Bucket list trip
Reviewed By TLM - Cambridge MN | Traveled to Italy | Europe
My bucket list trip was Italy. Dana arranged our hotel transportation to and from the airport excursions to the Vatican museum in the Sistine chapel which wasn't easy since the chapel was closing due to the conclave! She also arranged our coliseum tour. We were able to take the train to Naples to see Pompeii and she had our tickets already arranged for that as well. One night in Florence with hotel stay that was flawlessly arranged. Everything went off without a hitch. I would highly recommend Dana for your travel needs.

Dana is truly the travel planning rockstar everyone needs! She coordinated a trip for over 30 of us to Nashville, and every single detail was flawless. Flights and accommodations to group activities and recommendations. Planning a trip for that many people is not simple, but Dana made it look effortless. She was organized, responsive, and thoughtful every step of the way. Thanks to her, we were able to relax and enjoy the trip without a single worry. I can’t recommend her enough! She will be my go to every trip moving forward! Thank for all your hard work Dana..
