Testimonials

Hear from our clients about how Travel Design Loft advisors went above and beyond to make their vacations perfect!

“Travel Design Loft is more than just a travel agency. If you want someone to hand you a booklet and you choose how many golden apples you want, this is not the travel agency for you. If you want someone to research everything from flight layovers, accommodations to the best excursions to take then Lori is your agent.

We reached out to Lori in early 2019 to plan our summer vacation. We were looking for something out of the ordinary for our 20th anniversary. We told Lori what we were looking for and she started her research. She came up with 3 destinations that matched our criteria. She gave us a ton of information on each destination to help us choose. After we chose the destination she started looking for accommodations and excursions. Once she presented us with all of the information, we chose the condo (yep, that’s right she found us a condo) and the excursions we wanted to do. She then booked absolutely everything for us. She even researched what the best days are to do each excursion so they were not over crowded. To top it off one of the excursions emailed while we were on vacation that they would not be able to accommodate us with what we booked. Lori immediately rebooked us with another vendor. Lori is more like a personal concierge! The icing on the cake is all of this cost us about half the price of the golden apple vacation! We definitely recommend her to anyone that wants to travel to new exciting destinations!

We were so pleased with our summer vacation we just had her book our winter vacation as well.

We highly recommended Lori to all of our family and friends!”

“My first experience with Lori. Within a few weeks of telling her we wanted to see as much of Greece as possible within 12 days, she had two itineraries for us to choose from, and helped me select the one she felt was more encompassing. We visited Athens, the Peloponnese, the mainland for Olympia and Delphi, a day cruise to three islands, and two days on Paros and Antiparos islands. Seeing islands was a must for us, as well as visiting an olive farm. Two nights in Napheli was a surprise – a town we knew nothing about, but was a great place to walk streets and to visit with shop keepers.
 
Unlike other travel agents who book trips and then are hands off, Lori made sure we had her contact info, followed our flights and texted advice when it looked like one delayed flight might cause us to miss a connection on our way home. Actually, we did make the flight although our luggage did not. I’ve never had a travel agent follow me when on the trip to make sure all was going well.”

“I’ll start by saying I’m well traveled and usually book all travel myself, but decided to use a travel agent as I was planning a bachelorette getaway for eight people. Lori came highly recommended and she definitely delivered! She gave us options with different price points, and catered to everything we decided once we booked. Her personal relationships plus experience knowing the industry and property we went to was definitely a huge benefit for our group! Everything went so smoothly and we had such a great time. Highly recommend for any of your travel needs!”

“Lori helped us plan our honeymoon in Hawaii! It was a wonderful experience. She was very accommodating to our preferred excursions and gave us advice on how to go about certain parts of the trip. This was very helpful since we had never been to Hawaii and she could give us information that only someone who had been there before would know. Lori found ways to give us an experience that only locals of the area could normally find. We wanted to hop to 3 islands during the trip and she was able to coordinate our flights in a way that didn’t make us feel rushed or stressed. She also found us many activities to choose from to get the full Hawaiian experience including horseback riding, snorkeling on all 3 islands, and a breathtaking helicopter ride. We loved everything about our honeymoon thanks to Lori!”

“Lori set up a vacation in Puerto Vallarta for our extended family and gave us great examples of things to do off the resort. Her knowledge of the area and personal experiences is what sets her apart from any other travel agent. She definitely tailored our individual desires with her suggestions. She was attentive to all of us from beginning to end. Lori is the reason our family will have lifelong memories!!”

“Erica was a life saver when planning our Disney trip and was AMAZING to work with. She was so helpful in every way possible. If anyone has taken a Disney trip before you know how stressful it can be–Erica made it stress free and easy for us. She was organized and gave the best tips to use while we were down there. She even was on stand by for us when we were having issues with our meal plan. While we were in Florida she called and had it fixed in a jiffy. We have recommended her to so many friends and family because she truly is the best. She goes above and beyond and you can tell she loves helping others. She is so bubble and makes you so excited/happy to be around her. I will continue to use her!!”

“Lori at Travel Design Loft provided the best customer service I have ever enjoyed in the travel planning arena. She hooked us up on a luxury cruise line for one of the best travel experiences of our lives. She expertly navigated all of the difficulties of re-booking when, through no fault of her own, the cruise line canceled our initial voyage. We ended up with even more than we bargained for-in a good way! The cruise line gave us generous benefits and compensated us more than we could have imagined. Lori set us up, handling all of the details. We recently completed one of our journeys and it was pure luxurious perfection. The best dining I’ve ever experienced anywhere. Exemplary service. Everything top-notch! I’ll let the cat out of the bag. It was Virgin Voyages. Thank you Lori. Thank you Travel Design Loft. It was a perfect fit! We can’t wait for our next cruise on this line.”
