What Clients Say
It was great working with Alicia to plan my trip to Seattle. I wanted to find the best way to experience the city and the countryside. Alicia was able to help my find the perfect place to stay so that I could walk to interesting places and enjoy the local food. She was very helpful in suggesting the best tours and finding availability. We decided on a tour of the Olympic National Park and I was completely satisfied. I was able to enjoy all of the mountain views, a mountain lake, a forest waterfall and see the green old growth forest for the first time. I was very satisfied with my trip and we are already in the process of planning the next.
I rediscovered my love for Austin travel agents – I have never had as great of a service experience as with Alicia Saba…Alicia did not only point out some of the most beautiful and hidden places in New Zealand and adjusted [and re-adjusted] all travel plans to time and budget, but was also the most patient, understanding and accommodating service professional I have ever experienced.
With Alicia’s thoughtful help and guidance, my husband and I had the most spectacular trip to NZ and Australia. We spent the majority of the trip on NZ’s magical South Island–and are now passionate about encouraging others to feel the benefit of Alicia’s knowledge, attention to detail and willingness to tweak plans until they are a perfect for you.
Alicia is FANTASTIC! She planned our entire honeymoon from start to finish. She was organized and very quick to respond. She gave us all the information we needed for traveling and some good tips and tricks.
