Great travel agent

by PrinceChaos at Citysearch

My wife and I visited Amsterdam, Munich and Prague in March 2008 for our 20th wedding anniversary. It was our first time to Europe and Leatta was a great agent for us. She tailored the entire trip to our interests and budget including rail travel between cities. Hotels were all what we requested (clean, safe, centrally-located, and cheap). Leatta gave us a lot of great advice and helped us put together a great trip. We loved all 3 cities, especially Amsterdam and Prague. I heartily reccommend Leatta and Europe - Your - Way.

You're better off doing it on your own! Seriously, your wallet will thank you.

Never willl I ever do business with this company. She has no idea what she's doing, she's all over the place and I found much better deals with a consolidator that charges WAY less than the stuff she quoted me.

My recommendation is to go to google and then search for cheap flights to europe. You will find a few excellent consolidator websites. Who needs a "travel agent" (If you can call her that) when you can do it yourself and not pay a fee to someone who is working no harder than you are on this?

Thanks, but NO thanks!

• Pros: Are there any?

LoBruAmPar (London, Brugge, Amsterdam, Paris) Trip in 12 days

by travelbea at Citysearch

We're newbies traveling to Europe and chose to go to London, Brugge, Amsterdam, and Paris for 12 days. Leatta at Europe Your Way helped arrange the whole trip to our budget. Flew into London & did Eurorail from one country to the next then flew out of Paris. It was tiring taking trains from country to country & a little confusing trying to figure out what platform our train left out of & what time. Not to mention the language barrier issues in Belgium,Holland,& France. Stayed at Sydney House, London (small room w/tiny bath, clean, tv only had 6-7 channels, & good service), Martin's Hotel, Brugge (standard size room like in the U.S., modern, & clean, 8-9 channels on tv, service ok), Dikker En Thijs Fenice, Amsterdam (superior room is large w/ good sized bathroom, tv had the most channels w/ 9+, clean, & ok customer service), and St. Germain's Hotel, Paris (small room & bath w/ no shower curtain, modern furniture, carpet a little outdated, tv sadly only had 2 channels, & walls were thin, but service friendly.) We traveled 3/14 - 3/27/08, expected temps. around high 40's to low 50's, but got dismal weather (cold rain and snow) & the U.S. dollar was very low. Couldn't really afford much, but the passes recommended by Leatta for London & Paris helped out alot. Loved London the best (customs agent we got was snotty & rude, but overall everyone else was nice and the city was great.) Recommend eating at Wagamama's and ordering the Curry Katsu w/ sticky rice. YUM!! Paris was nice also, food was great, & people were friendly. Brugge may be more romantic in the summer. Just wasn't fun in the cold rain, but the chocolate was delish! Don't think we'd do Amsterdam again. Had trash in the streets, graffiti on the walls & younger locals not as hospitable as the older ones. If you're doing pub. trans. be prepared to do alot of walking...bring good, comfy walking shoes. . Overall, we learned and saw alot & had a memorable trip. Thanks to Leatta & her crew for all their help.

• Pros: Got prompt responses by email most of the time. Customer service good.
• Cons: Missed one hotel night on our trip, but luckily got it fixed asap.
