An Easy and Awesome Experience !! Sonja is THE BEST !!!
Reviewed By Sparky and Kathy - Lorton, Virginia | Traveled to Paris | France | Europe
Sonja worked with our 25 person group from all parts of the US. We took an AMA river cruise from Paris to Normandy and back. Sonja flawlessly arranged the tour, all air transport, airport greeting and "pickup without a hiccup" at all points along the way. We were a somewhat elderly group, and she was notably kind and patient with our various quirks, calamities, phobias, and issues. We not only felt we got superior travel agent service, but knew we had made a lifelong friend . I could not recommend any professional more highly for compassion and caring combined with savvy and expertise. Sonja, there's no one beyondja !! Thanks, and we'll be back !!!!

The Magic of Paris, the Seine and Disney
Reviewed By Disney Duo - San Dimas, CA | Traveled to France | Europe
We are so thankful for your expertise in putting together our wonderful vacation! So many details you handled made details seamless. We appreciate the way you planned our driver waiting to pick us up at the airport. The Hotel Litre was perfect! Then on to our bucket list of dinner at the Eiffel Tower and up to the top after dark. Which did not disappoint! …
Our lovely AMA Lyre was waiting for us with lunch and our room was perfect! All the tours and tour guided were amazing. We especially enjoyed our delightful Omaha Beach Tour Guide as she shared her expertise so well! Thankful we had such nice weather for Giverny as that was my favorite????
Our Disney plans went very well. All in all a magical trip that we will always remember??Thank you so much for all your expertise!

Sonja is more than a travel agent!!!
Reviewed By Adriana - California | Traveled to Brasilia | Brazil | South America
Working with Sonja has been one of the greatest gifts in my travels. She isn’t just a travel agent — she is the quiet, steady force that turns impossible schedules into smooth, beautiful experiences. Every detail she touches becomes simpler, clearer, and more aligned. She anticipates needs before they arise, solves problems before they exist, and holds every trip with the same love and precision as if it were her own.
What I love most about Sonja is her heart. She cares deeply, she listens fully, and she moves with a generosity that makes you feel supported at every step. I always say that she is “our angel who makes our adventures possible,” because that’s exactly what she is — someone who brings ease, clarity, and magic into the logistics so we can focus on living the moments.
Her attention to detail is unmatched, her professionalism is impeccable, and her kindness is unforgettable. Traveling with her support gives me a level of peace and trust that I didn’t know I needed until I experienced it.
If you have the chance to work with Sonja, you’re not just getting a planner — you’re gaining a partner who is as invested in your journey as you are. And that is priceless.

My husband and I had a fantastic trip by plane, train and automobile. Sonja's attention to detail got us every upgrade that we wanted. The flights were 1st class the hotels were absolutely divine and all the tours were where we wanted to go. She was always on hand if we had a question and took care of the little glitches that can happen along the way. All in all we had a memorable, relaxing vacation. Exactly what we asked for.

She treats you like family...
Reviewed By Fbdigs - HB, CA | Traveled to Hawaii | USA
We’ve known Sonja for as long as we can remember, and watching her bring that same kindness, thoughtfulness, and natural intuition into her work as a travel consultant has been such a joy. She approaches every trip with a level of care that goes far beyond logistics—you can feel her heart in the way she listens, guides, and makes sure every detail feels right.
What stood out most was how deeply Sonja wanted us to have an experience that felt meaningful, not just well-planned. She checked in with genuine concern, offered ideas that showed she truly understood us, and handled everything with such grace. It felt less like working with a travel consultant and more like being looked after by someone who sincerely wants the best for you...just like family.
We’re incredibly proud of the professional Sonja’s become and endlessly grateful for the way she cared for us throughout the entire process.

Everyone should have Sonja Strzoda in their corner!
Reviewed By Gretchen Leonard - La Jolla, CA | Traveled to Paris | France | Europe
My experience with Sonja is nothing less than exceptional. It goes without saying that she is efficient, knowledgeable, and resourceful. What truly sets Sonja apart is her ability to ask thoughtful questions that lead to better decision-making. Travel at its best can be exhilarating and enriching, and at its worst, disappointing, stressful, and with unplanned challenges. I wouldn't dream of planning a trip without her. Sonja minimizes the inherent risks of travel and helps your travel dreams come to reality; she is there when you need to pivot or change course.- I recommend her without reservation!

Family trip of a lifetime
Reviewed By Audrey - Huntington. Beach, CA | Traveled to Greece | Europe
I literally had the best time of my life last summer on our family vacation to London and Greece. We were a large party of 7 and Sonja was instrumental in planning all the details of our two week vacation. There were lots of moving parts with different hotels (Athens, Crete, London), air travel for all of us coming from different locations, airport transfers, restaurant and tour reservations, welcome gifts at each destination, the list goes on. It was truly a five star experience and everything she recommended was five star on all levels. Her response time is immediate and she is very thorough with all the details and planning. I highly recommend Sonja for all your travel plans and she is currently planning a round 2 European vacation for all of us again. This time it's London, Paris and Spain. I cannot wait!!

A spiritual journey for a lifetime!!
Reviewed By Drthomj - Claremont Ca 91711 | Traveled to France | Europe
Sonja put together a marvelous spiritual journey for my group in October 2025. She organized our river cruise from Paris to Normandy on AMA waterways which was fantastic.
She also organized a pre-cruise tour all around Paris, which included the Notre Dame and Saint Chapelle. It was only with her expertise and connections that she made it happen for us.
She personally cared for each of the travelers, addressing each of their needs, making sure they all were very satisfied. I would highly recommend Sonja‘s expertise and quality service.
I would especially recommend her for putting together group tours, as we all returned home with a lifetime of lovely memories and wonderful new friends. Her hard work and perseverance will always be appreciated.!

The best vacation ever!
Reviewed By Lisa A. - Fairfax Station, Virginia | Traveled to France | Europe
Good morning Sonja, I hope you had a wonderful vacation, we certainly did, thanks to you. This was quite possibly, the best vacation we have ever had. Thank you so much for taking the reins on this. Everything you planned for the pre- cruise as well as the cruise, itself, was top drawer. I don’t say that lightly as I am a perfectionist with high expectations. I enjoyed it all.
Our pre -tour venues were all terrific. Went smoothly, great guides, big bang for our dollars/ euros. Thank you for the help you gave us handling some minor hiccups. Not one negative to say.
AMA Cruise Line has broken the code on the care and feeding of passengers. This was our second cruise on this line. From boarding to the airport drop off, exceeded our expectations. Noteworthy, the tour guides they selected were exceptional as was the tour itinerary. They created a wonderfully intimate atmosphere on the boat. It was fun, interesting , food great ( I loved the cheese in France!!) They were all delightful.
Clearly the nicest touch- on departure, we arrived at the airport with our large suitcases and we’re dreading dragging them into the airport. We were met at our van by an AMA representative with a cart, who took our bags and escorted us to the appropriate counter. What an unexpected and wonderful treat. Perfect way to close the trip on a very high note. Yesterday, we received a post cart from crew, hand written - great touch. Will book with them again.
