Best travel advisor we have ever worked with!
By: Jessica926
Reviewed on: 01 Dec 2014
My husband and I enjoy traveling abroad and try to do at least one international trip per year. When we found out we were pregnant, we still wanted to try to get our international trip in, but were against the clock and had to find a destination that would be conducive to me being six months pregnant. Susan was absolutely a pleasure to work with! She was extremely attentive to all of our desires for the trip and put together an absolutely AMAZING trip in a short lead time. She found some very unique experiences in Spain and really tailored the trip perfectly to our interests. While on the trip, we didn't have to worry about a single thing. Susan had worked through every detail and we were able to just enjoy time together in an amazing country! We have worked with several travel advisors over the years and Susan is by far THE BEST! We cannot say enough amazing things about her and will definitely use her on all of our future trips! Thanks, Susan!

I recently traveled to Seattle where Susan helped to plan my stay in what was the perfect hotel. The hotel treated me well and provided all sorts of nice perks. Susan was also able to get me in to one of Seattle's hottest new restaurants, which I was not able to do on my own. So much fun to plan the trip with Susan and to have it work out so brilliantly! I definitely plan on working with Susan and Martha on my next adventure!!

Professional, Perfect, No Detail Missed
By: Thomas
Reviewed on: 06 Jan 2015
Martha King of King & Whitson Travel planned a trip for our family of six to New York City just before Christmas. I must admit that I was apprehensive. The task of keeping four children and two adults safe, happy and on schedule in the Big Apple was daunting. Martha created itinerary options for us and let us choose the schedule and events that we thought would work best. She provided first hand, detailed responses to our questions. A few days before we left, one of our children was reading a play for school which was showing at the Booth Theatre on Broadway and wanted very much to see it. Martha managed to accommodate. I read the play on the plane from Atlanta and a few hours later father and son were sitting twenty feet from the actors. It was magical for us both and marvelous to have a teenager connect school to Broadway! Professional, perfect, no detail missed. I highly recommend Martha King of King & Whitson Travel to anyone going anywhere.

Our group of 10 travelers could not have managed the complex schedule of differing arrival dates during the Christmas holiday season and the various required room configurations without Susan Whitson and her expert services offered through King and Whitson travel. She had to deal with several members of our group at differing times and she kept it all straight! We LOVED the complete itinerary that she sent us before we left to help keep us all organized. Our group also loved the tour guide she arranged for us to make the visit to the USS Arizona more meaningful especially for the children and young adults in our group. We also appreciated the amenities offered to us by our hotel as a result of booking with King and Whitson. Our group are all seasoned travelers BUT we all said that we now cannot imagine planning a big trip like this without using King and Whitson travel in the future. We HIGHLY recommend King and Whitson Travel!

Susan Whitson exceeded all of our expectations in planning our trip to Honolulu. She managed to upgrade all of our rooms, arranged for a complimentary breakfast every morning and a hotel credit for each room. Susan booked a private tour of Pearl Harbor for us that was over the top. Our guide was a Naval Academy graduate from Hawaii, what a treat! She supplied us with a typed itinerary of our daily activities including many of the dinner reservations that she had made for us and our flight information. We can't thank Susan enough for making our holiday so special.

Incomparable Customer Service

King and Whitson travel just helped us with the getaway of a lifetime at wonderful Blackberry Farm. Our travel agent made sure we were taken care of every step of the way from booking us a massage in their world class spa to making sure we were in an upgraded accommodation. Blackberry Farm customer service is in a league all of it's own. We had someone around every corner offering us something wonderful to eat, giving us a ride to dinner in an unbelievable luxury SUV and meeting our every need. The cottages were absolutely wonderful and the Blackberry CD's playing on our radio in our room helped create this wonderful, romantic and serene environment. It truly was the experience of a lifetime and I hope we get the opportunity to go again in a different season. I will say winter at the farm was wonderful with a warm fire waiting for us in our cottage every night....but I hear Spring, Summer and Fall are hard to beat.

Amazing Trip and Over the Top service from K&W
By: JohnR
Reviewed on: 21 Apr 2015
We actually had a very interesting start to our spring break trip to Mexico. We thought our departure date was two days after the actual departure date. Once we realized our error, we called K&W in a panic. They very calmly and confidently assured us not to panic. They would most likely be able to get everything back on track which they miraculously in a few hours. Martha planned an amazing vacation for us and our two boys. The Beloved Resort, outside Cancun, is an amazing place. I highly recommend using K&W for ALL your travel needs.

Martha King had the challenge to plan a family Spring Break trip for my husband and I, our two children and my parents. This may sound easy, as we knew we wanted a warm southern location, all inclusive on the beach, however it was a challenge because of our special request. My mom is in a wheelchair and we needed good handicap access and we wanted to insure we had the ability to get my mom in the water to enjoy all the fun. After working hours and hours trying to find just the right resort, Martha recommended The Moon Palace Resort in Cancun. My moms comfort and insuring she had everything she needed and could enjoy all the amenities was my primary concern. From the flight, to the transportation to the hotel that included a ramp, to all the accommodations at the hotel, Martha our agent made sure that everything was arranged and went perfectly. We had a perfect vacation. Thanks for taking care of every detail and the great service. You are the best!

