I have been working with Irene and Travel Smart for twelve years. Irene is the most competent and professional person I have met in all that time. She comprehensively organizes our 32-day student tour of Greece, what we at Northeastern University refer to as the Dialogues of Civilization – Greece program. Irene handles everything: tour guides, in-country air flights, ferry boats, buses, payment of the staff, hotel accommodations, classroom space, and meals for the students. She is truly remarkable, inexhaustible, and unflappable.

Over the many years we have worked with Irene and Travel Smart we have developed a great travel partnership. Their dedication to details and creative approach to our tours reflects their professional excellence. It is the reason we never hesitate to count on them to deliver for us.

A dream of an agent for a dream vacation! Brilliant itinerary suggestions, lovely accommodations, superb transportation, and Irene’s gracious hospitality and daily communication ensure that guests feel most welcome and well-taken care of during their visit to Greece. As tour organizer and leader for 30 years, I know that five-star Travel Smart is the best.

I have been working with Irene at Travel Smart for more than a decade now and there is a reason why. We value knowledge, capability, dependability, honesty, and authenticity in the journeys we offer, and Travel Smart has always been our reliable and loyal partner in Greece.

When someone takes the time to make sure everything on your trip works flawlessly, I am amazed and so grateful for that service. Although, I had never met Irene until our Greece trip, I was quickly impressed with her efficiency, attention to detail, and especially the ease in which she works with you.

We had a bit of a snafu in our departure from Greece, and we had no idea how we were going to make things work with a last day celebration on the water, then get back to Athens to catch a very early flight back to the states the next day. Irene was wonderful….she made everything right and we were able to relax and enjoy our last day !

Finally, Irene’s enthusiasm, positive energy, and dedication to her job is very evident when working with those who have come to rely on her expertise.

Irene is a travel guide extraordinaire! On our trip to Greece, her support never wavered before or during our amazing time in this wondrous country. Any concerns were responded to with immediacy and the utmost of helpfulness, whether regarding travel options, accommodations, or the myriad of opportunities to explore in this amazing land. Her warmth, humor, and obvious love for her country only deepened our appreciation of Irene! We would recommend her services to anyone traveling to Greece!

Irene is a terrific travel agent. She has taste and style, so her choices of hotels are fabulous. She is caring and efficient. I feel safe and well looked after if Irene is in charge of my travel.

Irene organized a trip for a group I was co-leading to Greece in 2016. She provided us with wonderful options for itineraries, transport, and accommodation, and we could fully trust her with every detail.

Irene arranged travel and local guides for our group of 20 from Northeastern University (USA). She communicated everything clearly, was incredibly helpful and on-top of last minute changes, and she made some wonderful suggestions that helped us to utilize our time efficiently. She took almost all of the stress out of organizing travel with a large group of young university students. We’ll absolutely be back to work with her and TravelSmart again!
