Maria made my trip wonderful. I have not been out of the country and or on a plane in years . She was always quick to respond to any email or text. At the last minute she helped me go on an excursion with the group which turned out to be the highlight of my trip. Definitely recommend going through Maria.

Mrs. McKinstry was so incredibly helpful throughout the who trip planning process. We are a bunch of college kids who really struggled narrowing down details and Mrs.Mckinstry was so patient and helpful throughout it all. We couldn't have done it without her!

I was very hesitant to go on a cruise at all but went with my family and a large group of friends. Maria was so helpful in helping us all navigate not only a large group, but also answer all of my nervous first timer questions. The trip was so much fun and effortless thanks to all of Maria’s help! I highly recommend her.

We have worked with Maria twice now and she has been nothing short of amazing in help us plan our vacations. She is so communicative, helpful, and kind. She always emailed me back very quickly and was happy to answer any questions we had. 10/10 would always recommend!

Maria was so helpful in planning and executing our annual president's club trip. From reviewing and booking the resort to arranging flights from several cities to coordinating the team's excursion and transfers, Maria was critical to creating a great experience for our team. She was a great partner for our marketing team in planning a very important event for our company!

Maria did a fantastic job planning out our celebratory trip of 16 people to an all inclusive resort in Cancun! Would certainly use her experience and expertise navigating a vacation again!

We were a group of 21 people, ranging from 5 years old to 80 years old during the busy holidays. Maria handled all our bookings and reservations and did a superb job. We were very impressed.

We just returned from our 30th anniversary trip to the Sandals Grande St. Lucian resort that Maria planned for us. She helped us choose our room and assisted us when we had to rearrange our trip dates when American Airlines changed our nonstop return flight to a 3 hour connection in Miami! She kept in contact with us over the months after booking our trip with reminders to review dining options and explore optional activities. Her "must bring" emails and packing tips were on point. Thanks for the reminder to bring water shoes and waterproof phone cases! She even made sure we checked in early to the resort, completed our customs online documents and checked into our flights. These reminders were very helpful. This was our first time staying at a Sandals property and it was better than we anticipated. The property was lovely and the all inclusive package didn't disappoint. We stayed in the Oceanview Penthouse Club level room. We really enjoyed staying in the Club level. The wine & Cheese and the Martini evening events were fun, as we watched the sunset from the club lounge balcony. We booked the Soufriere Experience with the mud baths, waterfall and snorkeling activities. The snorkeling was amazing - we swam with a school of fish! What a fun experience, thanks to Maria for the recommendation! The resort dining options and included activities were great. We enjoyed the London Pub - the fish and chips were good and the burger was a surprising delight! Kimonos hibachi was fun and delicious, Toscanini was great Italian, and we had our anniversary dinner at Gordons on the Pier - the surf and turf was wonderful. We ate breakfast at the buffet - the omelet station was delicious! We worked out in the gym a few of the days and got a chance to sail and waterski (all included). The pool and beach were lovely. It was truly a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. Thanks to Maria for helping make our anniversary trip so spectacular!

Maria helps us with our travel frequently, and most recently with two trips -- one to Jamaica and one to New Zealand. She has been incredibly helpful and responsive every step of the way, ensuring every detail of our vacations was just right. We highly recommend her!

Maria planned our large family vacation this year and did a fantastic job! She gave us a selection of ideas on where to travel and then planned our vacation with every detail, even all of our dinner reservations for our large group. We would highly recommend Maria for your vacation planning needs!

Maria was great in terms of helping identify an appropriate place to vacation based on our group's desires. We had a great time where we stayed and the coordination and communication was extremely helpful for us all. 14 person trip was a success.

Maria set up the perfect end to High School for these young men and great friends! It was a trip that they will never forget!

Maria was very helpful.

Maria's planning & coordination of our of special anniversary trip was outstanding. All of our family commented how much they enjoyed the all inclusive resort, the pool and all the activities available to everyone. We would definitely consider returning here in the future.

Maria has recommended and planned several trips for my family, often I look for her advice with destinations if we are open to ideas and have never been let down with her suggestions . She is extremely knowledgeable and attentive to detail . She will often provide us with multiple options for our review and work efficiently at booking our requests . My travel game has changed since I started relying on Maria for my travel needs , her experience and knowledge has led to some of the most amazing vacations we have taken .

