delhi with the same guide and she was excellent. This made the Delhi part of the trip special to be able to really get to know her. We really enjoyed our interaction with all the Greaves staffing
We were met at each hotel and their agent assisted in the check in/check out details. The hotels they selected were not only lovely hotels but they all had a historical association that was unique
When we had a problem, very small by most standards, they stayed on the scene and took care of us. we were very very impressed with their service and follow through and would very highly recommend them for a visit to India

Working with Carol Horner at Travel Leaders was an absolute pleasure. From the first meeting she was always very personable, informative, and knowledgeable. She gave us excellent advice and suggestions, since we were first time river cruise travelers, concerning destinations, best time of year to travel, choice of staterooms and more. Closer to departure she provided us with detailed documentation that covered all aspects of the trip so we would know what to expect regarding flights, transfers, accommodations, excursions, etc. In addition, she tracked our travels in order to provide assistance should we have difficulties along the way. Our entire experience from the planning stages with Carol's help to the trip itself was fantastic. The Viking Rhine Getaway River Cruise was the perfect choice for us. The ship and all its crew were wonderful, accommodating any request. We enjoyed visiting all the cities on the river and the guides were terrific. It was a fantastic experience!

Carol is wonderful!!! Her planning and suggestions for travel are just what we needed... Her planning is complete and we know exactly where to go and what to expect. She has excellent ideas and alternatives for seeing a different place.
But when something goes unexpected she is right there to assist and solve the problem..She know when you are suppose to take off and land and if there is a glitch you can count on your email to "bing" with a question from her on your status and follow up solutions. We once missed a tour due to the in country agency mistake and she got our money back.
We have recommended her to our traveling friends and they have all had the same great experience.
You may think that just a travel guide book is enough but you will be missing
some great experiences if you don't talk to Carol and see what her ideas of what additional things to see and do.

Love Carol...we have been working with her as an agent for many years. She is the best in the area at what she does....I would not go to anyone else!!

This is the second time Carol and her team have saved my vacation!! I’ve been planning this trip for a year and had to shuffle my flight around but thankfully Carol did most of the leg work so I didn’t have to hold for hours on the phone and plead with AA to change my flight! It is definitely worth going to Carol at Travel Leaders!

Carol is absolutely amazing to work with! Been working with her for years and she knows what I like and look for when I am traveling. Have never been disappointed with any trip she has put together for me!!

Carol was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout our booking experience. She helped select flights that worked well with our travel and gave excellent suggestions for luggage, packing and miscellaneous travel suggestions. The pre-travel booklet provided great information for our trip. She was always available to answer any of our questions and address our concerns.

I don't know what we would do without Carol, I have a large family and they live all over the country and some out of the US, and she still manages to get all of us together with all our tickets and travel arrangements. I always enjoy working with her - she is so kind and easy going.

CAROL GOT IT ALL SET UP AND GOT US THE BEST DEAL AND THE CRUISE WAS GREAT. BEST THING WE DID WAS GOING TOO THE MEET AND GREET WITH VIKING AT HER OFFICE. EVERYTHING WENT AS PLANED. GREAT JOB.

Very responsive and helpful. Reaction to requests and questions was prompt and spot-on. Kept us abreast of any changes in our scheduled flights and agenda. Always was pleasant and patient. Will use Carol for all our travel needs.

Carol was a pleasure to work with. She had to step in when our original travel agent left the company and the communication improved dramatically. Carol gave us lots of tips and advise and we will use her again for future travels.

Carol, I love you and our Honeymoon that you planned for us. We had SO much fun and felt safe the entire time. I am currently working on a detailed review of our trip. We had some fantastic surprises and some informative experiences. I can't wait to plan our next trip with you. We plan on coming back and sending anyone we know your way. Thank you for the BEST, stress free honeymoon I could have asked for.

