Phyllis Andersen made this a trip of a lifetime! Everything was so carefully planned that all we had to do was sit back and enjoy ourselves. Due to the fine details Phyllis attended to, like ship transfers, personal details of airport layouts, and, exclusive day tours, we felt relaxed as we traveled. We were thrilled with our Virtuoso tour in Turkey which Phyllis set up. There we were treated like royalty. Phyllis Andersen made our trip special by listening to our wants and needs. She's great and we will surely ask for her again in the future. Thank you!

Regent Cruise wonderful terrible pre-cruise
By: Miacat
Reviewed on: 01 Apr 2015
We have used Regent as a cruise provider several times and have been very pleased. We recently took a cruise called Royal Temples & Glimmering Towers. We enjoyed each of the ports for very different reasons. The biggest surprise was the stop in Busan South Korea with a great tour and tour guide. The guide discussed daily life in her city and wonderfully explained each of the stops. It made us want to return to South Korea and see Seoul. The three days in Tokyo was terrible from the arrival at the airport to the three days of touring. There were about 350 or more guests on this part of the trip. The most of the tour guides spoke little English and added very little explanation to what we were seeing. We saw nothing of Tokyo but mostly shrines, temples and items outside the city. It would have been better for us to have planned a tour of Tokyo, on our own but we did not know what was planned for the three days. We stayed at an Intercontinental in Tokyo great but overbooked hotel.

The Andersons are so wonderful to have as travel planners. I do not know much about where to go or what to do and they always take care of us. My whole family is hard to wrangle so it really helps to have one person coordinating everything. I highly recommend them to anyone. Just go to them with an idea and they have such extensive knowledge of the world that they will find the perfect vacation for you.

Amtrak Nat'l Parks & Salt Lake City
By: Bob&Rita
Reviewed on: 26 Jul 2015
Generally it was very good. We found out that it was only the 2nd time that this tour was run and it showed. There was a lot of last minute changing of plans. It was mostly on relatively small things like what time to meet up and where, but there was also a change in the lodge we stayed in at Yellowstone which led to a couple of extra hours on the bus instead of touring. The tour leader was not consistently communicative with the same information to everybody, but she had a lot to deal with considering all the minor changes she had to deal with. She also, on her own, was able to get tickets for everybody to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in concert. Another unscheduled but appreciated treat. They provided a large, new bus with extra room for everybody and the folks on the tour was the nicest group of people of all the tours we've ever taken. With time, this tour will only get better.

Super Cruise on the Danube
By: Bullet 1
Reviewed on: 28 Aug 2015
The entire trip was fabulous! Air travel to and from went smoothly and transfers well organized and uneventful. The Hilton Old Town in Prague was nice and our excursions in Prague were fun and informative. We hit the weather just right. It was 95deg plus in central Europe before and after our cruise. Weather on cruise was in the 70s, and mostly sunny. The AMA Serena is a beautiful brand new ship and, thanks to Phyl, we had one of the four suites, which were spacious and well equipped. All the excursions along the Danube were delightful. The ship treated us to a river night light viewing cruise on the Danube at Budapest. The city is spectacular at night. The trip home from Heathrow to Austin, TX was great. We were in a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and it is a fantastic airplane. The Environmental Control System is state of the art. The cabin is pressurized to 6000 ft and the system uses outside air which is also moisturized. We arrived refreshed! Thanks Blackhawk!!

My husband and I were planning a trip to Italy and figured we were young, we can figure everything out for ourselves. But as the days were counting down, we both realized we didn't have the time to do it ourselves. My parents had used Phyl previously and she did a great job; so I reached out to her for help with our trip to Italy. Thank God we contacted her! Phyl was amazing! She has the best customer service and knows her stuff. We will be using Phyl again for our trip next year and look forward to working with her again. Phyl took care of everything for us; the care package sent prior to our departure was perfect and a fabulous Thank You card was waiting for us in the mail when we got home. Thank you Phyl and see you on the next trip, hopefully very soon!

Good Vacation for 67% of our Immediate Family
By: Colonel
Reviewed on: 04 Jan 2016
Nasty Wx in Michigan prevented our son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren from leaving Michigan. They were scheduled to leave MI on Tuesday December 29; however, a closed airport prevented American Airlines from getting them out of Grand Rapids until Friday January 1: their return flights we scheduled for January 2. Certainly not Blackhawk's fault, but did put a damper on the vacation. David tried to intervene but was unsuccessful. Hopefully, with Blackhawk assistance, we will be able to come to some sort of amiable agreement with Travelex JWH

Perfection at Every Detail
By: RMA16
Reviewed on: 05 Dec 2016
I cannot stop recommending Phyl to my friends and family who require travel arrangements- any task I hand to her is handled quickly and perfectly, often leaving me with the best experience! She's helped me travel all over the world, and each time I step into a hotel I am treated like a celebrity just because of the painstaking details she places on each of our reservations. Phyl often stops at nothing to make sure I'm happy and in budget with all of my travel needs, understands my quirks, and never fails to amaze. My friends and family are often in awe of the service we receive when we travel and even they see the difference it makes when going through a Virtuoso agent. I am a customer for life and after traveling with friends some of them are, too! There's simply no better person to help one in their quest to see the world- from a quick weekend jaunt to Palm Beach to a grand trip across Italy and Southeast Asia, she's done it all for me.

Four times around the globe to over 89 countries, I have never dealt with such a well versed, experienced cruise agent as Phyl Andersen. What a joy she is to work with, and how knowledgeable she is. Once she has your MO and preferences down, you have no worries about the cruise, the ship, or the trip she puts together. I am not the easiest to please, as I have been on every top cruise line, except two, over 32 different ships and still going for more. I know what I speak, as I have had 5 major sized successful restaurants with over 660 employees at one time, and know what service, promptness, and accuracy is. Boy does this gal Phyl have it! If she ever retires...I am on the Beach !

Phyl has been my travel advisor for the past five years. She first helped me and my family plan a trip to Scotland and London five years ago and we've counted on her (and her husband Phil) ever since to help us with several other trips. Most recently I was in London again and asked Phyl to help me book another hotel. I was traveling by myself and wanted to stay in another part of London in a different type of hotel than we'd stayed in before (although I loved that one I just wanted to try something different). Phyl and I narrowed it down to two choices and then she reached out to her London contacts for advice on which was best for my needs. I chose The Egerton House Hotel which I absolutely loved! After dealing with me for five years Phyl knows what I do and don't like and I appreciate her advice. She also encourages me to try new things too that I might not otherwise do like a fly fishing excursion at the Four Seasons Jackson Hole which was a blast!

In my 64 years of traveling, 4 times around the globe to over 86 countries, and 33 different ships, II think Phyl Andersen is one of the finest and most knowledgeable agent I have ever come across. She is a delight to work with and has cruising in her blood. She is very positive, always has alternative suggestions if she has to answer “No”. The industry needs more of her kind, and her husband is very helpful as well. It’s a really nice team, getting two for the price of one.
