Kathy! The trip was fantastic! The flights there and back were seamless—so nice how we were met with a personal welcome sign at three different points once we got to Belize. The country, the people and the resort were all incredibly hospitable and beautiful. In fact, we kept saying how we got the nicest resort on the whole island. Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Christopher had the time of his life, as did the rest of us. For me, the best part was the third leg of our journey there (and the first on the way back)—the flight to/from the island in the tiny propeller plane over the clear blue waters and smaller islands that separate Ambergris Caye from the mainland. That was an experience we will never forget.

Can’t thank you enough for putting it all together. Let me know if you have any specific questions, even if they arise months in the future when another crazy couple insists on going to Belize.

I highly recommend Kathy Jirau as a Travel Agent/Advisor. This was the first cruise I ever booked and so I wasn’t sure about a number of things, including the differences in rooming within the ship. This was challenging since I was planning the cruise as a surprise anniversary gift to my parents. However I must say that Kathy did a great job in explaining the different options available to me and she worked within my budget. She also found a cruise that fit my preference of leaving out of a nearby port rather than flying, which was extremely helpful. Kathy Jirau can help you find what you’re looking for when booking your next cruise. I’ll definitely use her services again!

Thank you so much for going above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. Our vacation to Turks and Cacaos was absolutely fantastic! My best friend and I had only to give you the dates we would like to travel and you came up with perfect air and hotel accommodations. On short notice no less! I had always wanted to go Turks and Cacaos but felt it was too expensive. You worked hard to discover current promotions, allowing us to have a fabulous trip on a budget we could afford. I cannot say enough good things about your knowledge, professionalism and expertise. I have only praise for Jirau Travel - Cruise Planners and trust your agency implicitly. I highly recommend your travel service and will use Jirau Travel - Cruise Planners exclusively for all my future travel plans.

Thank you so much for your time and effort in booking my trip. I had blind faith walking in due to your great reviews and I was pleasantly surprised when the entire trip was so simple. From the flight off to my cruise and back your constant reminders and notifications kept me well informed on all aspects of my trip and what to expect. Because you took care of all the details I was free to sit back and enjoy. I will be back to travel with you again for all of my future trips.

You've arranged two trips for us so far and both were terrific. The Danube River Cruise is going to be the first of many – please plan to be busy keeping us on the World Rivers. Everything went as planned – from airline scheduling to our accommodations on the river. Also the same was true about our long weekend in the Turks and Caicos. Kudos again. Thanks for a great job. We’ll be doing lots more together.

Jirau-Travel was able to expediently and expertly arrange travel to Turks & Caicos for me and a friend, on very short notice in January 2012. Kathy was able to book a package that was not only more affordably priced, but also an upgrade to the one that sold out before we could purchase it. 

Jirau-Travel was able to expediently and expertly arrange travel to Turks & Caicos for me and a friend, on very short notice in January 2012. Kathy was able to book a package that was not only more affordably priced, but also an upgrade to the one that sold out before we could purchase it. She was relentless in following up with the airlines and hotels and thus ensured that we received exactly the package we wanted. As a result, I highly recommend her to other travelers and will consider her for future travel.
