Super with our constraints - happy results

Reviewed By Lahdeedah - Charleston, SC | Traveled to Scotland ~ Europe
Connie worked within our budget and destination goals for a driving vacation in Scotland that had to be wedged in between a family trip to Denmark and a small-ship cruise around Iceland. She quickly followed up on our questions, requests, concerns, and helped us shape a trip that made us very happy. When we thought there was a "hiccup" with the airport transfer in Glasgow, she was available by text/email which was most reassuring. She's a real professional and works to get you the results you request.

Personable, Patient & Professional

Reviewed By Rosi & Howie - Summerville, SC | Traveled to Europe
Ever have a friend who knows a lot about something, shares that knowledge willingly, and doesn't make you feel somehow inadequate because you don't know the same things? That's Connie Antinopoulos.

She is very knowledgeable about the travel industry; and if there's something she doesn't know, she knows where to find the answer. She's also willing to add to her store of information if you have something to contribute.

Connie has arranged several trips to Europe for us - from transfers, flights and lodging to a river cruise. Walking us through the various scenarios we came up with, she helped us fine-tune until we got the experience we wanted.

Through all the changes, suggestions, and requests we made, she remained cheerful, helpful and accessible, way beyond what might be expected of her. Due to that, our trips have far exceeded our original expectations.

Would we recommend her? Definitely. Will we use her services again? Absolutely!

Reviewed By Taylor - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Santorini ~ Greece ~ Europe
I cannot imagine planning a honeymoon to Greece without the help of Connie and Travel Leaders. She informed me that she had previously lived in Greece and it was obvious throughout the entire planning process. She gave me great insight into the islands and into the city of Athens. Traveling to and from was seamless with little time wasted in between. We stayed in three different hotels over a period of seven nights and I’m not sure which hotel we liked best! She was prompt with her responses and was able to answer every question I had.

Best trip we could have ever hoped for.

Reviewed By Will - Charleston South Carolina | Traveled to Hawaii Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Connie was outstanding. All she needed from us was where we wanted to go. She presented us with sites that we might have been interested in, and the greatest value. She held our hands through the entire process, and made sure we understood by communicating step by step which was very important to me. Our first experience with Connie was a seven day cruise to Hawaii, and we were so impressed with her services, that we booked another cruise and took our entire family of fifteen to the islands for the Christmas holidays. Connie is has vast knowledge of the business, and gives friendly and professional services.

Absolutely an amazing Trip to Greece and Italy

Reviewed By Ike - Sumter, SC | Traveled to Santorini ~ Greece ~ Europe
Absolutely loved it! Everyone was raving about how well things went. Transfers were all seamless, tour guides were amazing, hotels were great and everyone was very courteous and professional. Agali Houses and H10 Palazzo Gala hotels were both incredible. Royal Olympic was a slightly older hotel but the view for breakfast of the Acropolis made up for any short comings. The kiddos loved the pools and spent several hours a day there when they could.
I know I already mentioned this but our tour guides were amazing! Knowledgeable, pleasant, funny, personable, punctual, and just great people who were passionate about their jobs. This is how we will travel from now on. We have already started talking about another European trip in 2 years when Erin graduates. Planning for London, Paris, and possibly Spain!
Thank you so much. I hope you are taking new clients as I plan to tell everyone about the incredible job you did for us!

First trip to Europe

Reviewed By Linda - Charleston, South Carolina | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
I wanted to surprise and join my nephew as he celebrated his birthday in Greece. It's also my birthday! I had never traveled to Europe and I was traveling alone, so was anxious about making the trip. From the first time I contacted Connie, she was so understanding and helpful. While I wanted to celebrate our birthdays with my nephews, I also wanted to venture out on my own and tour different islands. Connie and her team in Greece planned every detail: from planes, ferries, transfer transportation, excellent accommodations, and tours. I had 24/7 contact numbers for the whole team. Throughout the 2 week trip, I felt safe and well cared for. I now have the confidence to venture out on more solo trips, with Connie's help, of course!

Northern Lights Hurtigruten

I have always been interested in taking a trip to an area where I could observe the Northern Lights and Connie immediately connected me to a cruise that was well respected for excursions along the Norwegian coast. Connie took great care to explain everything about the cruise line and provided a very detailed description of what to expect. I was incredibly impressed with how she reached out to the cruise line to obtain additional information specific to my interest, with an astronomy lecture series! Connie took care of everything....the flights, excursions and hotels. It was a turn key with Connie ensuring everything was ready to go! The trip was absolutely amazing, and something I will never forget. In addition to this incredible experience I had on my trip and the expert advice + customer service I received from Connie, I also feel like I made a new friend. There is NO doubt that I will request Connie's assistance for all my travel needs. Jeffrey K. King, Ph.D.,P.E.

Vancouver was great fun and friendly people everywhere, beautiful views, and of course the US Women's World Cup ! Once again you were a critical component in planning a trip we will never forget.
