Here one success story from a travel advisor: 
"This past weekend was the most challenging weekend of my entire career. The only reason I survived is because of Jenny, the Travel Angel. 
I have booked several clients with Alive this summer and have gotten rave reviews from all my clients about their experiences with their Travel Angels (Sara, Pietro, and Elena) It wasn’t until this weekend that I really got to experience Travel Angel service in person. 
I have a client traveling in Paris this weekend - the Wilson family. We had a serious breakdown in procedure in my office, which resulted in a VERY last-minute booking, and me making reservations in a hurry for some hard-to-get activities (Eiffel Tower summit access and the Catacombs) myself through Viator - SOMETHING I WILL NEVER DO AGAIN. 
Not only did Jenny answer every single question the client could throw at her, but she also jumped in and helped solve the challenges that I had created. She encouraged and supported me when I literally thought my head was going to explode. 
I’ve been a fan of aliveXperiences for a while, but my experience with Jenny this weekend has won you all my undying love and devotion. I am a lifelong fan."
