Client Testimonials

Our clients' feedback is invaluable. It's not merely appreciated—it's essential to our commitment to excellence. Here's what some of our valued clients have shared about their experiences with ARTA Travel.

When thing don’t go smoothly...

Often when we evaluate a business person’s ability, it’s not what they do when things are running smoothly, it’s how they handle adversity! You are a real professional in that you don’t get rattled, lose your composure, or lash out at the people who have dropped the ball. The group respected how you handled yourself.

It is a pleasure traveling with you! Thanks for a wonderful trip!

Successful Customer Reward Program...

As the Marketing Manager for a $1.8 billion construction materials organization, my time and my customers time are a precious commodity. Beginning Q1 of 2012, I began working with both Amy and Alese on our corporate Customer Reward Programs due to a complete failure in performance from our internal travel group. In our industry, incentives play a major role in manufacturer specification selection. Simple rewards, when done correctly, can “flip” projects in our favor with windfalls of between $50,000 and $1MM.

Alese has played a major role in ensuring that (10) ten of my top customers from across the U.S. had a vacation experience they will not soon forget. She handled everything from start to finish with professionalism and class. Her attention to detail has been phenomenal. I have received several calls from those same customers who have expressed their sincere appreciation for a wonderful trip, and the work Alese performed throughout the process. The all commented on her attention to detail and responsiveness to their needs. In fact, several have asked if she was available to assist them with their personal travel arrangements. For me personally, Alese provided peace of mind. Once she was provided the list of winners, I never once had to worry about the needs of my customers’ needs being met with the highest level of service. I will definitely use ARTA (Alese and Amy) for all future event planning and trip management. Both are tremendous assets to your organization.

Smooth corporate travel...

I want to thank you again for the ABSOLUTELY SUPERB job you and ARTA Travel did for us in getting us to Normandy France this past month. You fought through the March storm delays like no one else could have. Because of you, we had a very successful trip. We made the cover story of Army Magazine and our pro-bono leadership program is getting a lot of recognition. Again thank you!

— Sandy C., Leadership Consulting Firm

My job is easier...

Shout Out to Ann Dennis at ARTA Travel who extends a “Red Carpet” approach to Customer Service!

I manage all the travel for a local ISD, and Ann is the official Travel Agent assigned to our school district. We have come to rely on her attention to detail and her 1000% commitment to ensuring our school district employees and students are taken care of. My job is made easier each day knowing I have Ann on my TEAM!

You make us look good...

I just sent Dr Perry a quick text letting her know that it will be resolved within the next few flights and once again you have come through with an answer or solution quicker than planed! Your responsiveness and attention to detail are just always on point!

Obviously Steve always does a fantastic job for us and has set the bar pretty high for our expectations…and although it’s rare for him to be out…every time he has been away, we don’t seem to miss a beat with you!

Your tenacity and follow through on this today has allowed us to give the best possible outcome to our customer, Dr Perry…who will be happier about traveling for us every week…so she will be less stressed and likely do even better work each week in Modesto…for our client…who waited about 2 months for Dr Perry to start seeing patients back in December…and who is funding all of this.

You’re always quick to say, “No Problem” or “Happy to help” anytime I’ve needed your assistance, I just wanted to let you see how you are making an impact well beyond the our business relationship. You’re making our firm look good to both our traveling candidates and those respective clients as well

— Kevin K.

We LOVED the place...

I just wanted to let you know how much Linda and I enjoyed our trip and how much we appreciated your planning expertise. The hotel selection in Paris was fantastic…we LOVED the place! We also loved Uniworld…the trip was delightful, ship was first rate with exceptional service. Thank you so much for your help in making it all happen.

Dwayne “stitched it all together for us”...

Dwayne King recently did an excellent job of help us with a 10 day itinerary trip to Italy. We had already booked portions of our trip using award miles for air, and booked Air B&B for a house with other couples outside of Florence, and 4 days at a cooking school outside Arezzo. My challenge was in the last part of the trip to the Amalfi Coast. Dwayne stepped in, found an excellent hotel in Sorrento (Ambascatori) with a rooftop terrace and breathtaking views of the Bay of Capri and the sunset each night. He also found an excellent small boat tour from Sorrento to Capri for us. But perhaps the most amazing part was the hotel he found – in the face of many hotels being booked – the Covo de Saraceni in Positano. Perfect location (right on the beach) with a small terrace overlooking the beach/ocean and the entire town of Positano. Truly a magical place. Then Dwayne “stitched it all together for us” with car services and train tickets to get us where we needed to be. He is a truly accomplished professional and someone we will absolutely look to in the future, and, even more importantly, refer anyone we know with plans to travel to Italy. Thank you for introducing us and for building such a great team at ARTA.

