Mother's day vacation!
Reviewed By StephP - Jacksonville, FL | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Needed to purchase tickets for Universal Studios for mothers day and I had never been there before and there was so much information on the website I didn't even know where to start. Matt helped with breaking down ticket prices and going over the best deals possible. He even booked our Universal Hotel which was cheaper than going through the website. Everything was very easy and he was very helpful throughout the entire process and always checked up to see if I had any questions or issues. I would definitely book again through Matt Appleby! My mom and I had such a great time and she said it was a wonderful mother's day weekend.

Wonderful Trip! Wonderful Travel Agent!
Reviewed By L.Ruis - Macclenny. FL | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Reaching out to Matt for help in planning our trip to Epcot was an excellent idea! In order for any Disney trip to be successful, you really have to know the ropes - that’s where Matt comes in. He is a wealth of information and knows the tips and tricks that really make all the difference! He stayed on top of things and was very easy to communicate with. We had an absolutely wonderful trip and I believe that is in large part due to Matt and his expertise.

All Inclusive Honeymoon
Reviewed By Morgan - Jacksonville, FL | Traveled to Aruba ~ Caribbean
Matt has been our go-to for a lot of our trips. He was extra helpful especially with the Covid restrictions for this trip and a HERO the day we arrived in Aruba. The resort had an issue with our reservation and after asking him to step in he had our issues resolved within an hour (including the time it took to send him the information and for the hotel to fix THEIR problem). It was really a relief to have someone to help with issues instead of having to go back and forth with the resort lobby staff.

Matt makes the magic happen!
Reviewed By Mrs. Bond - Jacksonville, Fl | Traveled to Europe
Working with Matt has been an amazing experience! I have booked several trips with Matt since 2016. From vacations at Walt Disney World where Matt took care of all of our hotel, dining and park experiences to cruising the Mediterranean with experiences in Spain, France and Italy, Matt has made our vacations trouble free. He researches our destinations to provide information for us to have the best experiences possible. No task is too great and no question is too small for Matt. He listens and makes the magic happen!