This was the second tour we booked with Carol, and it’s always a pleasure to work with her. Beyond the actual decision making and booking, we ran into unusual circumstances. It was hurricane season. We especially appreciated her hard work and attention to our particular situation (hurricane coming in

I saw Carols picture on her website and thought she looked very down to earth and professional.. someone I could relate to being a first time international traveler... I was soo correct on all levels.. she made my experience from start to finish fun, professional and stress free.. traveling to Africa I thought it would be very chaotic.. but, she took her time and found the best routes and flights and hotels for me to enjoy..
I highly recommend her to anyone and I myself will hire her services again even from abroad..
Thank you soo much Carol, look forward to other adventures through your services!

It was such a pleasure to work with Carol while our group made plans to travel to Austria and Germany. She set up every part of our travel and it was absolutely perfect!!! We will definitely have Carol help us with travel plans in the future!! We even received a handwritten Thank You note from her and it was waiting for us when we returned.

Second trip she booked for our family! She is very detailed- we have many details on both trips - family members traveling from different areas to our destination... and she handled it all both times seamlessly!
She had great recommendations on resorts and we could not have been happier! She will be booking our third trip!

Carol and her staff are always a pleasure to work with. Her knowledge and experience makes picking a place to vacation so easy. She is my permanent travel leader.
Thank you Carol.

Friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. Carol, works hard to find each item that will make your trip a special event for you. Whether it's flights, cruises or resorts she makes sure you are kept up to date on itinerary changes, transfers or any other matter that may impact your travel.
Carol cares about your comfort and enjoyment and is well versed in providing a great plan that fits your time line and budget. If there is a question that you have regarding travel, she knows from her travel experience or knows who t contact to get the right answer for you.

Carol is fabulous. She was so efficient in making arrangements for the cruise, air, private transfers and hotels. Always responded quickly to any questions or requests.

Wonderful!! I have used Carol for travel for 20 years and every trip she books for me is amazing!!

Carol provides great, thorough service. Detail oriented, you can rest assured she's covered every aspect of your travel plans!

Quick to return phone calls or emails.

A good listener

Follows through with the "good listener" discussions.

Provides a comfortable mannerism .

Follows through with customer desires / needs

We have been working with Carol for 10 years now and continue to have stellar service year after year. As her client I feel like I don't have to worry about anything because she takes care of everything. I feel like my vacation is so organized and well put together that all I have left to do is enjoy it! Carol also emails me along the way to make sure I am getting everything ready for the trip. It's nice to know I have someone there if I have a question or need help with anything, trust me she has done that before! One time there was a problem with our flights overseas and she was at her home after 9pm changing our flights so we didn't get stuck in a worker's strike and miss our honeymoon cruise. Now that's a dedicated travel agent! I hope we ne er have another bad incident but I know I can count on Carol to be there. She even checks on us after our trip and if we had a good time. Carol is an exceptional travel agent and a fabulous person. So much better than online services!

Like always, Carol made our trip experience so easy and wonderful. She's so great to work with and really takes all the guess work away!

She's great! No need to ever look for another agent. She is very knowledgeable and made everthing so easy from the planning stage until we were picked up at the airport on our return.

This is the second trip I've had Carol plan for us. Due to bad weather, our first early morning flight got pushed back several hours throwing all our connecting flights and ultimately our whole trip off a day. Carol jumped right in and started calling airlines, hotels, and rental car companies getting everything changed around so that the rest of our trip was corrected. She kept me updated every step of the way communicating via phone calls, email and text. Couldn't have asked for someone to handle it better!

This was a wonderful vacation. Carol and her team helped us with the planning and, when we experienced some difficulties on the flight back, they were right there for us the whole time.

Carol made our families first trip to Disney World and Universal the best experience! Thank you for putting the trip together for us and letting us enjoy the time with our family. This is the 2nd vacation we planned with Carol and plan to do more with her. Thank you Carol!

