River Oaks Travel Agency, Houston TX

Reached out to several agencies about planning a trip to France with my family - was most impressed by the response and knowledge of the team here. They have great perks with my favorite hotels like the Ritz Carltons, and seem to have a good network of private guides and experiences in France. Worth every penny and highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-end travel experience.

River oaks provides customized travel planning like an art curator. The knowledge of travel options and awareness of your personal objectives is a great asset to your trip. We truly enjoyed our experience with River Oaks and will turn to them again for planning in the future as our quest to travel expands. Dasha and her team are outstanding.
Enjoy the experience and let them deal with the details.
A great travel company.

They were not able to assist with my group's travel needs, but did refer us to an agency who could.

Samantha with River Oaks Travel was very helpful during the planning process. She continued to support us during the trip whenever we had questions. Using their company made the entire trip from start to finish go smoothly. Highly recommend using them.

Everything about our experience with River Oaks Travel screams, "Add another star! " Samantha executed my Hawaiian honeymoon design flawlessly and kept me in the loop at every step. If there was a hitch, she found choices for us. She arranged airlines to, from, and within the island state. She booked hotels, rental cars, and special events, like a whale watch and a sunset cruise. She arranged to have us greeted with leis, and the agency continually provided timely text prompts for special events and airline check-ins during our two-week stay. The agency fee was virtually discounted 30-50% by $100 hotel credits. And the full amount was worth it just to have the details handled while we worked through our wedding, out-of-town guests, and a range of other issues that absorbed our time. Using a travel agent is a leap of faith. River Oaks and Samantha fully honored that faith.

Excellent service! We've used River Oaks Travel Agency twice, including for a recent trip to Hawaii that included multiple islands, planes, and activities. Responsive and easy to work with, and the app is wonderful! They uploaded ALL documents for your trip into the app, so you have a single reference source for all travel information - genius. Definitely recommend.

Cannot give enough kudos for a fabulous trip to Washington DC! Kate did a wonderful job arranging an itinerary based on what we wanted to accomplish as well as some recommendations of their own and it could not have been any better of an experience. The tours we went on were very personalized, one-on-one experiences. One particular has been doing tours in DC for almost 30 years (Eric M.) and as such was extraordinarily knowledgable. We were able to accomplish so much in so little time and it never felt rushed or like a canned presentation. From flight planning, to hotel reservations, to pick up and drop off at the airport, it was all so seamless. We cannot recommend Kate and River Oaks Travel Agency enough! We are already planning our next trip and will leave it to the pros! Thanks Kate!

We had the most amazing trip to Italy - thanks to Kate! Highly recommend Kate at River Oaks for any of your travel needs. From flights, hotels, transfers, tour guides, local recommendations, adult/child friendly.they cover it all!

Our experiences with River Oaks Travel have been excellent. Marion, our agent, knows her business and is a consummate professional.

We were scheduled to return to Houston from Jamaica on a Thursday but due to a one day air traffic controller strike, all flights in and out of Jamaica on Thursday were cancelled. I immediately called Samantha and within the hour she had me rebooked for a Friday departure. Others in our group, who did not go through River Oaks Travel took hours to rebook and some had to settle for Sunday or Monday departures at increased airfares.
Outstanding Service!

Samantha was very attentive, knowledgable and helpful - she helped us to plan the most amazing honeymoon to Mexico, that we will never forget! Thank you, River Oaks!

Very knowledgeable staff. I gave them a few goals of my trip and they quickly gave me several great choices. They also made sure I had everything I needed while on the trip including booking excursions. They are a first-class, five star, quad diamond business. I love ROTA!

Excellent to work with, and expertly planned our honeymoon on 2-weeks' notice. Will be coming back for future trips!

Kate Lawless was absolutely great to work with. She researched a lot of options for our Antarctica itinerary and presented them to us very methodically. She was also very responsive with all of our questions and very patient as we worked through travel bookings and trip insurance policies. Would highly recommend Kate and RiverOaks Travel Agency.

Friends and Neighbors: These cats are the absolute best and will take such very good care of you and your travel.

I would like to thank River Oaks travel agency for yet, another truly memory filling experience for myself and my family. Katelyn Lawless arranged a lovely trip for us to Hawaii. The accomodation, food and tours were spectacular. What I like about River Oaks travel is that they cater a plan for you and your family based on what your likes and dislikes are. Based on this, they craft a plan for you that is perfect down to the detail. I truly am impressed with River Oaks and will continue to use them. They are the best, especially Kate!

I reached out to River Oaks Travel Agency to plan a very low-key quick trip to Savannah, GA and they did not disappoint! They helped plan the perfect getaway weekend that allowed for a few fun activities like escape rooms while giving plenty of time to also just wander and see the sites. I highly recommend them and plan on using them again in the future!

The River Oaks Travel team is top notch! Samantha was an absolute dream to work with and always prompt with her response either by email or phone. I would highly recommend their services!
