I have benefited from Kim Copenhaver's amazing travel magic for over fifteen years! She has fixed more problems and provided more incredible opportunities that I could have ever hoped for. I'd never consider going anywhere else.
Great place to book your next vacation. Kelly was very helpful and did a great job for our first ever cruise. I would definitely recommend this business.
Kelly was extremely helpful. Very kind and understanding and patient. I would highly recommend this travel agency.
Had bad luck at 2 other local travel agencies. I had to drive across town to go to this one. I had not traveled in a very long time. I was overwhelmed with all the choices. I tried doing it myself. All the different travel sites and checking prices. So I went in to see kim. She quickly found what I couldn't. And…
I am so grateful for Kelly's guidance on a perfect travel plan with ideal lodging, transit and tours for our Great Britain (8 days, 3 cities, 4 hotels, 2 trains + tours) adventure. The customized guide booklet she created with map and itinerary became our north star, while making check-in for everything a breeze.…

I spoke with Kelly, a travel agent at this facility. I had never used a travel agency before and had several questions about the process. Unfortunately, Kelly was extremely rude and completely unhelpful. When I mentioned that I had already planned certain aspects of my trip, she dismissed them outright, insisting they were wrong. Despite explaining that I was unfamiliar with how travel agencies work, she showed no patience and was incredibly condescending. Her attitude was demeaning, and she asked inappropriate and rude questions, such as, "Where are you gonna stay? You have to sleep somewhere!"—as if I hadn’t already made it clear to her that I am still in the planning process and that is why I reached out to them for help. Rather than guiding me through the process, she was dismissive and unprofessional. This was an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience. The level of customer service was absolutely unacceptable. Very disappointed.

I am so grateful for Kelly's guidance on a perfect travel plan with ideal lodging, transit and tours for our Great Britain (8 days, 3 cities, 4 hotels, 2 trains + tours) adventure. The customized guide booklet she created with map and itinerary became our north star, while making check-in for everything a breeze. The only item we did not have pre-set was a car rental on the last day, but Kelly came through (via text) with a source - talk about above and beyond service :) Thank you, Kelly and Welcome Aboard Travel! Your insight and guidance contributed significantly to supporting this lifetime experience and the best travel I ever had! If I am lucky enough to have another adventure abroad, I will certainly consult Kelly first! THANK YOU!!!
Quick to reach out very helpful for a new traveler, will definitely be using Kelly’s services again in the future.
I have used them before and had great success. Friendly, competent and they get back to you. Recommended. Especially if you have special requirements. Its really nice to have everything done for you.
Barbara planned a train + boat + auto trip for me and my Dad. Everything worked exceptionally well. Very well-coordinated trip due to her attention to detail and coordination efforts. Barbara did a fabulous job planning the trip and I highly recommend her for your travel planning needs.