Working with Carol was a seamless experience in that our bookings and reservations were wonderful. I did not have to worry about following up or wondering what the "next steps" were. Thank you for making our trip a memorable experience.

My husband and I booked an anniversary trip,to Italy. Carol was amazing. We used another local travel agency before to book a trip to Hawaii for our last anniversary, and that agency did not come close to what Carol did for us. Her attention to detail, her work to make sure everything ran smoothly for us was amazing. We have not been abroad for over 30 years and were very nervous about our trip. Carol had the patience to take multiple phone calls, and set up multiple meetings with us (she even scheduled them before her normal office hours to accommodate our work schedules.)

I have never worked with anyone who followed our trip step by step to ensure that we had no hiccups. We take trips every two years and we will, without a doubt, without one s cond of hesitation, user Carol again.

This was my first trip via Carol and Travel Leaders. Carol prepared us extremely well with tips and all possible options. There were no surprises or extra charges. Carol handled all aspects of the trip including our air and extra days in Amsterdam again with no extra charges or surprises.

This was a great trip and we will be planning another within 12-18 months.

Nothing but the best! She is professional, timely in communication, helpful in making planning decisions and just plain fun to work with.She knows the travel industry and saved us many headaches trying to plan it on our own. We would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a seamless experience planning their next trip!

Carol is extremely resourceful in finding the best experiences and lodging in both our trips to Europe and the Viking River cruises. She was always available by her cellphone to help us out if things didn't go quite as planned, and gave us alternatives or set them up as soon as they were needed. Her follow up was great, so we never felt "alone" out there! And she is very personable and has a lot of great experiences to plan a memorable trip.

Carol is dedicated to her customers and their needs. Her skills and knowledge across many travel sectors (airline, cruise, hotels, rental car) benefit her clients. Carol's friendly personality is easy to approach yet she remains always professional. Even in difficult situation I can count on her to check, follow-up and if needed make changes to my travel. She is a true professional in this industry. Once you have dealt with her, you won't find anyone as good as she is.

Carol was absolutely fantastic in planning our honeymoon - she was really thoughtful in understanding what it is we were looking for and what would make our honeymoon unforgetable and she delivered on all fronts.

I can't speak highly enough about the process, and know exactly where to turn for our next adventure! Thank you Carol.

If you're looking for a beautiful respite in the DR that's not like the other over-crowded resorts, Zoetry is the way to go - Incredible in every way.

I have worked with Carol for years, and have always had an excellent experience. She is efficient, knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. She always has great recommendations for family travel. She is amazing when flights are delayed or cancelled! She is right on top of it and fixes it usually before I can get in touch with her. I can't say enough positive things about Carol and the service she provides.

Carol is excellent to work with. She has made our trips fabulous and without any problems.

Responsive, efficient, everything we needed for a spectacular trip (specifically tailored to our needs/desires)!

Great experience. No issues with arrangements. Everything was taken care of.
Documentation was presented in a very thoughtful way. I will highly recommend Carol's services. thanks

Carol is the greatest...not only did she plan a great trip for us in Ireland, but she put up with all of my questions lol. She even went the extra mile to make a dinner reservation for us at a castle and notify a B&B that we would appreciate an early check in if possible. I would recommend Carol to anyone making travel plans and will continue to use her for all my travel needs.

Carol listened to what we wanted and our vacation surpassed expectations. She asked questions that we had not even thought of.

Carol is the most organized and informed agent and is always available to answer our questions!

Although I have not worked with any other travel agency or travel agent, I know I don't need to. Carol and the Travel Leaders team was extremely detailed and took every step to ensure we had the best trip of our lives. From the initial planning stage until the moment we were back home from our trip, Carol was just a call or text away. She was genuinely excited for us and our adventure and had great tips for myself as this was the first time I was traveling outside of the country. I was most impressed with her organization and quick response with any question we had (even investigating the name of the small taco hut near the beach in Tamarindo). The two resorts treated us spectacularly and everyone we met was extremely accommodating. Having excursions nearly every day could have been a scheduling nightmare, but everything went off without a hitch! I would not change a thing about our trip and can say with certainty we absolutely could not have done it without Carol.

