Exceeded our expectations!
Reviewed By Newlyweds - St. Louis, Missouri | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
This was our first time working with Maureen to book a vacation. After selecting a destination, she presented options for multiple resorts at different price points to choose from. Once we decided, she was able to book the trip with only a $40 deposit and allowed us to pay down our balance at our own desired increments. She also coordinated private transfers to and from the airport. The entire vacation could not have gone more smoothly, but had something gone awry, it was comforting knowing that we could contact Travel Leaders at any time for assistance. We got back less than three weeks ago and have already been in touch with her regarding our next vacation! We highly recommend her services and plan to continue working with her for all future vacations from here on out.

My trip started with a few days on the island of Ishcia which is a little over an hour ferry ride from Naples and was rated as the top island in Europe by Travel and Leisure readers in 2016.

    Italy 2023 Trip of a lifetime
    Our trip to Italy was a “dream come true” in all respects. The recommendations you and the A&R staff made for the itinerary were wonderful. We enjoyed the combination of structured tours in the morning and free time to explore on our own in the late afternoon and evenings. All the guides were exceptional! The transportation logistics were flawless and always on time. We have already referred your services to our friends and will do so in the future. We would also recommend A&R to your other clients.

    Italy Vacation of a Lifetime
    I had an amazing time in Italy. I can honestly say that this was a trip that I have been dreaming about since I was five years old. I always knew it would not live up to my expectations I built over the years, but I was excited anyway. To my surprise, it even passed those expectations. Every tour guide was extremely well informed, interesting and very friendly, the tours were perfectly timed and exactly what I wanted to see, the hotels were perfect in every city with location and views that just seemed as beautiful as the paintings in my museum tours. Thank you for doing such an amazing job at putting this unbelievable Italian trip of a lifetime together.

    Italy Vacation
    Working with Maureen on our first trip to Italy was a wonderful experience, and she comes highly recommended. Her knowledge of the country made booking hotels, trains tickets and day-to-day actives a breeze and very efficient. Plus, she worked within our budget further putting us at ease! On top of it all, when we ran into weather related travel issues on the return she reached out to us to assist in anyway she could! Now that's exemplary customer service! Best!! :)
