We took this cruise because you had covert fares AND we wanted to see the pyramids for the first time. Wonderful trip.
Client Reviews of Pam
Pam and her crew are very informed and helpful. They always respond quickly.
We have used the service of Pam, and will call on her again when we decided to take our next trip.
I appreciated access to your staff when I needed it.
We were very pleased with our experience with Pavlus Travel. We referred folks on the cruise to use your agency next time they travel.
Pavlus Travel with its amazing and awesome staff are so incredibly attentive and responsive with calls/inquiries making me feel valued and confident with each and every trip planned, Thank you! I am truly so very fortunate to know Pam, my travel consultant, who has taken care of all the travels for me and my family for over 20 years! She always goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is taken into account to maximize enjoyment and our experience on every trip :) This last trip I just came back from a week ago is another example of Pam’s wonderful and efficient perfect booking. I just came back from the Northern Lights and Alaska Trafalgar tour, which was astounding and exhilarating even in the very cold :) Pam’s attention to details and commitment to excellence are exemplary and praiseworthy! Pam is patient, kind and attentive. It was so refreshing and inspirational to have someone who is always so present and caring, making each the best experience possible. Pam cares to make the difference and celebrates in our happiness and enjoyment in every splendid journey!
The Uniworld Tour exceeded our expectations and Pavlus Travel provided us with more of a discount than we could have obtained on our own. Thank you!
Great cruise at a great price. Pam always does a good job booking for me. Thanks!
I appreciate the extras you do with our travel.
With regards to Pavlus (and specifically Pam)....always very responsive and professional....10 out of 10! We have done 3 Regents...one Celebrity...and have booked future cruises on Explora and Viking. In every case....I feel we have received a fair deal and professional service.
Oceania was excellent as always. A very friendly relaxed ,but tefined atmosphere. Made only better by the service of Pavlus. Thanks again.
We greatly appreciate working with Pam and continue to recommend her to people we meet in our travels.
Your entire team is focused now prompt, professional, and quality service. Always a delight to work with. Wishing all a happy and blessed New Year.
Pam always does a great job. Much appreciated.
Pam is a superb agent, she is genuinely concerned for providing the best value and available options to ensure our voyages are the best they could be. Things don't always work out as planned as circumstances unfortunately cause cancellations, cruise preference and date changes. Without delay Pam works things out for us, she has earned our trust. Other Pavlus employees we have dealt with have also provided excellent service. Keep up the good work, we will do our best to promote Pavlus Travel at every opportunity.
Pam is the best.. Awesome trip. Thank you Pavlus
Pablo’s, all good !!!!!!
This was my 4th Trafalgar tour taken this year. Loved every aspect of this trip to Portugal which made it so fantastic and memorable! I cannot thank and praise Pam enough for making sure all the details were taken care of for another successful trip in every way. Pam is an inspiration and such a comfort all these years of taking care of each and every trip with great attention to details and with efficiency. Pam is so stellar and exceptionally caring which makes all the difference! It has been my pleasure and privilege to have Pam implement the plans and therefore wishes comes true❤️Thanks for sharing this praising feedback with Pam, who I greatly appreciate and am so grateful to❤️Pam, indeed, represents the best part of Pavlus which is incomparable and extraordinary customer service, care and attention
This was a great cruise experience! We appreciate Pam making the arrangements, not only for cruise, but also for flight and transfer. Everything went smoothly, no problems! Thank you!
Having been referred by my sister, I was thoroughly satisfied with the pleasant and professional attitude Pam consistently displayed. The accommodations and excursions, on both sides of the magnificent cruise, were so convenient and the guides were excellent each step of the way. Being new to cruises, Pavlus and Regent exceeded my expectations. I had the time of my life! Thank you for this amazing experience!!
We enjoy working with Pam at Pavlus.
We always receive prompt, professional, and friendly service.
Pam was very helpful to me in booking me and my family members in all of our needed changes over several months. She is the best!!
New to Palvus but pleased. I have already used them again.
I absolutely will return and use Pavlus - in fact I already have booked another Oceania cruise with Pavlus. Thank you for all that you do!
I was very happy with my service and my tour company.
Pam is a great travel advisor. She is thorough and timely. Will continue with Pavlus. I think it's great you added an emergency phone number for after hour calls regarding flight problems. We haven't needed it with you, but have in the past and I think it's important!
Pam has always been very responsive to our inquiries. She is well-informed but if she doesn't know an answer to our questions she will get the information to us in a timely manner. We have recommended her to our friends and they have agreed with us that she is a great agent.
I booked this Trafalgar Iceland tour for Sept 2025 with Pam. Pam is such an inspiration and it is with confidence and gladness that I have Pam take care of the planning and reservation. This Iceland trip was fantastic, remarkable and amazing! Pam's attention to details and care are admirable and praiseworthy to say the least. It has been such a pleasure and privilege to have Pam take such excellent and exemplary care of me in every way with this trip and every trip :) With so much appreciation and gratitude for Pam and all she does ❤️
Wouldn't use anyone else. Pam Chaves is fantastic.
Pam provided excellent service; she was attentive, efficient, knowledgeable, and helpful. We were extending our Globus tour (2 additional days in Calgary); Pam offered a suggestion for accommodations; the hotel that she recommended was perfect (location/amenities, etc.).
My sister and I have used Pavlus Travel for many years and have been very satisfied with their service and recommendations. I also appreciate Pavlus' prompt responses to any questions we might have. Many thanks for your excellent travel offers and advice.
Pam and the guest service team are fantastic!!!!!
Pam has been my travel advisor at Pavlus for many years and I am very happy for all she has done to make my trip experiences enjoyable. I feel she is a friend even though we have never met in person. I am pleased to get the Pavlus rebates for all the trips I have taken. I recently booked a cruise and was pleasantly surprised to learn that Pavlus was able to give me a lower rate than what was quoted by the cruise line.
Our 1st time Viking ocean cruise was excellent. The Viking Vela was new & nicely designed. The crew staff were personable & attentive. Pam is also an excellent travel planner. Overall, we enjoyed our cruise.
