The Best Spring Break!

Reviewed By Corina - St. Louis Park, MN | Traveled to Canary Islands ~ Africa
Andre was incredibly easy and comfortable to work with. She advised us on great locations to visit in the Canary Islands, as well as found us affordable and convenient airfare and lodging. She had a variety of suggestions for us to choose from, giving us room to select what we wanted while still giving us valuable information. I would definitely work with her again and highly recommend her services.

Vacation Exceeded our Expectations

Reviewed By Denise Pendlelight - Belfast, ME | Traveled to Yucatan ~ Mexico
I can’t thank Andre enough for her expert guidance and services! We truly had an over-the-top family vacation 30th anniversary trip --with two grown children and their partners--at a Yucatan resort. Andre was always professional and personable. She took time to learn about our interests and values to give us a small selection from the many possible resorts. She promptly responded to any stupid questions and needs with genuine care, creativity, and competence. As relatively inexperienced travelers, we felt safe in her hands, knowing we could call with any worries (and we did!) of travel amidst a pandemic. We're grateful for the destination she led us to as well as for the direct flight with shuttle service she arranged. It was the most "stress-free-of-logistics"vacation ever and I won't hesitate to call her again.

The Perfect Combination

Reviewed By Happy Traveler - Phoenix, AZ | Traveled to France ~ Europe
Communicative and great with brainstorming to achieve the perfect vacation. We wanted to be gone about 3 weeks with a minimum of packing and unpacking. Combining the transatlantic crossing , long weekend in Bath, Seine Riverboat cruise and stay in Paris covered all of our desires. The arrangements all went as planned with minimal disruption. We never could have come up with the itinerary and arrangements on our own. So important to work with someone so attentive to our wishes.

Perfectly planned trip of a lifetime!

We had an amazing trip and every detail was arranged for us perfectly! We were chatting with another couple at the end or our river cruise. We found we had far better arrangements already set up for us than they did! When I found a problem with my travel documents, they were corrected immediately. The careful planning by Time Travels made traveling so much less stress free for us!

Another Wonderful Trip to England

Andre with Time Travels planned another great trip for my mom and I. We went to London, Liverpool and Bath in England. All of the hotels were excellent that we stayed in. The transport that was arranged from Heathrow to our London hotel was convenient and it was easy to find the driver at the airport. The entire trip was a wonderful experience thanks to Time Travels.

Fabulous and Carefree Vacation

Reviewed By Rebecca P - Denver, CO | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Andre has helped us plan several trips--family vacations, girls' trips, couple's getaway! They've all been great! We keep coming back to Andre because she makes our travel experience easy and feel seamless. She asks a ton of questions to figure out all the little details, make suggestions, and give us a reality check when we need it. Our most recent trip to Costa Rica was amazing, and with all the crazy logistics, I really don't think we could have done it without her. Our transfers and activities were all lined up and worked like clockwork. And it was great knowing we could contact her if we needed assistance. Highly recommend! Thanks!

Wonderful Trip to Ireland

Reviewed By Sarah - St. Paul | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
Andre is an excellent travel agent. She has planned several trips for me in the past. She is very easy to work with and makes sure that each trip will be memorable. When she started planning my trip to Ireland, she recommended a tour. I am so glad she did because I was able to see a wide variety of cities and sights in Ireland. The tour covered large cities like Dublin to small towns in the Irish countryside. Andre also recommended a tour because she knew I would get to stay in a castle. The castle was my favorite place that I stayed on the tour. I recommend Andre as a travel agent because she is very knowledgeable and has excellent recommendations for places to go and sights to see.

Our entire family LOVED this trip!

Reviewed By tokyoclaudia - Hugo, MN | Traveled to Mexico ~ Mexico
Everything was wonderful. Christmas is the highest season in Mexico, but Andre was able to find us an all-inclusive resort in Nuevo Vallarta right on the beach. Each of our four families had a family suite or a junior sweet with beach views. We had a non-stop flight leaving on December 27 with all 15 of us seated together. The food was good, location fabulous, rooms excellent and other expeditions lots of fun. Andre also encouraged us to purchase travel insurance, which we didn't have to use, but was a good thing to have. We will definitely use her again for other travel needs.

Top 5 Trip of All Time !!!

