I have read great reviews about Travel Tom here and figure I will give it a shot. I contacted him and loved his attitude He was very polite, accomodating...over all ...very nice. I was a little dissapointed (and worry) that he is not located in NY but in Washington DC. but I figure I will overlook that fact since he has great reviews. Why not? It is worth a shot So, I contacted him after doing tons of research online. My FH and I are very savy when it comes down to booking vacations, so we did plenty of research before we contacted him. Unfortunately, every time we gave him the go ahead to give us a quote on a honeymoon destination, his quote surpassed expedia and other sites quotes by more than a thousand dollars I do understand that he will honor any price given by a reputable online traveling site, but I was in shock that he could not come up with that price by himself after I read so many great things about him. The last chat I had with him was on Saturday. After I told him what Expedia quoted me on ...he was like...that is not possible and I was like...yes!!! I am on the site right now. I will e-mail you the quote Then he was like....well my vendors are not available right now, but I will get back to you on Monday.
Don't get me wrong, I am pretty sure he did great for some of you, but I can't help to feel dissapointed. This was the 3rd time this happened in as many weeks. FH was very dissapointed

So far, we've had a great experience with Travel Tom... we are going to Hawaii, and that seems to be a location he knows everything about. He's been very helpful and I hope he continues to be. My fingers are crossed, but I do feel confident that he will help us have an amazing honeymoon.

Re: Travel Tom

We're using Tom for our honeymoon to Mexico, and so far everything has been wonderful. It's an area I know very little about and I'm also not an experienced traveller. Tom has helped us every step of the way, and made things so much easier.

Going through him has given us the piece of mind that not only him, but a giant like American Express, is behind us. I feel like it just gives us a bit more 'weight' if something ever comes up (which I don't expect it to, but I'm an extreme 'better safe than sorry' kind of girl). We leave in a bit over a month, and I'm so excited! We just booked our excursions through Tom, and we received all our documents. Tom wants to talk sometime next week and go over everything together, which is very reassuring.

I understand that not everyone is a good fit for everyone else, and we all have our different needs and expectations. All I can say is that for us, he was a great choice.
