Martha Galvez provided the best travel service for me when I booked my trip to Montego Bay, Jamaica. I treated my niece to the trip for her 21st birthday. Martha took the time to hear my plans and ensured all my requests were fulfilled. She was in touch with the resort and upon our arrival there was a birthday banner on the door, a slice of birthday cake and a bottle of wine awaiting us. I didn't have to do anything but tell Martha what I wanted. I'm truly grateful for her service as my travel agent. Thank you again Sunset Travel & Cruise AND my agent Martha Galvez!

Ryan planned a wonderful trip for my husband and I to Italy. He chose hotels we never would have knew about and made the experience seem less and easy. The company uses a helpful app where all our travel data was easily accessible while we were on the road!
Highly Recommend Ryan and his company for all your travel needs.

Our travel agent Ryan Roman from Sunset Travel guided, coordinated and organized our dream wedding at Dreams Natura in Cancun Mexico on 10/26/24. My husband and I shopped around for an agent who could help us find exactly what we visioned as a destination wedding. He skillfully and patiently listened to our requests, followed through and delivered. Our wedding was amazing. From the location, to those who coordinated events and the staff who decorated and weighted on us hand and foot. It all turned out exactly how we wanted. Ryan took the time to understand what we wanted for our wedding. He communicated clearly, worked diligently with hotel staff, and responded in a timely manner with all my guests. I highly recommend Ryan for any future destination weddings or leisure traveling. We have kept in contact with him as we plan our future family vacation in April 2025.

Japan

An island country in East Asia, located in the Pacific Ocean, Japan lies off the eastern coast of the Asian continent and drew in more than 30 million tourists in 2018 alone. While it’s one of the world’s most advanced industrialized nations, this relatively small Asian country also has a rich and fascinating history that dates back thousands of years.

From Japan’s Shinto and Buddhist temples that drew in pilgrims and patrons for their often elaborate designs and décor to perfecting the skills and trades that would set it on the path to riches, the history is deep and well-preserved. It is a unique blend of traditional and modern, with many historic temples and buildings co-existing with modern architecture and technology.
