✨ We will arrange the most spectacular hotel for you with the best location!

✨ Our happy clients can confirm ⬇️

“Becca, our Italy trip was absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for organizing everything so perfectly! We loved all of our hotels because they were so unique and very well located. I especially loved the Donna Camilla Savelli Hotel in Rome because it is a beautifully converted convent with many retained features of the original structure.

All three areas of Italy we visited were absolutely amazing, and there’s no way I could pick a favorite. So much beauty everywhere! I have included a few pictures [below] to show how much fun we were having but it was impossible to completely capture that it in a photo. Our days were planned perfectly with one scheduled event per day with no schedule on travel days. All of our tour guides were fabulous, and we learned so much on every tour. We also had plenty of time to explore on our own, and we took full advantage.

Thanks again for the wonderful memories!”

⭐️ Our expert travel advisors get to know our clients on a personal level and are always on-deck to make those extra calls, answer any questions and give extra support on anything that comes up.

✨ Read a sparkling client testimonial below that highlights the importance of our personal touch. ⬇️

“ Rebecca Arkins blew us away with her wonderful Italy itinerary! She’s very charismatic and most importantly a very good listener. We are a family of four and she thoughtfully planned each city adventure so well. We talked a few times prior to the trip to make sure everything was in place. She was very generous with her time. From the activities to the hotels every part of our trip was tremendous. We visited 4 different cities so it was a very detailed process and she was more than up for the task! Becca has been to Italy countless times so if that’s your choice, she is the one for you. We enjoyed a cooking class in Florence, e-biking in Cinque Terre, Coliseum and Vatican tours, and a winery tour near Chianti and so much more. All of the details were seamless. And it was honestly our best vacation to date!! I highly recommend Becca’s services for any international destination.”

✨ Here at Viking Travel Service we give our clients peace of mind when they travel.

⭐️ We personally vet cruises, properties and tour operators, so that what you’re experiencing is top-notch and runs smoothly.

✨ Take it from our happy client, Laura Chapman, whose experience with a vetted guide left quite an impression:

“My husband and I just returned from a one week Viking Cruise around Iceland. It was the perfect vacation! Everything was planned out without a hitch. We truly never had to think! From Iceland, we flew to Ireland and were greeted by our driver Mossy who drove us all around the island. He was so knowledgeable and couldn’t have been nicer! I cried when we said our goodbyes. Laura Lukasik was the best organizer and we would recommend her to anyone!”

✨ Thanks for the great review, Laura! We understand that amazing connection with a tour guide. They make all the difference!

✔️ Ready for that bucket-list trip but overwhelmed at the prospect of planning it?

⬇️ Check out what our clients are saying about how our expert travel advisor, Laura Lukasik, crafted yet another bucket-list trip for them:

“We have been working with Laura Lukasik as our travel agent for years and she is outstanding. She has meticulously planned our trips to Hawaii, Bora Bora, Italy & Greece, to name a few. But with our most recent trip to Scotland, she went above and beyond. She organized the many specific rounds of golf my husband had requested, selected exceptional hotels along the route and provided many options for the non-golfers. This was another amazing trip we can check off our bucket-list.

Laura is always there to provide assistance if and when there are any unforeseen travel issues that may come up. This added service is invaluable, especially in a foreign country, and why I have found using a travel agent is so important.

We will continue to refer her to all our friends and family, as we know she is the best!

We look forward to working with Laura on our next bucket-list trip!”

✨ Thanks for the wonderful review, Lisa. We are thrilled you and your family had an amazing time in Scotland!
