For the past two years Agilex Flavors and Fragrances has utilized the services of Mariners Travel for our travel needs. The decision to partner with Mariners Travel was reached after an extensive review of travel agencies available in the South Orange County area. Each year we have reviewed our options and have continued to choose Mariners Travel.



Lawrence Simon originally came to Agilex for a presentation explaining that Mariners typical demographic was the leisure traveler or vacationer not the business traveler, but he and his team at Mariners would be happy to assist with our travel needs. Since that initial meeting, Mariners Travel has been very adept at understanding our business and the needs of the many people we book travel for. Lawrence and his staff have continually provided excellent service and seem to sincerely care about our business. Mariners is big enough to accommodate our challenging and ever changing travel needs, yet small enough to provide that intimate, I personally know every one of your travelers, type of service.



Lawrence and Ann are always pleasant no matter how last minute or demanding our request is. When an email is sent outlining specific travel details the staff at Mariners always offers an immediate response to confirm they received the request and are working on the details. We are always provided with alternatives, when an alternative is available, with many of those alternatives resulting in cost savings to the company. It really is reassuring to know that you have a travel partner that continually strives for excellent customer service, is responsive to your business needs and looks for ways our company can reduce travel related expenses yet provides our travelers with excellent flight, accommodation and transportation options and alternatives.



Agilex places a high demand on its travel partner, including the need to arrange last minute travel, continual changes to itineraries, and even last minute cancellations. Mariners Travel has consistently and frequently exceeded our expectations.
It is my pleasure to highly recommend Lawrence Simon and Mariners Travel to anyone utilizing the services of a travel agency for business and personal related travel.