Reviewed By JP - St Paul, MN | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
We booked a trip for 6 to the Big Island and I was probably the most needy client ever!! Andre took extraordinary measures just to get out hotels and airfare handled through all of my many special requests regarding hotel rooms and plane seats!!!! Andre' was absolutely awesome! That hotel was 5 star charming and the food was outstanding (especially the omelets and fresh fruit ).
I experienced a little hiccup at the second stop, receiving the wrong room type from the host. When I told Andre of my issue she went to bat for me, solved my problem ASAP and actually got us refund from the hotel!

The planned accommodations, flights, excursions and valuable advice made this trip to the big Island the best ever. Thank you Andre so very much for guiding us through this most wonderful trip, and handling our hiccup. We cannot wait to call you for our next adventure !!!

Great train vacation

Reviewed By Wes - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to New Orleans ~ Louisiana ~ USA
Andre booked an Amtrak passenger-rail vacation for us: Minneapolis to New Orleans, round-trip. While in New Orleans, an alternate Tour was desired due to unexpected cold weather. We wanted to change from a Swamp/Bayou Tour (outdoors) to a Plantation Tour (warm bus and indoors). Andre' took care of us! Just a quick phone call to her and she had everything rearranged in minutes with minimal cost to us for an upgraded tour!

The entire vacation was interesting (train travel) and carefree. Andre took car of all the details - booked the trains, hotel and Tours. We haven't used a travel agent in many years, but will be using this agent for future travel plans!

Over the past decade Andre has helped me plan several varied and fantastic vacations. As a choosy and experienced traveler I know that I demand a high level of both expertise and service that includes exploring different itinerary possibilities and answering a multitude of questions. I always appreciate Andre’s thorough itinerary investigations and straightforward answers about what will and what will not work well on each trip. The best part is that I never have to worry about the details- tours, connections and transfers,- that can make or break a trip, being addressed and taken care of. Thanks again!

Great Trip! Catastrophic start

Reviewed By Jon - St. Paul, MN | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
We debated doing the internet search to plan a recent family trip but decided to enlist Andre's services based on Angie's list. She found us a variety of options to choose from. However it was the day of our departure that Andre excelled. We found out the hard way at airport check in that a minor's passport is only good for 5 years, not 10 like the rest of the family, so my daughter was denied boarding. I sent the wife and our eldest daughter and I stayed behind with the younger daughter in a frantic attempt to recover and adjust our plans. After leaving Andre a message on a Saturday morning, she quickly called me back and got to work to help me change and extend travel plans. Andre spent the better part of a Saturday on the phone with her contacts but was able to secure a new plan allowing us to pull everyone together after an emergency passport renewal. I honestly don't know what I would have done without Andre's tenacity and travel knowledge. She definitely went above and beyond!

Customer Testimonials

Honeymoon on the Rivera Maya

Neither my fiance or I had ever used a travel agent before, and we decided to try using one for our honeymoon. Based on Time Travels' high marks on line, I decided to call them. I wanted to go to Cozumel for our honeymoon. Andre, from Time Travels, listened to what we wanted to do, asked some questions and then recommended staying on the Riveria Maya instead of Cozumel. She said we would be closer to the attractions we wanted to do/see and we could stay at a much nicer resort. My fiance and I talked it over and decided to go with her suggestion. We are so happy that we listened to Andre! The resort she recommended was fantastic. We really enjoyed our honeymoon. She organized the flights, resort, and our day trips from the resort. Everything went off without a hitch. I recommend Time Travels Inc. She listened to what we wanted to do, and then made suggestions based on her expertise, experience. We had a great honeymoon as a result of listening to her recommendation.

Absolute Dream Honeymoon

André planned an absolute dream honeymoon for my husband and I! We spent two weeks in Europe visiting Barcelona, Spain and Sorrento, Florence, and Rome, Italy. She was very knowledgeable about all the cities and gave great advice on hotels, tour groups, and general site seeing. All of our hotels were smack in the center of the city which made getting around very easy. Our rides were prearranged to and from airports and train stations which really alleviated a lot of the stress of commuting between bustling European cities. This was the European honeymoon we dreamed of and couldn’t have done it without André and Time Travels, Inc. We have recommended her to several of our friends who had amazing trips as well. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! She has been in the business a long time and really knows her stuff. She will give you her honest advise, listen to what you want, and help plan the trip of your dreams!
