Agent Specializing in Avalon River Cruises

very helpful and professional quickly answered any questions

Working with Gary was a pleasure. Gary is very professional as well as very personable. Gary went above and beyond to take of are family.

Gary (and his wife Kelli) have looked after my family's travel plans for nearly 20 years. They have arranged several World Cruises for my wife and myself, from Cunard, Radisson, and then Regent. We have benefited from the deep knowledge of the business that they have and their ability to contact many in the industry to resolve problems. And problems do arise. My family now uses them too.

From my experience the travel business is changing rapidly, There is more foreign competition, and many foreign ports are extending their docking space to encourage ships to visit. While that is good for their economies, five ships docked in one port makes life ashore a little crowded and that is where you need an Agent who has a wide knowledge of the Travel Business. Gary handles these problems very effectively.

Another great cruise arranged by Gary!! After booking, I had several questions and changes that were handled very quickly and correctly. Impressed with his quick replies to e-mail and dealings with RC/Celebrity.

Gary and Kelli were so helpful arranging our vacation they were always looking out for our best interest and got us the best deal possible!

Working with Gary is always a pleasure and he is always on time and punctual with responses, always curtious and pleasant to talk to...... best cruise specialist there is!

Superior!

He and Kelly were both great to work with

Gary / Tequesta Travel has been very solid on our experiences on our bookings. We've had to move very quickly on some short notice cruises deals, Gary has response very quickly enabling us to get the deals we requested. My main accolade for Gary would be "that he listens to your requests".

great

Excellent service from excellent professionals. Great experience dealing with Gary, took the hard part out of the planning for us.

Gary helps us to find the perfect vacation to suit our dreams and our budget! He knows everything about every ship and every port and could help us to make the perfect choice in our cruise, it was AWESOME! There is so much information out there that we could have gone crazy. All we had to do was make a call or was it a quick email? to Gary and BOOM! Choices of exactly what we were looking for and an easy decision was made. Gary's professional guidance made all the difference for us, we didn't have time, or the experience and knowledge, to try to look at different cruise lines . He saved us time, found us the best pricing and continued to help us with questions right up until we got on board! Someone who may be considering cruising or an experiened cruiser, would benefit from Gary's expertise. Plus, he's just a good guy! We work too hard to trust our precious vacation to anyone else. Thank you Gary!!!

Always a pleasure Gary and Kelli were most helpful when weather indicated our travel plans needed to change. Assisted with obtaining a hotel and transportation.

The arrangements Gary made went perfectly. Absolutely no issues.

Exceeded our expectations! Surprises for my fiancé's birthday.

Gary is the best travel agent we have dealt with.

Gary is the greatest!

Gary and Kelli are excellent to work with-- they are very knowledgable about the cruise lines and very helpful in ensuring all the details are worked out well in advance in a seamless manner

My family enjoys working with both Kelli and Gary. They always go above and beyond with service and making the travel experience worth it.

Gary was very responsive to our questions as first-time cruisers. He also made sure we had the necessary parental consent forms to take our daughter's friend with us. We would've never known that we needed special, notarized consent, and the cruise line asked for it at check in. Thank goodness we were prepared. Gary also made sure we had the lowest fare available and got us a lower price after booking.

5 stars- exceptional

Gary is great to work with and makes sure everything is taken care of!

We have been working with Gary and Kelli Spadaccini since 1999. Almost 50 cruises later, most have been booked by them. They have served us well. They respond promptly to queries. They work with us to get the best deal available and provide valuable advice. Several times they have had to "go to bat" for us when there was a glitch with a booking, not of their or our making. The outcome always has been satisfactory. They like feedback after trips which allows them to help others. Despite the fact that we live several states apart, their attention has been as good or better than working with a local agency. We communicate effectively by telephone, e-mail, or text. The cruises we have booked with them have taken us to all continents except Antarctica. I was unable to express that below under "Your Destination" so I listed our home state instead, which ultimately is the final destination for any trip! We've recommended them to friends and relatives as well.

I have had Gary as my personal travel agent for years. He has always gone above and beyond for me and my family. He is able to get me the best deals so I can cruise more. Gary works very hard to help my trip go smoothly. Spending hours on the phone to make transfers and fix problems for me. When you book through the cruise line you do not get the great service that Gary provides. When I have a problem or question about my cruise? I call Gary and he gets me answers. I don't have to spend hours waiting on the phone. Do yourself a favor and book with a pro.

Always incredibly responsive and knowledgeable - would not work with anyone else to book our family cruises.

E-mailed Gary asking him for a last-minute cruise out of Galveston. He found one on RCI that was perfect...adjacent to our anniversary! Great price for a Great room. WONDERFUL service from Tequesta Travel

This crew works relentlessly to make the most of your vacation! Any issue that popped-up, they were quick to make sure it was resolved! Furthermore they saved me money!

