“Our company has been using Forbes Travel for most of our corporate travel in the five years I have been working here. I have found them to be one of the best, if not The Best, travel agencies I have worked with over my many years working in an office. All the agents are extremely friendly and efficient, with a very short turnaround time on flight requests, usually within an hour or two. I have also used their leisure division for my personal travel and would definitely recommend Forbes Travel for corporate and personal travel arrangements.”
