Ira was great - start to finish. Provided a variety of options for our group trip to Guancaste, Costa Rica. We stayed at Planet Hollywood- All Inclusive. The best buffett for every meal, my family really enjoyed the food whether on resort or off during our excursions planned through Viator with Ira’s help. The property was clean, the staff were friendly. Ira checked in before, during, and after to make sure everything from hotel transfers and the stay was set up, everything went very smoothly!

Our Wonderful Trip to Costa Rica!
Reviewed By BW - University Heights, OH | Traveled to Costa Rica | Central America
Ira was recommended to us by a close friend, who has used him repeatedly to plan trips abroad. We are so glad we listened to him and used Ira, because from start to finish, the experience was top notch! Ira is so generous with his time and such a good listener. He really wants to make sure you enjoy yourselves and that your trip is all you had hoped for. His efforts are so obviously not cookie cutter trip planning, but tailor made to the traveler. He talked to us at length about Costa Rica and what kind of sights and experiences we wished to have. He was precise about accommodations, transport preferences and locale. He made sure we had all of our documents and was very patient and "hand holding" through the process! He checked in on us several times, even during the trip, to make sure all was well and that we were enjoying ourselves! This is truly service that is above and beyond the norm. Ira even scheduled a feedback session this week, so that he could hear about the trip and

Ira ensures pure Joy-in-Action Vacation Adventures
Reviewed By Tonya - Upper Saddle River, NJ | Traveled to Norway | Europe
My sister and I had the pleasure of working with Ira Gross from Crave Getaways Travel for our Hurtigruten Northern Lights vacation cruise. I cannot express enough how outstanding Ira's service was throughout the entire planning, collaboration, and implementation of our unforgettable bucket list Norway vacation adventure.
Ira researched and identified Norway’s Hurtigruten Cruise, one of the only cruise lines which guarantees that we would see the Northern Lights (which were even more astounding than we ever imagined!). Ira also organized unforgettable excursions, including the Sami cultural experience, the Magical Igloo Ice Hotel in Alta, Vikings in Haugesund, Norway's rich heritage tours and enjoying mouthwatering local fish and the largest Underwater restaurant in the world called Under in Lindesnes, Norway. Waking up to views of the fjords, serene sea and mountain landscapes each morning from Hurtigruten’s Trollfjord Grand Suite was a terrific treat.

Anniversary Celebration Getaway
Reviewed By DMWeisman - W Caldwell, NJ | Traveled to Amsterdam ~ Netherlands ~ Europe
My husband and I worked with Ira from Crave Getaways to plan our anniversary vacation. He did a fantastic job! Ira made planning this vacation a breeze. He accommodated us by speaking with us in the evening . During calls he asked us about our prior vacations to get an idea of what we liked. His focus on where we wanted to stay really paid off. Ira excelled in finding us the right hotel, (size, location, American owned vs European)!! Ira also made excursions suggestions and sent links for easy review and booking. He made a restaurant recommendation to one of the best dinners we had. When Ira learned our return flight was cancelled, he reached out to remind us he was there in case we needed any help.
Ira, thank you for arranging an amazing trip. The whole trip went very smoothly, and we had the best anniversary celebration ever!! We are already starting to think about our next trip and how early we should give you call.
