Honeymoon of our dreams!
Reviewed By SisIrene - Raymore, MO | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Anna helped us plan our honeymoon. It is definitely our fantasy honeymoon and we have Anna to thank for finding our hotel of our dreams. We literally couldn't have done it without her. She is so patient and understanding, and never made us feel like we were asking a "stupid" question. Even though we had MANY, as this would be our first all inclusive resort. She definitely went the extra mile for us and got us an amazing deal, and we feel confident we got the best price possible for our room and location. Every step of the way she made sure we were informed and comfortable with all decisions. In the end we decided upon an incredible hotel she hand picked for us. It not only had everything we expressed to her was important to us but much more! Anna really knows what she is doing and you can relax and know that you don't have worry about all the tiny details. Just let Anna know what you are looking for specifically, or give her a jumping off point and she will have you more than covered!

Bucket list trip to Bahamas!
"My family and I worked with Anna Bidstrup to book a bucket list vacation in the Bahamas. I was very impressed with her attentiveness and ability to answer a variety of different questions to get this Windjammer Cruise booked for us. Anna went above and beyond to find many different packages of varying cost so that we could feel comfortable choosing what worked best for us. I highly recommend her to anyone needing to book a trip! It is very comforting knowing that we are in good hands and everything is taken care of!"
