Aweigh-To-Go-Travel

We decided to use a travel agent for our recent trip to Italy and called Marilyn. She was great! She not only made our air and hotel arrangements, but also booked our tours, rail and private transfers to and from the airport and many other personal touches such as restaurant recommendations. She is very professional and easy to work with. She frequently e-​mailed or called us with updates on our travel plans. We always felt that everything was under control.
The entire experience was great. We had a wonderful trip and want to thank Marilyn for all the arrangements. We highly recommend Marilyn!

I can not help but RAVE about Marilyn and Aweigh-​To-​Go-​Travel. I tried to look into all of our trips alone and it was confusing and daunting as all heck! Trust Marilyn, she is a pro!!!
She has booked our (my sister and i) last two trips and she will book all my trips from now on! Our first trip abroad was to Paris and Portugal. We fell in love with the city of lights! How could you not? Everything in Paris was amazing. Such a relief not having to make arrangements for cars and what to do because she did it all for us. Our hotel was good in Paris. We loved the area and once we mastered the Metro we were all over! LOL BE WARNED Paris is work!!! There is sooo much to see and Marilyn made it possible for us to see as much as we could. (Versailles was included :)) The only down part to our trip was Disneyland Paris. Now being Disneyland freaks we were so excited but super underwhelmed with Disney Paris (it is beautiful but its not the Disneyland I know and love). It is a must a go (if you are a fan) but only for a day. Then we were off to Portugal and the amazing island of Madeira. We loved the island. Marilyn never sent anyone there so we were her lab rats. LOL We loved it! But we did have to rent a car there (no big deal just an FYI) We did our own thing on the island (we have family there) and its a place not to be missed! Then from there we spent a few days in Lisbon. There is no one word to describe Lisbon. It is a must see! We had a tour to Fatima and stopped off in Nazare, Alcobaca and Obidos; lovely cities. Obidos is an old medieval town (try the ginga shots YUM) Alcobaca has a monk church (I think) with tombs of Dom Pedro and Inês de Castro (Portugal’s own star crossed lovers) Nazare is a fishing village and our stop off for lunch. The waves were huge! They have some of the worlds best surfing there. Then on our last day we had a sunset cruise on the Tagus.
We didn’t think she could top that trip of 2014 but then we just got back from Italy and boy did Marlyn knock it out of the park! We did a little over 2 weeks in Italy. And everyone was jealous :) We landed in Venice and let the adventure begin. We had a tour booked for St. Marks and this is seriously my favorite church. We also did a romantic gondola cruise LOl and after that just did some sight seeing aka got lost a bunch of times. LOL Venice is a great city but you can see it in 1 – 2 tops (if time is a concern) Then began the real adventure… trains! LOL We took the train to Florence. Here she booked us the best hotel so far of the trip! Roof top pool and a view of the whole city!!! It was where we liked to start our evenings after the sunset and then go out. Here we did a Tuscany wine tour. We went to Siena (beautiful town and the worlds oldest bank still in operation) San Gimignano, another medieval town with the worlds greatest gelato. No seriously its won contests! LOL From there we went to Pisa and all long we got to wine taste! LOL all and all a good day trip to knock stuff out! Then the next day we did the Dan Brown tour of Inferno. If you are a fan we recommend it. You learn things you never would on your own and you get to see the things that you read about and then stuff starts to make sense. We even got to go into the Vasari corridor!!! Now that is amazing! From there we went to Positano. My favorite because here it really feels like a vacation. Our hotel was literally right on the water. Great choice! Floating in the blue ocean, drinking sangria and eating… Nothing is better :) We had a cruise to Capri. It was nice but there was issues with the blue grotto (we didn’t get to see it because time didn’t allow it) but our captain took us to another grotto and we got to swim in there. Now that was fun!!! From what I have heard the blue grotto isn’t that big of a deal so I was ok with missing it! From Positano we went to where all roads lead… Roma! Rome is a huge bustling city with so much going on. We saw the Coliseum and the forum. Both amazing and both packed LOL it was super hot of course! We took a day trip to Pompeii and if you go to Pompeii take the tour!!! You learn sooo much and you’ll see so much more because you wont get lost! And the last of our trip we had Marilyn book us to the Vatican. Marilyn booked the earliest tour (smart in theory and in general, just make sure you keep the wine to a minimum the night before!) We got to go to the Sistine Chapel when it was empty. That is worth the tour alone.
Marilyn made everything easy and literally highlights and marks what you have going on with details and things to do on top of what she already has done for you. She has made traveling a breeze and couldn’t imagine having the same results without her! I meet people when on vacation and always recommend her. She is a gem! She will also contact you while you are gone to make sure everything is going ok. She has set the bar high for traveling for me!!!

