“Over the years, Ted has not only recommended hotels and restaurants that we’d like but also unforgettable cruises that we might not have known about.

Technology can never replace Ted’s knowing us – our preferences, our tastes, our tolerance levels. So he uses technology to delight us with surprises – and save us considerable money. And he’s always there to help us – in case of emergency.

We are grateful customers – and plan to remain so for many, many years.”

“My family and I have had the good fortune and privilege of having Ted Riegel as our travel consultant and booking agent for more than 15 years.

During that period he has suggested vacation destinations for my wife and me, as well as destinations when we travel with our children and grandchildren.  In each instance, his arrangements, the properties, and the experience have always met or exceeded our expectations.

Thanks to Ted, and his sincere, personal service, we have accrued many years of fond, family vacation memories that are often the topic of discussion and pleasure long after the experience.

I would not think of making a travel decision without  his input and involvement.”

“I have consistently dealt with Ted Riegel and his Travel Bureau Inc. since  the mid 90s.  He has arranged trips for us to over 30 countries and has always done an excellent job.

Ted’s experience allows him to suggest great and convenient hotels and advise us on things to do or see that go beyond the obvious.  Ted follows up to make sure our arrangements are consistent and efficient, and if we find ourselves with a problem, he is there to help us out.  His is a personally owned business and he cares personally about and for his clients. ”

“Have you ever had to change plans?  Running my own businesses, my schedule is rarely set in stone and nothing can beat his assistance changing flights, hotels or rooms, or dates.  I shudder to think of dealing myself with the airlines to change flights or locations nevermind hotels where you rarely deal with the location but rather a switchboard for their numerous properties.  I never travel without his assistance.

We all know that the internet offers dozens of opportunities to shop for travel.  Nothing can beat experience.  Ted can not only recommend better route planning to save money but also has knowledge of hotels and resorts all around the country and the world.”

“Ted has been great to work with these past several years. My wife and I have been on several around the world cruises and Ted assisted us with tricky visas, advice on immunizations, travel advisories, itineraries, and so much more.

He also urged us to purchase travel insurance. If we hadn’t listened to him, we would have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars due to medical emergencies. We also would have missed one of our cruises due to weather cancellations, but he re-protected us on other flights so that we could make our cruise on time. Many others were not as fortunate.

I wholeheartedly recommend his free services to anyone, regardless if they like to do their own planning. His assistance is essential to any trip – at least for peace of mind.”

“I would highly recommend The Travel Bureau. On my last trip, the first leg of a very important business trip was delayed due to weather and I was not going to be able to make my connection. When I landed, I received a text from Ted that he had already re-booked me on another flight so that I could make my meeting. Most of the others on my flight had to spend the night in the airport because they didn’t use a travel agent.”
