Most stress free vacation
Reviewed By Jon B - Centerton,AR | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
From our first video call to the end of our vacation Michelle was so helpful. She provided with the exact vacation we were wanting and had each step planned out for us. Travel during Covid precautions is different and she had us totally prepared for Covid test and the immigration process. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a stress free vacation!!

Fantastic first cruise
Reviewed By Danielle - Houston, Texas | Traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands ~ Caribbean
Michele was wonderful to work with on our 7 day cruise. She was so considerate of what we liked and didn’t like to make sure she made recommendations and booked to our liking. She was so thorough and responsive to any questions we had (which was a lot because this was our first cruise experience. She was so professional and organized and presented a packet to us with all the information we would need. She also sent email reminders for check-in and other milestones we needed to meet. I would ABSOLUTELY use Michele again and highly recommend her to anyone planning a trip.

13th anniversary cruise vacation
Reviewed By Mrs. Kirby - Pearland, TX | Traveled to Catalina Island ~ California ~ USA
Michelle was exceptionally easy to work with for our cruise vacation. We used her because I won a travel voucher in a raffle. She was great in the planning process and getting ready for the cruise. We booked airfare on our own but got cancelled because it was Southwest Airlines. She helped us in trying to get information for alternative options. I would definitely book with Michelle again for future vacations.

Superior travel assistance
Reviewed By Glenn S. - Pasadena, Texas | Traveled to Alaska | USA
So very happy with Michele as our travel advisor...First time cruising, we used Michele's assistance to make all our travel plans to Alaska. Her choices & communications were superior!! We had a great time and didn't have any worries, because Michele took care of everything. She also provided a day by day itinerary with all reservation numbers, telephone numbers for contacts, etc. Just recently, we used her services again, for a trip to the New England area for a Fall foliage tour. Again, great times, with her assistance to nail down all details. I dont hesitate to recommend her for anyone planning to travel.

Amtrak Vacation
Reviewed By Pegi Block - Kemah, Texas | Traveled to Glacier National Park | Montana | USA
We have used Michele as our travel agent for numerous trips over the past 3 years and she has always been very helpful in planning every detail of our trips, from airline and hotel reservations to excursions. She was once again excellent in helping us plan this national park vacation to Glacier National Park, Seattle, Mount Rainier, Portland and Mt. St. Helens. As our liaison with Amtrak, Michele made the planning aspects of this trip seamless and stress free and she was able to secure excursions to all our must-see places in the above parks and cities.

Michelle Made My Dad's Dream Cruise Unforgetta
Reviewed By Robert G. - Houston, Texas | Traveled to Cozumel ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
My 75-year-old dad always dreamed of going on a cruise, and Michelle made it happen! She was organizing a church cruise and helped us join the group. Michelle handled everything with Carnival, from booking to preparing packages with our boarding passes and luggage tags, making the whole process smooth.
She even hosted a Zoom call to guide us and answer all our questions. During the cruise, the group dinners Michelle arranged became a highlight, creating lasting memories.
After the cruise, Michelle went above and beyond by helping me get a copy of my room charges to easily split them with my dad. Her attention to detail and personal care made the experience truly unforgettable for both of us.

First Cruise and Not the Oast!
Reviewed By Karen and Glenn - Pasadena, Texas | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Michele is the first travel agent we have worked with, and we would definitely use her again. She worked with us to plan our very first cruise, and the experience traveling to Alaska went seamlessly. We had a lot of questions as first timers , and she explained all of the steps and protocols so we knew exactly what to expect. She is so friendly and such a pleasure to work with. The cruise was a fortieth anniversary gift to ourselves , and Michele even arranged for chocolate covered strawberries and bubbly to be delivered to our room when we arrived.

Amazing Trip/Amazing Agent
Reviewed By Jessica - Beaumont, TX | Traveled to United Kingdom ~ Europe
I found Michele by looking for agents that specialized in a specific tour my family wanted to take. I loved her personality from the beginning! She had our trip booked quickly and details sent to us. From the time we booked, till the time we traveled, she answered all of my many questions and offered suggestions/advice. During our trip we had one small issue and Michele was there to immediately helpful through it despite the time difference. After our trip she scheduled some time to recap our experience, with her and our vacation. After we got back, we immediately started asking about future trips. We've booked with her again and our experience this far has been just as spectacular as the first. I highly recommend her services. I have asked her about many different tours and travel itineraries and she is extremely knowledgeable. She herself travels on the tours and brands she promotes and can offer first hand experience.
