Customer Testimonials

Picture Perfect River Cruise

My husband and I would like to recognize and thank Danette for organizing and hosting a memorable and exciting river cruise on the Danube River. Danette's experience and keen interest in her job as a travel agent was apparent to us throughout, including the extra effort she put forth with so many added details to make our trip run smoothly. We were sent periodic e-mails about our upcoming trip, notably a list of suggestions a few months ahead and a book list, which we took advantage of by checking out at a local library. Questions were always welcomed, no matter how trivial. Right from the beginning, we could tell Danette was enthusiastic and that our satisfaction with our trip was her priority.

A trip that made once in a lifetime memories.

Danette has been part of all my travel plans on every trip I have taken. She collects the information on where we want to go and takes off from there, She offers options and information about all the little extras that make a trip more memorable. I'm always confident if something changes she is on top of it and communicates the information to us.
