Salvaged a long awaited family trip to Orlando!
Reviewed By Lloyd - Landmark | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Irene was great to work with! Always very accessible; responded promptly to messages/questions. Very thorough in her research.
When we were encountering serious travel issues around Christmas she dropped whatever she was doing to help us deal with very stressful situations.
And to top it off, when Westjet was going to refund us our airfare to Orlando/return and wash their hands of us, she found flights out of Grand Forks and got Westjet to cover those costs!
What a Blessing she was to us!

Irene had a Plan B for every travel fiasco we encountered.
Reviewed By Reluctant traveler - Winnipeg, Manitoba | Traveled to Amsterdam | Netherlands | Europe
Air travel during the pending Air Canada Flight Attendant strike left us uneasy and anxious. Irene arranged parallel flights well in advance with other airlines that were totally refundable. Knowing we would not miss our cruise or lose our hotel deposits made all the difference in our comfort levels. When the strike was averted Irene reissued our original tickets and got our plan B tickets refunded. I would have hated to do all of this work myself. My husband and I are grateful to have been on the receiving end of Irene’s
competence and professionalism.
Irene Neustaedter responded
"Thank you for the kind words. I thoroughly enjoy working with you and look forward to wherever your dreams take you next.

Great summer trip!
Reviewed By T0bler0ne - Winnipeg | Traveled to London | England | Europe
Irene was a fantastic help planning our summer trip to Europe. She was able to help me organize hotels and transportation, and provide itinerary recommendations. She was always quick to respond and help where able.
Once on our trip, the online itinerary was a lifesaver, as it included all reservations along with tickets for our various transportation.
As we prepared to leave Europe, the Air Canada strike was looming that same day potentially impacting our flights home. Irene kept in regular contact during this stressful period and planned contingencies should our flights get canceled. This really reinforced her great service, and made me thankful we had decided to use a travel agent!
Highly recommend Irene, and will be using hed services on our next big trip!

Portugal and Tour the Douro on Emerald
Reviewed By Tom and Sharon - Winnipeg, MB, Canada | Traveled to Portugal ~ Europe
Irene is an exceptional travel agent and is also extremely knowledgeable in her travel industry. She goes above and beyond her responsibilities and is always there for you, even when you are on your actual trip. On one of European trips we were stranded at the Frankfurt Airport and we were able to connect with her about helping us with accommodations over night and assist with getting us flight tickets the next day. On this most recent vacation, we went to Portugal including an 7 Day Emerald River Cruise down the Douro River and Irene with her expertise and knowledge put a package together for us that was fabulous. Besides all those assets, Irene most of all is welcoming, kind, listens to what your vacation needs are and is extremely thorough and organized. Informative phone calls and emails from Irene take the stress away from planning your trips. We definitely would recommend Around the World in 80 Ways to family and friends. You’re simply the best and thank you.

Stress-free vacation in a complicated time
Reviewed By Stephen - Halifax, Nova Scotia | Traveled to Fiji ~ South Pacific
Irene organized a phenomenal trip for us that simply would not have been possible without her help.
My partner and I decided to go on vacation in Fiji with about 2-weeks notice, over Christmas period, and amidst complicated and rapidly changing travel requirements related to COVID-19. Despite limited availability of flights and hotels, Irene quickly narrowed in on plan suited our schedule and travel interests and made it happen. She then carefully organized the details of the trip and ensured that every piece was in place for safe and smooth travel. She responded instantly to every request both in the planning phase and mid-travel.
I usually like to plan trips myself but I now appreciate the considerable advantage of working with a travel agent. I consider myself to be very well organized and meticulous, but this trip simply would not have been possible (let alone smooth and exceedingly enjoyable) without Irene's hard work.
