Beautiful honeymoon
Reviewed By Aubrey - IOWA | Traveled to Mexico
Matt was the best in helping plan my husband and Is honeymoon this past May. We told him our budget and what we were hoping to do during our stay, and he found multiple options for us, it made it hard to choose! When helping pick the right choice for us, Matt was there every step to make the booking process simple and fast. He provided us with all the necessary travel tools we needed to get to our destination safely. We will definitely be using his travel agent services again!

Fantastic Florida
Reviewed By Smith Family - Council Bluffs, Iowa | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Working with Matt was seamless and flawless from the start. Matt took his time to explain all the options available to us. He answered any and all questions even if we asked them twice! He was always an email, phone call or zoom away. Once I became overwhelmed trying to make decisions on my own, he said not to worry and walked me through the details. He sat down with our family and went over the details and provided us options for our days in the park. Not only did he listen to the adults, he asked the kids what they wanted and if they had any questions themselves. Just when I thought he was done, he surprised us even more while on vacation. His attention to detail and listening to our needs and wants made this trip memorable and stress free! We will never use another travel agent. The only question left is, where to next?
Matt Bortmess responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to know you had a great trip with lots of great memories. And I can't wait to help you plan your next adventure!"

Amazing trip to Florida
Reviewed By KWill - Council Bluffs, IA | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
We have booked multiple trips with Key to Adventure Travel Co. by Matt Bortmess and they have all been amazing! Matt handles every detail so that you don’t have to. Whether it’s picking the best all-inclusive resort in Mexico, or logging in super early to book a dining reservation at Disney World, Matt will do it all. He might be the biggest Disney fan I’ve ever met, and he wants your family to feel the same joy that he does when he is in the parks. His dedication to his clients is second to none! Book your next trip with Matt!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
