Professional Service with a Personal Touch
Reviewed By Jody & Marty - Solon, Iowa | Traveled to Danube ~ On the River ~ At Sea
Leslie has a way of nailing down the perfect trip for us. Her knowledge of vacation destinations is vast, and the hotels and excursions she has hooked us up with have been first rate. She's professional, incredibly informed and is keenly aware that one size does not fit all. I appreciate that most of all. At her suggestion we recently took a Danube River cruise on the Scenic Amber. It was first rate. Scenic is a fabulous experience. We met great people and had a wonderful time. We saw beautiful cities along the Danube and, again at her suggestion, did a pre-cruise extension in Prague. It was simply wonderful. I whole-heartedly recommend Leslie. Give her a call for your next trip!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Sailing Adventure
Reviewed By Jane1 - Florida, Ontario | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
Three friends from two countries decided to sail the Caribbean last winter. It was a bit complicated to arrange when dealing with two different currencies and schedules. Leslie handled these travel arrangements with courtesy and confidence. She made recommendations for hotels and leisure prior to boarding. She sent a full daily itinerary with photos of how the cruise would roll out. We knew we were in capable hands from the time we initiated the request for travel help to the end of the trip. And she apportioned the expenses appropriately guiding us what was highly recommended and what was optional. We could not have done this on our own. Another trip is brewing in my mind and she will organize it for us. Thank you Leslie
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Awesome Cruise Experience
Reviewed By TravelMorein26 - Chattanooga, TN | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
Leslie helped us plan a cruise to the Caribbean for Thanksgiving. There were 18 people in our group and she made the process so smooth and seamless for us. All we had to do was pay the fare by the due date. It doesn’t get much easier than that.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