Excellent

Easy to work with Gary. Now for the trip, The Princess plus package doesn't provide quality wine selections for anyone who enjoys fine wines. The choice of wines on the wine list i general was subpar. The best approach is to buy wine by the glass, and pay the difference to upgrade to a better wine then buying a bottle. Alternatively, they charge $15 service charge to bring your own, and if you can, that is probably the best deal. The stop in St. Kitts was disappointing, as the train ride for a scenic tour was taking us through the worse part of the island. Houses that had been destroyed by a hurricane, cars on boxes, rusting hulks of machinery, a train ride that rattles your bones....stay away from he train ride.

Gary is the best agent there is! He makes everything go so smoothly and takes care of everything. He is just awesome.

Excellent travel agent , pays attention to detail and very good at keeping me informed of my trip details

Excellent- very professional

Great help

Gary is a pleasure to work with. With Gary’s help, my family has enjoyed 5 ocean cruises, 2 river cruises and one bus tour. Never experienced any problems at all on all 8 trips! He knows the in's-and-out's of the travel industry and he provides an excellent personal service. He knows where the best cabins are and he always manages to save us money. You don't need to call a random person on a 1-800 number, just call Gary! Highly recommended!

Kelly and Gary are THE BEST. We've use them year after year after year.

It was wonderful to work with and everything went smooth through the whole process of booking our cruise. We highly recommend him and enjoy working with him

Gary is the greatest! He and Kelli are so responsive and always get us the best deal on the best cruises!

Gary handled everything for us, and I mean everything: cruise reservations, business class airfare, fine hotels before and after our cruise. Since we had never been on a cruise, his info and good advice was priceless for us. All his suggestions proved very helpful.
We would highly recommend Gary without reservation

Adjacent rooms with wifi, beverage package, dining and more was wonderful.

Working with Gary is a great pleasure and I really look forward to booking many more cruises with him.

Gary was and has always been on top of everything from beginning to end. Answers all our questions & if he can't at the moment will have an answer as soon as humanly possible.. A real true cruise expert. Made our 50th anniversary very special by helping a family member order decor etc for our cabin.

Gary was very helpful with the reservations and follow-on details.

Working with Gary & Kelli was always a pleasure as they were very efficient and responsive to our every need.

As travel agents go-Kelli & Gary are surely the best
They definitely rate above all the rest!!!

Work with Tequesta has been wonderful

Gary knows the business and listens. You can't ask for a better agent!

Gary is always very responsive and was able to offer advice on all aspects of a very complex vacation from car service logistics to tour recommendations. We had some last minute changes to our itinerary (perhaps an understatement), and Gary was there to help, even on a weekend.

Excellent!!!

Working with Gary and Jodi was a pleasure. They're knowledgeable and responsive and genuinely nice people. You can trust them.

Fantastic. Honest, friendly and they are experts in the travel industry

Gary did a fine job getting our cruise ready. He took care of a few minor problems in a timely and precise manner. I would highly recommend using his services for any travel needs.

Gary is an excellent agent. He is knowledgeable, very helpful, courteous, and reliable.

Always has answers or will help get them. Works diligently to get the trip you want w the best price.

Gary knew exactly what I wanted for my cruise with kids and grandkids (6 people) and provided a perfect voyage!! 3 cabins in a row with two connecting. Could not have been a better arrangement.

Great travel agent.

Great tip

Gary was incredibly helpful. He emailed me back within minutes and answered any questions I had. He made great recommendations and helped us with independent excursions. He offered great value with deals he had to offer. I couldn't ask for more in a travel agent and will use him again and absolutely recommend him.

Gary was very knowledgeable on how to create a great cruise experience based on our needs...ship? itinerary? length? destination? cost? He produced the PERFECT solution!! Celebrity EDGE southern Caribbean cruise was the best ever! This ship's cabins, size/design, food, entertainment are all the best we've experienced in 10+ cruises!! THANKS Gary for your recommendations and arrangements!!

We have taken several cruises and we used Gary for all of them. He always finds us the best deal, perfect cabin placement and helps us with any questions or concerns we might have. We have also booked River Boat cruises in Europe with him. I highly recommend using Gary. We have never been disappointed.

Wow Kelli was my travel agent
This is probably at least my fifth cruise with Kelli she is so warm and friendly you want to take her on the trip with you. I always ask her 1 million questions and she’s always sweet with a kind response. This is a tough time to plan cruises or to help plan a cruise but she made it amazing! She was spot on about everything from the package to take The suite to book the cruise line to take she could not have given us better advice She made out trip so special.Kelli is a true beautiful soul and when I lost my bag due to my own negligence of
Leaving it on the ship she was the one that filled out the claim for me and got in touch with the right people with a wonderful success of my bag with precious jewelry returned. Kelli Ben’s over backwards for me and my family on this trip and on every trip I have booked with her I can’t imagine booking with anyone else she is my travel agent for life!! Don’t look anywhere else Book with Kelli &Gary. Bon Voyage Sar

Gary an d Kelli go beyond the call to deliver outstanding service and problem-solving -- charming and friendly to work with; a real pleasure to have such professionals on our side!

It has always been a pleasure working with Gary. His is on top of his business and has outstanding follow up and follow through.

Everything was taken care of. Great service

We have used Gary’s and Kelly’s services for over 30 years and over 40 cruises. Every trip was superior and flawless.

Kelli Spadaccini