My husband and I stumbled onto Marilyn on accident~ when we found out that AAA travel agency is CLOSED on Saturdays! My husband did a search and quickly found Aweigh-​To-​Go-​Travel and was impressed by the Unilocal reviews. He called and she met with us that day! We planned a trip to Ireland, Scotland and NY~ Marilyn made great suggestions and gave us some great tips for our trip. She was able to keep us pretty close to our budget and we will definitely use her again!

Marilyn with Aweigh to go travel is absolutely amazing! She helped plan my recent 2 week Costa Rican honeymoon and it was pure bliss. All the requested we asked for were met! Everything from hiking a volcano, zip lining, traveling the county by car and relaxing on the beach with tropical drinks. She finds a way to get you want you want and is great at finding ways to cut cost! Stick with her and I promise you’ll have the vacation of your dreams!

I don’t know where to start with the compliments. So I will say– Marilyn YOU ARE THE BEST! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a great experience, your attention to detail, and most of all your kindness. Truly a wonderful person.
We researched for our honeymoon in Spain and France on our own but that proved to be a dauntless task when your also planning a wedding. I am so happy that I decided to go with a travel agency instead. Not only did Marilyn get us the better deals, she gave us tips for traveling, made sure our passports had enough time left on them, made a nice booklet with maps and info for us, nicely brought us down to reality when I wanted to do three countries, and even gave us a personalized album for our honeymoon pictures! Not to mention she remembered my birthday and sent me such a nice and cute card:)
From the start she was so professional and on top of things and that put our minds at ease. She frequently emailed and kept us up to date on options we wanted from the Rick Steve’s travel book as well as her own recommendations. It all worked out in the end and we had a great time!

I found Aweigh-​To-​Go Travel on Unilocal and saw all the nice reviews and decided to give it a try. Marilyn was very helpful and knowledgable. I wanted to take my wife to Hawaii (the big island), but had never been there before. Marilyn was very good about asking all the right questions. She picked a great hotel for us. It was just what we were looking for and really added to the experience. She also selected a stargazing tour on Mauna Kea that was truly amazing. Finally, she put together tons of extra materials for finding things to do. All of this she did and managed to stay within our budget. We were able to maximize our enjoyment, which turned it into a most memorable experience. I would definitely use Marilyn’s services again and can highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great vacation!

We can always count on Marilyn to find us the best experience for the right price! Marilyn books almost all of our family’s trips and we never have a complaint.
Last year when we were planning our family’s summer vacation we were having a tough time deciding on a destination. She was extremely patient with our indecisiveness an make us feel very comfortable with all of our comments and questions. She always gets back to you almost immediately when you have a question and follows up with you when your trip is over.
I highly recommend Marilyn to plan your next trip! She does a GREAT job!

Marilyn does a great job throughout out the entire travel cycle. She is very knowledgeable and able to provide great information about a variety of locations. Once you pick a location, she is great at putting together various travel packages across different price points. But most of all, during the trip, Marilyn is very helpful and responsive and genuinely cares about how your trip goes.
My wife and I have used Marilyn twice now for international trips. Our first time using Marilyn was for our honeymoon to Fiji. Marilyn was able to pull together a few different options that covered various trip experiences. Most impressive was that while in Fiji we had to make a travel adjustments and Marilyn made herself available and was able to help us get new plans in place.
Our second time using Marilyn was for a trip to Italy. We were very pleased with all our accommodations and travel plans. Marilyn clearly loves what she does and it really shows through her tremendous work.

Your must have Marilyn book your trip for you. Don and I wanted to travel to London, Paris, and three cities in Italy with a side to Pompeii. We could not have been more pleased with our travel accommodation through-​out the different countries, museum passes, and our hotel accomodations. There were no glitches in her scheduling except when the country decided to have a strike or protest in a town square. Which no one could control! This was a celebration of our 50^th anniversary and with the help of Marilyn at Aweight-​to-​go-​travel she made it a trip that we’ll always cherish.
Great job Marilyn.

