Honeymoon of our dreams!!
Reviewed By Chris and Samantha - Summit, NJ | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Buffy was everything I wanted a travel agent to be and then some! My wife and I got married in September 2016 and Buffy helped me to organize the Honeymoon of our dreams! One of the first things that I liked about Buffy was her eagerness to take the stress out of the whole process for me and especially for my fiance (now wife!)Long story short, after considering countless travel agents, we decided to give Buffy a shot. And we couldn't have chosen better! She helped us take our vision of the perfect honeymoon and make it a reality. Even when I challenged her with some special requests, Buffy went above and beyond to accommodate me and more then once acted as a champion for my fiance and I when complications arose. She was always available to talk and was quick to respond to questions and requests. I even called her the morning of our flight to help me decide on a electrical adapter! Buffy was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend her to my friends and family! Thanks Buff

Buffy was nothing short of amazing. We wanted a trip from New York to Italy and it was extremely short notice.

I wanted to extend my appreciation for everything you did over the long, multi-year road that it took to make our trip happen. Our cruise was wonderful and I'm so glad that we made the choice to go with a smaller ship.

Wonderful Mexico Getaway
Reviewed By CC - Brooklyn,NY | Traveled to Mexico
"We enlisted the help of Buffy Aronstein at Sunlit Travel for our Mexico getaway. We could not have chosen better. She gave us multiple options to choose from and all suggestions matched our needs. Due to my spouse's dietary preferences, we ended up deciding on Palmai de Aia in Playa del Carmen. It was a beautiful resort. The staff was professional, very attentive and welcoming. Half way through our vacation, we were already discussing our next adventure at the same resort.One of the main reasons why we were able to enjoy our beach holiday is because Buffy nailed down every detail. From covid protocols to and from our destination, to showing us which app to download in order to make customs far simpler, and it did! She was on point and readily available right up to the day we boarded the plane.
