Train Trip
Reviewed By Amanda - Edmonton, KY | Traveled to St. Louis ~ Missouri ~ USA
My 5 year old son is fascinated with trains. I called stay salty not knowing if they could help with trains. David is very knowledgeable about train travel from several companies. We chose a day trip on a steam engine train through some beautiful scenery. My son was overwhelmed with the train and the sights. I highly recommend stay salty travel company

Best Vacation Planning Experience
Reviewed By Tina - Bowling Green, KY | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
I loved working with Ellen of Stay Salty Travel Company! I always thought it would cost more to use a travel agent when booking a vacation. I was wrong! It did not cost one penny more than if I had booked myself. And, Ellen was able to keep me updated on due dates, things to do, and tips on travel. She was available to answer every question I had and made our vacation perfect! I will use Stay Salty Travel for my next vacation plans! Thank you Ellen for everything you did to make our trip GREAT!

I've never worked with a travel advisor before. I wasn't sure how the process went but after calling Ellen and David they made me feel so at ease and really made my first vacation post covid very simple. They did all the research and gave me lots of information about San Juan and what to expect all along my trip. I'm so glad I called them. They're my GO TO now!

They did all the work so we could stay STRESS FREE
Reviewed By Amy England - Glasgow, KY | Traveled to Mexicali ~ Mexico ~ Mexico
We called Ellen after finding her on the "find a travel agent near me" on google search. She was very professional and quick to respond to our questions. She asked us lots of questions and researched 3 different itineraries for us. Her planning fee $100 was very reasonable and I've paid WAY more than that before. The trip we chose was just what we were looking for and Ellen made the whole process stress free. I'll gladly use Stay Salty Travel again for all my travel needs.
