Highly recommended by our customers

Excellent work by agent Daniel
Hello I want to share my experience by changing the items of my booking order. The carrier company changed the departure time and I had to change the date. I am very appreciative of the excellent work by agent Daniel, who did everything possible and impossible to fulfill my request. This fact shows the respect of the employee to each client and it is perceived as part of the personal. I received complete satisfaction from the service. In this case I would also like to note the professional work of agents Carlos and Leo. Thank You very very much Best wishes from Oleg Gordin
