Great Trip to Lancaster/DC Trip
Reviewed By Don - Zeeland MI | Traveled to Lancaster ~ Pennsylvania ~ USA
We had a great trip to Lancaster PA and Washington DC thanks to the work of Lisa who was great to work with. Hotel recommendations were excellent. Stayed in Alexandria while in DC and the hotel was right across the street from the Metro. Other than some things out of her control, the trip went very well.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
