Taylor Ford2024-01-08After researching several resorts for our honeymoon and being overwhelmed to the max, I decided to reach out to Amanda and see if she could help us. We told her all of our wants and needs, and she came up with different options for us and we picked what suited us best; but her service didn’t end there! She got our E-tickets set up for when we landed in the Dominican Republic, set up our travel to and from the airport and really just made our trip that much LESS stressful for it being my first time out of the country. On our way back, one of our flights got delayed until the next day and Amanda was even helping us with getting all of that stuff set up since our airline was absolutely no help at all. absolutely no help. I’m already thinking of the next place I want to go so that I can have Amanda start planning for me! THANK YOU TIMES A MILLION AMANDA!!!
braden mauppins2023-12-26The best experience I have had with a travel agent. She helped us through the entire process even during the trip.
Laura Ward2023-11-08Katie set everything up from our departing plane tickets to bringing us back home. We went on tour around Olympic National Park over 5 days. She set up all the hotels for us, a cruise around the port in Seattle, and even a sea plane tour. She included little notes/suggestions of things to do in each area. It was absolutely amazing. There is no way I could have planned all that out my self, with that low of cost. Will definitely use her for future vacations.
