Dino Triantafillou, Managing Director — Italian Journeys

Erica Harnett is fantastic! She planned multiple trips for us with each one better than the one before. She listens to what we want and then anticipates the needs we didn’t realize were important. Extra personal touches were provided at every step. We have recommended her to friends who love her too.

Janet — Thornwood, NY

We put everything into Janice Chieffo’s hands, which wasn't easy for me. It was so nice to have every detail taken care of, from the moment we got off the plane to the time we went home. She arranged day trips, gave us enough free time, recommendations for restaurants, and every aspect of the trip went off without a hitch. Her connections in Spain made it very easy for us to get the best out of our trip.

Joey — Anaheim Hills, CA

We started planning our trip of a lifetime with Lori Rogers in August 2018 and the dream trip came true in May 2019. 19 days covering Santorini, Greece; Naples, Positano, Capri, Rome, Florence and Venice, Italy; Nice, France ; and Monaco. Planning our first trip for our 30 year anniversary was not easy but Lori did a phenomenal job of giving us so many options and so many things we would not have thought of. We stayed at 4+ star hotels, flew business class, had private car services and more..... Lori took care of everything. She had an open mind when we didn't agree on certain things but then if we were making a bad decision she wasn't shy to tell me. We loved working with Lori and will not only recommend our friends and family but will plan our next big trip with her!!

When I approached Paul Bachant for assistance in planning my trip to India, I knew where I wanted to travel and he helped me fill in the details. From the daily itineraries to selecting hotels and coordinating travel, Paul's experience and knowledge made the planning process stress- free. The result was a customized travel experience to remember. Paul's thoughtful approach and attention to detail were invaluable throughout the process and I would highly recommend him to anyone planning their next travel adventure.

Matt Thompson — New York, NY

Roberta Long-Kelleher is a true professional! She has helped us plan multiple trips to both domestic and international locations . Roberta has great suggestions and often has first-hand experience with many of the destinations. She listens to our requests and is able to provide several choices whenever choices are available. With regard to traveling, my husband said it best "In Roberta We Trust"!

Gina — Grasonville, Maryland

I have relied on Shelley’s advice for years and have benefited from the astonishing range of travel experiences she has had her self and she has arranged for others. Shelly has arranged multiple trips for me, both domestic and international (the review form doesn’t let me list them all). She is truly exceptional on every dimension. She is incredibly thorough, detail oriented, knowledgeable about a wider range of destinations than I will ever travel to, and also a complete pleasure to work with. She has amazing taste. I will always work with Shelly Bunge.

Chris — Los Angeles, CA

I want to thank you for arranging our wonderful European trip to Florence, Sienna, Athens and Santorini. This was the best trip we have ever had. I don't have enough words to say thank you to Aanchal Gandhi at Protravel for arranging our unforgettable vacation. Some highlights were the arrangement of the chauffeured private car from Florence to Siena which was seamless and luxurious. Our bucket list on this trip was to see the Palio races. Your expert advice and ability to get VIP tickets for us showcased your ability to get access to exclusive events. Your hotel recommendations on this trip were on point in regards to location, rooms with a view and 5-Star service. We will always cherish the Tuscan sunsets, great vino and delicious food thanks to you. Your thoughtful and detail planning made our trip memorable. We are looking forward to working with you for our next adventure.

Shri — San Diego,CA

Sari Gartner is truly a professional. From the initial planning of the trip to the pick up at the airport, she is with you. One of the first trips we planned with Sari--there have been many--my companion and I were going to Asia and needed visas, vaccinations etc and was completely on top of it. She helped with our visa process etc. She has a comprehensive knowledge of destinations, cruise lines, restaurants and hotels to meet the expectations of her clients. Sari seems to "love" the world and thus wants to help people travel and become more knowledgeable about people in other cultures. Thanks Sari! We can't wait for our next adventure!

Woodsie — Ft. Collins, CO

Working with David Duran was fantastic! He paid attention to details I gave him and found tours in Portugal that worked for our family. He also made sure the tour companies had our information and we had theirs before leaving. Communication was easy and timely while planning, and he followed up afterwards. He helped make our trip very smooth and enjoyable!
