UNIGLOBE Carefree Travel Group: Reviews
Fantastic experience: This spring, my mother and I booked a trip to the UK via uniglobe. We worked specifically with Cordell who went above and beyond to build a personally tailored trip for us. We travelled with ease and enjoyed our trip so much. Cordell was and continues to always be available to discuss any past and future travel plans. He really goes the extra mile to provide a variety of options in regards to transportation, accommodation and excursions. We appreciated how through Cordell was when it came to ensuring that our trip went smoothly from explaining in detail- insurance policies to picking ideal plane seats! As a person who has spent many hours planning my own vacation and had many headaches along the way on those vacations- I will 100 percent be using Uniglobe and in particular Cordell as my agent again when planning my next getaway! Thank Cordell!
Thank you so much for your review Heather. Cordell is truly a treasure and we're so happy that you have found him.
Fantastic experience: I had to take an emergency last minute flight to France. Damy was super helpful and had me in the sky less than 24 hours after walking in. The flights were delayed but I made all of my connections and got where I needed to be. Definitely a good experience!
Thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience with Damy. We're very happy to hear that everything went smoothly and you were able to get to France quickly.
Fantastic experience: Last night we returned home from a holiday which had turned into an absolute "customer service" nightmare. I won't go into all the details, but I have to say that Damy Omoniyi of Uniglobe Carefree Travel in Saskatoon went well beyond the call of duty to ensure that we were able to check a bag that WestJet refused to assist us with. (I spent at least four hours on hold altogether, getting nowhere with customer service on both the phone and online, and I know she had similar frustrations). Damy was kind, helpful, efficient, and thoroughly professional. Thanks to her I was able to keep my sanity in a very stressful situation -- thank you Damy!
Thank you Margi for taking the time to review your experience with Damy. We are sorry to hear that the end of your trip was bumpy but so very happy that Damy was able to help reduce some of that stress.
Fantastic experience: Jamie Milton has been really wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Uniglobe for all your travel needs!
Thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience with the Uniglobe Carefree Travel team!
Fantastic experience: Damy was great and provided a number of packages based on our budget.
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with Damy. We are thrilled to see it.
Fantastic experience: Leslie Christian handled all of our requests/needs in a timely fashion providing extra context that assisted us in our travel comfort. She is knowledgeable and very easy to communicate with. We look forward to working with Leslie for future travel planning. thank you !
Hi Jason, thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience with Leslie. We're so happy that you have found your travel professional.
Negative experience: Very true expensive, difficult to try to look at flight costs
Hi Shelley, there are many factors that play into vacation and airfare prices. These prices are set by the travel vendors, not the travel agencies. We always try our best to find options that fit our customers' budget. If you would like to contact our agency supervisor, they would appreciate the opportunity to work through this with you.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure to work with Leslie Christian referred and recommend by a friend. I can say she was amazing and this was my first time working with a travel agent and first time traveling this far. She was very responsive, communicative, and answered all questions & concerns. I highly highly recommend to use her for any of your travels as I will continue to use her for all my future travels.
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with Leslie. We're thrilled that you have found her and can now call her your travel agent.
Fantastic experience: We booked a Cancun getaway last year for Christmas, with Karen Katelnikoff and Uniglobe. Pre-trip information was top shelf and had never had better. Prior to departure Karen's communication about what to expect with Sunwing and Cancun was great, and when Sunwing left us sitting in a hotel in Saskatoon for three nights, Karen was amazing even on Christmas da and full refund was issued within 12 hrs. Trip was a bust, but Uniglobe was awesome.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review about your experience with Karen. We're sorry to hear that you were impacted by the December 2021 cancellations but happy that Karen was able to help you through the process.
Negative experience: I reached out to your office twice to help me book flights - once over the phone once in person. Both times I was told I would be sent information by the end of the day. Never once heard back from you. Now my flights have doubled in cost and I cant justify paying that for a trip I spent so much time researching and looking forward to. Very disappointed in your customer service.
Hey there. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our director of customer experience would love to chat with you to learn more about your experience. Please email [email protected] or call 306-934-3400 and ask to speak with Czarina.
