Total Advantage Travel & Tours stands out because of their impressive track record. They’ve arranged thousands of tours, all-inclusive vacations, and personalized travel experiences. 

Plus, they offer fantastic flight deals, top-rated resorts, cruises, rail tours, family vacations, destination weddings, and a wide range of other exciting adventures. Given their range, we’re confident that clients can really amp up their trips by booking all sorts of tours and activities through Total Advantage Travel.

One of the services that got our attention was their rail tours, mainly because it’s not your typical travel agency offering. What we love about it is that you get to cruise through the Canadian wilderness, soaking in those countryside views, all while lounging in your spacious seat—great for those who don’t want to fly.

We’ve got a small concern though—they’ve got a relatively small team, which could affect the number of clients they can take, especially during peak seasons. So, planning and securing a spot months ahead may be necessary.

Other than that, we can’t deny their expertise and skills in whipping up itineraries that can accommodate clients accordingly. We’ve heard multiple cases wherein clients would call last minute or request trips at short notice, but luckily, Total Advantage managed to pull it off.

Founded in 1967, Sarracini Travel offers travel services such as flights,  cars, hotels, custom itineraries, tours and excursions, villa rentals, corporate and group trips, travel insurance and vacation packages.

From what we’ve observed, they have impeccable coordination skills in handling group and corporate trips, particularly in their wedding destination services. From their airport transfers to the personalized guided tours and restaurant reservations, we love how every detail is flawlessly executed.

And when it comes to their tours, we’re impressed by the wide range they offer—everything from fully escorted to small group tours, city breaks, and daily sightseeing excursions. This variety lets you customize your itinerary in a way that works best for you.

Though, it’s quite disappointing that they only specialize in destinations like Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Greece, Croatia, Switzerland, and England. You’ll probably have to double-check if they have experience with your chosen destination to avoid any hiccups.

Just a heads up—their packages don’t include travel insurance, and they offer it separately. But, they’ve got connections with various travel insurance companies, so you’ll have plenty of options for flexible coverage.

On the brighter side, we think it’s a major plus for their clients that they’ve got solid connections and partnerships with other companies. It opens up many options, from travel package supplies to tour providers and beyond, which is especially handy for those on a budget.

Now, let’s talk about Marlin Travel. From what we’ve gathered, they’ve got you covered with flights, hotels, car rentals, cruises, and vacation packages.

We also think it’s neat that besides their packages, they offer deals and discounts for selected trips. To give you an idea, you can enjoy European cities like Barcelona, Rome, Dublin, and more and get $200 off per couple—quite a steal.

However, we did find their vacation package selection a bit limited compared to other agencies. If you have certain destinations in mind, you’ll most likely have to start from scratch and opt for a custom itinerary rather than a pre-planned one, which may cost you more.

On a positive note, clients have applauded Marlin Travel for their thorough and informative plans and services. For instance, their travel agents act as insiders and give clients tips to make things easier for them, like sharing how to get to a trusted and affordable money exchange place in a different country.

Also, we think it’s convenient that Marlin Travel is quick to respond and address concerns over the phone. It gives clients peace of mind.

Lastly, we have to give them props for being pros at handling and organizing group travels, especially for those looking for trips and tours that can accommodate odd-numbered groups.

A standout about St. Clair Travels is that they’re experts at providing perfect tour packages for solo adventurers. For example, their Liberty Travel packages cater to solo travellers by providing personalized plans that include unique activities, cruise accommodations, and more.

We also got to hand it to their travel agents for excelling in creating and explaining personalized itineraries. We’ve even noted good feedback about their friendliness and dedication—some even stay late to perfect recommendations and offers.

On the other hand, there have been reports of slower response times, particularly for new clients or those exploring various travel agencies. If you’re considering their services, consider reaching out early, especially before peak hours.

Just a heads up, they’re closed on weekends, so schedule your consultation accordingly, especially if weekdays are hectic for you.

As for their prices, clients we surveyed shared that they’re pretty content with what they paid considering the awesome trips they got. We noticed that most of their flight deals are quite affordable.

Finally, we’re also thrilled about their knack for beach getaways. St. Clair Travels has some awesome deals for Caribbean tours, and their summer destinations range from Cuba and the Dominican Republic to Panama and Paraguay.

Since its establishment in 1995, Lovely Travel & Tours International Inc. has been specializing in tours, customized packages, air tickets, hotels, cruises, car rentals, travel insurance, group and corporate travel, destination weddings, and more.

One of the things we love most about them is their user-friendly website, making it easy to navigate their services and input the necessary information to give you a brief peek of potential itineraries.  Plus, they have a well-experienced staff with the latest technology to serve clients.

Furthermore, we found that Lovely Travel & Tours International’s staff are willing to accommodate clients with last-minute requests and trips. For instance, there have been many instances where groups or families booked last-minute trips without having to break the bank.

On the flip side, we consider their service fees slightly higher than other travel agencies on this list. Some clients have also shared with us that there have been times when they were charged a little more than initially discussed.

We’re also a bit bummed out by the fact that they offer limited packages and destinations. So if you’ve got your heart set on specific places, you might have to go for custom trips instead.

Still, we believe that Lovely Travel & Tours International is a top travel agency, considering they have gained loyal clients who continue to rely on them for over ten years—that says a lot about their quality and efficient service.
