Amazing- 2 weeks and 4 cities in Australia!
Reviewed By Bob P - Eastchester, NY | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Pauline was great in many ways! She was very responsive to our barrage of questions. We gave her an outline of what we were looking for, and she filled in the details perfectly, even adding another stop that we hadn't though of. She was able to pivot and make a few changes that came up as the months went on between our booking and our trip. And she always made sure we had the latest detailed copy of our two week, four city itinerary. Thank you, Pauline!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
