No Worries with Jarod's Journeys

Reviewed By David and Margaret - Olympia, WA | Traveled to Mexicali ~ Mexico ~ Mexico
Jarod is such a joy and knowledgable too. Before we left the USA, Jarod made sure we had all our questions answered. He helped us understand and complete the new COVID testing requirements, Mexican health forms, and USA document requirements. As a result, we had a wonderfully relaxing vacation in the sun. Nothing to worry about when you book with Jarod.

Best 2nd Honeymoon Ever!

Reviewed By The Bettrellos - Portland, Oregon | Traveled to Europe
From the beginning of planning our vacation (2nd honeymoon) , Jarod was professional, timely, and overall great to work with. He made sure we were informed about our options and made sure we were choosing what was right for us rather than just trying to make a sale. My husband and I appreciated how timely Jarod was with responding to emails and even having in depth phone conversations about our vacation. Once we started the process of purchasing everything, Jarod was so informative of what paperwork/procedures we needed to go through to make sure we were ready for our vacation. Even while traveling during COVID, Jarod made sure to touch base on health information/routines we would need to be aware of.

Jarod is on top of everything! From the big picture to the smallest detail, if you need help, he is right there for you! We had an amazing cruise with no little surprises, as Jarod walked us through everything involved, and had a great "itinerary" set up for us, according to our likes. He even made sure we had luggage tags and seasick cures if needed! He is the best!!! Thank you Jarod for an amazing time!!!

Jarod listened to what I wanted and delivered on all accounts! He is professional, excellent at his job, knowledgeable and above all friendly and customer oriented. I am usually the one doing all the planning when we travel and it was such a joy to not have already "lived" the vacation before we actually went on vacation!

Best trip to Cancun

Reviewed By John C - Seattle | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Jarod went above and beyond the standard travel agent duties for us. We had questions that required Jarod to make some inquiries. He did not hesitate one bit and it made the trip really fantastic. Friendly, competent and informative agents like Jared will always be needed even in our do it yourself computer age. There is no substitution for human interaction and human accountability. We will definitely use Jarod again!
