Unparalleled Service!
Reviewed By Chris - Victoria, BC | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
I can't speak highly enough about the quality of service Yvonne provided. We have been searching for years for a good travel agent, and Yvonne's professionalism, talent, and work ethic went above-and-beyond.
During an unexpected Omicron quarantine, Yvonne worked the back channels to sort out my reimbursement and return flights, when a cruise representative was unreachable. I don't think I've ever seen such dedicated customer care as Yvonne provided to me.
The real test of customer service is what it's like when things go wrong. My experience with travel agents in the past has been limited to someone who books you a ticket, and nothing more. Yvonne, on the other hand, was committed to the success of our entire trip. As far as I'm concerned, she has set the bar.
I realize this sounds like hyperbole, but I mean it 100%: If you're lucky enough for Yvonne to take you on as your travel agent, don't pass up that opportunity. We'll never use anyone else.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Our Amazing River Cruise!
Reviewed By GDPat - Halifax, Nova Scotia | Traveled to Rhine River ~ On the River ~ At Sea
Yvonne did an amazing job and found us the perfect River Cruise on the Rhine through Amawaterways! She asked questions to understand our interests, explained our options for the numerous excursions, and helped us make the final decision. She checked in on us regularly before, during and after the cruise to ensure everything was going according to plan. Our trip was a dream vacation!! I don’t hesitate to recommend Yvonne and will definitely use her services again in the future! If you want to work with a travel agent who truly cares and will work hard for you, then Yvonne is your lady!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best Cruise by Far
Reviewed By Dean - Halifax, Nova Scotia | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Yvonne did an amazing job of organizing this trip. There have been several challenges due to covid and she handled them very confidently and professionally. I have no hesitation in recommending Yvonne to anyone in need of a professional travel agent.
From planning to the actual cruise itself, Yvonne provided good advise and was very proactive in dealing with the numerous challenges.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Above and beyond!
Reviewed By Europe1939 - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia | Traveled to Luzern | Switzerland | Europe
From start to finish Yvonne ensured all of our bookings were confirmed and updated. She made sure to check in with us during our trip to make sure everything was going well. When one of our flights was canceled she was already working on the changes before we realized there had been a change! Thank you!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
