Look no further than Personal Escape Travel...

Personal Escape Travel has been our travel agent for 30+ years (and growing!) They've confidently piloted our family through trips to Switzerland, Sweden, Bahamas, Italy, India, Hawaii, England, Mexico, even the Amazon Rain Forests.

We all know what happened in 2020. Fortunately for us, Susan was on the case from the jump with updates, emails, phone calls & text messages. Not a day went by when she did not at least send a comforting message about what to expect and how it would happen. We count on her for the right travel details every time, the right trip insurance among them. We got a full refund of our trip in 2020 within 30 days, just as Susan promised, amidst frightening stories in the news daily about thousands of travelers who would likely never see a return of their money from online travel sites who relied on small print legalese to allow them to wiggle out of refunds.

So..... Personal Escape Travel was with us through all the good times and, thankfully, helped steer us through the uncertain waters that came upon us all in early 2020. We re-scheduled our 2020 Hawaii journey for 2021 when Susan's team told her it was ok and, of course, she and her agents took care of every. Single. Detail. Our 12 day trip to Hawaii went without a hitch in April '21 in no small part because of Personal Escape Travel. We're in the midst of planning our family trip for 2022 now, as well.

We've got our travel agent for life. Do YOU?
