        General Info
        First Hand Travel is a travel company that makes world travelers out of its customers. We see travel as a way to enhance your overall perspective on the world so that you can return home with a broader, more cultured outlook. Experiencing new places and cultures not only creates incredible, unforgettable moments, but it also serves to improve your life in ways you would never think of. We see travel as an enhancement, not as an escape. First Hand Travel was founded by CJ and Amelia Phipps who currently reside in North Carolina. They found a love for culture and travel through personal experiences and have spent the better part of their lives exploring this great earth. First Hand Travel is their way of using their experience in world travel to help others see the world in a new way.

        First Hand Travel took a young couple's budget and helped plan their dream trip to Greece! They do not look at the place you want to go and then suggest the most expensive hotels (like other agencies), but rather they look at your budget and plan accordingly. Their integrity is almost unheard of anymore! All the hotels were in the most perfect locations, the transitions/pickups were all smooth, and they were able to get us even better deals on lodging! They were quick to respond and kind to answer any questions we had! When you want to plan a trip and feel like you are valued, they are the people for you. They care about you having a wonderful time and making sure that everything runs smooth. We will be sure to use them on our next adventure :) Thank you Amelia and CJ for making our dreams a reality!!!

        Personable, great customer service, prompt response to inquiries. First Hand travel took care of booking hotel and car rental reservations for me for an out-of-state trip. They also have booked my flights, accommodations and tour for my upcoming trip to Ireland.
