Polite, friendly and they always have a smile. I would never plan a trip without them because they handle everything. It’s just great.

I travel with a friend from Kansas City, and we have used World Travel Service for many of our trips over the past 21 years. Our last trip was a Mediterranean Cruise in Oct 2025 which was amazing! Since we live in two different states, it adds some complexity to our vacations which they handle beautifully. Mona and Cori are amazing and arrange transportation from the airport to our hotel (we usually go a day or two before a cruise or tour starts) and the starting point for our cruise or tour as well as any transportation to the airport at the end our trip. Any questions I have had are quickly answered and if they don't have an answer, they will research it and get back to me usually the same day. I/we will definitely use them again.

I recently had the pleasure of working with World Travel Service in to plan my trip, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and incredibly positive. Mona and Cori were absolutely wonderful; both were exceptionally nice and attentive to all my questions and needs. It was especially reassuring to know that they were both willing to step in and assist if the other was out of the office, which speaks volumes about their team-oriented approach and dedication to client support. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking to plan a trip. It's truly a great feeling to support such a responsive and professional small business right here in our community.

They just pulled off a 10 day trip to Hawaii for us within two weeks of departure! Really worked hard to get this together.

Great experience when planning our Europe trip with the help of Cori Mattes. She was most helpful as it is our first trip to Europe and we had no idea where to stay or what excursions to select both in Rome and Barcelona.