Fantastic experience: We booked our trip to Africa from March- April this year. Everything went perfectly as planned , no delays or lost baggage, thanks to Kyra December who helped us with our flight booking.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience with Kyra. We're thrilled to hear that everything went smoothly.
Fantastic experience: Uniglobe is awesome, they book all my work travel and holidays
Taylor, thank you so much for taking the time to review our services. We'll pass your comments along to our team.
Fantastic experience: We had the pleasure of booking our trip with Mira, at the Uniglobe on Circle Drive. The experience could not have been better! Not only were we offered amazing options, but there was absolutely no pushing of things we didn't want or need. Our questions were answered and Mira was always a call or email away. Even with the Sunwing fiasco, Mira was able to get us rebooked and off to where we wanted to go. 15/10 recommend Mira, and Uniglobe on Circle. The best in the Biz.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Mira's service, Chris. We're so glad she was able to support you through the cancellations and get you re-booked.
Negative experience: Horrible experience dealing with UNIGLOBE - STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS. I had book my flights in March 2022 with the help of Cordell and Karen, I was travelling to bring my parents in Canada, SK, but, my uncle got COVID and my parents decided that they cannot leave him like that and I had to postponed my trip, so I reached out to Karen about cancelling my tickets and will re-book again when I know my dates of travel, Karen told me that I won’t be getting the full refund as per the fare rules ( which I understand ) I was never given an option ( when I called her ) that if I cancel my tickets I’ll be charged a cancellation fee and get the balance refunded, I was told by Karen that my tickets are an open tickets which should be used by March 2023 and the full balance will be sitting a Credit with the airlines that I’ve to use by March 2023. I called Karen again to see if she was able to reach out to KLM and explain my situation for the refund, I was schoked by her reply, she told me that “ she has other important clients that she needs to take care of and will email me after talking to KLM, that was my last call to Karen and Uniglobe Travel. Few weeks ago I reached out to Karen again and asked her to see if she can talk to KLM but again the same reply from her ( I guess she was with new bookings and only wants to deal with IMPORTANT persons. I reached out to KLM myself and explained my family’s situation that my uncle died due to COVID followed by my cousin’s ( my uncle’s son ) death due to COVID and KLM understood and helped me and refunded me my money. I’ll never deal with a biased and ignorant Travel agency ever and will definitely spread the word. Thanks to KLM for being a human and ready to help me after understanding my situation. Till this date ( January 25th, 2024 ) no one has ever contacted me even to apologize for their ignorant behavior as this cheesey travel agency does not want to give back my booking fee they charge all the time.
We are very sorry to hear your experience with our agency didn’t meet your expectations. We take to heart your comments and will use them to improve our service going forward. We ask for your understanding that as a travel agency, we are bound by the rules of the airline ticket you purchased. We are very happy that KLM made an exception for you when you called them directly and we are disheartened they wouldn’t approve the same exception when we called on your behalf. As an agency we will always do our best for our clients, within the limitations of the suppliers we sell. One of your managers will be reaching out to you directly.

Fantastic experience: What a whirlwind of a day! Karen at Uniglobe is the BEST! We were dropped by Sunwing (like everyone else) and Karen has us booked in a new resort within the same week with very short notice on a new airline. I highly recommend Karen for all your travel needs. Thanks for all your hard work today!
We agree, what a whirlwind it has been! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we're so happy that you still get to go on your vacation! Travel Well.
Positive experience: Very helpful staff..was enjoyable planning vacation..very knowledgeable would recommend for vacation planning

Fantastic experience: Wonderful Travel Agency. Cordell Strachan is a very kind person who helped me book my Air Canada ticket and took the time to let me know the options about my booking and to select my seats for both ways and to book a wheelchair for me. As i wear an Air Cast Boot and partly blind. Also took the time to inform Air Canada about me been Allergic to all Nut products. If your looking to book any travel contact Cordell at UNIGLOBE.

Fantastic experience: So accommodating and helpful. Correna is the best.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review Rhonda! We're glad you found and love Correna.
