To say that South Africa is a virtual paradise is a true statement. The country geographically consists of an unspoiled coastline stretching for 2800 kilometres/1740 miles, dramatic mountains and escarpments, extensive bushveld, subtropical forest and outstanding wetlands. Although a comparatively large country, South Africa is easy to get around due to its excellent air and rail services.

Thompson tours reviews, posted on google.

Pat 1 review a week ago NEW I recently traveled to Ireland with my sister on a Thompson organized trip. Thankfully, we took out the suggested trip insurance because on day 1, a medical emergency required us to remain in town while the tour continued on. Eileen's attention to detail was so helpful and definitely eased our minds. She rebooked hotels, arranged local transportation, rebooked our flights and ensured we received the necessary airport assistance in Ireland and in the US. No hesitation to recommend Eileen and Thompson for your travel needs . *****

Lisa 5 reviews·10 photos 8 months ago We just returned from California to see Penn State play and win in the Rose Bowl! Eileen and her staff were top-notch! Enjoyed the most beautiful stay, and our transport was via luxury buses! Don’t hesitate to book with her-you won’t be disappointed! *****

Angela 1 review 9 months agoJust got back from a fabulous trip in NYC! Eileen from Thompson Travel did a fantastic job putting it all together for us. The hotel she chose was beautiful, well appointed, and located right in the middle of everything! We felt comfortable and safe! Eileen took great care to take care of us going way above and beyond the norm! Our flights were perfect with no airport drama that is so common these days! Highly recommend Thompson Travel!  *****

Jack 2 reviews a year ago Recently returned from a trip to England, Scotland, and Wales with Thompson Tours....our second trip to Europe with Eileen. My wife and I had a great time. The accommodations were First Class...just beautiful. The included meals were great. Eileen selected restaurants where we could experience local delicacies...including haggis. Also had alot of fun visiting several pubs...got to drink a few pints with the townspeople who were welcoming and friendly to American visitors. The tours that Eileen arranged were well planned and extremely interesting...my favorite being the visit to Winston Churchill's War Rooms. Several of the tours included local guides who were very knowledgeable and showed us things we never would have been able to find on our own. One of the guides taught us how to use the London train system...perfect for free time and independent exploration. Eileen was actually with us on the trip. I got to witness and appreciate just how hard she works to make sure everything goes smoothly, and everyone has a great time. Will be booking many more adventures with Thompson Tours in the future.  *****

Barbara 1 review a year agoJust returned from the National Parks tour out west.  We saw a lot of sights which was exactly what we wanted. There were only 25 people on the full size bus which was great for spreading out. Would have helped if maybe there were videos about the sights to make the ride more enjoyable. The only accommodation I had trouble with was the ski resort.  Seemed like it was way out of the way and not the best place for “senior citizens “. A couple of restaurants were questionable for a choice of dinner.  Had better leftovers at home. I would travel with Thompson again mostly for Ellen Toole.  She was a hoot and kept us informed and entertained.  ****

Just returned from Thompson's tour of Iceland.  Everything on the tour went smoothly because of Ellen's checking on the hotel and meal arrangements,etc.  Thank you to George too with lifting suitcases and helping with the details and for his reassurance that all was going well. I also appreciated that this was a small group of very nice,helpful people.  Thanks especially for help at the waterfalls and the glacier! Iceland is a beautiful country and we experienced many waterfalls, glacier hiking (!), and other geological wonders unique to Iceland.(ie hot springs).  Thanks to the planning for the trip by Thompson tours, we stayed in very nice Icelandic hotels, had opportunities to get to know each other and learn much more about Iceland.  Kudos to Dylan our guide for all of the interesting facts and stories about the Icelandic culture,history and geology.  I would highly recommend this tour. - definitely a bargain!! *****

How Can I Find the Best Travel Agents Near Me?

by Michael Kerbelis | May 12, 2018 | Advice

When you search “travel agents near me,” chances are a  lot  of results pop up. How do you know which travel agents you should work with? Every travel agency is different, so it helps to know what to look out for as you compare travel agencies. Use this guide to ensure you end up working with a travel agent uniquely suited to your needs.

