Is it worth it to use one? What is their job anyway? I have never used a travel agent before and am finding it very difficult to get what we want from mine. I gave her a detailed list of things we wanted to see and do on our trip (Even providing links to websites and youtube videos so she knows what I am talking about) Yet only some items appear on intinerarys she provides. I specifically told her multiple times we dont need to be staying in 5 star hotels that look like something we can stay in here at home yet every intinerary includes 5 star hotels. There are more examples but you get the point. Do they get higher kick backs for booking us with specific hotels and tour groups?
