Stories From Every Destination

★★★★★
I was skeptical that a travel agent could actually save me money. I was wrong. Asriel got us daily breakfast for two, a suite upgrade, and $100 resort credit at the Hyatt Regency Turks & Caicos — none of which I could have gotten booking direct. Genuinely blown away.

Our Israel trip was a dream. Asriel found us a kosher hotel in Jerusalem, a kosher restaurant in Tel Aviv we never would have discovered, and arranged a private guide for Masada. He thought of everything — including things we didn't know to ask for.

I've booked cruises on my own for years. Booking through Asriel got me the same cabin price, plus onboard credit and a bottle of wine waiting in my room. Why did I wait so long to use a travel agent?

Asriel planned our entire Cancún trip in 48 hours when our original plans fell through. He found us an incredible suite at Moon Palace, coordinated airport transfers, and even sent a restaurant recommendation list. We felt completely taken care of the entire trip.

We brought four families together for a group trip to Aruba. Asriel handled room blocks, coordinated arrival times, and sorted out dining reservations for 16 people. I cannot imagine doing that logistics nightmare on my own. He made it look easy.

Our 10th anniversary trip to Maui was perfect in every way. Asriel upgraded us to an ocean suite at the Grand Wailea and had a private lu'au experience arranged for our actual anniversary night. The hotel even sent flowers to the room. I cried happy tears.

As someone who keeps strictly kosher, travel has always felt complicated. Asriel found us a kosher-certified cruise and helped us plan meals at every port stop. It was the first vacation where I never once stressed about food. That alone was worth everything.

Three kids under 10, the Bahamas, and Atlantis. Asriel booked us into the perfect building, got us early check-in so the kids could hit the waterslides by noon, and had activity recommendations ready for every age. The whole family is already asking when we're going back.

I didn't realize how much I didn't know about booking a honeymoon until Asriel walked me through it. He asked questions I hadn't thought to think about, then built us a trip to St. Lucia that was better than anything I could have dreamed up on my own. Jade Mountain is unreal.

Asriel recommended Jamaica's Sandals Royal Plantation for our anniversary — adults-only, boutique, butler service. We never would have found it on our own. It's now our favorite place in the world and we're already planning our return trip through him.

We went on a cruise for the first time and were nervous about every detail. Asriel explained everything, helped us pick the right cabin category, and checked in with us before, during, and after. Felt like having a travel expert in our pocket the whole trip.

The Hyatt Privé perks Asriel got us at the Park Hyatt Aviara were incredible — breakfast every morning, $150 spa credit, and a welcome amenity in the room. We've been talking about going back ever since. Booking through him is now non-negotiable for us.

My husband and I had no idea where to start planning our honeymoon. A friend referred us to Asriel and within a week we had three gorgeous proposals for Bora Bora. He handled every single detail — flights, overwater bungalow, a sunset cruise, the works. It was the most stress-free trip we've ever taken.

I've used big online booking sites for years and always thought a travel agent was unnecessary. Asriel completely changed my mind. He found us a Hyatt category we didn't know existed, got us breakfast included, and saved us more than the cost of any fee — which was zero anyway. Unbelievable value.

We wanted an Alaska cruise but had no clue which line, which ship, or which cabin to pick. Asriel broke it all down, matched us with the right itinerary for our budget, and had a shore excursion guide waiting for us at every port. Best vacation of our marriage — and we've been married 22 years.

Asriel planned a surprise anniversary trip to the Amalfi Coast for my wife and didn't breathe a word — coordinating with me in secret for three weeks. The hotel had rose petals, champagne, and a handwritten card waiting when we arrived. She still talks about it as the best trip of her life.

Our family of five has very different travel styles — I want adventure, my wife wants a spa, and the kids want a waterpark. Asriel found a resort in Punta Cana that somehow had all three. Everyone went home happy, which is basically a miracle. We're already planning next year's trip with him.
