Sometimes useful, but usually not
Unlike other travel concierge services & agencies, they do virtually no personalization, don’t offer a dedicated account manager, and don’t intake upfront feedback about what you’re seeking (such as trip parameters & goals) for each request.
You get assigned a random agent each time for each new request, which results in 80% of their recommendations for shopping and travel missing the mark (not being relevant). Many times I felt the agent responded with generic and boring suggestions rather than tailored search results.
Of the 20% that was relevant, half the time there was a mistake (a recommended tour was not actually available) and the other half of the time either the itinerary was significantly price inflated (same exact luxury bookings could be made by other concierges at market rates) or confirmations and adjustments were not handled in a timely manner. We ultimately stopped doing any complex bookings with VB altogether due to poor reliability and low trust.
The only use cases the app has been consistently good for is when you have a very straightforward request that requires very little personalization and is hard to mess up, such as buying a specific item you already know you want or sending flowers to global recipients. For those types of simple actions, VB’s app can be a pleasure and ease to use.