6 Questions to Ask as You Search for Travel Agents Near Me

On this Page you’ll find questions to ask to find the right travel agents near me:

• What are you hoping to get out of working with a travel agent?
• How can I tell if a particular travel agent is right for me?
• Doe the location of the travel agent matter?
• Is the travel agent a real travel expert?
• Can the travel agency get you a good deal?
• Are the travel agents near me offering competitive pricing?

Here are 6 things to consider when you start searching, “travel agents near me”:

1. what are you hoping to get out of working with a travel agent.

Travel agents often act more as travel advisors , dispensing advice and expertise to match their clients with the best vacation for their unique needs.

Travel agents today do so much more than simply book an airline ticket or cruise cabin. Make sure you’re aware of all the services your travel agent offers as you start to plan your trip together.

These travel services may include:.

• A complimentary consultation call to learn more about your needs
• Researching travel options and crafting custom itineraries
• Booking flights and hotel
• Arranging special tours and activities
• Offering support while you travel

2. How can I tell if a particular travel agent is right for me

Okay, you’ve Googled “travel agency near me” and found a couple of good travel agencies.

How do know which travel agent you should work with?

Well, every travel agency is different.

Some travel agencies specialize in specific kinds of travel — like luxury travel, family travel, group travel , romance travel — or specific travel destinations .

Other travel agencies may stand out to you by how well they serve their clients (which you can tell by reading testimonials).

To help you pick the best travel agents to work with, think about

• Does the travel agency specialize in a type of travel, destination, or travel style (like cruising)?
• Do they have positive testimonials from past clients?
• How long have they been working in the travel industry?
• Do they have special certifications?

How a travel agency answers these questions helps them stand out from other agencies out there — and helps  you  to know whether it’s the right travel agency for your vacation needs.

3. Does the location of the travel agent matter?

These days, the location of a travel agency matters much less than factors like the agency’s areas of expertise, commitment to service, and the value they bring to their clients’ vacations.

That’s because many travel agencies today work with clients all across the U.S., even if they have a physical location.

This way, you get the best of both worlds.

If you decide to work with a travel agency that’s local to you, you can go into the office for a consultation.

But if you find an agency that seems like a good fit but is not local, that’s okay — many travel agencies work with clients over the phone and through email.  Working with an online travel agency gives you the freedom to choose travel specialists who truly fit your needs, no matter where they’re located!

To put it simply — a travel agency’s depth of knowledge is what matters most, whether they’re in your backyard or not!

4. Is the travel agent a real travel expert?

It’s not simply enough to search “travel agency near me” — you want to make sure the agent you work with is a true professional.

A travel agent with in-depth knowledge will be able to craft a truly outstanding vacation for you. 

Crafting the Perfect Vacation For Your Needs and Budget

When it comes to crafting the perfect vacation, it pays to book with a real travel expert.

Travel agents that boast plenty of experience and expertise in the travel industry will be able to design an itinerary that fits your needs, and your budget.

Plus, when you work with a qualified agent who’s experienced, they may have better relationships with travel suppliers (like resorts, hotels, and cruise lines) and may be able to score you extra perks or amenities .

Expertise and Focus on Travel Specialities

Look for travel agencies that have years of experience under their belt and a clear focus on distinct travel specialties — like honeymoons , family trips , and all inclusive vacations — within their travel agency.

5. Can the travel agency get you a good deal?

Like mentioned above, reputable travel agents have nurtured relationships with their favorite travel suppliers.

That means those travel suppliers will treat the agency’s clients  extra  well.

Many travel agents also have access to special package pricing that can be hard to find online.

Getting the Best Value for Your Buck and Needs

Keep in mind, though, that working with an expert travel agent is more about getting the best value for your vacation, not necessarily the best “deal.”

