This is the worst agency that you can ever chose. If you think they will help you and give the best deal you ARE WRONG. They don’t care about you and give you the most expensive deals and they don’t give you enough of information. They don’t give any refund and don’t change your flights if you want to change your flight they charge a lot so if you bought your ticket from them and need to change just go to the airport and change it for free. Today I tried to call them and asked for the covid test I need for my airline because I needed to know what test (pcr or radip antigen) does airline asks. They picked up my call and said they will connect with other person I been waiting for little bit and they hang out on me then I called them again 4 times and they were just hanging out on me. I was at the covid testing place in line and I needed to know that information at that time. Also, this wasn’t just one bad experience with them. When I was buying my ticket person that was selling a ticket was helping another person at the same time. When I was asking him questions he was getting mad. Gabriel Travel has the most unprofessional people working there. They always mean and if you are asking questions about baggage or something else about the ticket you bought they are getting with like what do you ask me this?! ( I had a bad experience not just with one person)

Worst experience ever! My fight was canceled by airlines. I contacted airlines and they said I am entitled for a 100% refund. But I have to contact the travel agency for that. The day flight was canceled, me and my husband tried to reach Maksim, the agent that booked the flight. We left phone/ email messages, called multiply times. Nobody replied to us by this time. Today is a third day since flight was canceled. The russian speaking lady on the phone said that flight wasnt canceled, then she said that ticket is not refundable. She was rude and unprofessional. Then , when I requested to talk to a Gabriel Travel manager, she said that Maksim is a manager. But he is not in the office. The last conversation with her she said that I am not going to get any refund, and hang up.Unbelievable!! Even though airlines said we entitled for a full refund! By this time Maksim never replied to our emails and phone messages.Dont do any business with gabriel travel. !!

Worst customer service. In 3 months that I am dealing with them about my refund for a canceled vacation, I never receive a phone call back from them. Promised many phones calls back from the agent. Never happened. Days pass by until I have to call back and get an update. I am still waiting for my refund. Vacation canceled Jan 18th. Feels like they dont care about customers. As along as they make a sale and make the profit. Nothing on paper can be provided from them about the refund. Paid around 2k for hotel and 1k for flights. I did use the flights. Only promised 600$ back from $2000 I spent. The rest being some sort of hotel fees that I have no clue about. No invoice proof or emails explaining the cancelation fees. Hard to believe. I would like a brake down of all the fees being charged for cancelation.

I would give zero stars if I could. Our flights were cancelled by the airline due to COVID-19 and this agency refused to give us a refund. They kept lying that the airlines are not allowing any refunds. I called the airline directly and ended up quickly getting a full refund for the tickets (the airline customer service were surprised to hear that the agency refused to refund). This agency charged an extra $118 per ticket (for their services), which they also refused to refund and the lady on the phone kept lying that they did not charge this, even though my credit card statement said otherwise. Thankfully my bank was able to refund this. They also stopped picking up the phone when I kept calling a few weeks and days in a row to get a refund and they never returned the calls. I was finally able to get a hang of them by calling from another phone number. The lady on the phone spent at least half an hour yelling at me and calling me stupid for asking for a refund on a cancelled flight. Is this any way to treat a customer? My family will never book with them again. Please save yourself the headache and STAY AWAY from this horrible travel agency!!! Most of the positive reviews on here seem fake and written by their own workers.

Thank you Ilya Valyisky, purchased tickets from him twice this summer and very happy with the fare prices and service overall! Very knowledgeable, explained to me what would be my best trip options and gave me a few good quotes. Definitely highly recommend!

