December 2, 2025 update: At the 2.5-year mark of being a full-time travel advisor, I am beginning to hit my stride with my business. The Andavo advisor community continues to be a major resource for destinations, supplier contacts and recommendations.

Over the last year, I connected and worked with a fellow travel advisor who works in group and incentive travel, an area I want to pursue for my business. I learned how they do their work and how Andavo Travel provides back-end support for these large projects. I am truly grateful for my colleague's generosity and patience as I shadowed the trips. I am also grateful for their support and encouragement to learn Sabre and become a full-service travel business. I'm excited to tap into these new skills and grow as a travel advisor and business owner!

January 16, 2024: Andavo Travel is a welcoming, friendly, professional and resourceful host agency. For someone like me, who has changed industries, it was a huge relief to know that there was someone I would work with as I learned the ins and outs of travel. I am extremely grateful for the decades of experience among leadership and fellow advisors as they have shared their gems and best practices with me. Thank you, Andavo Travel, for welcoming me to your travel advisor family!

I just read my old review and find myself hard pressed to find words to express my gratitude and privilege to be part of Andavo Travel. I am always amazed at their efficiency and professionalism. If one of my team has a question, I really don't think it has ever taken more than 15 minutes to get back to us. In today's world that is simply remarkable. I admire their work ethics and how ethical their approach is to our industry. Andavo is always negotiating new affiliations which are so beneficial to us as advisors. We love working with each and every member of Andavo. A big thank you is in order!

Andavo is a great company to be affiliated with. The team is very supportive and the company is friendly, welcoming and ethical. Those qualities along with their broad and longstanding relationships in the luxury travel industry make Andavo a top choice for an IC. I have been with them for years and very happy.

Great staff and assistance with leveraging supplier relationships. Association with Virtuoso is a big plus. They have navigated the exit from Covid well and have invested in necessary resources. Knowledgeable, committed people who are always responsive and working to building our business. I have been an IC with them for three years and appreciate the relationship.

I just started in the travel industry after a major career change. I choose Andavo Travel for the educational opportunity to assist in getting my independent agency started quickly. Everyone at Andavo has been extremely welcoming and the personal attention to my training has been exceptional. I am still coming up to speed but know that I made the right decision when choosing a host agency. I highly recommend!

I joined Andavo Travel in February 2019 right before Covid shut everything down. Andavo Travel did an amazing job in keeping their Independent Travel Advisors informed and up to date on what was occurring at the time. Since then Andavo continues to be an outstanding company. Their knowledgeable support team are always available to assist. Because Andavo is a member of Virtuoso their travel advisors are able to offer their clients extra amenities with cruise lines, hotels and vendors around the world. Working for Andavo Travel I feel like I am a part of a large family who wants their family members to be successful. I feel fortunate to be affiliated with Andavo Travel.

Having started my journey with another agency that unfortunately provided no training, I found myself at a crossroads.Fortunately, Andavo Travel was recommended to me, and it has proven to be a pivotal decision. The New Advisor Program exceeded my expectations, offering a many opportunities to propel my career beyond what I could have envisioned.
Andavo Travel is unequivocally tailored for serious travel professionals. The manner in which they treat their advisors reflects a profound commitment to professionalism, setting high standards not only for the agency but also for how they would like advisors to represent themselves.
I am particularly impressed by the responsiveness and support demonstrated by the Andavo team. Every question I have had was met with timely and comprehensive answers within a business day.
The resources and support provided by Andavo leaves no room for doubt that the only barrier to achieving top-tier status in this profession would be one's own limitations.

I joined Andavo right before Covid. During that difficult time I received Andavo's full support by focusing on training and US destination marketing to my clients. Since then , my business has grown substantially. I receive the communication, training, accounting support and marketing that I need. I feel very much appreciated . Andavo's annual conference is of high quality with focus on personal development and excellent travel supplier meetings. Leadership and Management does an excellent job.

Being a previous owner and changing to be an IC - I couldn't have picked a better agency. The professionalism and courtesy they show their IC's and staff is pretty great! If I don't know the answer to the question - one of my colleagues is sure to - It's always been a good team effort - would highly recommend.

Andavo is an excellent host agency with an amazing training program. Everyone is very professional and I feel like I always had the support I needed to start my own company and succeed. Nikki, the head of development is so easy to work with and willing to help. Everyone within the company have been in the industry for years and have a vast experience in luxury travel. There is a very positive interaction between ICs, they are always willing to help each other with suggestions and ideas for clients traveling journeys. I am grateful I joined this team of powerful people and can't wait to see the what this new year brings in.
