Another fabulous trip!

Reviewed By TC - San Antonio, Texas | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Rey has booked several domestic and international trips for me over the years. Each time the experience was fantastic. Rey is not only a knowledgeable and experienced travel agent, he is patient with groups and always provides stellar customer service. The resorts are always fabulous and his recommendations on what to do when we arrive at our destinations make my vacations more enjoyable. I’ve counted on Rey to book fabulous vacations for over 10 years and he always delivers the best. I’ve always enjoyed the individual attention and care Rey provides his clients. He understands the apprehension that comes along with trying new places and is thorough and accommodating as a result. He’s also great at making suggestions on future vacations and I’ve never been disappointed when I follow his suggestions. Rey will remain my travel confidante for many years to come. He’s the best, hands down!

Fortieth birthday trip

My experience working with Rey has been great. He is very knowledgeable about his profession. My cousin and I wanted to plan a big trip for my fortieth birthday. Rey set up a trip to Dominican Republic which included an all inclusive five star hotel (Iberostar) with round trip transportation. Oh, how I wish I could show you pictures of the hotel, breathtaking. Before we could start popping bubbles we missed our flight. We called Rey and he quickly took care of the situation by putting us on another flight the next morning. To my delight, the hotel and transportation were in place as if nothing ever happened. I had a great time and would do it all over again missed flight and all because I know Rey will fix it:)

1st, Rey listened to us and understood what we wanted.A room with views of the mountains and the beach from the patio. Got that.

Needed the hotel to know it was our 25th wedding anniversary. The hotel took care of that in the form of a bottle of champagne and local snacks in a gift basket.

Location was perfect. We did research on our own, but Rey put us in the Hyatt Regency and it was exactly where we wanted to be.

Lo AL shops and restaurants are in walking distance. Cab and bus service on the same block if you want them.

All events like Luaus or whale watching tours available online or at the concierge desk daily.

We were able to do everything we wanted with minimal effort.

The beach is literally across the street. 3 0 yards and you're in the water.

We were there this month (February). Perfect time

Mall shopping 2 blocks away. Any and everything you're looking for, including cookies.

Airport is dated but shuttle service runs on schedule or request

“Rey did a great job with our trip, well organized, smooth transitions with train travel, transfers, transportation, etc. LOVED the hotels in Lake Como and Rome. The hotel in Venice was nice, but rooms were not air conditioned (they said they don't turn on the air conditioning until June), so we had to leave the windows open and we swatted at mosquitoes all night. British Airways employees suck, both at Heathrow and in Rome, just RUDE. Flight attendants going and coming were very nice. We loved Italy! Florence was our favorite, Lake Como was a close second.

An Italian Dream Honeymoon

Reviewed By Nikki - Montgomery, AL | Traveled to Venice ~ Italy ~ Europe
Our journey through Italy, expertly curated by Rey Alton, was a truly unforgettable experience. Rey's meticulous planning allowed us to dive deep into the heart of Italy's rich culture and history. The Vatican visit in Rome was a highlight, with Rey's arrangements helping us skip long lines and savor the beauty of the Sistine Chapel.

Florence's food tour was a delectable adventure, and Rey's restaurant recommendations were perfect. And our gondola ride in Venice was the epitome of romance, thanks to Rey's thoughtful preparation.

Rey Alton's expertise and dedication made our trip exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend him for a seamless and memorable journey.

Loved Italy

Reviewed By M Lewis - Houston Texas , United States | Traveled to Lake Como ~ Italy ~ Europe
“Everything was impeccable! The choices of hotels were of the highest quality and the transportation companies were extremely professional, courteous and always punctual! The only complaint was the airline from Rome to Nice with ITA Airways?? The flight did not come with paid baggage, and it would have been nice to have been informed prior to departure.”

Best Honeymoon to Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos

Reviewed By Robert J - New York, Ny | Traveled to Santorini ~ Greece ~ Europe
Rey exceeded all our expectations as the travel agent for our honeymoon trip to Greece. From the beginning, their communication was excellent - always prompt and proactive. He was available 24/7 and could not have been more attentive to the details. Rey put together an amazing itinerary, one that allowed us to see Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos over a 9-day period, but without feeling rushed or tired. From the Vedema in Santorini to the Acropolis view room at the St George Lycabettus in Athens, and the Myconian Avaton in Mykonos to the restaurants to the activities planned, it was a perfect mix of variety combined with amazing service. The tour guides Rey used for various activities were top notch - extremely knowledgeable, personable, and flexible. We learned so much about the country in a very short amount of time.

Professionalism, Responsiveness

Reviewed By MilkHouse - Houston, Texas | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
This is our first time using a travel agent and so far we are not disappointed! Due to Covid-19 we have been stressed with trying to plan our wedding and honeymoon. When our original hotel didn’t want to honor our original rate Rey found us another 5 star resort that met our specifications. He has also kept us updated on travel restrictions and requirements which helps to put our minds at ease. Hopefully despite everything going on now we’ll have a wonderful honeymoon!

hank you so much to Almeda Travel in particular Mr Alton!!!! My now wife were arranging our wedding last year and as you know the stress planning your wedding takes. Mr Alton took it upon himself to take away some of stress to plan our honeymoon. My wife loves tropical settings staying in the water, and with all the stress we both deserved it specially her. But she also knows what I like I wanted to explore stay active but relax. Our travel agent gave us great ideas and helped us decide in the greatest spot. We asked and he definitely delivered more than we could asked for. We stayed in the best resort we could ever imagine. Besides our wedding being the most memorable our honeymoon was our highlight because we were officially Mr and Mrs Vela. Behind this great experience was this great company and behind it is Mr Alton!!!!! Thank you our go to Travel Agent!!!!

Reviewed By M. Good - Houston, Texas | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
From beginning to end planning a trip with Rey is very easy. I have worked with Rey on several occasions, and each time I go I have a ton of ideas and I’m never sure of what I want. Rey gives me the best options and always gives me the best rates. I particularly like the fact that Rey will find the best hotels/resorts to fit the needs based on they type of vacation experience you are looking for. I highly recommend Rey for anyone looking for worry free trip planning.

Luxury Vacations - All Trips of a Lifetime!

Reviewed By Toni & Lance - Houston, TX | Traveled to Mexico
We first met Rey when planning one of the most important trips of lives, our destination wedding to the Riviera Maya area of Mexico. Rey helped us not only pick the absolute best resort for our wedding party but also coordinated every aspect of our travel for more than 50 guests. We are so thankful for his advice and guidance and absolutely loved the luxurious resort. So much so that we are thinking of planning our 10-year anniversary back there with all of our guests.

In our decade long relationship with Rey, he has planned several other vacations for our family (Aruba, Eastern Mediterranean ~ Rome/Sicily/Greece/Turkey, Dominican Republic) and for the friends we have referred to him. He's handled countless questions from our family and friends; all with ease and patience. We are very grateful for the relationship we've established with Rey!
