Client Testimonials
Greg makes it effortless
"I have worked with Greg on two different vacations now. It is more like a travel experience because from start to finish, he set everything up and gave me choices and feedback on some of the things I was interested in which guided me toward some parts of my journey and steered me away from parts that I am glad I didn't end up doing. Greg really is thorough and went through every step of the itinerary with me so there was nothing left to chance. I have recommended him to several of my colleagues and am working with him again on a trip coming up next month. For people who think they can do all of this themselves through online sites, they have no idea what they are missing. Greg makes it effortless. Thank you."

I highly recommend Greg
"Greg created the perfect trip after carefully listening to my goals for a vacation and my tastes. He made sure that I had plenty of great ideas for things to do on my vacation, beyond the travel basics he booked for me like airfare and hotel. I highly recommend him for travel needs."

Greg is the absolute best
"Greg is the absolute best. Not only does he think of every single detail to make my trips amazing, he has incredible taste! I love that he’s been practically everywhere and knows all the best spots to check out personally. Can’t say enough great things about this guy."

Savvy, thoughtful, responsive, & insightful
"We've worked with Greg for several years to book our cruises and he's fantastic! Greg is savvy, thoughtful, responsive, and insightful. Most recently, he booked us on the Atlantis Tahiti cruise and he was able to coordinate everything for friends who will be traveling with us. We know that when Greg is working as our travel agent, all the details will be handled and we'll be able to enjoy and relax!"

I simply don't know how I traveled before Greg!
"I simply don't know how I traveled before Greg! The resources he has for both international and domestic travel are incredible. As someone who goes on at least 3 international trips a year (in addition to 8+ domestic trips), he has taken the stress out of planning so I can fully enjoy my trips! He gets information to me very quickly, and he always gives plenty of options that are tailored to my specific needs. He is also always reachable while I'm on a trip and very quick in responding to any requests I have for additional information. He has resources all over the globe, so I know that wherever I go, Greg will have fantastic options for me. In addition to helping me plan trips I ask him about, he also always has great new ideas of places to visit. I cannot recommend him highly enough; I know I will use him for all of my travel needs!"

Incredible Family Vacation
Greg was very professional and always available. He gave me great information and was open and honest. He was not trying to sell me anything but gave us great advice. I really enjoyed working with Greg and would recommend him to my family and friends.

There's a real reason to have a Travel Agent
Besides being very easy to deal with, Greg is incredibly knowledgable and stayed involved on a vacation that took over two years (thanks, pandemic) to actually take. I went to Greg in order to make sure a credit that had been applied to us would go to our next trip. he achieved that, then the pandemic came and two years later we worked to have the credit applied which the cruise lines first denied. On the cruise we finally took (two years after the original) Greg kept his eyes opened and found us the best cabin we've ever had although we had been fine with what we had. It made all the difference that we were on an aft corner, with a huge veranda on the top floor of the liner. It was AMAZING. Thanks Greg, we're forever grateful.

Greg Kiep responded:Thank you for the kind words and I am so glad you had an amazing vacation (after two years!) I can't wait to work with you more in the future :)

I only #GoWithGreg when I travel.
I've used Greg for all my travel needs for a few years now and I couldn't be happier. I travel a great deal for both work and play. An average year can see me travel to 15+ countries and a dozen or so trips within the US. Greg has made my travel a seamless experience. I can't remember the last time I've had such amazing service, consistently, for such a prolonged time. He's my travel guru and I really can't rave about him enough.

Super Friendly and Responsive
Greg was very quick with responses and gave some great suggestions for our trip and planning our itinerary. His contact with one of the hotels resulted in a great room upgrade upon arrival which was a wonderful treat. He was incredibly friendly and responsive throughout the entire process - even when we'd send him a hundred questions and "what about"s.

Amazing first solo EU trip
I met Greg a number of years ago on an Atlantis cruise and then followed him watching all of his amazing travels for himself and what he arranged for some of his other clients. I needed help planning a 2+ wk EU trip to Italy and Switzerland and Greg made it a breeze. I shared by bucket list with him and he came up with an amazing itinerary. The accommodations that he chose with me in mind were each beautiful, accommodating, and great locations. He booked my outings and some of my dinners, arranged private transportation between cities and even countries. Greg was graciously available during my trip and thankfully only had to reach two times for clarifications. I will happily use Greg and his team for touring trips again.

Amazing first trip to Europe!
Greg has been amazing to work with! He was extremely communicative and accessible, which allowed us to fully relax for the duration of our trip as well as leading up to it. He provided such great insight that allowed us to get the most out of our trip and helped us feel prepared for something that was so foreign to us. The hotel connections and restaurant/bar recommendations he provided us with also enhanced our overall trip experience. I highly recommend Greg as a travel and agent and we will be using him again in the future for other international trips. Thanks, Greg!

Will always book with Greg
BEST TRIP OF MY LIFE! Greg cared for all my accommodations and made traveling to Australia very easy. He was prompt in his response times and was professional and personable when I met him to go over the plan. He answered all my questions and even checked on me before the initial flight to ensure I had all my documents and paperwork in check. Thankfully, he did. I almost missed filling out a visa for my travel without his notice. Since I booked with Greg, I was impressed with my immediate upgrade to the top floor at the hotel and had VIP status the entire stay! Walking into a gorgeous hotel room, I was surprised to see balloons and a slice of delicious chocolate cake in my room with a personalized “Happy Birthday” note from the manager of Capella Hotel. I had the same VIP treatment at Hyatt Melbourne with a slice of birthday cake and another Happy Birthday welcome from the staff. This experience has been top-tier, and I will always book my future trips with Greg and Protravel!
