Favorite Grampy Travels Reviews

A HUGE shoutout to our amazing travel agent Taylor! She spent TWO HOURS on the phone and scored us $995 credit for our Christmas cruise! Having that onboard credit waiting for us makes planning so much easier. We are beyond excited!

If you want someone who truly goes the extra mile, she’s your girl! ❤️🙌

April Hammond guided us gently through the entire process of planning our trip to Spain, and her sensitivity to our preferences, her careful and thoughtful approach, and the results of her work in delivering us an exceptional trip are deeply appreciated. She was available and “with” us every step of the way, even down to post trip follow up. We recommend her highly.

Sadie helped us plan a wonderful quick trip to Orlando. She provided us with a ton of valuable resources to maximize our time, helped plan daily itineraries, and was full of insider tips and recommendations to have a truly magical family vacation. She even secured us several discounts after booking. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast she recommended at Universal Studios. I had a few questions while we were in Epic and she responded extremely quickly and had helpful answers. We were truly blown away by the level of service and we plan to book many more trips through her in the future. If you want a magical trip with minimal stress I highly recommend Sadie.

I worked with Skyla and she was amazing! I cannot get over how professional, organized and knowledgeable she is. I will definitely use her again along with refer my friends to her. She was able to snag our grinch tickets at 4am this morning! We were so worried about getting tickets since they sell out so quick but she assured us we would be good to go! She knows her stuff and it was a pleasure working with her on my trip. This company is very reputable and responsive. I hope anyone who needs assistance sees my review and it helps them choose Skyla 😊

Laura Donovan planned our trip ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY!!! We didn’t run into any problems whatsoever it was the smoothest trip and will ALWAYS have her plan any of my future vacations!!!

Review Update 2026- third trip working with Diana. She made several great recommendations and helped us find the perfect vacation. When we had a few issues with the resort during planning, she stayed on top of everything and made sure everything got worked out. So grateful!

Review update 2025- second trip working with Diana and continue to be impressed by her support. Fantastic experience!

Diana was amazing - she was quick and thorough in answering our questions and giving us options. Helped us understand what we could do and made wonderful recommendations on how to best spend our time.
So grateful- and I look forward to planning my next trip with her!

I would like to take a moment to thank and also write a review about Favorite Grampy Travels who assisted me with planning our first trip to Disney World and Universal at Florida.

We were assisted by Julie Shar and right from the get-go the entire process was very smooth. Julie set up time to understand our requirements and we had multiple sessions to finalize what we needed. She came up with a planning itinerary and that helped us immensely.

We trusted Julie's expertise in the entire process and Favorite Grampy took care of booking our stay at Disney/Universal resorts as well as the Theme park tickets. She also was reachable any time during our stay at Disney and we had a very enjoyable experience throughout. For anyone planning their first Disney trip, I would highly recommend Julie from Favorite Grampy Travels!!

Over the years I have traveled extensively for both business and personal....in USA and abroad. By far, the best travel advisor I have ever worked with is Nicole Damiano She is a A+

I worked with Jessica for our upcoming Universal trip. She was super responsive and helpful at every turn!

Julie is an amazing travel agent! She was there every step of the way for our Universal trip. She gave us all the travel tips & made our trip flawless.

From start to finish, Skyla made this trip the easiest and most fun!

Michelle was the most patient and attentive travel agent I have ever worked with. I really appreciated her awesome itinerary format, her attention to detail, her following up with me daily when we had some weather issues and the overall planning process. Highly recommend and would definitely use her services again.

Jolene was exceptional to work with! She helped us plan our trip every step of the way and made sure to help us answer any questions we had while on the trip! Definitely recommend!

Stephanie is a fantastic planner. I had so many questions and she was so helpful!! Reach out to her you won’t regret it!!!

We had an amazing experience working with Danielle D as our travel agent twice now!

Taking her recommendation was hands-down the best decision we made. The VIP tour was 100% worth it and saved us well over 15 hours of waiting in line, especially at the new Epic park. The experience felt seamless, stress-free, and truly special.

Danielle was knowledgeable, proactive, and genuinely cared about making sure we got the most out of our trip for the best price . We couldn’t have planned a better Universal experience without her, and we will absolutely be using her again for future travel

Honorable mention for Skylar that savez me a lot of money and organized our orlando trip perfectly with good advices

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Samantha Malone with Favorite Grampy Travels has now planned several vacations for our family, including Disney trips and Norwegian cruises to Alaska, Mexico, and the Caribbean, and we cannot recommend her enough!
She truly takes care of everything from start to finish. Samantha has helped us with flights, hotels, park tickets, cruise reservations, excursions, dining, transportation, and all the little details that can make planning a big family vacation overwhelming. She is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and always makes sure we know exactly what to expect before we travel.
Having one person who can coordinate the entire trip and answer all of our questions has made traveling so much easier and more enjoyable. We keep coming back to Samantha for each new vacation because we know we can trust her to handle the details and help us plan an amazing trip.
If you’re planning Disney, a cruise, or a family vacation, I highly recommend Samantha!

Julie Shar is truly amazing. I was soooo skeptical about her service like is this real? Is this a scam? She is so sweet so knowledgeable answering questions. I had a little bit of a trouble on my second day out in Studios. She answered in my first call 9 o’clock in the morning on a Sunday ‘morning while I was in the line to go into Universal Studios with me on the phone until I was able to get the email of my QR codes.

Julie Shar was amazing! She responded so quickly to all of my emails and questions and made the whole planning process so easy. She checked in with us before our trip and even followed up afterward to make sure everything went well. I really appreciated how helpful and attentive she was throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend her! ❤️

We just had an amazing long weekend(September 25-28) all thanks to Shannon Robinson!!
This was such a fun quick trip to Universal!
We stayed at Royal Pacific (for early access and unlimited express passes at IoA and US). We spent Friday just hanging out at the hotel and City Walk after flying in. On Saturday we started early access at IoA and had a blast riding rides and enjoying the atmosphere! We hopped on the train to US around 1pm to get our stay and scream wrist bands for HHN. We were able to do all 3 haunted houses that opened at 2pm before 5:15. We then had some waiting for the next 3 houses. we weren’t sure about getting the express passes, but we were okay with the waiting. The scare zones were a lot of fun! The kids were really tired by 10pm so we weren’t able to get the last of the haunted house in. But for 1 night at HHN I think we did amazing! Best Halloween atmosphere at a theme park (we live near Busch gardens Williamsburg and have done halloscream and HHN was 10 times better!)
Sunday we spent the day at Epic! We had express passes, but we were able to ride everything by 2:30pm without the express. We went back to our hotel and had dinner before returning to Epic for the evening. We then Used the express passes and rode everything we wanted to again with much shorter wait times! We closed down the park with the water show and fireworks! Even rode the carousel at night (it was so beautiful in the dark!)
Shannon was so great to work with! She helped with all the minor details and how to get the best deals! I love that we got an annual pass because that helped with food and drink deals in the park! (Plus now it gives me a reason to go back before it expires! 😂)
We had a great car service from the airport to hotel and then from the hotel back to the airport! Reginaldo was so kind and friendly!
Thank you so much Shannon for making this trip so memorable for my family!
