My favorite travel memory

My favorite travel memory has to be the first time I traveled to Ireland with my mother, grandmother and sister. I was able to connect with so many friends and family members I had never met, and re-connect with people I hadn’t seen in a long time. Driving on the “wrong” side of the road (…and the “wrong” side of the car) took some getting used to, but it got easier as time went on!

My hobbies and pastimes

I’m a die hard Cubs fan (a rarity for a South Sider), I LOVE all things Beatles, I play guitar and drums when I can, play in the occasional pit orchestra, and I enjoy cooking and grilling.

My favorite travel destination

I’d have to say it’s a toss-up between Ireland and Las Vegas. I love the peaceful serenity of Ireland, along with the friendly people, but I also love the hustle and bustle, and energy of Las Vegas.

The personal touches that BRT provides. Your company gets to know the people they work with. I have never felt like a "number" with BRT.

I appreciated the flexibility Bob Rogers showed us with the billing and various payments we had to make. We thought we were adding more and ended up not but you were great about giving us extra time to work out what we needed to on our end.

BRT is always on top of all details. Even when something has slipped through the cracks, changed, or something unexpected comes up, BRT is flexible enough to make the changes needed to make everything right. We have always been so well taken care of and the personal attention is what makes your company special.

This was my 5th trip with Bob Rogers, and I appreciate the professionalism and also the willingness to work with me and my students to make each trip the very best it can be.

You make the process so easy - step-by-step of what needs to be done, guidance along the way, available (and quick) to respond to questions and making me feel like me and my students are your priority.

The quality of service that you provided us with was second to none. The organization and communication were exceptional and we always felt we were in “the loop” on things both before and during the trip.

BRT hands down has been the absolute best travel company I have worked with in my 18 years in education. My interactions with BRT have always been so much more than just traveling from one destination to another...the focus has always been on people and providing them with experiences of a lifetime.

Barry Houser

From the scheduling, to planning, to overseeing, to leading, to customer service, everyone involved was courteous, prompt, and hospitable. Everyone did their jobs well and turned the trip experience into something better than we had anticipated.

David Dvorak

Very Organized - even when problems develop. We've gone on enough trips with Bob Rogers to know how BRT operates - always first class, always prepared.

Joe Carl

The whole BRT team was extremely attentive, accommodating and reliable. Every detail was attended to and my stress level the entire trip was at an all-time low.
