Amazing Mexico senior trip!
Right before we left he sent us a VERY detailed literary that laid out every aspect of the trip down to how to navigate the airport and customs to what to avoid (timeshare sellers) as we exited the airport. Upon arrival back in the States, Andy reached back out and wanted to know how the trip went and if there were any issues that arose in which he didn’t account for. Everything that he prepared for us was 100% spot on.
Overall I would definitely use Andy again to book travel in which I wanted a extremely well planned vacation and wanted someone looking out for me and my families best interest and safety.

Exploring the Last Frontier
We’ve just returned from a wonderful cruise to Alaska. We give so much credit to our travel agent Andy Spade for making it such a seamless journey. His attention to all of the details was a great comfort. When I struggled with some of the electronic documents, he was incredibly understanding & took the time to not only print all of the materials but also to deliver them to me because of the timing. From our very first interaction, I was impressed with his interpersonal skills, prompt attention & responsiveness to every inquiry . It was apparent that he genuinely cared & wanted us to be completely satisfied with his service. It meant so very much to us that he wanted to do everything within his power to insure that we had a great experience on this cruise. I can’t imagine using anyone else as a travel agent now that we have experienced the absolute best! Andy’s meticulous attention to every detail including the suggestion of special accommodations was comforting. Heartfel
I am truly humbled by your kind words and glowing review. It was a pleasure assisting you in planning your Alaska cruise.
