Testimonials

★★★★★

"Top notch service in all aspects, beginning with an initial informational call and ending with a debrief after the trip. Gabriella handled all components of a detailed five city trip for a family of six through the Netherlands, Germany and Austria with added complexities resulting from tight time turnarounds due to soccer match times. She listened to our “needs” and “preferences” and matched everything perfectly. We had one hiccup (two forgotten passports in one city), and Gabriella resolved it within an hour, with our passports overnighted to our next hotel. We have recommended The Connect Travel to all of our friends."

"For our London spring break family trip, The Connect Travel was excellent - 5 stars! This trip was my first time working with The Connect Travel, and I’ll definitely use them again. Gabbie was very helpful and easy to communicate with to plan our itinerary. My wife’s feedback probably says it all about our positive experience with The Connect Travel: 'This was the first family trip I can remember where I feel like I truly had a vacation and could relax.'"

"We worked with Gabriella on a family trip for four to England and France. As a family with 2 working parents and young kids, it was such a relief to be able to rely on the Connect Travel to propose detailed itineraries, do the bookings, think through the logistics and suggest activities for us to do at each of our stops. We were happy with the accommodations in each of the 3 locations we stayed. Gabriella was also super responsive when we had a cancelled train or lost luggage and did the legwork while we were traveling to solve these issues. I would definitely recommend."

"We just came back from a family trip to France and I cannot recommend Gabriella and The Connect enough! Not only were the planning, recommendations, and communication great, but our trip was originally planned for the spring and had to be rescheduled for later in the year and Gabriella took care of everything and made rescheduling as smooth as could be. We will definitely be using The Connect again and highly recommend you do too!"
