Patricia has always planned amazing trips for us - making sure we book the best tours and get the best service wherever we are. This trip to Europe was no exception. We had a wonderful time on and off land and were constantly mentioning how wonderful of a job she did at every turn making sure we were having a top-quality vacation. We get experiences on her recommended tours that you simply can't get booking yourself online and our travel is always seemless and fun. We never worry and she's always following up to make sure we have our documents and plans ready to travel. I never worry when I'm with Patricia. What a wonderful trip - I can't wait for our next trip!
- Jessica A.Excellent ! She is attentive and meticulously precise.
- Young L.Patricia Klippel was very helpful in researching alternatives and finding the best connections for my trip to Greece.
- Donald C.When we met Patricia in January, we were very impressed with her giving us her full attention, as we described the kind of month we wanted to have in Europe in June. She booked our flights immediately! Wow! We were thrilled! But, then, somewhere along the way, she didn't book reservations at the hotels we mentioned. By the time, it got closer to our trip, I had to call the hotels myself & the only rooms left were super expensive VIP suites! It's possible it was our fault that the ball got dropped. We're not sure. Just be clear about WHEN you want everything to booked.
- Bruce O.She was very efficient, as always.
- Rosalind S.Patricia was a great advisor from the beginning. She was courteous, helpful, professional and knowledgeable in assisting me in my travel arrangements for a trip in a lifetime to Italy with Stanford Alumni. Patricia's superlative features were revealed when I learned that an air controllers strike was scheduled for the day I was to arrive in Florence. With barely four days notice, Patricia and her support teams provided me with alternative flight arrangements to arrive a day earlier to avoid the strike, an overnight hotel stay in the gorgeous Brunelleschi hotel, and a guided tour of the Uffizzi the next morning to take advantage of my new found time in Florence! Throughout this adventure, Patricia remained engaging, helpful and professional. Her participation not only saved my vacation from serious disruption, she added significantly more joy to my experience. Thank you, Patricia!
- Mary M.Excellent!!! I have worked with Patricia for a number of years and have always had excellent service. She anticipates my needs and responds accordingly--never a glitch. Patricia is efficient, competent and responsive. All the trips she ha planned for me have been superior due to her diligence and desire to provide the very finest experience possible.
- Sheila H.Good job - well done!
- George M.She is fast, accurate and responsive, and adjusts quickly to changes. I have worked with her for several years now and I feel comfortable with her. My husband sometimes wonders if she has found us the cheapest available flights.
- Gloria G.Patricia's recommended flights, transfers, and hotels suited us perfectly. There was time to make connections, but not too long waiting. We traveled in comfort, and with great pleasure. There were no "hiccups". We are very grateful.
- Jerome R.Patricia planned a trip for me when I was overwhelmed trying to plan it for myself. It was a college trip to see four schools in three states in a handful of days. I tried to figure out the puzzle myself and just couldn't! Patricia's itinerary was perfect and magical -- I am not quite sure how she was able to do it! The hotels, cars, flights, everything was perfect and the presentation folder of all the plans made my life super easy. I am so grateful!
- Leslie R.Extremely good job making reservations per our particular requests. VERY pleased and grateful! Thank you, Patricia
- Charles D.She is great as an advisor !!
- Young L.Patricia Klippel knows what she is doing. She works fast to get hotel locations and transport options that work. I trust her to listen well and find what I need. She is warm, pleasant and has a good sense of humor. And she is very, very smart.
- Gloria G.Great ! She is really accommodating.
- Young L.cordial, adequate, provided requested advice and services
- Stephen G.She researched many options and came up with excellent flight options and booked our flights to and from France.
- George M.Patricia was very knowledgeable and helped us tend to all the trip details - especially the somewhat complex task of getting Russian visas. She was easy to reach with questions about airline regulations, luggage limits, etc. I plan to work with Patricia on future trips.
- Robert A.She's the best. We always have her plan all of our vacations!
- James M.Very pleasant and efficient. Options were clearly explained.
- Carol W.Patricia planned a wonderful trip to England and to several destinations in France. She found perfect hotels and a great side tour in England. She booked us on a small plane to Southern France where we stayed for 5 days. We continued on our trip with a comfortable train ride to Paris and we finished our trip with 2 days in Versailles. She found perfect hotels in each place. There were no problems with the plane and train tickets she booked for us. We were especially grateful to have such a knowledgeable agent. On our own, we would never have been able to find the excellent hotels, side trips and in general, enjoyed such a well planned trip. Patricia's knowledge was impressive and she was effective in planning our dream trip.
- Beth C.She was great to work with. Very patient with all the changes and everything worked perfectly.
- Fred A.Patricia was very helpful and responsive to our many requests for information and changes.