A travel agent that’s truly looking out for you won’t recommend a certain resort or hotel, for example, if it doesn’t fit your needs — even if it has rock-bottom pricing.

The biggest perk of working with a travel agency is knowing that all of the recommended properties and travel activities come fully vetted by a trusted expert.

The biggest perk of working with a travel agency — knowing you've got a trusted expert looking out for you. Share on X

6. Are travel agents near me offering competitive pricing?

Typically, yes.

Travel agents provide pricing that’s competitive with what you find online — and sometimes even better.

That’s because a good travel agent will take the time to do research that reveals the best travel options for your needs and budget.

Keep in mind that some travel agencies charge a planning fee for their services that’s applied on top of the cost of your vacation.

Many other agencies do not, offering complimentary planning services for their clients.

Travel Agent Myths — and the Truth About Travel Agencies

Not everything you’ve heard about working with travel agents is true.

As you search for “travel agency near me,” make sure you can separate fact from fiction.

Here are a few myths you may have heard about travel agents that just aren’t true when it comes to experienced, trustworthy travel agencies:

• “I can book the same trip online”. Not True — expert travel agents pull from a deep well of knowledge to craft the perfect vacation for you. There’s so much information online that you just don’t know who to trust. Working with a travel agent brings you incredible peace of mind that you just won’t get when you book yourself.
• “Travel agents only book with properties that offer the highest commission.” Not True — reputable travel agents always put their clients’ needs first, not commissions. If a travel agency has been around for a while and shows off client testimonials, you can trust that that agency has a long history of doing what’s best for their clients.
• “All travel agents are the same.” Not True — that’s why it’s so important to look beyond travel agencies that are near you to find the perfect fit for your vacation needs. Look for a travel agency that has a long track record of delivering for clients, specializes in the type of vacation experience you’re after, and offers a personalized service with a complimentary consultation call. During that call, you can determine if a particular agency is truly right for you.

Thanks for mentioning that travel agencies work closely with travel supplies which can help you get a good deal on trips. I remember my sister mentioning that she would like to go on a honeymoon after she gets married next month, but she is worried that her limited budget will prevent her from traveling since she spent a lot of money on her wedding. Maybe she should consider finding a travel agency that will help her save money.

Absolutely Eli! That’s what we do, maximize our client’s budget to create dream honeymoons!

My husband and I are wanting to stay in a vacation home next summer (September 28 to November 5). We want to stay on Marimar Beach/Destin Florida. We will be having up to 7 adults, 1 child. We cannot afford to spend over $3500 total. Also, June 28 2024 we’re planning to go to Yellowstone National Park for our 30th anniversary. So we’re trying to plan both at the same time. It’s exhausting and nervracking.

"And the butler service was amazing — we just had to tell our butler what we wanted to do and when, and he made it happen.

“I know a lot of people book their travel online, but the biggest disadvantage of doing that is you have no one to turn to if you ever have a problem. I’ve been using Southern Travel Agency for years, and I appreciate having somebody I can call who can get a problem taken care of — which saves us from ruining the whole trip!”

“My summer travel plans had gotten too complicated for me to handle myself. I walked in to Southern Travel Agency, talked with Mike Kerbelis, and soon had everything worked out. I will go back here the next vacation I need to plan. Everyone in the office was friendly and helpful. I am very pleased with my experience.”

“I’d never used a travel agency before, but working with you was awesome — we’ll now be booking all of our travel through Southern Travel Agency. You made it very easy!”

“The Sandals staff at Emerald Bay was so accommodating. There were so many restaurants to choose from and the spa was outstanding. Not to mention that magnificent blue water! We’re so glad we used Mike to plan our trip, and we will continue to use him. He made great suggestions on places we should go, made all the reservations, and supplied us with travel documents with an itinerary. All we had to do was just show up at the airport!”