My son and I went on a Trafalgar tour called Best of Eastern Canada this past month. Pam, who has been our planner for over 2 decades, expeditiously and perfectly took care of the reservation & details. I want to highlight that it is Pam that brings the inspiration and success to each and every trip with all her care and attention to details, which makes all the difference! She is fast, efficient and astute about all the important details as well as the follow-ups to make everything always go so well. That is quite a track record for over 20 years! Pam is the best and I cannot applaud, celebrate and praise her enough for being the best and always so caring for our happiness❤️ Know that my family and I are greatly appreciative and grateful to Pam, who is so stellar and exemplary in making sure each of our experiences, including this one is fantastic and memorable! These trips are priceless as they allow for wonderful memories that last a lifetime and more! - A loyal and joyful customer for over 20 years
Pam does a great job!
We appreciate the guidance of Pam's advice in selecting the cruise, which was the right ship and itinerary, and is what this is all about. The Pavlus support staff Samantha, Denise and Chey were evermore impressive, persistently handling our issues with airline upgrades, adjusting airline schedules with Silversea, a transportation debacle, and simple, yet essential numerous travel clarifications for us.
I have booked several tours with Pam over the years and she has been very helpful and committed to making our trips memorable.
Fabulous vacation.Tauck never disappoint.
We really enjoy working with Pam.
Couldn't be happier dealing with Pam and your air depth. So far an excellent experience
Pam Tafoya is the best. Always helpful and responds quickly. I passed out several of her referral cards explaining to folks Pavlus can save them money!
I really appreciate that you now offer hotel rooms to add to our booking. Pam Chavez is a super travel consultant!
We LOVE dealing with Pavlus ( and Pam and Michael have been wonderful.) We have referred friends....and will continue to do so.
We will!
Globus missed the mark on 2 of the hotel. After Palermo, first hotel had no air, but more importantly no hot water in shower. The food, breakfast all good, love pasta, but only had meat once( chicken) til last night had sausage and meatball. First stop was 3 eggplant dishes. Was good, but we were on an island, no fish? Guide and bus driver were great!!!
You do it all
Pam has gone fine job again --
It is with great appreciation and gratitude that I come back to praise Pam for taking care of my reservation for this Trafalgar tour. She inspires confidence and comfort as a repeat return customer with Pavlus every year for over 20 years. I know with Pam, all shall go well in the best way possible :) Pam is always so attentive, responsive and exceeds expectations in keeping me informed and current to all the happenings that makes planning and the trip successful in every way! I feel so fortunate to have Pam to go back to whenever I am ready to plan the next trip with Pavlus. I just came back from my most recent tour with Trafalgar and am so delighted and grateful for how great the trip was, thanks to Pam’s excellent organization and attention to details to ensure all would go well. I want also take this opportunity to thank the wonderful friendly Pavlus staff for answering and following up with confirmatory information. It has, all in all, been an amazing and awesome experience with Pavlus! THANK YOU❤️
Pan does an excellent job for me.
Because Pam is beyond excellent in her job, every detail was managed so that all we had to do is get on board and enjoy! Her personality, her ethics, her knowledge of the industry, and her responsiveness is always a 10+ and I’m sure Pavlus knows what an asset she is to the company. – not to mention her customers. We have referred Pavlus/Pam to several people.
Pam and the Guest Services team do a fantastic job!
Pam and your guest service teams provide fantastic service. The St. Petersburg to Key West and back during Christmas was a wonderful experience with many fond memories.
This was my first Viking cruise. I have a two week cruise with Viking in April. I prefer Regent for my next trip. Viking itineraries involve too much walking. I have a bad back and not able to do long walks. I would prefer more bus tours with stops as they do with Regent on our Africa cruise. Also I would like to be contacted when a great deal on a cruise comes up. Something that would be considered a great all inclusive trip. Also would consider a river cruise.
would never think of using another agency - Pam is specular
Appreciate open office on Sundays.
I’m always impressed by Pavlus Travel and planner Pam. I referred six people to Pavlus Travel on my most recent Cosmos Tour. Keep up the great work!
Pam has taken care of our travel plans for years and it always so efficient and knowledgeable.
I'm very happy with your company! Thank you for all your great help. When I was recently in the Mediterranean on an Oceania cruise I was able to reach your team easily due to the time difference and it was a great relief to be in touch with them when I had an urgent matter.
Christopher and Denise were very helpful. They did not stop until we resolved the issues. Was so happy with them.
Thank You in GOD’s Will . It was one of my BEST ever Voyage.
Hello Craig, I wanted to take this moment to recognize and praise Pam Chavez, who has been my go-to for all the trips for over 20 years :) She has each and every time taken care of the details of my trips efficiently, professionally and expertly inspiring confidence and comfort. Pam is always so well organized, efficient and precise. She is knowledgeable and well versed in all that comes up because of her brilliance and experience as well as skills to make it all work out so perfectly. Pam’s perseverance and going above and beyond to make sure all goes well is impressive and inspiring! I am so appreciative and grateful to how detail-oriented and attentive Pam was in making sure all is accomplished well in the end. Indeed, Pam always exceeds expectation. Her commitment to excellence and determination to deliver the best customer and service meant so very much and I cannot thank Pam enough for making a difference! Please share my this letter of praise with Pam, who represents the best part of Pavlus Travel, who is greatly appreciated for amazing and incomparable customer care and service. Thanks for letting me know you got this happy and complimentary feedback on Pam and all you do to make it all such a joyful experience over the two decades being your customer❤️ Happy holidays and best wishes!
Pavlus is great! When there was a possible strike Pam helped me move from Air Canada to United Airlines. Tauck is usually great, but this was definitely not my favorite vacation. Food and weather were great, but accommodations were not up to Tauck standards. Also one long bus ride, and rest stops were too "touristy".
Everything went smoothly. There were no hiccups. Another great vacation coordinated by Pam.