If you're even thinking about working with a travel agent—this is your sign to book with Maria McKinstry immediately!! She is, hands down, the best travel agent in the world. No exaggeration. We were caught in the whirlwind of wedding planning and had zero energy left to plan a honeymoon. Just weeks before our wedding, we reached out to Maria hoping she could help—and WOW did she deliver! From the first conversation, Maria was warm, personable, and so easy to connect with. She made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. We had no idea where we wanted to go or what we wanted to do, but she came through with expert advice and guidance at every step. She helped us stay within budget and presented us with amazing options based on our vibe. We chose Ladera Resort in St. Lucia (a DREAM!!) thanks to her, and it was more incredible than we ever imagined. She even secured us resort credits and gave us the best tips to prepare. We only had one day between the wedding and the

Maria is delightful to work with! I highly recommend her services. She left nothing to chance, made very useful suggestions and kept us informed every step of the way. Maria expertly coordinated the trip to run flawlessly. Her planning brought eight women, from various states, together at Cancun airport for prearranged transportation to the hotel! Everything at the hotel was ready and waiting for us, dinner reservations were lined up and beach cabana was reserved. Maria did an excellent job and our trip was WONDERFUL!

Maria planned a memorable vacation in Mexico for my family and I. It was completely hassle free from the moment we stepped off the plane to the moment we went back to board the plane back home. She set up transportation, dinner reservations, etc. All we had to do was sit back and enjoy.

Working with Maria made the entire process of planning, preparing, traveling and returning home basically seamless and a great experience. She was very proactive in providing updates along the way, as well as "need to know/need to do" information along the way. We had a last minute add of one family member late in the process and she was able to make it happen. This particular trip was a high school senior spring break with 20+ kids and almost as many parents. She was always super responsive to the hundreds of our questions along the way. We will use her again.

We had an amazing time our spring break with our sons high school, friends and families. Maria was excellent from the get-go and helping us plan for a large group, accommodating individual requests, and making sure everyone had what they needed from the day we booked to the day we got home.

The trip was well planned and organized. The facility was gorgeous! If any question came up during the trip at all, Maria answered us quickly and accurately. I was very impressed by the entire trip and especially by her professionalism!

Everything was absolutely amazing! Thank you Maria for planning such a special trip!

We had a wonderful Spring Break Trip with our high school senior. The arrangements made by Maria were excellent and stress free.

Maria was fantastic to work with. She was very prompt in her emails and full of useful information. I highly recommend her to anyone planning a trip.

Maria successfully organized over 70 kids and parents ! She responds quickly and so kind! Would highly recommend!!

Maria was absolutely amazing! I don't know how she does it she coordinated everything perfectly for a group of almost 100 people and that was just for one school spring break there's no telling how many more she had going on but I would absolutely recommend her to anyone for anything family trips to large groups anytime it was flawless! thank you Maria

We had a group of 50+ high school seniors and their families. I have NO idea how Maria kept everything organized, provided timely information and made it SO easy so all we had to do was show up. Will be using her again for sure!

She's not a travel agent, she's a memory maker and gift! This trip was our first international trip with our son and that was special. What was even more special was it was trip with his senior friend group, their parents and our friends. Maria made this complicated trip seem effortless. We spent time with old friends and made new ones. The time with our son and his friends is a gift we will have forever. Maria made all this possible. I plan to use her services for all our trips (huge family) and we can't wait to go back to this wonderful resort.

Maria managed our entire senior class trip to Punta Cana, D.R. and did an incredible job on all facets of planning for such a large group! There is so much that went into orchestrating flights, hotel, activities, etc and Maria handled it all perfectly. Thank you so much - the kids all had a blast!

For our annual girls weekend we decided on Mexico this year! Maria was fantastic from start to finish. Every detail was handled and we had zero issues during our travel. From flight checkin to resort transportation and checking, everything was seamless! Thank you Maria!

Maria helped a group of 15 of us book hotels, airfare, and transportation to Punta Cana. She recommended a beautiful hotel with amazing food and atmosphere. Maria could not have made it easier for all of us and we will definitely use her again in the future.

Maria helped my friends and I plan a great trip, everything went so smoothly and we couldn’t have done it without her!