“We were planning our small all inclusive destination wedding in Barbados, but Delta cancelled their flights unexpectedly. I had to change the date of the wedding and the resort or else a lot of my guests wouldn’t be able to go. Once I found out Barbados wasn’t going to work, Mike Kerbelis and his team went over the top to help me. I spent a whole Saturday with him. He said, ‘Show me what you want and we’ll work from

Once I found out Barbados wasn’t going to work, Mike Kerbelis and his team went over the top to help me. I spent a whole Saturday with him. He said, ‘Show me what you want and we’ll work from there.’ And he did it! I told him I liked new, and he thought Grenada would be perfect, since his sister just spent her honeymoon there and loved it. They worked all the travel out for our guests too.”

“When we’re trying to put a big group of us together for our medical mission trips, we need someone who can roll with the punches — and Mike does. He coordinates everyone’s travel schedules, and he even helped us with ticket issues getting back into the country. He handles everything!”

“We just returned from a two-week honeymoon at the Sandals resorts in Barbados and Grenada, planned by Southern Travel Agency. It was all so beautiful! As a true beach lover, I really appreciated how the atmosphere and focus of direction at the Sandals Barbados resort revolved around the incredible beach. Almost every restaurant had a full beach view. Thank you to Mike for finding the right fit for us. He truly listened to what we are looking for before making

It was a very personal planning experience, and he helped make what we were wishing for a reality. Plus, he takes the stress out of planning. We never had to worry about timing or that things weren’t well organized. We’re already working with him on planning a family trip and another couples trip in the future!”

“We would like to recommend Southern Travel Agency in Augusta, GA. Our representative Jane, was especially helpful in arranging an ocean cruise from Los Angeles to Ft. Lauderdale through the Panama Canal. She provided us with excellent comparisons of available ocean cruises so we could decide which best fit our needs. Due to complications from knee replacement surgery, I am not able to walk long distances. Jane was most helpful in arranging for a handicapped accessible cabin. She also suggested

“We would like to recommend Southern Travel Agency in Augusta, GA. Our representative Jane, was especially helpful in arranging an ocean cruise from Los Angeles to Ft. Lauderdale through the Panama Canal. She provided us with excellent comparisons of available ocean cruises so we could decide which best fit our needs. Due to complications from knee replacement surgery, I am not able to walk long distances. Jane was most helpful in arranging for a handicapped accessible cabin. She also suggested a company where we were able to rent a motorized scooter. I was surprised to learn that they would put the scooter in our cabin in Los Angeles and we could leave it in the cabin when we reached Ft. Lauderdale. Jane was also very knowledgeable and helpful when we were planning our side trip excursions. We will surely use Southern Travel Agency and Jane to arrange our next cruise.”

“We’d worked with Jane at Southern Travel Agency before to arrange all the details of a previous trip — so we had confidence in her. All the arrangements for our AmaWaterways river cruise were made through her. Prior to departing, we met with her in person and she went over the trip step by step and helped us with all the paperwork. We had confidence she’d put together a river cruise trip we’d enjoy — and she did.”

“It gives me great comfort to know that if a problem arises while I’m out of the country, Southern Travel Agency can take care of it on their end. Mike and his team make me feel safe when I’m in a foreign country. I know they have my back no matter where I am. They’ll get it worked out and fixed for me. Thank you!”

“We had the most marvelous time of our lives on this cruise. I’ve never thought that I would be spoiled and pampered as I did for my birthday. The staff treated me like I was the only passenger on the ship, and the food — omg! you couldn’t get enough; they had so much of a variety to choose from! I want to thank you for your help on choosing this cruise for us and I’m already looking forward to

“I had a wonderful experience working with Lauren to plan a Viking European river cruise trip through Eastern Europe. She was a great help. When I wanted to book this package I sent her an email of what I wanted, and started with the “oh by the ways …” — she gladly took care of all of my special requests. She took care of getting us Delta Comfort seats, and she dealt with a little hiccup just a day before

She took care of getting us Delta Comfort seats, and she dealt with a little hiccup just a day before we left. In today’s world, you can do anything on the internet by yourself, but if something goes wrong it was nice to be able to have that kind of service.”

