Bobbie, we cannot thank you enough for making our family trip to Hawaii a huge success! We had an amazing time and made memories that will last forever. With your help and careful planning everything went off without a hitch! The kids especially loved the zip lining tour! Our guides were so much fun and made the experience even more enjoyable. From planning time to relax to planning fun and adventurous excursions, you definitely out-did yourself once again! Thanks to you, we have another unbelievable trip that we will reminisce about forever! –Lois and Paul Reis and adult kids. December 2011

Bobbie put together the adventure of a lifetime for us to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. Galapagos Islands on the Celebrity Expedition was incredible – truly almost every moment like a scene from the National Geographic Channel. The next part of our South American adventure was a breath- taking train ride and hike up to Machu Picchu, a truly awe-inspiring trip. All of our travel details worked out flawlessly thanks to the expertise of Bobbie Murphy. Looking forward to putting together our next trip with Bobbie, she is full of great ideas!!

Before we worked together planning our vacation we were all overwhelmed with where to start and how to narrow down our choices. Once we started working with Bobbie, she helped to streamline our choices, gave us some suggestions to make our trip more enjoyable and stress free…no decisions while on vacation! We just followed her guidelines and suggestions and the entire trip went off without a hitch! We would never have known or thought about the Spanish Riding School. We were amazed watching the lipizzaner horses dance around the arena! If anyone questions the value of Active Travel Pro’s services, please have them call or email me. I’ll be happy to talk to them about it.

I am a brand loyalty guy. I stick with what works for me (value, attention to detail, execution). I’m back for a third time requesting help on a European excursion that has some unique requirements and constraints. I have confidence Bobbie will find best value for me – workable solutions with personalized services at reasonable prices.
- Past examples:
- Arranged point-to-point ground transportation on two separate tours of Italy – all pre-paid and pre-ticketed. What a great convenience!
- Recommended and arranged personal tour of Pompeii to get the most out of a short stopover on the way from Sorrento to Rome.
- Knowing my culinary interests, recommended and arranged a “Day with the Chef” for cooking lessons in Ravello. My older daughter loved it!
- When organizing our second trip to Italy, went to work and tracked down our friendly driver from the Amalfi Coast region who transported us from Naples to Sorrento on our first trip. The two trips were five years apart. Unbelievable! It was so great to reconnect with our friend on the second trip.
- Bobbie is now helping us put together a two-week excursion through France, Switzerland, and Northern Italy. Her ideas on stopovers, mini-tours, and the like are providing many attractive options that makes it hard to decide on final agenda. But that’s what I want from an agent. Explore the possibilities and help us narrow down our choices, based on time availability and costs.

I didn’t know what to expect when my boyfriend said let’s get a travel agent to plan our vacation. We both work full time jobs but it’s not like we can’t plan our own vacation. However after dealing with Bobbie, I wouldn’t want it any other way! She is so friendly and understanding about every different situation. I honestly think we went from wanting one vacation to ending up on another, but it was perfect for us. We told her the important things we were looking for in a vacation and the type of budget we were working on and she sent us all very realistic options. We ended up booking a cruise in the western Caribbean for the beginning of December 2016. She is a wealth of knowledge and was able to advise us about different/fun/important things to do at each stop along our cruise which was that extra step that truly helped us have our perfect vacation. She also went out of her way to give us some ideas and places to go while we had our long layover in Miami. She was very quick to respond to our questions, and many we had since we had zero idea what we were doing, and was always easy to get in contact with. We had a great conversation before the cruise that “calmed our nerves” and got us ready for our trip. I have nothing but kind words for Bobbie and appreciate everything she did for us. I can’t wait to see what vacation we plan next with Bobbie!

Our honeymoon was amazing thank you so much!! We had a bit of a learning curve going through the Cancun airport but it was smooth sailing from there. What a great first time out of the country! I posted a lot of photos on my Facebook page if you want to go check them out! We had so much fun and got to relax too!

We would recommend Bobbie to any of our friends who want a travel expert to plan their trip to Costa Rica. Bobbie arranged our hotels, transportation, and tours and everything worked out great!
