Birgit planned another wonderful trip for us to S. Africa through Tauck Tours. This trip was a little more "adventuresome" than others we had taken through Birgit and required some meticulous planning of airplane connections and other details. All went beautifully, and we enjoyed a trip of a lifetime! We trust Birgit to take care of us and steer us in the right directions when planning a trip, and she's always come through. We would - and have - recommend her to family and friends.

Very enjoyable, met expectations but not perfect
By: M/M LS
Reviewed on: 14 Aug 2015
Bath/Cotswold trip was very enjoyable and met our expectations. Suggestions for improvement: 1) No alert was provided on how bad traffic is in the UK. We found one should allocate TWICE the travel time suggested by Google Maps. 2) Excellent Bath guide asked us to pay 16 pounds for admission to the Jane Austen Museum. We did so and only after we got back to our room did we realize we should have told him it was included in the tour cost. He obviously was unaware. 3) Our very competent driver/guide for the Cotswolds showed up with a Volkswagen Passat, saying there was a problem with the normal Mercedes Series E vehicle. While we didn’t complain, we thought it unjustified to be paying for a Mercedes but having to spend the day in a Volkswagen. 4) Going through “Sincerely Paul” is very costly. For a “non-exotic” place like the UK, McCabe should be able to access the types of guides and drivers we had directly, not through a high mark-up middleman like “Sincerely Paul.”

Best Travel Agent Ever

Birgit is totally professional, proactive and customer centered.
We were referred to Birgit through friends we were traveling with, to help coordinate our travel plans. What a find!
While we knew what we wanted to book, Birgit was exceptional in advance planning, communications and as you'll see, troubleshooting.
We had a travel interruption that really put her to the test. A snowstorm canceled our initial flight which caused us to miss the ship on a Southeast Asia cruise.
Because we had arranged our airline reservations directly, she could not rebook us, but if she could, she would have saved us hours of aggravation. Birgit stayed late in her office to help us determine alternative travel plans (while the airline customer service reps were NOT helpful). On the cruise side, she negotiated our ability to meet the ship at the next landfall, made sure that we had all of the information we needed to coordinate our arrival and kept in constant email communication. Well Done Birgit!

Birgit was outstanding in her services for selection of a hotel and guide for our Rome visit. Her recommendations proved to spot on for the hotel as it was a prefect location for our planned itinerary as well as very comfortable and the staff were very helpful and hospitable. The Guide for the Vatican tour was excellent.

Birgit has planned many trips for my wife and me, including this summer a trip to Alaska, a weekend trip to Philadelphia, and a birthday trip to Vermont. Regardless of the length or complexity associated with the trip, Birgit always works the details to ensure that we have a wonderful and care-free time.

Birgit is wonderful to work with. She makes everything so easy to plan all the moving parts for a complicated trip, multiple hotels, airlines, private guides, drivers and cruise ship! She always has good recommendations and also makes good suggestions about how to best accomplish what you would like to do and see. Things always go smoothly. We have used her many times and have sent many referrals to her who she has also booked trips for.

She is the best! Makes great recommendations and takes care of all the planning details. We had a dozen people traveling and she managed to get us a group table on New Years Eve in a very popular and busy resturant. She has booked many trips for us in the past and has already booked a few trips for us in the future.

Our trip to the Antarctic, with pre-Antarctic days in Buenos Aires and post-Antarctic days in Mendoza, Argentina and Santiago, Chile was perfect. Birgit has done so many trips for us, that she knows exactly what we will enjoy. From choosing the perfect cabin on the Explorer to finding a charming boutique hotel in Mendoza and booking the wonderful Ritz Carlton in Santiago, all was just right for us.
