California Wedding
5 Stars Traveling with Sandy Toes was great! Diana setup my flight, car rental, and lodging, all I had to do was relax at my destination and enjoy the scenery. Diana offered local insight and recommended visiting some of the lesser known spots along the California coast. Pro tip: Diana recommended bringing along a water bottle through airport security to fill while catching flights.

5 star Sandy Toes planned my whole Disney vacation and when a hurricane prevented us from going, she took care to make sure our insurance covered it and our money was returned.

Accessible Travel
5 stars review I have special needs on my adventures, I see the world from my wheelchair. Traveling requires extra thought and Diana planned my days perfectly. She made sure our hotels were wheelchair friendly and would meet all my needs. She also called ahead to ask if the adventures I wanted to go on were wheelchair accessible. If you want your vacation to be worry free Diana is your person. 10 stars
