Coggin Travels Boasts 100% Completely Satisfied Customers.  We appreciate and thank our customers for the feedback they have provided below:

From Thomas B’s Alaska Cruise:

“Cindy fielded many calls and questions throughout our planning of the trip. She was always available. She provided significant information that made our trip enjoyable and very easy.”

From Kathleen C’s Alaska Cruise:

“It was awesome! I would highly recommend. “

From MIke S’s Alaska Cruise:

“We’re not cruise people — we never took a cruise before, and probably never will again, but this is the only way to see Glacier Bay, et al. Nonetheless, I was pleasantly surprised at how efficient Holland America was. With over 2,000 passengers, we were rarely standing in line anywhere.”

From Julia B’s trip to France:

“Jeff made wonderful arrangements for flights, lodging, transfers, and guided tours. His experience, thorough planning, and availability certainly helped make our vacation safe, productive, and FUN! Merci beaucoup!”

From Gail C’s Alaska Cruise:

“Cindy went over and above to insure we had a great trip. I will use Cindy again!”

From Jean T’s trip to Croatia

“Everything on this trip was amazing, from the crew, tour guides, the food and of course, the wine. And of course this wonderful experience would not have been possible without Jeff and Cindy Coggin and their great working relationship and friendship with Mirela! She was such a blessing! Thanks for this special memory of Croatia!”

From Jim B’s trip to Croatia

“This vacation was the best trip I have ever taken”

From Kim D’s trip to Croatia:

“Your hard work over the last 2 years paid off! What a wonderful trip filled with fun people!”

From Taylor J’s trip to Croatia

“Wonderful trip and great job by Coggin Travels!”

From Craig S’s trip to Croatia:

“Our experience was wonderful from start to end. Every detail was well thought out and executed flawlessly. Cindy & Jeff are amazing! We are so happy to have Coggins Travels handing all of our Travel needs!”

From Terri J’s trip to Croatia:

“This trip was very well put together. The country was beautiful and portrayed a very safe atmosphere. The people of Croatia were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. Jeff and Cindy Coggins plus Mirela, our local tour host, worked very hard to try to ensure we all had a wonderful time. When one of our stops was not possible due to the wind conditions they quickly came up with a nice alternative. We also had a passenger who experienced a mishap and had to visit a local hospital. Cindy, Jeff and Mirela ensured that passenger got the best care. I definitely recommend this trip. My only suggestion is before taking this trip, or any trip, you ensure you understand the amount of potential physical activity involved to ensure it is the best trip/itinerary for you. (I also might think about adding one more night on the yacht/one more day in Split due to the amount of shops and potential opportunity to shop more. Also, some people might choose on that extra day to do another outing from there like the Blue Cave)”

From Julie D’s trip to Croatia:

“This was my first trip with Coggin Travel and all I can say is bravo for the best 15 days that I have ever spent with a group of people. The boat and its staff, plus food and drinks, made you feel at home. Every need was promptly taken care of always with a smile. The food, you couldn’t have asked for better. The side trips to all the cities had guides who were very knowledgeable and answered all questions with some stories to make it even more interesting. Cindy and Jeff gave us Mirela, who was like the big sister who was knowledgeable, passionate about her country, and concerned for all our needs. Jeff and Cindy couldn’t have made the trip more inviting with the love of travel that they prepare for to entice the traveler into a special part of their world. Gold stars all around! Will definitely book through Coggin Travels for all future adventures. “

From Wendy M’s trip to Croatia:

“You couldn’t ask for better hosts. They were generous with their time and support with everything. I can’t imagine a better vacation ever. Thank you!”

From Mark M’s trip to Croatia:

“This was an amazing trip! We loved the intimate size of the ship and the cozy feeling we had with all the guest, ship crew, our hosts. The extra’s that the staff did to honor special request of the guest was above and beyond (stopping for a quick visit at a highly recommended olive oil boutique; adjusting our route to include the stone quarry tour when weather impacted other plans and the swimming stops along our route – just to name a few) There were so many experiences!! I can’t begin to list- life long memories were created. Thank you Coggin Travels for putting this trip together – ya’ll are the best! We look forward to many more in the future. I love how you introduced us to new adventures in our big beautiful world! So much fun! “

From Jennifer D’s USA trip:

“We just took an amazing trip of the American West none of us will soon forget! Every transaction was as Jeff planned. He secured our flights, rental car, hotels, tickets for multiple top notch tours, and travel insurance. He planned and managed all of the logistical details. He was very knowledgeable about the area and it was evident he had visited the area himself (Phoenix AZ, Sedona, South Rim, Page, Zion, Las Vegas). He booked us with one of the most trusted airlines, reserved us an Infinity QX60 for a one way trip during a rental car shortage. This 10 day trip was all planned by Jeff in less than 48 hours. We began with a different travel company and at the last minute we were told our plans included unrequested time in Las Vegas, an airline we’ve never heard of before and we had to find our own rental car due to national shortage. I contacted Jeff and he replied the same day and this entire trip was booked in about 48 hours for the dates we originally scheduled. No complaints, only gratitude! We will definitely use Coggin Travels again and highly recommend this agent!”
