What Our Clients Say About Us…

What a pleasure it is to write a review for my new favorite travel agent!
While speaking to Tina about plans to attend a wedding, I decided to ask about taking an unrelated, impromptu trip to Mexico. I love to travel but hate to make plans, so the entire process couldn’t have been easier for someone like me. The trip was well organized with all the details covered in the short amount of time she was given. Having not been Mexico, Tina was patient with me, answering all my questions and especially helpful while guiding me through traveling during a pandemic. When in Mexico as a Hurricane developed, Tina was amazing! She reached out to help prepare us for what might happen well in advance and stayed in close contact. Through it all, I had a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back which is largely in part to all of Tina’s help along the way. I look forward to continuing to work with her in preparation for my friend’s wedding!

Our Hawaii family vacation exceeded our expectations!  We had a great room with an amazing view to fit our family comfortably.  Nicole was flexible with her time and responsive to our questions and requests.  She checked in with us multiple times throughout the process. Thank you for designing an amazing family vacation.  These memories will be with us always!

Stephen is great because he anticipates where the problems or questions might come up and solves them and answers them in advance. He’s very thorough and thoughtful!

Karla was so helpful with planning our honeymoon! She worked with our budget to offer us some options and then adjusted for us when we decided we wanted a longer stay. It was our first time traveling outside of the country and she gave us the best tips. Her travel instructions were so detailed – we knew exactly what to do in the airports and how to get to our transportation. It would’ve been overwhelming otherwise as we are not experienced travelers! The resort we stayed at was exactly what we asked for. I will be booking with her again when the next vacation needs to be put on the calendar!

We just returned from an amazing trip to France to see the Women’s World Cup.  Tina and Stephen guided us through the entire trip with amazing knowledge and great customer service.  I even had a few questions while we were overseas and they were very responsive, giving us great little tips along the way.  I can’t even imagine trying to do this trip without their help.  I can’t wait for the next trip!

Karla was absolutely AMAZING!  Not only did she help me find the wedding venue of my dreams, she booked every-single one of our guests (30 people) she made sure we all had everything we needed to fly out of the country, provided us with fun little tips we needed to know being tourists in another country.  Karla took the time to call and check in with each of us to make sure we were on track with our documentation…  She made my wedding planning experience so much easier!  A HUGE THANK YOU to you Karla!!!  Thank you for making my life easier and helping me plan the wedding of my DREAMS!!!