“I just wanted to personally say thank you for all your help in making our honeymoon AMAZING! You were with us 100% of the way, and for that, you have customers for life! We are already looking forward to working with you again in years to come.”

“We have been using Southern Travel for years and they’ve booked numerous trips for us (including all three of my children’s honeymoons). Mike and the staff are great. They have lots of experience, so they can help you plan a fabulous trip while getting the most for your dollar. And when the airlines change flights or the unexpected comes up, they are just a phone call away and take care of everything. I highly recommend Southern Travel.”

“Between the amazing amenities and friendliness, we felt completely pampered on our recent honeymoon at Sandals LaSource Grenada, planned by Mike at Southern Travel Agency. We couldn’t walk by anyone who worked there without them saying “hello,” and often engaging us in questions on how we liked the island. And the butler service was amazing — we just had to tell our butler what we wanted to do and when, and he made it happen. One afternoon we were surprised

“I’ve used Southern Travel Agency for a long time, and I’ve never had a bad vacation. They’re very efficient and good with complicated logistics. My whole family goes on group trips together, but often we’ll arrive at the destination separately at different times — trying to keep that straight myself is confusing. But the travel agents at Southern Travel Agency know what they’re doing, and if there’s ever a problem I have a number to call. They’re very enthusiastic, do

“I have used Southern Travel Agency to plan several trips for me and my family, including two that were very special. One was a family cruise for 13 people to the Caribbean, and the other was a honeymoon trip to Hawaii. Our travel consultant was Jane who did an outstanding job in planning both trips. Jane was very professional and arranged every detail including air transportation, rental car, hotels, cruise line and travel insurance. I highly recommend Southern Travel Agency

He organized a wonderful email to my list of guests and touched base with them about booking flights and deposits, and he kept them on track about money due dates.

He organized a wonderful email to my list of guests and touched base with them about booking flights and deposits, and he kept them on track about money due dates. Southern Travel Agency also had a relationship with the Beaches general manager, which helped us get “perks” like a room upgrade when there technically weren’t any available, and reserving the hibachi restaurant in advance. We also created travel welcome bags, and we wanted to hand deliver them at the resort. Mike got us a list of everyone’s flights and arrival times so we could greet them in the lobby. Between the Beaches wedding planner helping us with all the wedding details and Mike helping with all the travel arrangements, everything was covered.”

“”We just returned from a two-week honeymoon at the Sandals resorts in Barbados and Grenada, planned by Southern Travel Agency – it was all so beautiful! As a true beach lover, I really appreciated how the atmosphere and focus of direction at the Barbados resort revolved around the incredible beach. Almost every restaurant had a full beach view. Thank you to Mike for finding the right fit for us. He truly listened to what we are looking for before making

Thank you to Mike for finding the right fit for us. He truly listened to what we are looking for before making suggestions, and he set up beautiful packages for us. It was a very personal planning experience, and he helped make what we were wishing for a reality. Plus, he takes the stress out of planning; we never had to worry about timing or that things weren’t well organized. We’re already working with him on planning a family trip and another couples trip in the future!”

“We worked with Southern Travel Agency travel expert Jane, and she gave a lot of advice on what to do on our trip through France. She took care of all planning and paperwork for us, and she did a great job. When we told her that we wanted to spend extra time in Paris, it was not a problem. While we live in Augusta, we flew out of Atlanta, so we drove to airport. Coming back from Europe, we got

“We worked with Southern Travel Agency travel expert Jane, and she gave a lot of advice on what to do on our trip through France.

While we live in Augusta, we flew out of Atlanta, so we drove to airport. Coming back from Europe, we got in at 9 at night, so Jane booked us a hotel — and the hotel provided 14 days free parking, which meant we got to leave our car there the whole trip. It was excellent. We’ve used Southern Travel before, and we find the team there very personable, and they go out of their way to help you.”
