We were delighted with our experience working with Kim Kelly on a complicated trip to Europe. She was very resourceful in helping us plan the itinerary and obtain tickets to classical music venues in three different cities. The trip was great and we appreciated her expertise.

Outstanding company!! Marie is the best!! I recommend her to anyone!
Outstanding Service from Travelex International & Marie Hodges! The Mission of Cor Jesu had the pleasure of working with Marie Hodges of Travelex International to arrange airline reservations for all of our pilgrims traveling to Montreal, Canada. Marie was absolutely wonderful to work with! Our group had many questions and several last-minute changes, including adding MileagePlus and TSA information to individual reservations. Despite being bombarded with requests, Marie was always patient, kind, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. She handled everything with professionalism and made the entire process so much easier for us. We are extremely grateful for all of Marie's help and dedication in making sure our pilgrims' travel arrangements were taken care of. We would wholeheartedly recommend Marie and Travelex International and would be happy to work with her again in the future! Thank you, Marie, for making a complicated process feel so simple!
