Finding the best travel agent for you requires a lot of ground work on your part. This means you should start asking around, from sources ranging from the internet to friends to family to pretty much anyone you know who has travelled. Then keep a record of which travel agents consistently get the highest amount of referrals. A strong rule of thumb is that if a large group of people are happy with a certain entity's services, then there's a very strong chance that you will be as well. There are many online facilities available that will aid you with your search, by providing options allowing you to search by geographic location, areas of specialisation and even specific languages spoken.
