Strongly recommend working with Ann!
Reviewed By Deb - New York, NY | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean
From start to finish, Ann was an incredible resource for us, as we planned our 15th wedding anniversary trip. Ann fielded my *many* questions quickly and with expertise - and always with an upbeat and positive attitude. She let me know what was possible and what wasn't - my family has a unique set of (great!) circumstances that makes planning a trip particularly challenging - and Ann worked within our constraints to send us on a vacation that was absolutely what we were looking for. She did not consider her job done when we were booked - she checked in on us to ensure we had everything we needed up to our journey's start, and checked in with us after, to ensure everything was as it should have been. Ann cut through the clutter of too-much-information available on the internet, got us the real, informed scoop on the place we were going, and got us the vacation we were dreaming of. What a difference it made, to use an expert, versus trying to do this on my own. Huge thanks!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Dream vacation in Cambodia
Reviewed By Traveling Hoosier - Indianapolis, IN | Traveled to Cambodia ~ East and Southeast Asia
We contacted Daily Travel Dose to provide us with a two-week customized tour of Cambodia for a family of 4 (with 2 teenagers). We could not have been more pleased with the result. From day one, Ann Bishop listened to our requests and wishes, made recommendations based on her own experiences, and quickly put together a draft of a proposed itinerary. After several reviews, we settled on an incredible tour at an amazing price point. The trip itself exceeded our expectations: the local guides were fantastic and knowledgeable, the hotels were fabulous, and the local tour operator was very responsive to last minute requests. We highly recommend Daily Travel Dose, and will definitely entrust Ann with our future travel adventures!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Phenomenal trip to Disney & Universal!
Reviewed By Deb - New York, NY | Traveled to Florida ~ USA
Ann is a consistently fantastic travel concierge. This was the 2nd trip we went on through Ann - and I am 100% certain we will work with her again.

We have complex travel needs that would probably turn a less customer-focused professional off. Ann does not back down from a challenge, and embraced working with us! She worked directly with the property to advocate for us on many levels - taking away all stress from us in planning this trip.

Going to Disney and Universal with 3 kids is a big deal (logistically, financially, emotionally). Ann was absolutely fluent in all aspects of visiting both franchises, and used her expertise to make sure we optimized our time there, and got the most out of our visit. She gave us insider tips and went above and beyond in researching every aspect of what we wanted to do with our kids.

Ann did not consider her work done, once we were booked. She checked in before and on arrival - and followed up after. A true professional!
Ann Bishop responded
"Thanks so much! This makes my heart happy :) I can't wait to work with you again!"

She was spot on
Reviewed By Dr. Philip Agrios - Jackson, NJ | Traveled to Arizona ~ USA
Ann is wonderful to work with and very knowledgeable. She gave us great recommendations when we went to Arizona.

She laid it out with a plan and in writing. Everything we wanted to experience, she made sure we achieved what we expected. The hotels, Inns and Bed and Breakfast were amazing.

I highly recommend her for your next trip. We will be going to Italy and she is already planning it out. Can't wait!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
