Everyone should go to Alaska
Reviewed By Chris and Rebecca - Green Bay, WI | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Lucy did an excellent job when it came to keeping us up to date with the ever changing policies with regards to covid. When questions came up, she did her best to find the answers.
The trip that she found for us was amazing, we saw so much of Alaska in a short time. This was our first time using a travel agent for a trip and we found it very helpful.

"Rebecca and Chris
I enjoyed working with you and your family to create a wonderful trip with memories to last a lifetime!
We worked through Covid so you could all travel on this fabulous cruisetour to Alaska. Starting with the train first gave you a real look at Alaska and then getting on the cruise to finish the trip let you see it from the water.
I am glad your experience using a travel agent was a good one.
I look forward to working with you again!

Attention to Detail
Reviewed By Kate - Wausau, WI | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Every detail was laid out for us. She had a quick response time and even checked in with us during the trip.
Lucy Nelson responded
"Katie and Emily
It was such a pleasure working with you on this family cruise. With Covid still being a concern when you traveled it was important to me that we had everyone updated. Always important to know what to expect if the unexpected happens.
I know you enjoyed Alaska and I look forward to helping with future travel plans.
Thanks again!"

Alaska Rail and Drive
The trip was great! We saw Moose, bear. Caribou and dall sheep in Denali so pretty lucky there. Did not see Denali tip but that was OK.
The Columbia glacier was nice but not as awesome as we were expecting. The Fjords from Valdez was awesome. We really liked the whole town of Valdez. We went to Solomon Gulch, a salmon spawning park and saw huge sea lions, seals, otters and beer at the waterfalls there. We really liked that! The scenery’s everywhere was BEAUTIFUL! Especially from Fairbanks to Valdez! Train was also a lot of fun.
The accommodations were very nice too. Pretty unique places! Only minor thought is that the Lakefront in Anchorage could use an update in the hallways and their checkin process is quite slow. The bar/restaurant was great with great viewing of the lake and planes. The rooms were fine too.
Thank you for all your assistance and info! We really do appreciate it!

The trip was great. Everything went as planned and as was detailed in our itineraries. Hotels were nice and wonderfully located. Activities were fun and interesting. We were very happy with your services and enjoyed the cities and activities you selected.
We did take one additional free day as you know. That was just to slow down a bit and enjoy the city of Lucerne. Also, it appeared that the second day in Lucerne had a second boat ride which we decided we didn’t need.
My only comment is that the Hotel Weisse’s Kruez, although well located, was a bit less than par when considered to the other hotels. This is the only change I would consider if I were planning the trip.
All in all, it was great!

Britain & Ireland Escorted Tour
It was a trip that we won’t forget. Our tour guide and driver were fantastic! We got to see almost everything we wanted. The bus was great and we met a lot of nice people. The countries we visited were beautiful and the history was amazing and quiet overwhelming. Was not too impressed with the hotels and included meals. We could have spent a lot more time in London. I would recommend to anyone thinking of doing this tour to book a couple extra days in London just to see it all. It was easy to get around on the tube and public transportation. Our flights and transports were good. I am so glad we did this tour but am glad to be home. Thank you for all you did for us and when we decide to do another trip we will keep you in mind for booking.

Australia and New Zealand
Overall the trip was great!
We really enjoyed the variety of our tours. The worm cave was interesting. The Tongariro crossing climb was a highlight because it was a real sense of accomplishment. The Jet Boat ride was an unexpected thrill. Milford Sound and the Tasmania Glacier Hike were highlights. The Rakia Gorge hike you mentioned to do, (on the way to Sydney) we loved, just stunning. The Bridge Climb in Sydney was well worth it. Your suggestion about the Blow Holes and Pancake Rocks was a must. That was awesome. Phillips Island penguin tour was cool. Didn’t know it was a private transfer so that was a nice surprise.
If I had one suggestion for this trip it would be to spend a month alone in NZ and go back to Australia for another month. However, for us this would not work.
