An Epic Birthday Trip
Reviewed By HPfans0721 - Sanford, NC | Traveled to Universal Orlando | Florida | USA
Rocky was wonderful and did all the grunt work in creating an amazing trip to Universal Studios, Island of Adventure and Universal Epic. We are big Harry Potter fans and our son turned eleven- what better way than to go to Diagon Alley, ride the Hogwarts Express and cast some spells in all three parks. With Rocky’s great recommendation to stay at a Universal resort, we didn’t need to worry about transportation to and from the parks, we got in early before the general public, and maximized our fun! We had an epic trip and built memories to last a lifetime.
Rocky Dimico responded
"I'm so happy that you all enjoyed your trip and that it was a great time! You were so much fun to work with! I can't wait to help you plan your next trip! "

Japan trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By abeaver - Charlotte, NC | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
I'm so glad we found Rocky when planning our trip to Japan. He had recent experience with the exact trip we were hoping for. He quickly put together the itinerary and worked with us to customize dates, hotels, and experiences. He's incredibly responsive, scheduled meetings leading up to the trip to ensure we were prepared, shared valuable knowledge and was available to support the whole time. It was such a relief working with his experience, tips & recommendations. I would highly recommend working with Rocky and hope to again for future trips!

"Thank you so much! It was truly a pleasure working with all of you! I'm so glad you had such a great time on your trip! Best wishes and I'm here if you ever need anything! Thank you again!"

A HUGE help to plan our dream first trip to Japan and South Korea!!!
Reviewed By TheHams1012 - Tennessee | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Rocky was absolutely the best to work with! We came to him 2 months out before our trip and all we had was our flights booked and no clue what to do next. Rocky absolutely knocked it out of the park! He had the best recommendations and really listened to what we wanted to do while we were there! The hotels he booked were the best, and next time we are over there, we definitely want to stay in the same places! We also have a small issue with our flights home because of an airline delay, and he was very responsive and helpful with our questions. We highly recommend Rocky for all your travel needs!
Rocky Dimico responded
"Thank you so much for the kind words! You were both so easy to work with it made my job effortless. The pleasure was all mine! Thank you again, and I love that you enjoyed your trip! "

Top-notch travel agent!
Reviewed By Hayden & Maria - Auckland, Rotorua, Christchurch, Mt. Cook | Traveled to New Zealand | Australia & New Zealand
When I was looking for travel agents who booked New Zealand trips, I reached out to a lot of names. Rocky’s response by far the most professional, timely, and friendly, so we booked through him, and I’m so glad we did! Rocky was so supportive through every part of the planning and travel process. He met with us over video call and answered every question we had at any time. We felt guided both creatively and logistically. I’ve told so many people about how our honeymoon planning/booking process was a breeze, and that’s all thanks to Rocky. I would seriously recommend him to anyone! He is passionate and knowledgeable, and he really cares about crafting one-in-a-lifetime experiences for his clients. He’s there from planning to departure AND return! Also, if you’re a Lord of the Rings fan, Rocky’s your guy. We are so grateful for Flights and Fables!