Concerned that the details of our trip could be a daunting...

We needed assistance with the mechanics of converting our AmEx points; flights to and from Spain; flights between several cities within Spain and even into and out of Portugal; not to mention acquiring hotels in several of those cities. We were concerned that this could be a daunting list for anyone to precisely complete. From the moment we were connected with our travel advisor, we knew we were in competent hands. First, her professionalism was immediately evident. She was very pleasant and very knowledgeable on all the different facets of our needs. Secondly, she was very precise and provided exceptional guidance during our planning process. When we realized that we needed changes to our itinerary, there was no hesitation, she quickly corrected our schedule. She did a lot of work, efficiently and with the highest level of professionalism. We were so impressed that we had to write this correspondence to specifically acknowledge our appreciation of her work. Her work was beyond the norm, it was exceptional. She is an exemplary representative of your company and we wanted not only to formally thank her, but to also acknowledge her work to you.

— Juan and Jimmie S.

Please don’t ever lose your excellence...

Steve, I just want to take a moment to recognize Brandon. This is LONG overdue for all of the many ways he consistently goes above and beyond for myself and our organization. I cannot count the times or even begin to list all the examples where Brandon has gone above the call of duty and I want to personally thank him for his work yesterday in diving in and helping with a reoccurring issue we’ve been having with our Hertz account. For what seems like months now, doctor after doctor have arrived to get their Hertz rental cars some having no issues and others being told “no corporate account found we need your credit card” this is a huge red flag and not the standard of service we want our traveling staff to encounter. Each time Brandon has immediately stepped up reached out the following morning and got this corrected, recently when booking Hertz Brandon has begun to check upfront prior to pick up to verify that everything is okay with the reservations and even after being told yes we still ran into this issue again. Brandon in true fashion jumped in determined to find a solution and spent a good part of his day yesterday working on our account with Hertz customer service and it was finally determined that on their side somehow a digit had been removed causing our direct bill information to not link properly on all of these reservations in turn causing these billing issues.

A lifetime of memories...

It was the trip of a lifetime. From every tour, tour guide, every transfer, every hotel, airplane seats, and everything in between, it was the perfect family vacation in every way! We give YOU total credit for making a lifetime of memories! Seeing our name on a sign in peoples’ hands every time it was time to transfer, it’s such a wonderful sight! Another wonderful sight is the good ole USA. We love our time away but always love coming home! THANK YOU for Everything, and I can’t wait to plan the next one!

This was my dream vacation…

First of all let me say our trip to Italy was absolutely wonderful! You did an outstanding job with all the planning and preparation. The hotel choices were perfect. They were all very nice, the breakfasts were delicious and the extra touch with the fruit baskets, appetizers and Spumante made it extra special.

All of our tours were just outstanding. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and covered all the highlights.

All of the transportation by car, boat and sea ran just like clockwork and it was reassuring to know we didn’t have to stress over how to get from one city to another. There were a few glitches with 3 of our flights but that couldn’t be helped and that’s just part of flying. Our flight to Philadelphia was delayed about an hour, there was a medical emergency on the flight to Venice and we were diverted to Ireland for an extra 3 hours and then our flight home was canceled due to flooding in Houston and we had to stay another night in Rome. But if you have to be stuck somewhere Rome is not a bad place to be. Ha!

This was truly my dream vacation as I have wanted to go to Italy for years. Thank you for putting together an amazing trip for us! It certainly was the trip of a lifetime.

As awesome as it was it wasn’t a relaxing trip. We walked 16,000-18,000 steps a day and we are ready for some R and R.

— Phyllis S.

The hotel you suggested was perfect…

Just wanted to let you know we all made it back from Rome and it was a great trip. The hotel you suggested was perfect – great location and the staff was incredibly nice. Room was lovely – quite large given what I am use to seeing in Europe. Our favorite tour guide was Francisco who did the Vatican day. He was so knowledgeable, made everything so interesting. I highly recommend the Scavi tour – blew our minds! Thanks for all of your help. I can’t imagine what you could have done if we gave you more time!

My 11 other friends and I had the most amazing time!

I just returned home from my vacation in Mexico where I used ARTA Travel.

My 11 other friends and I had the most amazing time! The resort was perfect: the food and drinks were great; the service was fast; the staff was helpful and friendly, and so much more.

JoAnn could not have been a better travel agent for us! Dealing with 12 college seniors is not easy, and we could not have had the vacation we did without her. From flights to communication to checking in on us, she truly made the vacation stress free and so enjoyable. She was always taking care of us from the time we booked last Fall, to making sure we were safe when we landed.

If we decide to book another vacation, we will definitely use ARTA Travel as well as recommend JoAnn and you all to friends and family.