Do not buy tickets from this company. They made an error and blamed it on Delta. The trip for my whole family was cancelled. Nobody bothered to inform us, it was the most horrible experience in my life. After contacting Delta for some explanation of discrepancies made in booking of the flight, they sent me the detailed explanation of the reason why I wasnt able to get to my destination: Thank you so much for contacting us in regards to your recent trip. I recognize your dissatisfaction with the error made with your booking, not receiving any notification and the way things were handled for you. I tried to reach you by phone but was unsuccessful and wanted to respond as quickly as possible.After careful review, your travel was booked by a Travel Agency and it appears on June 6, 2019, the same day they made your reservation, an error was made and they cancelled your return flights. I realize you wouldve preferred to be informed, but because your travel was booked by a Travel Agency and they had control of your reservation we were unable to inform you of the error made. I wish things were handled differently for you and things were fixed before your trip........Thank you Gabriel Travel for screwing me over!

Lida did a killer job for our family, time and time again.The ticket prices through her were amazing. The service was there. What she said happened. She always gives positive suggestions to make the overall experience in favor of the client.We are beyond satisfied with all the previous vacations we booked with Lida and are excited on the one we booked yesterday for January.

I have used Gabriel travel services on several ocassions. The best price that u can find for hotels and airfare. Furthermore, the customer service is excellent; the travel agents are finding deals fast and its always easy and a pleasure to work with them. I worked with Marian on several occasions and with Ben recently for my upcoming trip to Japan. I received quality service, a great deal and an awesome customer experience.Kudos to u guys and thanks a lot!;)

Beware of Gabriel Travel! They booked our flight on two separate tickets without informing us about it and it caused so much stress and almost led to $1,000 in lost flights.Heres what happened.1. MISINFORMATION. We were booking a flight to Russia. Our travel agent M. sent us a potential itinerary with a tight connection, which we were a bit concerned about, so we asked M. what would happen if any of our flights were delayed, and M. assured us that it would be okay, as it was the responsibility of the airline to rebook us on the next available flight. Satisfied with his answer, we spent an extra $200 to book the flight directly with him rather than doing it ourselves because we wanted the peace of mind that comes with a single-itinerary booking.2. AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR. What a mistake trusting M would be. What happened later was this: the flight for the first part of the journey was delayed, and so we werent going to make it to our final flight, which was under another itinerary and therefore NOT the responsibility of the airline to rebook. After I finally managed to reach M. to change the last flight, he was very aggressive as soon as I explained the situation. He interrupted me to explain his side and at one point I thought he would just hang up on me.3. LYING. He claimed it was not his problem because he had warned us the flight was on two separate tickets. This is totally false. Both my mom and I were on the phone during the booking process, and at no point did he mention separate tickets to either of us. Ive traveled to over 30 different countries and am a seasoned traveler, so I would NEVER have agreed to a booking of two separate tickets when one of the layovers was just 1 hour.3. POOR JUDGMENT. When people book with travel agents, they rely on the agent to make good judgment calls about itineraries, and this did not happen here. In fact, M. should have done his research and he should never have even offered the itinerary he gave us. Heres why. The itinerary he created had a 1-hour connection in Amsterdam. If we didnt make it on that connection, a simple flight search shows that the next available flight would have been too late in the day for us to make it to the last leg of our trip. And while we didnt know this, he DID know that last leg was on a separate ticket. Essentially, $1,000 worth of tickets for the second part of the trip hinged on making that 1-hour layover. Would an experienced travel agent ever recommend a client such a risky ticket in the first place?We called a few different travel agents and none could match the price Gabriel Travel did, and now we know why -- because M. gave us a very risky itinerary that the other agencies were too honest to offer. When I contacted the owner of the agency to explain the situation, he was apologetic about his employees rude behavior and he discounted $60 off of our change fees. He listened carefully to the whole situation and followed up with me via phone. Unfortunately, he was not apologetic about the tickets, the stress it caused us, nor did he acknowledge his employees incompetence. Instead, he claimed that we all experience stress in our lives and this is just something we have to deal with (and that it wasnt as bad as it could have been, eh?).Dont make the same expensive mistake we did -- find a travel agent who makes smart, sound itineraries that you can trust so you can start and end your trip stress-free.