Pam Chavez has been my agent for countless top tours and she does a superb job in every respect
Pavlus has been excellent to deal with on Vacation needs.
I am a long-time Pavlus client and Pam Chavez is my travel planner. I am so pleased with the services received by Pam and Pavlus over the years.
Pam Chavez is the BEST!
Well organized. Outstanding Tour Director.
Pam does a FANTASTIC job! Trafalgar Poland trip was a marvelous experience and great history lesson. Country is immaculately clean, people are friendly, and food is very good. Very good exchange rate also.
Excellent company to work with. Wonderful benefits
Pam has been great for many years --
Pam Chavez has been our main contact and has been very responsive and helpful. We have also worked with Leann Wright and Mike Duran and they both have been helpful and very professional
The vacation was wonderful. Booking through Pam at Pavlus has always been easy. She is quick to respond to our questions and requests. The onboard credit and referral from Pavlus are also great perks! We definitely we be using Pavlus again.
We enjoy working with Pam and recommended Pavlus to several on the recent cruise.

Dealing with Viking’s office during payment was a nightmare. The cruise itself was great.
Pavlus is the only travel agent we will use Pam is superior
No complain with Pavlus but the Globus tour need some improvements.The tour director was superb but not enough time for eating lunch. Also the numbers of participants was too many (45).we also has I day stay in all the hotels except one . This travel company is not for us.

Had some communication problems with NCL but your customer service department took care of every one of them quickly and efficiently. The 4 days in Denali were outstanding. I’ve been using Pam at Pavlus for years now and have recommended Pavlus to my friends some of which are now your clients.
Pam handled all of the travel plans doing an excellent job making the reservations we needed. She communicated appropriately keeping us informed of all we had to do to prepare for our trip. She is an excellent travel agent, who is professional, helpful, and displays a caring attitude to ensure she takes care of every detail! She is definitely an asset to Pavkus Travel. The cruise was a trip of a lifetime, with great food, sightseeing, and entertainment.

Cruise was fantastic with many great excursions. Staff was fabulous, food was great, and ship was very comfortable and well maintained. If they had more itinerary's, which we have not already completed we would sign up for those! HIGHLY recommend Pearl Seas.
All our travel arrangements were great. Pam was always very responsive to any questions or concerns. We really liked the American Cruise Line boat. Clean, comfortable, friendly crew, good food etc.
Pam Chavez was very helpful and kept us updated!
Enjoyed working with Pam over the past years. Looking forward to continuing.

Agent was non responsive. Did not return calls
We had some problems before we left. Lots of trouble setting up dinner reservations. We had 21 people. Once we arrived everything went very well. We had a great time. I don’t know who was responsible. It could have been all Princess. I called and they were very uninformed. The Princess website is terrible. I got three different answers. One from Pavlus, one from Princess trip and another on the medallion. All in all it turned out and my family had a great time.
Pam is terrific - I've worked with her for many years.

Pam is great. She has always been there for us over the many years. We enjoy working with her.
We had a wonderful time on our cruise. We felt we made an excellent choice both on the cruiseline and on the specific cruise. Our shore excursions were enjoyable, and we loved the amenities of the PLUS program. We also booked transfers both to and from LaGuardia. We had initially booked our departure from LaGuardia at 10:59 AM but received the following message from Pavlus: Hi Gail, I can add the arrival transfer. However, unfortunately, your departure flight leaves too early to get the Princess transfer: On the day of departure, we were asked to arrive in one of the dining rooms by 8:15 AM, boarded the bus shortly afterwards and arrived at La Guardia by a little after 9 AM. We ended up flying standby on an earlier flight #993 at 10:59 AM (coincidentally the same flight we had originally booked), and I flew standby on flight #3115 at 2:15 PM to Sarasota. I don't understand why our original flight had to be changed. Flying standby, we could very easily not have been able to secure seats on these earlier flights, plus we could have avoided the hassle of flying "standby". Plus, I lost the upgrade I had booked for myself on the SRQ flight.
I tell every one about our trip. Pam was awesome. I give her cards to all the people who asked about Hawaii. I told them it is the way to go.i liked the cruise because you could go at your own pace and do what you wanted to do. Great adventure. Would like a baggage handler in air port to handle baggage to shuttle. Long way to walk with all the luggage.
We took 2 Smithsonian Journeys tours, back to back, and both were very good. And, as always, Pam is perfect to work with.

Have used Pavlus and worked with Pam for several years. She is great to work with.
Pam and the balance of the team do a great job for us.
Pam is the greatest -- Been with her over 10 years ---
Pavlus is a terrific company to work with. Have been clients for many years. Will continue to work with the company. Barbara Simon
Would not recommend the ship. Did not like the new edge series on celebrity. The ship is to crowded, dark. Hardly any windows. A lot of wasted space. Breakfast was subpar. Dinner was better, but not great. No table in the cabin to put our room service on despite plenty of room for one. Mgmt refused to bring us a table. The solstice series is much nicer brighter and easier to get around. We will be sailing on Oceania in the future.
Love Pam! We were recommended to Pam probably 15-20 yrs from friends. Best decision we ever made. Since then we’ve recommended Pam several times over. We carry her business cards when we travel. Hopefully she’ll get some new clients from our recent cruise.

The tour we took was the Classic Italy tour with Tauck. Pam was extremely helpful and made all the arrangements for the trip. She contacted us when the need arose and let us know when events were changed prior to the trip. This is the third time we have been on a Tauck tour and we used Pam each time. It is evident to us that using a professional like Pam makes traveling so much easier and pleasurable. We will continue to use Pam and Pavlus anytime we travel domestically or internationally Thank you and we look forward to our next journey arranged by Pavlus Travel.

Cruise fantastic. Concerned about lack of response on evenings, weekends, or when travel advisor out of the office. I need to find some email address that will handle issues/concerns while travel advisor is away from her desk.
Completely satisfied with my planner - always consistent, reliable, on time, and informative. Trip was well planned and executed.
