John Ruda

Until working with John, I always thought I was able to find the best travel deals for myself - and I'm a stickler for a good deal. Now, I can't imagine the hassle of searching for my own travel bargains ever again. John made my vacation feel so effortless all while saving me more money that I ever expected. He secured rates that were not available to me as part of the general public for both hotel and cruise accommodations. It didn't stop there. There was just the right level of communication, and I always felt like he had my best interests in mind. The biggest thing that stood out to me, beyond the ease of planning, was regular price monitoring. More than once, John reached out to inform me that he noticed a price reduction for my hotel and was able to lower my rate long after the original reservation. For the cruise, he beat the best deal I could find with my normal trusted third-party seller and secured onboard credit that I wasn't expecting. John is now my go-to travel planner. Who wants to be stressed planning a vacation when there's the option of having someone else do all the legwork for an even better deal? Not me.

I can’t say enough amazing things about working with John. I came to him needing help booking a somewhat last-minute cruise, and instead of stressing me out, he made the entire process feel smooth, easy, and genuinely enjoyable. What really stood out was how much time he took to understand me, my likes, dislikes, quirks, preferences, and the kind of vibe I wanted for this trip. He didn’t just send a few random options; he curated a thoughtful list that actually matched my personality and what I was hoping for. John checked in, asked smart questions, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. His patience, kindness, and attention to detail made me feel like I was his only client. He took all the guesswork and stress out of planning and turned it into something exciting. Thanks to him, I headed into this cruise knowing it’s exactly the right fit for me. If you need someone who goes above and beyond, someone who genuinely cares and delivers exceptional service, John is your person. I truly couldn’t recommend him enough.

John is the only travel agent I’ve ever met who truly puts the client first. Everything he did was meant to improve upon our experience. His only goal is that his clients have a great vacation. Right down to the special surprise our kids received for their birthday! Thank you John for everything you do.

John offered recommendations and secured discounts and VIP perks for our getaway to Vegas. Knowledgeable and accessible, John made planning effortless!

John was exceptional to work with for all of my travel needs. He took the time to understand what I look for in my accommodations and talked me through several different options to ensure he found the best fit for me. I appreciated his thoughtfulness and how he always made sure to keep me informed as he moved through his booking process. I can't wait to see what he comes up with for my next trip as I'm sure it will be amazing!