Fantastic experience: Karen was amazing to work with. She advocated so hard for our refunds from our canceled March 2020 trip (due to COVID-19). It took 9 months, but she got us our refunds! We’re forever grateful. We will be utilizing her skills for future bookings once the pandemic is over.
Hi Lisa. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review on your experience with Karen. We're sure she's looking forward to working with you again in the future.
Positive experience: I work with them alot when booking flights. Never disappointed. Lately I cancelled my ticket due to Covid back in March and we are still waiting for the refund from the airline. Either than that, I will still book my next flight with then. Karen is awesome and very responsive.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review for Karen. We're so glad to hear that you're happy with her.
Fantastic experience: Uniglobe Carefree Travel Group has been our business and personal travel experts for many years. Recently Stephanie assisted in booking a family dream trip to Europe that had to unfortunately be cancelled because of Covid-19. Stephanie, Jamie and the entire group worked as much to ensure our needs were met after then cancellation as they did in advising us on reccomendations for the trip and initial booking. When the insurance company tried to get out of paying for the cancellation, the Uniglobe team worked hard and we were eventually refunded payment. For sure we will be using their services in the future.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience Kelly. We're thrilled to have been able to help you through the entire process. We're here for you for when you're ready to travel again!
Fantastic experience: Amanda at the UNIGLOBE on Circle Drive in Saskatoon was very helpful to us when planning and booking our trip. We dropped in to see her one day and she came up with several options for us because we weren't sure exactly what we wanted yet. Big resort? Smaller resort? Adults only or not? After mulling over the options for a while (our work schedules were crazy), she checked in with us about the options she'd sent and asked if there was anything else we'd like to consider. Not pushy, not a big sales pitch, which we appreciated. We narrowed down our options and eventually settled on Barcelo Maya Grand in the Riviera Maya. Amanda was great through the whole booking process, and she even provided information about excursions we could do while we were there. We booked two of them through her and she made that very easy as well. The day before we left for vacation, I had arranged to meet with Amanda to go over all of our travel documents and ensure we had everything we needed, which, turns out, I didn't. She printed the other papers off that we needed, and wished us bon voyage! And what a great vacation it was! Thanks so much for your help, Amanda! We had a lovely time in Mexico! Gracias!
We're so happy that you enjoyed working with Amanda and that you had a wonderful holiday! Thank you for your kind feedback Lindsay!
Fantastic experience: Very pleased with my experience using Uniglobe. They make everything easy and the customer service is great!
Thank you so much for your feedback Darcy. We're so happy to hear that you're happy with our service :D

Hi Jerry! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're glad to hear that you're happy with the service we provided.
Fantastic experience: I have had a great experience working with Cordell at Uniglobe. So helpful and very responsive, getting back to me quickly and answering all my million questions. He assisted me in organizing my destination Vegas wedding, and everything went off without a hitch. My guests also told me what a great experience they had working with him. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Congratulations to Jamie and the team at UNIGLOBE Saskatoon on 30 very successful years. 30 years is a remarkable achievement but no surprise based on the great, responsive service we've received from Jamie over the past year of international travels. Well done!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt feedback Lee. We're so happy to have you as a client.
Fantastic experience: Very nice service, had a really nice vacation in Mexico. Thanks to Amanda, she handle our vacation very well.

Fantastic experience: Ask for Joanne
Thanks for taking the time to give us a review Rick!
Fantastic experience: Great customer service and attention to detail!! I will definitely be recommending Uniglobe to my family & friends!
Negative experience: We booked a family vacation here and none of the requests we made were completed being a suite with separate ground floor room didn’t happen and when booking were told just ask at the desk when you get there which didn’t change anything at all the ground floor room didn’t happen either nor it being our wedding anniversary during the trip nothing at all was mentioned to the resort while she made the booking not at all happy with paying a fee to ensure that these requests are completed as a travel company should know that the property we were booked into did not have any suites but the other resort of the same property did sadly we won’t be going back nor recommending this as where to go to book your vacation
Fantastic experience: We used the services of Jamie to plan our Europe trip - from flights to hotels to excursions. Our experience was was fabulous big part to the pre-planning. I would highly recommend Jamie for anyone wanting to take the stress out of planning a vacation!