Carol always responds quickly to our questions and inquiries about trips. She provides a lot of information on destinations and spends time going over the itinerary before we leave. Carol always "has our back" if any issue arises when we are traveling; she finds a solution right away. She knows almost immediately if there is a connection issue when flying (sometimes before we do), and she works to find another flight to get us to our destination as soon as possible. Over the years, Carol has arranged dozens of trips for us and our family, and we have never been disappointed. She is like our American Express card - we would not leave home without her.

I travel with 8-10 people for cruises and land tours. Carol is always pleasant and very professional whenever I need questions answered despite her very busy schedule. She always put in extra effort whenever I need help. She follows our trips if there are any delays or cancellations from the very start to the end. She was exceptional in dealing with the Insurance company when we had to cancel our trip to Brussels and the Netherlands to make it easier for us all to be reimbursed. She also made it so easy for us all when we had a 24 hour delay in New Orleans for hotel stay and meals.

Very professional and thorough

Carol and her staff were first class from the moment we met them all the way through our planning process and finalization of our documents for our trip I see no way it could have been made any easier for us.

Carol rose to the challenge of planning and coordinating a Viking cruise for our group of 18. Not all travelled on the same dates or from the same state. All experienced seamless travel complete with transfers to and from airports and/or hotels. Her commitment to providing ongoing, current and pertinent information was evidenced before, during and after the trip. My husband and I look forward to working with her on our next cruise. Thank you Carol for planning an incredible trip.

I would use no one else other than Carol! I feel confident that she takes care of things for me, and I never have to worry about forgetting something. Plus, she is patient with my million questions! Thanks for everything Carol!

Carol provided us with an excellent trip experience.

Carol is so fun and easy to work with! This was our 2nd time working with her on extended (3 weeks) trips to Europe, each including Viking river cruises. All details were taken care of and she made sure we had every piece of documentation we needed before leaving. I had 1 "hiccup" when we missed a connecting flight in Europe. Carol was on top of it as soon as I texted her the situation. She was even up working on rescheduling a tour we had missed at 6:30 AM the next morning! Couldn't ask for a more competent travel agent!

I have used Carol for almost 10 yrs! She keeps me on file and knows the type of vacation's we (friends/fam) like to enjoy!(Budget/ quality /entertainment/atmosphere/resort type) I have never been disappointed going to places I have never been before. I have been on several cruises (3 or more) using her services, and 4 times at a reasort! We loved one resort so much we got some family members to return to get married there and we went again. We have recently returned from Costa Rica-RIU Palace... Again we are planning to return but stay 7 or 8 days next year. Carol is always on point! She will be our travel agent until she is no longer in service.
Oh-and the personal services you receive are the best ever. About 2 weeks before your trip you will receive a packet and a little binder with tips on your travel, about your destination, airport layouts-and private airport teansfers etc. And you get a personal note upon your return and she appreciates feedback-(-or+)

Great preparation and insight by Carol . Was followed by a very solid job by Viking. We will definitely use both again.

I have worked with Carol and her team at Travel Leaders since moving to the Hampton Roads area in 2010. As a small business owner there just isn't the time it takes to book travel and prepare yourself for a trip. That's where Carol and her team come in and shine every time. From the seamless travel packages they provide to the outstanding customer service. I simply won't travel without the professional assistance from Carol and Travel Leaders.

Having never booked an international trip before, Carol made the experience as simple as possible. The attention to detail and overview/insight Carol provided us was fantastic. She answered all of our questions thoroughly and often already provided material on the issues before we could think of them. Our stay at the Sandals Regency La Toc was top notch and was an experience both my wife and I will remember always. We look forward to our next trip and can't wait to begin planning it again with Carol and her team.
