Luxury Family Vacations: Make Lasting Travel Memories

“I’d never used a travel agency before, but working with you was awesome — we’ll now be booking all of our travel through Southern Travel Agency. You made it very easy!”

“We worked with Mike Kerbelis to plan our destination wedding at Beaches Turks & Caicos, and he was always there for me. He organized a wonderful email to my list of guests and touched base with them about booking flights and deposits, and he kept them on track about money due dates. Southern Travel Agency also had a relationship with the Beaches general manager, which helped us get “perks” like a room upgrade when there technically weren’t any available, and reserving the hibachi restaurant in advance.

“We’d worked with Jane at Southern Travel Agency before to arrange all the details of a previous trip — so we had confidence in her. All the arrangements for our AmaWaterways river cruise were made through her. Prior to departing, we met with her in person and she went over the trip step by step and helped us with all the paperwork. We had confidence she’d put together a river cruise trip we’d enjoy — and she did.”

“We would like to recommend Southern Travel Agency in Augusta, GA. Our representative Jane, was especially helpful in arranging an ocean cruise from Los Angeles to Ft. Lauderdale through the Panama Canal. She provided us with excellent comparisons of available ocean cruises so we could decide which best fit our needs. Due to complications from knee replacement surgery, I am not able to walk long distances. Jane was most helpful in arranging for a handicapped accessible cabin. She also suggested a company where we were able to rent a motorized scooter.

“We were planning our small all inclusive destination wedding in Barbados, but Delta cancelled their flights unexpectedly. I had to change the date of the wedding and the resort or else a lot of my guests wouldn’t be able to go. Once I found out Barbados wasn’t going to work, Mike Kerbelis and his team went over the top to help me. I spent a whole Saturday with him. He said, ‘Show me what you want and we’ll work from there.’ And he did it!

“When we’re trying to put a big group of us together for our medical mission trips, we need someone who can roll with the punches — and Mike does. He coordinates everyone’s travel schedules, and he even helped us with ticket issues getting back into the country. He handles everything!”

“I’ve used Southern Travel Agency for a long time, and I’ve never had a bad vacation. They’re very efficient and good with complicated logistics. My whole family goes on group trips together, but often we’ll arrive at the destination separately at different times — trying to keep that straight myself is confusing. But the travel agents at Southern Travel Agency know what they’re doing, and if there’s ever a problem I have a number to call. They’re very enthusiastic, do wonderful research,

“”We just returned from a two-week honeymoon at the Sandals resorts in Barbados and Grenada, planned by Southern Travel Agency – it was all so beautiful! As a true beach lover, I really appreciated how the atmosphere and focus of direction at the Barbados resort revolved around the incredible beach. Almost every restaurant had a full beach view. Thank you to Mike for finding the right fit for us. He truly listened to what we are looking for before making suggestions,

"And the butler service was amazing — we just had to tell our butler what we wanted to do and when, and he made it happen. One afternoon we were surprised with a drawn bubble bath with chilled champagne and shrimp cocktail in our room! We’re already working with Mike to plan a family vacation to a Beaches property next. Mike has an incredible knowledge about the resorts, and he takes into account our personal tastes. When he tells us ‘I know what you want,’ he always delivers."

“It gives me great comfort to know that if a problem arises while I’m out of the country, Southern Travel Agency can take care of it on their end. Mike and his team make me feel safe when I’m in a foreign country. I know they have my back no matter where I am. They’ll get it worked out and fixed for me. Thank you!”

“We have been using Southern Travel for years and they’ve booked numerous trips for us (including all three of my children’s honeymoons). Mike and the staff are great. They have lots of experience, so they can help you plan a fabulous trip while getting the most for your dollar. And when the airlines change flights or the unexpected comes up, they are just a phone call away and take care of everything. I highly recommend Southern Travel.”

“We worked with Southern Travel Agency travel expert Jane, and she gave a lot of advice on what to do on our trip through France. She took care of all planning and paperwork for us, and she did a great job. When we told her that we wanted to spend extra time in Paris, it was not a problem. While we live in Augusta, we flew out of Atlanta, so we drove to airport. Coming back from Europe, we got in at 9 at night,

“I just wanted to personally say thank you for all your help in making our honeymoon AMAZING! You were with us 100% of the way, and for that, you have customers for life! We are already looking forward to working with you again in years to come.”

“Between the amazing amenities and friendliness, we felt completely pampered on our recent honeymoon at Sandals LaSource Grenada, planned by Mike at Southern Travel Agency. We couldn’t walk by anyone who worked there without them saying “hello,” and often engaging us in questions on how we liked the island. And the butler service was amazing — we just had to tell our butler what we wanted to do and when, and he made it happen. One afternoon we were surprised with a drawn bubble bath with chilled champagne and shrimp cocktail in our room!

“I know a lot of people book their travel online, but the biggest disadvantage of doing that is you have no one to turn to if you ever have a problem. I’ve been using Southern Travel Agency for years, and I appreciate having somebody I can call who can get a problem taken care of — which saves us from ruining the whole trip!”

“I had a wonderful experience working with Lauren to plan a Viking European river cruise trip through Eastern Europe. She was a great help. When I wanted to book this package I sent her an email of what I wanted, and started with the “oh by the ways …” — she gladly took care of all of my special requests. She took care of getting us Delta Comfort seats, and she dealt with a little hiccup just a day before we left.

“The Sandals staff at Emerald Bay was so accommodating. There were so many restaurants to choose from and the spa was outstanding. Not to mention that magnificent blue water! We’re so glad we used Mike to plan our trip, and we will continue to use him. He made great suggestions on places we should go, made all the reservations, and supplied us with travel documents with an itinerary. All we had to do was just show up at the airport!”

“My summer travel plans had gotten too complicated for me to handle myself. I walked in to Southern Travel Agency, talked with Mike Kerbelis, and soon had everything worked out. I will go back here the next vacation I need to plan. Everyone in the office was friendly and helpful. I am very pleased with my experience.”

“We had the most marvelous time of our lives on this cruise. I’ve never thought that I would be spoiled and pampered as I did for my birthday. The staff treated me like I was the only passenger on the ship, and the food — omg! you couldn’t get enough; they had so much of a variety to choose from! I want to thank you for your help on choosing this cruise for us and I’m already looking forward to next year!”
