Great recommendations in places to stay!

Steve is always able to answer any questions I can come up with! He is a joy to work with and really knows the travel industry!

26 years! Steve Aves has been our travel agent for over a quarter century. For dozens of cruises and over twenty-five European vacations, Steve has provided us with exceptional travel advice and services. Together, we have found out about travel sites, hotels, and experiences that we might have overlooked without his expertise. He has always been professional, courteous, and trustworthy. We would highly recommend Steve Aves as a travel consultant.

Not only did we enjoy our trip to St. Thomas, but it was Steve's recommendation that St. Thomas be the all inclusive destination for all 25 Henson Disposal Company employees who were gifted a trip by the company owners. Steve coordinated the transportation and timing for each couple at St. Thomas. Many of the employees had never been to an all inclusive destination as several were ex prisioners being given a second chance with jobs at Henson Disposal Company. His meetings with these employees and hand holding were critical to the success of the company gift of this $5,000 valued gift. The appreciation level from the employees was off the charts positive in large part because of the handling of everything by Steve.

Steve planned our excursion to the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, & Lithuania based on our request, and after meeting us to discuss. I feel like he really understood what kinds of things we wanted to do, what kind of interesting things we wanted to see, all while being safe. He arranged it all, we just showed up! There were many cities, sites, connections, travel modes, and people involved. Steve was able to start us in Helsinki, hop to St. Petersburg, then travel the Baltic for historical sites & events, even a hot-air balloon ride in Vilnius! Everything went smoothly & according to plan. This was NOT a cookie-cutter vacation. Steve tailored this vacation to us, and he did it beautifully! He also organized our Iceland trip in 2021 & our Welsh Invasion (he named it, very appropriately) in 2024. He was responsive to a few questions that we had while abroad, communicating with us quickly. We knew he had our backs! Steve has shown us he is a professional, caring, & knowledgeable agent,

Every detail was taken care of. Excellent service, always available, the best travel agent service for the past 15+ years. My friends and family love the service and the personal experience and expertise.

Steve has planned many a trip for me! No trip is too far-flung for him. He always takes care of air travel, ground travel, hotels, tours. We have never been disappointed. He's always available if you find yourself in a pickle. I plan all of my trips with him.