Pam was excellent. Defensively will call Pam for my future travel plans. She was very professional.
pam and pavlus are great

Very pleased with Pam and Leann. We enjoyed being on Avalon for the first time since 2019. They are staying on top and stepping up their game.
Our Tauck river cruise of the Douro that started in Madrid and ended in Lisbon was highly anticipated. Unfortunately, my husband (and I) became ill early on in the cruise with an intestinal flu. My husband required transfer by ambulance to a local hospital where he received treatment aided by the translation of our able tour guide Manuel Rezende. I became ill the next day and we were unwell for the rest of the trip, missing most of the excursions and meals. We even booked a private car return from Porto to Lisbon because of our level of discomfort . It was very disappointing but we commend the Tauck staff for being helpful and accommodating as best they could. To add insult to injury, our return flight home on April 21 was cancelled. When we called the Pavlus travel desk, they told us they could not help us rebook, that United airlines was “in control” of our flights. We found that troubling. So what is the purpose of access to emergency travel hotline if assistance is not offered?? My husband ended up speaking with United and then Air Canada representatives at length to book our return flight. We are not blaming anyone for our unfortunate experience but felt you should know both the positive and negatives of our trip.

Trip was great Pam as always was very helpful been our agent for over 10 years
This cruise was my first vacation in at least 15 years. A friend had been telling me about his long time experiences with cruises over the year and he discovered Pavlus Travel while we were choosing a cruise on the Oceania Cruises website. I was so happy with the experience of working with Pam because she handled absolutely everything cruise-related. Denise was also a huge personal helper with making all of the airline reservations work! I definitely liked the Oceania Cruise, the culture, the ship and all of the features, events, services, restaurants and tours. I have already signed up for two more cruises in the future. Thanks to Pavlus Travel I am now a cruise person!
VACATION WAS GREAT. PAM & PAVLUS HANDLED ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY. I HAVE, AND WILL CONTINUE TO RECOMMEND PAVLUS TO MY FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES.
Pam is always very patient and helpful with making our plans. This trip the Guest Relations department was very responsive and helpful with making additional accommodations that we needed.
ITwas very good
The Trafalgar tour to Costa Rica was fantastic and Pam made it a breeze to plan! Thanks!
Extremely satisfied - Pam is the best
Everything was top notch. Very happy with all the correspondence we had ( because I always have lots of questions) All was taken care of in a timely manor. I couldn’t have been happier with Pavlus and will spread the word, definitely!!
Our Oceania Vista cruise over the Holidays was wonderful and Pam from Pavlus Travel was instrumental in booking and ensuring we had the best time! We truly appreciate all the hard work Pam is putting into giving us the best service and best prices for all the cruises we already went on and future cruises we have booked with her! Thank you, again, Pam for your time and kindness!
Keep up the nice cash back deals.
Pam was as always, very professional, very responsive and helpful throughout the booking process. Thanks to her, another 2 of our friends also booked their cruise reservations with her. They had very similar thoughts. I believe she is the reason we keep coming back to Pavlus for our cruise reservations. She is a real asset to your organization.
Great Viking Ocean Cruise, and Pam was very helpful in booking our cruise. She has booked several trips for us, and has always done a great job for us.
As alway, Pam did a wonderful job!
Always a pleasure to do business with Pavlus. Pam is always efficient and accurate.
Pam made everything easy for us and answered all our questions.
Pam was great in getting things together for us.
I have been with Pam for over 20 years, who has helped fulfilled every vacation plan for my family annually minus the pandemic years (when it was unsafe to travel) We travelled last year with Pam’s assistance with 2 tour packages in the USA. This year we took a 3 week Trafalgar tour to Australia and New Zealand, which was absolutely fantastic!! We got back a week ago and are still talking about how great the trip was in all. So much glorious vistas, fun with all the animals we had the pleasure to interact with including the fish in the Great Barrier Reef. It was so heartwarming to have the superb tour directors who took such outstanding care of us in each segment of the trip. We highly recommend this trip. I cannot thank Pam enough for making sure all went well with all the details :) Pam is such a comfort, joy and delight. She inspires the confidence and peace of mind with every planned trip, and it is priceless on every level and in so many ways. Pam’s attention to details and commitment to excellence are impressive and makes all the difference! I feel very blessed and fortunate to have Pam take such extraordinary and exceptional care of me and my family. She is indeed awesome and amazing in every way! Please share our praise, gratitude and appreciation from this family for all the care and efforts Pam always puts forth to make each planned trip a perfect one :) for over 20 years, including this last one we just came back from :) Thanks Craig for all you do and for this opportunity to share my happiness with you and your staff :)
Wonderful cruise from the booking of it to the last day on the ship. Thanks to Pam for all her help.
Tauck trip to Africa was fantastic! Pam Chavez helped us tremendously and is a wonderful agent. She is very focused on the customer!
Globus Highlights of Southern Italy andSicily is a great tour. Our guide, Lino Nefando is the best guide I have ever had. He went above and beyond every day. I have been using Pam as my planner for years. That should say it all. She does a very good job and I recommend her to anyone asking for a travel planner.
Went without any hiccups. Well looked after by Pavlus. Many thanks.
We love working with Pam and have recommended her to many of our friends and family.
We love cruising with Holland America and are thankful that Pavlus Travel helps make it more affordable for us.
Victoria covered the weekend and Pam took over on Monday -- both did a great job. Thanks!
Always a pleasure to work with Pam and get all the Pavlus benefits.
Everything promised was delivered.
We have been your clients for many years and referred many friends to use your services. Pam has been wonderful for many years.
As always, we had great service from Pam. We will be traveling via you again in the future.
We absolutely love working with Pam on our travel plans, and we're looking forward to making tour reservations for 2024 very soon.
Great vacation, no suggestions on how to improve.
Pavlus is another great perk for people who travel a lot.
The trip was very well executed both on the part of Pam ( Pavlus) as well as the tour company - CIE I would like to have Pam call me regarding a small issue NOT A BIG ISSUE !!
