Because it is a once in a lifetime adventure, you want the guarantee that everything will go as planned and be as wonderful as you have imagined. Most travel agents will not guarantee something like this and because of this, it is a good idea to oversee all the plans personally. Below are some tips and ideas for planning your dream vacation. The first step is to choose a travel agency that you know and trust. If you have not traveled enough to have a personal travel agent, ask around.
Most people have a travel agent that they go back to time and time again.
Make sure that the agency has been in business for at least a few years. Check the Better Business Bureau for complaints filed under the agency. If everything checks out, you should visit the office. A good travel agency will have many, many pamphlets. The staff should be very knowledgeable and be able to speak from experience.