- Andrea W.Patricia was extremely helpful, very detailed and very prompt to answer any question or request. Also very personable. High marks!!!!
- Joan W.Patricia was more than patient with me arranging flights and hotels within Thailand. She has many travel groups and hotels she regularly works with. Patricia seamlessly arranged six flights for my family of four within Thailand and to Cambodia. She also taught me the phrase "western plumbing". :) I will contact Patricia again for our next family adventure!
- Claudia K.She was informative, up to date on all changes, easy to communicate with and available with important information.
- Bonnie R.She did a good job working out a complex schedule
- Saul W.Very helpful and quick responses. Booked a great trip for us.
- John G.Patricia Klippel is sharp and creative and responsive. She has many clients, understandably; my only concern is that at times she gets tied up and cannot get back to me as quickly as I would like. But that is a mostly minor concern.
- Gloria G.She was very efficient in making our air reservations from SFO to Tel Aviv and back for a Stanford trip.
- George M.Great! She is attentive and meticulously precise in getting things done. I am very satisfied working with her whenever I make a trip.
- Young L.Great!.I will always call Patricia.
- Rachel W.Just fine. She took good care of things. No worries.
- David G.Patricia was helpful, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Was responsive in a timely manner as well.
- Priscilla C.She was great. We gave her a very challenging itinerary, and she found small airports and made it all work. My only concern was maybe 1 hour transfer time in OHare was too short - our luggage did not make it from Air Canada to Alaska Air - took 30 hours to catch up to us, with many calls from us. But I must say, Alaska Air pushed away from the gate 20 minutes early!! So maybe any late luggage couldn't have made it. As it was, we were huffing and puffing getting from terminal 2 to terminal 3, and were surprised Alaska flight was mostly boarded.
- Shand G.Patricia handled all our travel needs efficiently, knowingly, and promptly. Kept us informed of all travel time changes as they arose. We were very pleased with her service!
- Harold B.Very pleasant and gratifying. She is helpful and knowledgeable. She knows the travel business and provides great advice. I have worked with her a couple of times and will continue to do so.
- Edward S.Patricia did an excellent job of coordinating our trip with Stanford travel to Australia. Unfortunately we were unable to go because of medical reasons. She helped us navigate getting our insurance to refund our trip money and the airlines to refund our tickets.
- Margaret C.She is easy to work with, came up with options and communicated well. Still, the travel was more difficult than I like. Some of the difficulty was with the airlines--flights were delayed, one for almost twelve hours and one for and hour or two. The problem came because we didn't have enough slack in our connection times, so we had to run from Domestic terminal to International terminal, etc. As it turned out several flights were delayed so we made our connection but it was high stress. Not what I like on a vacation. In retrospect, we should have flown into Hilo and not Kona. I think she made the decision; I don't know why. I would think she would be tuned into the geography of Hawaii. The service that you used to notify us of flight delays/changes was hopelessly too late to be of value.
- Saul W.I do not know who Patricia Klippel is. She did not plan my trip.
- Peter H.Excellent nothing more at this time.
- Patricia C.She was very helpful in setting up the flights and saved us a bunch of money. She also responded quickly to our requests for changes. We had one problem that remains a mystery. United Airlines wouldn't let us on our Richmond to Chicago flight and also our San Francisco to Auckland flight because of some clerical error regarding our nonexistent and not-required visas. The system had to be overridden by hand - twice. Thankfully, we insisted on long layovers just in case.
- Michael H.Easy and efficient
- Raggio C.As always, Patricial Klippel is responsive and effective ... in regard to choice of hotel (she particularly helped with location) and choice of rental car agency (saved us money). I hope to continue to work with her.
- Gloria G.Patricia has done a number of trips for me, and her service is always professional, timely and detailed. She goes well beyond my expectations in every aspect of my travel. She serves my needs with kindness and caring and responds to my every desire.
- Sheila H.Patricia did the flight arrangements for our Stanford Alumni trip. The schedule was great, the connections were good and a long trip was far easier to deal with because the flight arrangements were well done!
- Mary G.I am very unhappy with the service provided by Worldview Travel. They promoted themselves, in order that I pay $90 for services, as a full service reservation. After I paid, I heard NOTHING beyond a flight number and confirmation. I think I should be refunded my $90.
- Mary H.She was very easy to work with and very responsive.
- Merrill N.Patricia is excellent. She has helped me several times with often complex reservations. She knows her field and her customer's needs. I will definitely be using her services for my next trip.
- Edward S.Fell and broke my hip. Patricia was very understanding. Trip to be rescheduled.
- Rachel W.All went very well withy our air arrangements and it was a difficult job putting it all together. Well done!!
- George M.Got us the fights we wanted and followed up on seat assignments when they were in doubt!
- Cary H.she is very helpful and makes sure things are just as you want them to be
- Harold K.
