We 're very happy with Sheree's customer service and professionalism. She has excelled is several bookings. Our first was booked on July 2020 for a trip to Valentin on the Riviera Maya in February 2021 per her suggestion. Great trip and great resort wonderful food, one of the latest pools and half mile of beach. Our next was booked upon our return for Atelier in Playa Mujeres, again great resort, excellent good and wonderful beach and pool. Upon return we started thinking about our 2022 trip. Sheree told us to try and decide as prices where volatile. We booked a new Secrets resort in Puerto Vallarta without much resort info per her recommendation and some changes in dates which got us and extra day and privaledge club for less money the middle of May. On June 25 I saw and ad from Apple to be the first to visit new resorts and checked our trip dates and found the price for our dates, same airline and non-priveledge room was $2000 more!Again we were ecstatic!

Each Vacation is the best!
Reviewed By Alyssa R - Vadnais Heights | Traveled to Mexico ~ Mexico
Sheree has been so accommodating with helping us book multiple trips. She digs until she finds the right location and resort for us. She has done so much more than our last couple travel agents have. We made the switch to her and will never not use her services. She knows Mexico and it's resorts which is so helpful. I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Sheree - Outstanding Customer Service and Care
Reviewed By Ryan O'Neill - Bloomington | Traveled to Mexico
Sheree Powers is an outstanding travel agent. She cares deeply about her clients and provides superior service. We have used her to book a few recent "team incentive trip" excursions for larger groups. Sheree has done an awesome job finding great resorts and making the entire vacation so very enjoyable for our entire team. Thank you again for your hard work and efforts, Sheree. We really appreciate all you have done for us!
Cheers!

2 week Caribbean cruise
Reviewed By Paulene - Oakdale, MN | Traveled to Caribbean
Sheree is very responsive and understands her clients likes. She gives excellent suggestions and does not limit them to one specific type of trip or destination. When I send her questions she almost always gets back to me the same day. I have referred several people to her and she was always very helpful in finding them a destination and helping them plan their trip. She takes away any apprehension about traveling as all bases are covered and all we have to do is sit back and enjoy!

Amazing Trip
Reviewed By Nick - Sauk Centre, MN | Traveled to New Zealand ~ Australia & New Zealand
Sheree was incredibly helpful in planning our honeymoon! We had an idea of where we wanted to go, but didn't know how best to enjoy our trip. Sheree walked us through the pros and cons of of both traveling and enjoying a cruise - we ultimately decided on a cruise that allowed us to see everything we wanted to with the convenience of a cruise. We couldn't have done it without here - she's the best!

Ideal 15th Wedding Anniversary Trip!!!

Sheree has been helping coordinate trips for my husband and I for years. We wanted to go to Hawaii for our 15th year wedding anniversary and I knew that I was going to ask Sheree for her help. She always provides the best insight into the accommodations and flight options for our trips. There have been times that she has even recommended destinations when we have no idea where we want to go. We will continue to use Sheree for our future trips - she takes the stress out of planning!!!

I have worked with Sheree to book large group trips to Mexico for several years. From the first contact until the day we return home, we have access to her expertise. She always strives to get the best deal and goes above and beyond with her contacts to make sure we are treated well at the resort! We have trusted her judgement and knowledge as we navigated travel during the pandemic. Highly recommend her and Travel by Nelson for all your travel needs!

The Most Memorable Amazing Vacation Ever!
Reviewed By Deb - Green Bay, WI | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
Sheree is awesome to work with from start to finish when planning and coordinating vacation packages! I am amazed at her quick response time with all of our questions in the beginning when we are deciding where to go, when to go and to what resort. I truly appreciate the time she spends gathering information, giving quotes and working out the details (resorts, transfers, insurance, rental cars, flights, etc.). Sheree takes care of everything and goes over and beyond during the whole planning process to make sure we are completely happy (even if it means making extra calls or re checking room categories, etc. when she is supposed to be enjoying her own vacation - now that is dedication!!). I've enjoyed working with Sheree and look forward to planning our next adventure with her! I would highly recommend her services.