Love working with Pam!
We love Pam , and Pavlus! She’s been taking care of us for 20+ years, and we depend on her.
Pam and her associates were very responsive to our questions and concerns. They did a great job.
Pam and Pavlus helped make our trip very enjoyable
This was my seventh cruise with Uniworld, and it was a great experience. Our first time with Pam. In my opinion, she continued the excellent service we have always received from Pavlus Travel - courteous, responsive, and professional!
My agent Pam was so attentive, she ensured that we were aware of everything and checked up to ensure our comfort. Her care and concern helped us have an enjoyable time.
It was a great trip with my Pilot Club International meeting. I could not have for a better cruise and so well planned. Pam was amazing in informing me of the status of the trip and all the perks that went with it. Thank you! I am planning a cruise to South America, and the Antarctic ending or starting in Chile. Have family in Mendoza so I want to visit them after the cruise. If you have some itinerary please forward it to me.
The cruise was great! Pam did an excellent job keeping me informed and updated regarding information about the cruise and the things that had to be completed prior to the departure date. On the ship Pam made sure everything went well and answered any questions I had. She was professional, helpful, and friendly.
We can always depend on pam to get us the best pricing and follow-up
Pam and the Pavlus team do a great job arranging our travel. Pam is very responsive to my inquiries and schedules our requested trips without error. She and Pavlus are now our only travel agent. And of course, the Pavlus credits and incentives exceed any we've seen in the travel industry.
Everything was well done on your part. Would and have recommended you to friends.
This was our first time using Pam. She was always attentive to our needs and we had many. First class service! We have a few more vacations lined up using Pam!
I am a client of many years with Pavlus and continue to be very happy with the services that Pam Chavez has provided over the years. She's the best!
Pam was great with all our arrangements! Love Pavlus!
Pam does a great job for us and with all of the chaos in the past couple of years she has been a great help.
We booked this cruise directly with Viking while we were on another Viking cruise in 2022. Viking then interacted with Pam Chavez to process all the paperwork, payments, etc. leading up to our departure. The process was rather straightforward with no issues either before or during the cruise. We have worked with Pam on a number of previous bookings and she has always done a very good job for us. As to the cruise itself, the Viking ship was in impeccable condition and everything went off as planned except for a late excursion departure in Dublin due to heavy morning fog. The ship was very full (approx. 95%) but the crew handled the excursions and dining with ease. Viking is clearly a big step above the other cruise lines that we have traveled on and it's a pleasure to sail with them.
Tour was well organized and communicated. Software information tools were invaluable. I think the tour was a good value for the price.
Wish that I had known about Pavlus Travel years ago. We were very satisfied with the services provided by Pam. She was knowledgeable, helpful, and efficient.
Very satisfied. Gave recommendation today.
Wonderful trip with Tauck - We had a great time. Once again, we appreciate the help of Pam and Pavlus travel in creating the whole thing! This is our 3rd trek with Pavlus and Tauck. Thanks for all the help!!
Pam is a great agent. She is a real asset to your company.
Pam is a top-notch travel planner; knowledgeable, efficient, responsive, available, friendly. Her service is superior.
I am always happy with the service I get from Pam. she does a great job
The cruise was wonderful! Pam always kept us up to date with any changes or information we needed. And quickly responded to any of my questions.
Pam Tafoya is an excellent travel planner. She's attentive and quite resourceful. Pam's definitely an asset to your company.
Excellent rebate based on the amount paid per cruise.
We sure enjoyed our trip with Seabourn from Singapore to Dubai...many thanks to Pam! We have two more planned with Pam though they are on Regent.
We enjoyed our vacation after a long time of no travel due to COVID. Leaving from San Diego and returning to San Diego allowed us to avoid air flights. We have been using Pam for many years and have enjoyed working with her. Pam keeps us up to date on future cruises and our current cruises. We have recommended her to friends and will continue to do so.
The cruise was fantastic and Pam always provides great service.
Pavlus works perfect for my family situation -- no issues
This is the second vacation we have booked through Pavlus Travel. Pam Chavez is great! Will definitely use Pavlus Travel in the future!
It all worded as planned -- Thanks --
Pam gives the extra effort required when planning a trip that runs into difficulties, eg Covid. Delaying the trip caused complications which Pam was able to overcome resulting in a very wonderful cruise for us.
Always great service.
We always have 100% satisfaction working with Pam to plan our vacations. She gets us exactly what we like! She forwards us an communication updates she receives. Also, always love the extra perks of working with Pavlus! Thank you for another great cruise!
Pam did a fantastic job of scheduling our Trafalgar tour. She was very expeditious and patient with the two cancellations due to the pandemic. The tour was stupendous! We also appreciate the fantastic discounts we received from Pavlus. Thanks!
Pam Chavez is a wonderful planner. She is caring,smart and thorough. Every trip she has booked for us has been perfect!! I would give her 5 stars
Love working with Pam!
All good.
Pam is always quick and efficient at getting the cruises I want.
Pam has been very responsive to any requests I have.
Pam did a terrific job, especially in implementing a number of changes to reflect cruise cost reductions that occurred from time of booking to time of final payment. Always appreciate Pavlus discount.
Pam helped us out with a very unusual situation. We were unable to leave on the embarkation date of our recent cruise due to a family illness. She received permission from Oceania cruises for us to fly to Trinidad and embark the ship one week later. All the proper paperwork was waiting for us at immigration there. Thanks Pam!
Pam is a great asset to Pavlus Travel. She always does a great job arranging my travel for me.
Pam is the best!!!!
All of the expert and prompt service Pam provided made my trip to Australia and New Zealand fantastic. I look forward to having Pam and Pavlus assist me with future travels. I plan without hesitation to refer others to Pavlus.
This long-awaited trip was so enjoyable and made possible with the assistance of Pam at Pavlus. She is always so helpful and responsive to what is needed, making trip planning much easier. Thank you to Pam and Pavlus for all you have done for me over the years.
