Barbara Dunn
Brookings, South Dakota Travel Agent
A Full-Service Travel Leaders Associate Agency
Email MeAgent Specializing in Escorted Tour Vacations
If you are planning on visiting Italy, Greece, or maybe several European countries at once, an escorted tour vacation should be at the top of your list. Nearly everything on an escorted tour is arranged for you, so that you can relax and just enjoy yourself. On an escorted tour, you don’t have to worry about getting from one place to the next, possibly missing out on area attractions, or getting lost! Your tour guide is well trained and knows the area that you are visiting, adding so much to your vacation! Some popular tours, that I have confirmed for my clients are Splendors of Italy, Enchanting Europe, and Classical Greece. I have over 30 years of experience, selling escorted tours and travel. I also rely on the feedback from my past customers and use this information to make suggestions for new customers. When you are ready to try an escorted tour vacation and let someone else do the driving, please contact me at Travel Leaders of Pierre

We are not experienced travelers. So, when it came to planning, I did not know where to start. But, after one conversation with Barbara, I knew we were in good hands. Barbara made it so easy! From beginning to end, we had a great experience and will absolutely rely on her for future travels.

Friends trip to Mexico
Reviewed By Nikki - Pierre, SD | Traveled to Mexico
Barb has been booking trips for us and our friends for over 5 years to multiple places. She is always flexible and provides great feedback from her experiences to help us make our trips even better. Barb is great to work with when we travel with people from other towns/states she is able to organize the entire trip for our group with little effort from us. After all trips Barb always follows up with us to make sure all of our expectations were met and if there are any issues she works to get solutions for us. Barb works with us from be beginning from finding a location to go to, booking the resorts and flights and of course the follow-up at the end. She is a great asset to help us with budgets and timelines for all of our trips both in the United States and abroad. We use Barb to book all of our trips and I would recommend that you do also.

Excellent Service
Reviewed By Retired and Loving it! - Rapid City, SD | Traveled to Europe
Barb has done a great job working with us on a couple of big trips for us. In one case, we had not received all the information for our river cruise. She contacted the cruise line and made sure we received the info. As a result we ended up with guide books that others did not receive and we shared with our fellow passengers. They were jealous.On another trip we had to cancel due to illness. Barb worked with us to make sure that we received the full refund from the insurance company.
Barb has provided us excellent and timely service even after we moved from Pierre.

An Effortless Escape!
Reviewed By Holly G - Pierre, SD | Traveled to Hawaii Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Barb was wonderful; not only was she herself pleasant and fun to work with, but she knows her stuff! I told Barb the kinds of things that we like to do, and she had some great suggestions for us. It was priceless to me to not have to lift a finger or spend any time watching ticket prices, coordinating flights, hotels, rental cars, etc, but once the trip came, the REAL work Barb did was so evident; everywhere we went, there was someone waiting for us, ready to usher us to where we needed to go. Everything was so well orchestrated that it was incredible - my husband and I remarked so many times that we felt like we were getting rockstar treatment (and on a struggling musician budget to boot)! I can't thank Barb enough for doing all the dirty work to make our vacation so enjoyable! We can't wait to go away again - and when we do, Barb will be our first call!
