Fabulous Cruise

Reviewed By Annie - Alexandria, VA | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
I have had the best experience working with Barb - she has organized a number of trips for me and she is so easy to work with and answers promptly to every question. We recently completed a cruise to Australia/New Zealand that Barb coordinated for us.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Hands Down - The Best Travel Agent Ever!

Reviewed By Mike and Lindy - Mechanicsville, VA | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Barb is the one and only travel agent we trust to plan our vacation cruise events. She has helped us plan our first two cruises, one to the Western Caribbean and the second to Alaska. She has already booked our third cruise, this time to the Eastern Caribbean. She is the absolute best!!!!!

Customer Testimonials

Scotland Heritage Trip

We had the most amazing trip visiting the Isle of Lewis to visit my wife's grandtather's home. You arranged everything even better than we could imagine. From the Ghost Tour in Edinburgh to the Ferry to Stornoway and everything in between. Everything was awesome! Your attention to detail was just what we wanted. We will be back! Thanks for planning this amazing trip!