Pavlus always does an excellent job in getting me ready for my trip. Pam is a great and agent, always efficient and accurate. The trip went off perfectly and I am looking forward to traveling again soon.
Pam Chavez is an excellent travel agent/advisor. She always gets back to us when we have questions or concerns.
Pam took care of everything
Very happy with customer service and Pam is a great travel planner. She is responsive to calls and emails and listens to requests and special issues.
Good service from Pam, and great prices.
I love Pavlus Travel and think Pam is amazing! Our Tauck tour, Magic of Morocco, was wonderful. Marrakech is a beautiful and exciting city. The Yves Saint Laurent Museum was a walk in time in fashion. Add the sights, sounds and excitement of the medina , museums and shopping in the souk and this is a trip not to miss. Pam arranged the hotel booking before the tour. She made sure we received all the paperwork from Tauck and responded immediately to answer all my questions. I even talked about Pavlus on tour and shared Pam's number with other travels. We are cruising in January on another trip Pam has booked for us. Go Pavlus Geri
I have worked with Pam for years and will continue to do so -- I have referred several to Pam in the past -- she is the best --
Pam does a great job and is an asset to your company.
Pam is extremely helpful and knowledgable during my cruise booking process! She's so responsive to each of my inquiry, and clear with her message. I also had a great cruise experiences with Celebrity. Will definitely recommend Pavlus Travel to my friends or colleagues, and come back to book with Pam in my future vacation.
Pam always does a good job.
We had no issues with the plane or the hotel.
Trip was great as expected. That's why we always go with Pam and Tauck. Recommended Pam to another guest.
The cruise to Iceland and Greenland was great. Pam did a good job in keeping me informed.
Pam has always been great booking our trips. She knows what type of traveler’s we are and helps us with first class trips.
Already have. Our son schedule a Hawaiian Cruise thru Pavlus that I arranged with Pam at Pavlus.
This was my sixth or seventh trip in which Pavlus, and specifically Pam Chavez, helped to plan and coordinate my trip, including air transportation and trip insurance. I have always been 100% satisfied with the services provided to me. My trips have always gone smoothly, with the exception of some flight delays which were beyond Pavlus's control. I have made 12 referrals to Pavlus. All persons referred were satisfied clients, several of whom have been repeat travelers using Pavlus. I particularly appreciate Pam for her prompt replies to my emails, and an occasional phone call, during the trip planning process. She has been a successful advocate for me with Uniworld as Uniworld seems to be always offering new price incentives for trips already booked.
Pam does a very nice job on putting together cruises. I have recommended her name to other people who plan on making reservations in the nearest future.
Pam and the crew she works with are terrific. We do let folks know about Pam and Pavlus whenever we talk travel. But at our age, 70s and beyond, many folks prefer a local agent or don't like dealing over email or the internet. But for us, there won't be anyone but Pam and Pavlus.
Pam, as usual was patient and perceptive. This cruise was a "late booking", and she had all details settled before I could spell out all our needs. She remains a star.
I really like Pavlus travel and tell all my friends who travel about you. As always you did a great job. Thank you
Loved our Silverseas cruise.They do an excellent job; accommodations, food & beverage, wonderful personnel, all make for an amazing trip. Plus including the 6 excursions & limo service to & from airport were an added bonus to makiing the experience even better than we expected. Four of the 10 traveling required kosher food on the cruise. The food & beverage staff & quality of food were outstanding. Silverseas went out of thier way to be gracious, very accommodating & helpful which was appreciated. We paid for 5 cabins which involved varied personalities with different needs & requests before departure. Four of us had traveled with Pavlus & Silverseas before, so knew what to expect & how to proceed. We had booked a cruise 2 years ago & cancelled because of Covid (prior to when Silverseeas officially cancelled that trip) It was with a bit of trepidation & good faith when we booked this cruise about 10 months ago. It's so gratifying it worked out so well for our family, cruise line & Pavlus. Overall everyone was pleased with Pam, who has been our travel planner for at least 4 cruise trips ( Seaborn & Silverseas) these past 8 years & Pavlus service.
I absolutely rave about Pavlus Travel and Pam's great service! Pam truly cares about me, and I have always appreciated her expertise and advice. She is a gem! I have referred several people to Pavlus, and I am already beginning to plan my next international trip. Thank you!
The Viking Rhine Getaway was a fabulous itinerary. Pam has helped us with a few trips and has been very helpful navigating through cancellations and reschedules during the pandemic.
Arrangements by Pam were flawless. Very satisfied.
It was a wonderful cruise. Pam helped so much in getting ready for this trip. She always answered our many questions and followed up when we were due a refund because of a lower price offered by Princess. As always, a top notch job by Pam.
Pam was very helpful and extremely patient with all of our planning, cancellations, etc. would definitely book with her again
Pam was so helpful when we had to reschedule flights (several times!) because of my husband's COVID diagnosis during our river cruise. She liaised with Uniworld to get us the best schedule at the lowest price. We really appreciated her efforts and will be using her for all our travel going forward as well as recommending her to friends. Thanks Pam!
Pam Chavez is an incredible travel agent. She makes Pavlus shine. She is a delight to work with—knowledgeable, efficient, and caring. Great trip with Tauck to the Canadian Rockies.
Everything went smoothly. The many question I had were answered by the customer service department.
Pam does a great job and we appreciated her timely and honest opinions
This was a trip of a lifetime I highly recommend it for anybody that is looking to do a river cruise and thank you to Pam for helping us with all the questions we needed answered about airlines and Covid requirements. The trip was just all around amazing from the weather to the service
Outstanding in every way Our Tauck guide Elodie was very helpful and very well informed.helpful in every. Way
Pam did a fantastic job of scheduling our trip and was very patient in regards to the multiple cancellations and rescheduling caused by Covid. We have already booked another trip with Pavlus Travel and Pam!
Great cruise, great Pavlus service-- Thank Pam and staff for their help.
