Bolds Travel: Beverly and Mitch
We were instantly impressed with Beverly and Mitch when we met them on a yacht cruise in Ecuador. Beverly has been in the travel advisor/travel agent world since the 1980s.
She founded Bolds Travel, their travel agency, in 2016 after decades of experience working under the umbrella of another agency. Her husband, Mitch, retired from a career in chemical sales and joined her in 2022.)
They're a DREAM TEAM making travelers' adventures a reality.
Dan and I were so impressed with their work ethic. They respond to emails as quickly as possible (within the hour in most cases) during the work week and work day. They were even problem-solving a couple's travel plans from the Pacific Ocean as we cruised on our luxury vacation to help the couple deal with canceled flights (which was no fault of Beverly and Mitch's, but they sprung into action to assist ASAP.)
As people who value communication, Bolds Travel's incredible response times were a key indicator as to why we wanted to partner with them. We are elated to recommend them for your travel bookings. Because, ultimately, who we recommend – including the trips we write about here – reflects on us. And we want the best for everyone!
Additionally, they're a couple who travels the world together, like Dan and me, and they truly like each other! (We all know couples who don't like each other, right?) So much of their demeanor together reminded Dan and me of our relationship.
Recommending Bolds Travel means that you don't get people behind a desk who haven't experienced what they are recommending. They have walked the talk and know the products and luxury experiences on the market.