Thank you so much for your feedback Charlene. We're so happy that you had an amazing vacation thanks to Jamie's service and care.
Fantastic experience: Best customer service ever! Agents are knowledgeable, efficient and pleasant! Will continue to use this agency for our many travels! Stephanie is a gem!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, Francine!
Fantastic experience: Czarina found a great all-inclusive at a good price. She returned my calls quickly and was really informative and patient when answering the many questions I had. Thanks to her, we felt very well prepared for our adventure.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback Wendy! We'll be sure to pass this on to Czarina.
Fantastic experience: I recently booked a last minute elopement to Jamaica with Correna Tymchen at UNIGLOBE Carefree Travel. Correna went above and beyond any expectation we had. She quite literally had our wedding booked and trip planned in less than a week! She was amazing to work with, full knowledge and expertise on destination weddings and the resort she recommended, the Zoetry Montego Bay, was the one we booked and we absolutely loved it. It was perfect. Not only did Correna book and plan our wedding in record time, she also was checking in with the resort while we there to make sure all was set for the wedding, how amazing is that :-) If anyone is looking at booking a destination wedding or an elopement, give Correna a call, she is outstanding! And Correna Tymchen, thank you so much for all of your help. I had no idea where to start when we decided to elope and you answered all of my questions, gave recommendations and helped make our dream wedding come true.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, and very prompt and nice travel agents! Joanne was excellent and very helpful!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback Kristyn. We're happy that you enjoyed working with Joanne.
Fantastic experience: Amanda Campbell is awesome! She booked our trip to Mexico, and helped us find the best excursions to fit our needs!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback!
Positive experience: They can help you book a trip but beyond that nothing really stood out different than any other typical travel agency. Told them I was flexible with the dates and times to get the best deal and I ended up doing most of the groundwork. If you have a set date and time you want to go they could handle that for you but if you're looking for a trip and you want it cheaper might be better if you do the groundwork yourself.
Thank you for your review. While we are happy to see that everything went well on your vacation, we thank you for your feedback regarding the service provided so that we can improve going forward. We would also appreciate the opportunity to win back your business. Please contact Jamie or Colleen at Uniglobe Travel for more details.
Fantastic experience: Booked a few trips with Casie now. Some here some at a previous job, we followed her to her new location because shes that great to work with. Couldn't be more pleased with the service provided and vacation destinations! Ill always continue to use Caise as our Care Free Travel Agent! Thanks again Casie!
Fantastic experience: I have booked previously with Casie at Uniglobe... I am most appreciative of the great customer service that I had received. Casie definitely made my travel plan ....Carefree!!! I look forward to working with Casie in my future travel plans.
Fantastic experience: Great customer service. The agents will make sure your trip is well planned out to the last detail. I would and have recommended the agency to friends. I would gladly continue to use their services for my travels. Thanks to Stephanie my last trip was awesome. Keep up the awesome service Uniglobe.
Fantastic experience: I booked a trip last Christmas with Casie and she was awesome! Provided so many options for us to choose and once we did I didn't have to do anything to get it booked. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Amazing customer service I have dealt with karen for many years and always happy they go the extra mile to make my trip the most enjoyable the dedication and hrs work I wouldn't ever think of using anyone else. I've used them from hotels to car rentals to full all enclusive. And looking forward to the next trip in December
Fantastic experience: The lady I delt with, Casie, was always very helpful and prompt at responding and quoting. I purchased travel insurance at a very reasonable price and have booked a few flights through her. I will definitely be using this company in the future!!
Negative experience: Me and my family have bin dealing with uniglobe for about a year now in that year we have went on numerous trips threw uniglobe and have paid for others on these trips as well. The last trip we asked the lady at uniglobe to look up a price for us and my wife found a competitor who offered the trip for less money. So obviously we went with the competitor. We then again tried to go on another vaction after and called uniglobe again and asked for a price and they said they would not give us a price without having a deposit down. Because we waisted there time with the last trip. Think the lady's name was Trista besides the point I'm sure any one in this world will go the cheaper rout if there is one.