Our first River cruise in USA and not sure what to expect but happy with all aspects. Pam is a great agent and looking for future vacations. I wanted to say we got our check from you way faster than we expected. Thanks.
Pam was very helpful in arranging our travel to the UK. When our first trip was canceled, she was able to book another tour which addressed our time frame and points of interest.
My agent Pam Tafoya Chavez always does a wonderful job in setting things up and following through. I have never been disappointed in anything I have booked through Pavlus
My second trip with Pam and one in the works. Her attention to detail is impeccable and she is responsive and a good communicator. We are fans.
Loved working with Pam. She was very friendly and responded to our questions quickly. Would definitely work with her again.
Pam is a real asset to your company.
The trip on Regent was wonderful - the ship, the crew, the destinations and excursions. All accommodations, and connections were great. Pam did a great job in assisting us with the many little nuances that came up related to Covid vaccination requirements. Would certainly recommend Pam as well a Pavlus Travel to friends.
Pam has been a terrific travel agent. She is always very helpful and was excellent in helping me replan our vacation when it was canceled due to my granddaughter getting Covid. Kudos to Michael for our upgrade on our flight to first class The tauck trip was fantastic. Thanks for helping my grandaughter and me make memories
We have booked several cruises with Pam and have found her very good to work with. She is very responsive and follows up quickly on any specific requests that we make. The cruise itself with Viking was very good - a lot of time spent looking at some angry waves on the ocean - and we really enjoyed our 5-day stay in Barcelona which we booked on our own.
Pam has always provided excellent service in fulfilling our travel needs for several years.
Pam always does a great job for me, and this was complicated by Covid. She handled it all with grace.
Great cruise and support from Pavlus.
Pam was very helpful when we had to reschedule due to Covid! Appreciate the on board credits as well
Pam is great!!!!!
VERY SATISFIED WITHT HE VACATION AND PAVLUS. AA CANCELLED OUR FLIGHT, BUT THANKS TO PAM WE WERE RESCHEDULED AND MADE THE SHIPS DEPARTURE.
Pam is a real gem and an asset to your agency.
Pam, as usual was responsive beyond expectations. She remains a star.
ACL is handling the restarting of river cruising very well with the new restrictions. If you choose your cruise based upon the schedule of the historian/presenters, you will get a great experience. Pam has always been efficient, helpful and friendly and I thank her for her assistance in our travel plans.
Pavlus and Pam have always been at our side when traveling. They never fail to get us the best deal. We are constantly recommending them to everyone we meet. Keep up the good work in these difficult times.
Thanks for the onboard credit.
My vacation to Sicily was caught up in the pandemic and had to be rebooked. Pam always does a good job and rebooked everything for us with Globus. I have traveled with Globus many times. Before we left, we tried to get flights changed and were told nothing better could be found. On the way over on Delta and Alitalia, our luggage was lost. This was due to Alitalia being sold and employees were on strike and never loaded luggage. While waiting at Luggage Lost in Palermo, our transfer did not wait for us. We paid additional for the transfer because we traveled a day early. Fortunately, we found transportation to the hotel after contacting the hotel. Globus is reimbursing us for the transfer. Our tour was amazing and our guide was excellent. This helped to put Globus back in good terms. We communicated with Globus about our issues and still tried to get flights home changed. Finally, the day before we left, Globus changed our flights because ours were cancelled. I had to wonder if that would have happened had we not been in touch with Globus. Some of the people on our tour were stuck at the airport with cancelled flights. So, we were fortunate. All-in-all, our tour was very good. Globus just didn’t do as good a job with travel as they have with previous trips.
Enjoyed Michigan As always Tauck's Tours did a good job.
The Pavlus Team kept us informed all through the transaction. Couldn't have made the trip without them.
Great to get away again after being in the house for 14 months. Pam did her usual great job looking after our needs. We felt comfortable with American Cruise Lines COVID protocols.
Because of the Corona virus our cruise was cut short by 10 days and we are waiting in the airport to fly home. Princess did all they could to make this a bearable experience. We are already booked for 2021.
Great cruise, special thanks to Pam for her great advise. We will definitely book again with Pavlus!
Pam, as usual was responsive, patient and a pleasure to work with. She is a star.
Very well taken care of by Pam and very helpful in answering questions.
Pam has been our agent for many trips and we are confident in her guidance and she helps us get the best deal on trips we take. We book almost every trip with her since we get refunds etc. working with her. Tauck Australia New Zealand trip was fantastic.
Things went very well as they always do. Just recommended you to one of my longtime friends a few minutes ago.
Love Pam. She does a great job for us.
pam is absolutely the best. pavlus is equally as great.
Extremely satisfied Price and quick response
We are the repeated user of your service. Pam has been our planner for many years and she has done a wonderful job for us. Also your price is very attractive. We will continue to use your service.
This was my sixth or seventh vacation planned in cooperation with Pam. I have always been pleased with the services provided by Pam and Pavlus. In particular, I appreciate the responses to my email questions, and with her dealings with the tour operators on my behalf. I have never been disappointed or regretted any of my river cruises or land tours.. I have referred at least six sets of couples to Pavlus, all of whom have booked with Pavlus. I have never heard a complaint from them. I currently am working with Pam on a Uniworld river cruise in June, 2020.
I would sum-up my travel experience with the words convenience, value and service.
Great trip! So easy because Pam takes care of our arrangements.
We have enjoyed all the vacations we booked through Pam Chavez. She makes it easy to travel. We love that there are transfers from the airport to the hotel/ship and back. We have had nothing but smooth sailings with our vacations. Thank you!
I found Pavlus Travel to be comprehensive, courteous, and professional - all trip particulars were addressed and documented.
Pavlus Travel has booked many trips for us. No glitches. Smooth travels.
Pam has been a very reliable travel planner who this time helped our 9-couple Baltic Princess cruise that we greatly enjoyed. Thanks.
Cruise was wonderful with great experiences.
Viking Russia River cruise was excellent. Very good service, and very good excursions. Always pleased with Pam and the way she works with me on my trips.