Why YOU should use Martha with King & Whitson
By: Kelly5
Reviewed on: 10 Apr 2015
We just returned from 8 days in California spending time in both Anaheim, San Diego and Coronado. Martha gave excellent suggestions on hotels...we loved both The Grand Californian and The Del Coronado! Our tickets to Disneyland as well as Sea World, The Safari Park and the San Diego Zoo were all arranged in advance with both paper and digital copies being provided for everything. This was a real life saver when we arrived at Sea World and realized our voucher was at the hotel...I just pulled it up on my phone.....fantastic! Dining reservations were suggested and made by Martha in advance which meant no long waits and beautiful oceanside seating each morning for breakfast in Coronado. This is the first time in years we have used a travel agent but the experience was so great we are already planning to use Martha and King& Whitson for our Thanksgiving travel plans as well as next Spring Break! Thank you Martha!! We had a fantastic time.

Susan Whitson made the entire trip planning process simple and fun! We were able to make an informed decision with her guidance and incredible detailed proposals. We absolutely LOVED the Grand Velas resort. Our room, the restaurants, and the property were all incredible. I don’t think we have ever been that relaxed! She sent us several options for activities and the excursions were an excellent addition – we liked having the chance to see the Mayan ruins, walk around Xel-Ha’s incredible park and explore the ocean "jungles" on our very own speed boat. The tour companies were great to work with and Susan had taken care of everything, including transportation, so all we had to do was show up! I would highly recommend Grand Velas to anyone going on their honeymoon or looking for a relaxing vacation. Everything was perfect from start to finish and we could not have asked for a better vacation or experience in working with Susan. I will recommend King and Whitson Travel to everyone!

Martha King helped us plan a lovely trip to London & Paris! We would recommend the Taj Hotel at Buckingham Gate. The rooms were spacious, the staff was attentive, and the food was delicious.

Don't miss the Churchill War Rooms tour and the Victoria Albert Museum. In Paris, we enjoyed the Context Walking Tours. Our favorites were the wine tour with Preston, the Louvre Crash Course, and the Hemingway Walk. We liked the small group size of the walking tours ( 6-8 people) and met lots of new friends. We love to travel and this trip was exceptional because we got a personalized experience in each city. It was definitely the trip of a lifetime! Our thanks to King & Whitson!

The tour from planning to execution was as flawless as humanly possible. Susan and Martha have proved themselves to be pros in every way on this trip. They cared for each person uniquely, and cared for individual problems as they arose with great finesse and discernment. The Noteworthy Group also did an exceptional job on the England side and provided us with the BEST of tour guides. Sally Strange is steeped in the historical content of England; she is personable, fun, and kept us entranced with each leg of the journey. I was impressed that the Noteworthy execs met with Susan and Martha on an almost nightly basis to discuss how each day progressed; thus, they were able to file away potential changes for upcoming trips. I must say that not many changes needed to be made. The ONE change I would suggest is to eliminate the ferry ride down the Thames. It really did not prove to be that great, and we all could not sit together for Sally to talk with us about what we were seeing.

Susan Whitson can be proud of her influence in converting my 'meat and potatoes, tent camping/NASCAR' kind of guy into a five-star design/fine dining and lodging enthusiast.

Once I chose the Inn at Little Washington, she worked with the Inn and me to create a perfect weekend itinerary that was absolutely magical and unforgettable. ...and my husband would tell you that driving the Inn's Bently was completely worth every dollar. THANK YOU Brownell Travel - Birmingham for partnering with the dynamic duo of King & Whitson Travel and giving me the priceless anniversary gift of stress-free trip planning.

My husband and wanted to do something special to celebrate our 20th Anniversary so we called Martha for suggestions. She found a fabulous All-inclusive resort that was a perfect fit for us. I don't think I would have ever found the Zoetry Paradisio myself by searching online and I'm so glad I had Martha give us several great resort options from which to choose. We chose Zoetry because of their wellness focus and we liked the fact that all the meals were cooked to order and there were no buffets. The online reviews of the resort were excellent and the Zoetry turned out to live up to our expectations. We had a fabulous trip. I would highly recommend using King & Whitson Travel to do your vacation research for you and to book your trip.

They took care of everything for our recent trip to Hawaii. Every. Thing.

I never worried if we were going to have the experience we planned to have. They had it all taken care of. And we remarked while on our trip that while one tour provider appeared (at a distance) to be unlike what we expected, the actual experience and delivery of services exceeded our expectations. “If Susan says it’s who we should go with, we don’t need to worry about anything.” That’s been true every time.

There is not enough space here or words to describe the amazing service we received from this agency. They went above and beyond the call of duty to rescue us from a horrendous experience our group had with another agency and literally saved our trip. They provided everything we requested on our wish list. We wanted services priced
alacarte for a group of 8 travelers so that we could make informed choices. Not only did they provide this, but were an open book. We had rented a Tuscan villa through another agency. We wanted a couple of meals prepared by a chef at the villa. The villa mgmt would only use their own chef and wouldn't allow the chefs Martha/Susan had charged us for. Our initial agent who we rented the villa from did not line up the chefs, but Martha/Susan contacted the villa co. and went out of their way to see that the cooking services which we greatly wanted, were provided. They also gave us a full refund, though they did not receive any benefit for it.
