Recommendations for a German-speaking US-based travel agent?

A friend in Germany is coming to visit the US. He's planning on visiting a dozen (or more) cities while he's here, so he could use the services of a good travel agent. His English is hard to understand, so it would be wonderful if he could email back and forth with a German speaking travel agent. The agent can be in any city, all recommendations welcome!

Contact the Goethe Institut in Washington, D.C.. They teach a course German for Travel Agents. Ask to get the E-mail address of the instructor for the course. An E-mail to them will get you some names, I'd bet.

I highly recommend Renate at Buckingham Travel - [e-mail].
She's excellent, and a native German-speaker.

I agree, the Goethe Institute might be able to point you in the right direction. They have locations in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Washington.

I use US travel agents when traveling abroad... why wouldn't he use a German one?
