Reviewed By Angie - Ham Lake | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Maggie was extremely helpful with finding a resort in Punta Cana. Going to a place where there are many choices, it was great to have a helping hand. Her connection and expertise proved worthy as we were well taken care of while before, durong and after our trip. We will be calling on Maggie again and again for our future trips.

Fantastic Service
Reviewed By Doc D - NEW BRIGHTON | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Ms Knuteson provided first class service on both trips we arranged through her. This was especially true on our Alaska trip that was canceled because of the Covid-19 virus. She was able to get all our money refunded without any penalties.

Complicated trip, creative solutions
Reviewed By Steve Y. - Eagan, MN | Traveled to Georgia ~ USA
I wanted to plan a surprise trip for my wife, no easy task since it's impossible to "hide" expenditures from my spouse. Our destination was Greyfield Inn on Cumberland Island, Georgia. Because certain elements of the trip required prepayment, it was sometimes tricky to figure out how to make commitments without exposing the plot to my wife. Maggie always found solutions. She was prompt, kind, and detail-oriented, exactly what you want in a travel agent. I would and have recommended her to friends, and would definitely work with Maggie and with Travel Leaders again.
Maggie Knuteson responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so glad you both had a memorable trip. The secrecy was a challenge, but I'm happy you were able to tell your wife about your trip in the manner and time you chose. Thank you again, Maggie "

    Avalon Danube Dreams: History, Heart & Memories

    My Azamara Quest Intensive France Voyage

    Travel is about immersing yourself in the destination and my recent Azamara Intensive France Cruise was exactly that. There are only 702 guests on board the Azamara Quest, the atmosphere felt very intimate, which I personally enjoyed. There is no casino, no loud distractions — just elegant spaces, a relaxed onboard vibe, and Free self-service la...

    Avalon European River Cruise
    The trip was fabulous! They are so organized with everything. We did all the city tours that were offered and the one extra tour in Amsterdam. All of the tour guides really knew their stuff. The tours were informative and you learned a lot. After the city tours they gave you free time to do what you wanted. When you left on a tour they had water for you and when you returned to the boat they had juice and a wash cloth for you. You never felt rushed or overwhelmed. They offered a tasting menu for dinner and a grill lunch where you had to sign up because seating was limited. The food was very good but it was more Americanized. Every single person on the boat was very, very nice. Happy hour every day where drinks were only $4. The crew put on a show one night and it was hilarious! I can't say one thing bad about it but if I had to pick one thing it would be to have bigger glasses in the lounge for ice tea. We would take another cruise and would highly recommend it.

    Anniversary Trip at The El Dorado Royale Mexico
    Hi Maggie, It was a wonderful trip. Everything worked out perfectly! We stayed on property the whole time, just relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful weather. They are building what will be the “world’s largest” man-made coral reef so they have blocks that are in the process of sinking into the ocean to form the foundation. It hindered the ocean view and will for about six months, but the end result will be a wonderful addition to the property. They have new restaurants that have opened, the Santa Fe Restaurant was our favorite! Thank you for helping us get this planned so quickly, Maggie! We will be contacting you again for our future trips!