Wow, wow, wow. That is all I can say. Sometimes you think when you contact someone at a travel agency site, you’ll never hear back from them or they won’t work hard to help you.
Let me tell you– Marilyn is amazing! She got back to me very quickly, asked great questions, and helped me book a trip to Taiwan with my family in less than 24 hours. The fares were incredibly high on all the sites I checked since X-​mas time is expensive, yet she managed to get us a great deal.
I would give her more than 5 stars if that were possible– she really is very dedicated and great!!! I would recommend her to anyone planning a vacation. :)

We decided to take a Caribbean cruise for our family of 5 this summer. We chose Marilyn to be our travel agent based on her 5-​Star Unilocal reviews. And 5-​Stars she was! Initially, we were conflicted on what type of cruise to take. Marilyn offered us several options in a very timely manner. We chose an itinerary and ship (Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas) that we could all agree on. What an amazing trip it was for all of us. Marilyn’s promptness, attention to detail, knowledge and experience were amazing. From now on we will be traveling no further than Marilyn and Aweigh-​To-​Go Travel for all our vacation and travel needs! Thanks so much Marilyn!

Marilyn was a joy to work with and made our honeymoon an incredible memory. She had great recommendations and helped us find exactly what we were looking for in a travel experience. She was very on top of things, which made the planning completely free of any stress, which was incredibly helpful while simultaneously planning a wedding. She sent us off with a bag of travel goodies, recommended packing list and all necessary documents and we returned from our honeymoon to a personalized note in the mail from her. We highly recommend planning your trip through Aweigh-​To-​Go-​Travel!

We have used Marilyn, at Aweigh-​To-​Go– Travel, for several years and couldn’t be more pleased in the service she has been providing us. We usually just give her a destination and she works her magic for a wonderful vacation. She is always available for questions or any help that we might need. She coordinates everything and we never have to worry about any details. She is very professional and always puts the customers first. We love receiving her pre-​vacation packages. She always has surprises for us to enjoy. I would highly recommend Aweigh-​To-​Go Travel to anyone planning a vacation. Thanks Marilyn for making our vacations so wonderful. You are the BEST~

Thank you, Marilyn! You made a dream come true for me & my three high school classmates. We reconnected at our 50^th reunion last Sept. I had not seen some of my friends for 50 years, but we just picked where we left off. We decided to visit another classmate who now lives in Puerto Vallarta. Marilyn made this happen for the four of us. She coordinated everything from helping us chose the best cruise, getting us to the port, in San Diego, from three cities in CA & one in Phoenix, AZ, and answering all our questions. She didn’t miss a thing, down to the laminated baggage tags that the baggage handler even commented on! We are going to travel again and we will definitely be asking Marilyn to help us.

Once again we owe a big big thanks to Marilyn for her incredible service and planning for our group of travelers. She juggled 8 people with different agendas and time frames, I can’t imagine how she was able to make it all come together. I don’t know why you wouldn’t use Marilyn to book your vacation, it is the same cost to book it yourself, only with Marilyn you don’t have to make all the calls and arrangements and you get the security of knowing she is just an email or phone call away if you need help with ANYTHING at all. Thank you Marilyn, you are amazing!

We were referred to Marilyn by close friends (they have used her services several times). From start to finish Marilyn was courteous, patient, prompt and professional. She helped us travel to Costa Rica by coordinating everything from excursions and flights to our travel between airports and resorts. She was even available on Thanksgiving when we were leaving and had some questions, as well as while we were on our trip. Thanks to Marilyn, we had the trip of a lifetime!

For our honeymoon we had a good idea of where we wanted to go and knew making that happen would be logistically tricky. Marilyn took care of every fine detail with precision and speed. She was always in constant contact with us during the planning stages and couldn’t be more helpful preparing us for our trip.
The entire trip went smoothly, there was not one aspect that didn’t go as planned; from air travel to the resort to our excursions.
Marilyn says that she is a Sandals specialist, and that is exactly what she is!
We recommend Marilyn to anyone looking to take an amazingly perfect trip and we cannot wait to use Aweigh-​To-​Go-​Travel again and again!