Another great trip and great service by Pam. Have already referred two sets of high end frequent travelers to Pam who were interested in your incentive program.
Great I would use them again Pam was wonderful!
Excellent safari vacation. Pam was extremely helpful as always.
I told a number of people on this cruise about Pavlus and handed out the Pavlus business cards I had. Many were very interested in getting information about future cruises. All these people are frequent travelers and were eager for more information.
Outstanding Avalon cruise! Pam, as always, was very informative and helpful with booking the trip & ensuring it was an overwhelming success.
Excellent trip with Tauck tours
Pam has been great for everyone of our trips!
The Tauck new generation tour was fabulous. Pam was awesome it getting everything organized and set up. She is always a pleasure to work with. Getting ready to do another trip with her next year and brought her a new client
Thank you! We LOVED the drink package that you gifted to us!
Very pleased with the service I get from Pam. I have availed myself of her assistance many times. My wife and I just finished our 5th river cruise with American Cruise Lines. They have all been very well done, but I thought this last one (Snake and Columbia Rivers) was exceptionally so. The combination of history and scenery just cannot be beat. On our first cruise with ACL in 2016, we were very fortunate to have Bill Wiemuth onboard as our resident historian. He knows his stuff (American history and the role the major rivers played in it, the history of steamboating, civil war, Louisiana Purchase, Lewis and Clark, Mark Twain, etc). But what is even more appreciated is that he has a great storytelling technique. He is giving lectures, but they are so interesting and well presented that no-one wants to miss even one of them. He also provides entertainment along with his very talented wife, Laura Sable. We have arranged every one of our subsequent cruises to make sure that Bill and Laura are on the ship at that time - they do about 30 weeks a year with ACL. Unfortunately, we have now done almost all of the cruises that feature Bill and Laura, so our next two (already booked) are with different historians. If they can even come close to matching Bill Wiemuth I will be thrilled. This latest cruise really was a great combination of history and scenery. I strongly recommend it. If you can arrange it when Bill and Laura are scheduled then you hit the jackpot. I would be more than happy to discuss details with any of your planners or clients.
WE had a grand time. Cruise and flights were all smooth. Very delighted with our whole excursion and Pam's help.
Ever since we heard about Pavlus, we have used the agency to book our Tauck vacations. We are very pleased with all our bookings.
Our trip was very nice and well organized. Very happy with everything. Already working on a future cruise with your company
This was our 10th trip with Tauck, but our first cruise. It was a small ship. Iceland was beautiful, and Tauck, as always, does a wonderful job of taking care of its guests. Pam was helpful in getting us a cabin on the ship late in the game. Whether we do a group tour with Tauck, or private journeys with Abercrombie and Kent, Pam is ready to assist.
This was my first experience with Pam and she really gets things accomplished. I have already booked two more cruises with her and look forward to a long, satisfying relationship with her. The rebate from Pavlus is something I try to convey to my friends who travel, so I hope to have some referrals of my own. Everything was perfect thanks to Pam.
We have had a number of cruises thru Pavlus and have always been very pleased with the prices and arrangements as well as the attention to detail. We usually deal with Pam and we are very pleased with her service and courteousness.. Thanks
I was initially skeptical that your company could produce the discounts I heard about and was pleasantly surprised to discover that you could.
Pam is great!
Regent Seven Seas complete staff - cabin cleaners, dining room servers, and all other workers - were very attentive to deals - excellent service!! They offered plenty of excellent meals and drinks. Their land tours were well organized and informative.
Excellent TrafalgarTour. All the documents were received three or four weeks before the trip. Pavlus us the best!!!!
Have booked several trips through Pam at Pavlus, as well as making several referrals. Have always been please with the services provided by Pam and the Pavlus Agency. Currently have two separate trips, a tour and a river cruise, booked through Pavlus over the next 13 months.
Great cruise and Pam did a great job helping to make the arrangements. Thank you.
this is the 5th trip I have taken with Pavlus. It is always easy to deal with you. Everything is handled professionally and efficiently and your discounts are great. I have recommended Pavlus to others and will continue to do so. I have already shared my comments about the trip with Pam. In short, my trip to Lisbon and Northern Spain was a great success.
Uniworld was amazing. Pam was helpful in helping to book it in time to see the Kekenhof Gardens in Amsterdam. She arranged the transfers and the air. We had used Pam for a prior trip to the Caribbean on Windstar. She called us to upgrade our cabin and loved the extra square footage and two bathrooms. We have been using Pam for the past 4 years and are very pleased with her and Pavlus.
Pam was amazing making sure our flights and all other travel details were exactly what we'd hoped. The French River Cruise was wonderful. We will definitely book another trip in the future.
Pam, as usual, provided that extra level of service which resulted in our taking this cruise. She remains a star.
Pam does a good job. We keep coming back to Pavlus for help.
Pam is steadfast in her attention to our requests and details putting our trips together
Fantastic Riverboat Cruise.
Tauck always has outstanding touring with excellent hotels, food, local guides and visits.
You guys are awesome and I tell everyone that asks me about river cruising to call you. Prices can't be beat. We had so much onboard credit we couldn't spend it all, so we ended up leaving double tips for the amazing crew and staff!
Great Trip! Pam is Great!
Have used Pavlus for many years and plan to continue for many more
Have had excellent experiences with Pam. Cruise on Viking Sky was great even though weather didn't cooperate.
It was great
Always happy and satin.
very good
Pam is most competent and pleasant!!!
I have been extremely pleased with my Pavlus experience and the service I get from Pam. I recommend Pavlus to everyone I know who is planning a cruise vacation.
This was a fabulous vacation. The Globus tour kept us busy, but also allowed just enough free time. All visited cities were well chosen. I believe we saw more of Australia and New Zealand than the average Aussie gets to visit. I would very highly recommend this tour.
Enjoyed the cruise on a uncrowded , low key, relaxed ship. Pavlus did a great job.
Have already referred numerous friends
Great trip and your service -- In for the discount and service --
Excellent.
