Excellent Europe Trip
Reviewed By Greg&Claire - Wake Forest, NC | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
Heather was awesome. She took care of the details and we were free to enjoy a fantastic trip. She provided suggestions and helpful info for travel insurance, attractions to visit, tours, and more. And communications were excellent. All our questions were answered in a timely manner and we were updated frequently on the status of hotels, flights, train schedules and costs. Not to mention, she saved us money versus trying to book everything ourselves.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
