Not Booking Again Without Betsy!
Reviewed By Jaime - St. Paul, MN | Traveled to Cozumel ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
This was my first time using a travel planner and my first trip on Virgin Voyages on the Scarlet Lady. I will NEVER book another trip without Betsy again! For starters, she knew the ship like she lived on it. Once I got on board, I didn’t have any trouble finding everything. It was all right where she said it would be.
I told her I only like to plan a little and see where the day takes me after that. She gave plenty of options so I could be as busy or lazy as I felt like. Pro tip: PLAN for a nap in the balcony hammock.
The food was great, and the crew just hung out with passengers like regular people. There was sunshine all day both port days. The Beach Club at Bimini was beautiful and Betsy told me about a little hidden oceanfront bar in Cozumel that I still want to be at!
I would do a Virgin cruise again tomorrow if I could. And like I said, I’m never taking another vacation without Betsy leading the planning charge! She’s awesome!

Stress Free Disney Planning
Reviewed By Maggie - Eagan, MN | Traveled to Disneyland ~ California ~ USA
Betsy was amazing to work with! She pulled together multiple options for a girls trip to Disneyland and was super flexible when we ended up changing weekends on her. She was so responsive and answered all my questions as a first time travel agent user. I will definitely be coming to Betsy for help planning my next trip.

Very Helpful
Reviewed By Tracy - Lake City, Minnesota | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Working with Betsy was a great way to set us up for a wonderful vacation. We knew we wanted a Caribbean destination and amenities to keep 4 adults and 4 teens happy. She took that information and worked within our budget to find us a great fit. She answered all of my questions (and I had a lot) and we ended up with an all inclusive that was a great fit for our crew. Will definitely work with her again.

Awesome Spring Break
Reviewed By KJ - Vadnais Heights, MN | Traveled to Tulum ~ Mexico ~ Mexico
Betsy was extremely responsive and helped us make a last minute spring break trip come true! She was able to work within our parameters and give us a variety of options. And when our flight was delayed several hours, she let our resort know. One less thing for me to worry about. I love that she took care of booking the flights, transportation, and resort. I find myself stressing trying to put all of that together so I love the ease that working with Betsy provides.

High touch customer service!
Reviewed By Darcie - St. Paul, MN | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Cannot say enough about Storybook Trips by Betsy and her help getting my boys to Disney. The task of planning a trip was overwhelming and I set out to research it but was quickly overcome by options and phrases like "park hopper" and "lighning lane" that I didn't understand. Betsy simplified it - after getting my budget and what our most important aspects were, she sent me 3 options and made it simple to make payments. I asked a thousand questions that were answered quickly and thoroughly. I did contact Disney once myself directly but Betsy answered faster AND with way more thorough info. Betsy was lock-step with me through last minute changes, odd questions about disability access and lightning lane. And her services were FREE to me! No, our trip wasn't more expensive for having used a planner...in our case it absolutely saved us money as she knows the deals and packages better than anyone.

Great trip !
Reviewed By Russ & Vicki - Ham Lake, MN | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Betsy was attentive and flexible with our somewhat involved stay in October. She took the time to meet with us, giving us options and answering many emails patiently. Because of a previous trip we booked with her, we had confidence that it would go well, and it went great !
Everyone had a wonderful time.

She is always there, not in the creepy way....
Reviewed By Nate - Alamosa, CO | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
I have used Betsy many times for our travel trips to Disney locations, including cruises. I tend to plan our trips way in advance, which is probably a nightmare for her, but she is always there. Her knowledge of travel is top-notch and she has helped us find attractions that have been fantastic. Currently, I am working with her to book a 5-day cruise and a three-day DisneyWorld experience. Her help has saved me an enormous amount of time and helped save a few dollars in airport to-ship transfers. Wish I had known her sooner as it would have saved me headaches in planning and organizing previous trips. DisneyWorld, here we come!!!

Wonderful escape from MN winter!
Reviewed By Bethany - Crystal, Minnesota | Traveled to Caribbean
Betsy was fantastic to work with! She was very helpful, friendly, and had great communication throughout the planning process. I really appreciated how she was able to accommodate our requests and even found us some unexpected deals! I initially was a little skeptical about going through a travel agent, given how easy it is to book things online, but I am so glad we had Betsy to help us out and make the planning process so much easier and stress-free. We had a great experience from the start of planning all the way through our vacation. I would highly recommend Betsy to anyone looking to plan a vacation! Thank you Betsy!!

Betsy was fabulous to work with. She knew her stuff and was able to give us the best vacation! She went above and beyond getting us want we wanted. She was a rock star when one of our party got hurt and we needed to add a wheelchair to the vacation (or possibly a scooter) at the last minute!!