Maria has booked several trips for my family starting with amazing suggestions when I need help picking a location to planning every detail for us perfectly and seamlessly

Working with Maria is always a wonderful experience. She is knowledgeable, efficient, and always works in the best interest of her customers. She willingly works to get rebookings when delays are encountered.

Maria is an amazing travel agent. My family has used her for multiple trips, and she truly makes the process easy and seamless.

During this trip, Maria's expertise was so appreciated as we endured a travel nightmare due to the storms in FL. 19+ flight delays, a flight cancellation, missed connection, airport swaps, etc- Maria was on top of contacting AA to make sure our itinerary was changed expediently. Because of her, we did not have to wait in the hours-long lines at the customer service desk. She also gave us a much-needed pep talk when we hit hour 30 of the debacle! We could not have done it without her!

This is the 2nd time Maria has coordinated travel for my family. Last year, it was my son's senior trip to Cancun, and this year, it was my extended family back to the same resort. From A to Z, Maria managed every detail timely and accurately. My family voiced their feedback throughout our trip in terms of how responsive she was and her overall communication about the trip which for some was their first international travel experience. We are already discussing our next family vacation and will absolutely enlist Maria's services again and again until she either wins the lottery or retires:-)

My experience working with Maria McKinstry was AWESOME. Any questions that I had she was definitely on it.

Maria was wonderful to work with! Very thorough and always responded to our questions in a timely manner. Will definitely be working with her again on future trips.

Excellent service and we will definitely use them again for our next destination trip.

Maria was great to work with. She took care of EVERYTHING from initial planning more than a year in advance to our return home from the trip. Her many suggestions were wonderful and made for a memorable vacation for the whole family. Thanks Maria

Maria was great to work with! We had a last minute change of plans and she was able to provide me with some alternate options to ensure we still had a wonderful vacation. Was easy to work with!

Maria was SO helpful in planning our vacation this winter. We've never gone on a big trip like this and she took care of absolutely everything. Our travel and check in/out was so easy, and Maria was easily accessible during every step. We really appreciated her recommendations after getting to know us over the phone and she went above and beyond to make our trip so easy and relaxing.

Maria was wonderful organizing our trip and keeping us up to date during the whole process. She always responded very quickly to emails and phone calls. I will contact he for my next trip!

Maria is amazing! She is very knowledgeable and prompt with her responses.

Maria was extremely helpful. Going above to arrange last minute arrangements requested for the group.

Maria was great - knowledgeable and prompt. She made everything easy!

She was very professional and quick to respond

Excellent

She was great to work!! Highly recommend!!

Maria did an amazing job planning this trip and working with over 70 families to ensure we felt safe and that it was a smooth and easy process.

Excellent in every way

Maria has been phenomenal in planning our senior Spring Break trip. She always answered any questions and concerns I had immediately and did an incredible job communicating directions and details relating to the trip!

She made our whole trip seamless!

Maria was very thorough and communicative from the beginning to literally this survey. As a person of excellence, I appreciate excellence. And excellent was my experience from end to end. Absolutely will use your services in the future - as soon as next summer! WELL DONE!!!

My experience dealing with Maria was excellent. She had great ideas, attention to detail and excellent service.

Maria is the best! I was not the easiest client in our group to deal with but Maria was so patient and helpful. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a travel agent. I will definitely use her in the future, like it or not. :-p

Maria is Top Notch!!! I had a complicated and sensitive personal issue that affected my reservation and she was compassionate and diligent to make sure things were worked out. All the while she was working with 75 other families that were going on the same trip. I can’t say enough good things about her and highly recommend her!

Maria was fabulous to work with. She is extremely organized and does an exceptional job communicating the travel details.

Maria is the most efficient, organized and caring travel agent I ever worked with. She always responds right away to your questions, and follows up as well. She cares so much about your travel plans and you just know you are in good hands with her. She is so detailed oriented, and stays in contact with you from start to finish! Our flight got cancelled coming home from Mexico, and although she was on her own family vacation, she had her assistant get us on a new flight within minutes. She is truly amazing!

Maria was wonderful helping us plan, organize and set up our vacation. With many questions that I asked. Never did she get annoyed and was always extremely helpful & nice! I will totally use her service again!

Great.

Worked with Maria for a high school spring break trip.
