Girl's Getaway
Reviewed By Kels - Columbia, Sc | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
I used Mark Baker w/ Bakers View to book a girl's getaway to Mexico for a very fun topless resort, Temptation. He also booked excursions for us on the trip along with the flights. I have never flown out of the country & was slightly nervous but he put me @ ease. Also, since he has traveled so much he was able to make fabulous suggestions on where to go in Mexico. I can not even explain how much fun we had on this trip! He handled everything and I have never used a travel agent, honestly I always thought why? When I could book it myself and not pay someone but how awesome we didn't have to pay him, the resort pays him. Now I can not even imagine going on a trip he doesn't book for me. His follow up was incredible and he is very dependable. Thank you so much Mark for making this such an enjoyable experience! Can't wait for the next trip!

Best Honeymoon Every
Reviewed By Caitlin - Greenville, SC | Traveled to Europe
My husband and I had THE BEST honeymoon we could have ever dreamed of because of Mark and Bakers View Travel. It was our first time traveling to Europe and Mark made us feel so at ease. We could not have asked for a better experience. He had the best ideas and found the most cost efficient and cutest places for us to stay. Because of Mark, we were able to travel to all the places we wanted to see on our honeymoon. I plan on always going through Bakers View Travel anytime we are planning a big trip!! So incredibly happy!!

Cruising the Adriatic
Reviewed By Anne & Van - Columbia, SC | Traveled to Venice ~ Italy ~ Europe
Mark Baker of Bakers View Travel helped us plan a 7 night Greece and Adriatic cruise on Royal Caribbean. We had never been to this part of the world so we depended on Mark to help us with lodging and transportation. Mark booked the cruise, the airline, hotels, train transportation, and transfers for us. He presented us with an opportunity to stay in Venice two nights in order that we could visit there. We also stayed one night in Ravenna from where our ship sailed. It was a treat to tour that city as well. At our request, he graciously changed our hotel accommodations from what he had originally booked, emphasizing that this was our trip and he wanted us to be happy. And indeed we were! It was a great trip all around and we appreciate what Mark did for us which allowed us to have so much fun.

FINALLY Got Our Amazing Irish View!!
Reviewed By DGLong - Graniteville, SC | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
After 12 years of dreaming of the Emerald Isle, we finally made it to Ireland with Mark's help! I love to research places before we visit, so I had most of the trip planned out. However, Mark gave us advice about certain aspects of our trip like plane tickets, rental cars, and travel insurance, and he even lent us travel books for more research. When the time came, Mark helped us book our plane tickets, rental car, travel insurance, a couple of the hotel reservations, and a few of our experiences like at Guinness and Smithwick. Right before our trip, we ended up changing our rental car pick-up and drop-off dates (because you don’t need to drive in Dublin!), and Mark handled it. Having used him a couple of years ago to help plan a family cruise, we knew that Mark was the travel agent to go to for our two-week Ireland trip. He was eager to help us make this trip a reality, and his time, knowledge, and professionalism were all appreciated. Mark helped us find our amazing Irish view!!!

A Honeymoon to always remember
Reviewed By Amanda Oldaker - Columbia, SC | Traveled to Saint Lucia ~ St. Kitts and Nevis ~ Caribbean
Hands down the best experience I’ve had with a travel agent. I believe Mark experienced his most difficult case with my honeymoon. Having to reschedule everything not once, but twice due to COVID. After working hard for over a year, we finally made it to St. Lucia. Experienced an amazing honeymoon thanks to Mark’s most up to date travel knowledge and willing to help every step of the way. I will never travel without Marks assistance again. I highly recommend everyone booking vacations with Bakers View Travel.

Stress-free Cruising with the Family!
Reviewed By DG Long - Augusta, GA | Traveled to St. Lucia ~ Caribbean
Never having used a travel agent or been on a cruise before, I did some research and decided to reach out to Mark. I was a bit overwhelmed in February 2019 trying to help organize a December 2019 cruise for 17 family members, and he sure did make the process soooo much easier!! I told him about one of my personal “bucket list” places to visit and the general direction I wanted us to head, and he found the perfect cruise for us. Mark helped figure out how to get the best use out of the “freebies” like the flights, drink packages, and specialty dining offered by the cruise line for all 8 of our cabins. His own cruising experiences enabled him to offer tips to share with my family. Mark’s assistance really took the stress out of the planning part and helped us create a memorable experience for our family cruise. The experience I had with Mark from the initial call to the follow-up email after the cruise was one that will send me back to him for my future travels!!!
