He booked our Scotland Trip and It was a blast!
Reviewed By Nischit - Laurel, MD | Traveled to
My buddies and I always wanted to to go Scotland. So, one evening I emailed Steve to book the trip for the from July 3rd - 10th, 2016. He asked what we wanted to do, where we wanted to stay. I told him I had no idea, and for him to take care of it. He did just that: he booked the 5-day Highland Tour with Rabbie's and our hotel accommodations, including our transfers. He had never booked a Scotland trip for anyone prior, and this was his first. He came back a couple days later with all the info, and I told him to go ahead and book. Well, here I am after and we had the best time ever! The 5-day Highland Tour was fun, the hotel stays were great, and we never had to worry about anything. I'm always going to use Steve for all my bookings.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Cruising through World Ports with Steve M.
Reviewed By SCB - Scarborough, ME | Traveled to Norway ~ Europe
I've known Steve Mencik for many years, both as a travel agent and from a professional working relationship with a Federal Government agency. He's always been a great person to coordinate our vacations with and he's been doing travel work with us for over 20 years. He's very thorough and not hesitant in working travel arrangements with a variety of travel resources. He has always researched every option available to get us the best accommodations, the best perks and the best discounts available for each and every trip. In 2017, we moved from Maryland to Maine, yet we continue to use his expertise in scheduling our major vacations. He's that good. Since we've started with Steve, we've cruised to Alaska three times, Hawaii, the British Isles, and Norway-Iceland. We're currently working with him on a 15-day Scotland-Ireland rail excursion for 2025. All have been successful.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A very relaxing vacation

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
