The perfect honeymoon!
Reviewed By Victoria - Nashville, TN | Traveled to Antigua & Barbuda ~ Caribbean
Samantha helped us plan our honeymoon to Sandals Antigua! It was absolutely perfect, and she made planning it a breeze. She helped us with our excursions, gave us great advice, added honeymoon accommodations, and even helped us upgrade our room! She is always very responsive and thorough with her replies. I felt very comfortable asking her all of my questions for our first time leaving the country. I highly recommend Samantha as a travel agent!

Reviewed By Samantha B - Smithtown, New York | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Samantha is absolutely amazing to work with!! She put up with so many changes and requests from me over the past two years. Working with her throughout covid was extremely easy and stress free. She makes sure all of the details are taken care of, so when I go on my trip there’s nothing left to do except enjoy my time and make great memories. I have used her for two vacations now and she never fails to make sure my trip is perfect!

She's Truly a Disney Expert
Reviewed By Andrew B. - Astoria, NY | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
We’ve have had such a great experience working with Samantha. I’ve never planned a Disney vacation and was feeling extremely overwhelmed and didn’t have the time to do everything myself- she’s answered all my questions quickly and extensively. She’s kept me up to date on what I need to do on my part. She also helped me reschedule the whole vacation days before we were supposed to leave because of a family emergency. Couldn’t recommend working with her more!

Incredible experience!!
Reviewed By Jackie M - Massapequa Park NY | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
I was not an easy client. I changed it so many times! Added people, took people out, added days, removed days, changed dates, changed resorts… I even changed locations from Disney World to Disneyland because I couldn’t find affordable flights for the dates I wanted. Ultimately we went back to the original Disney World plan and stuck with it. We just got back and we had the most magical time ever! I am certain that the success of our trip had everything to do with the costumer service and knowledge shared by our travel agent. I cannot wait to use Samantha’s services again. She is the real deal! I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

BEST DISNEY FAMILY VACATION!
Reviewed By Farrell Family - Dix Hills, New York | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
We began planning our family Disney trip last year. From the start of the planning, Samantha was wonderful. She was so attentive and detailed during our initial conversation. She followed up immediately with detailed information based on our conversation. She worked within our budget and gave us more than we could have expected in our package. Even when we arrived at Disney, Samantha made herself available throughout the process. Even when we asked her the same questions she already answered in her detailed emails, she always responded to our texts with kindness. We could not have gotten through this Disney trip without her. A week before our trip, Samantha sent us a detailed email outlining all the rides at each park and which attractions required Genie Plus or Lightling lane passes. I referred to this email frequently on our trip. We will be working with her for all future Disney and family vacations. She's the best in the game!

When booking a trip to Disney my family and I didn't know the first thing about where to start. That's where Samantha came in and really took control in giving us the full breakdown on how to tackle Disney to have the best experience! I am so glad we used Samantha's services to book. She was great in putting together multiple options for us prior to booking, then actually booking our accommodations as well as our dining reservations. She also sent us detailed guides that were extremely helpful to make our stay as easy as possible.

Thank you so much for making our Universal/Disney vacation amazing. You were extremely detailed and helpful with everything you provided. As you know originally I booked the entire trip on a travel site but found it extremely hard to deal with them and when I called I was transferred to an office in another country and they could never help me, I then cancelled the entire trip with them. I then contacted you and you took care of everything for us. The level of commitment you provided is not something regularly seen these days. In addition you were very accessible and for someone like me that is extremely important. You should be proud of the level of service you provided in making this trip a reality for my family.
