2019 Cousins Crew Trip

Reviewed By cousins crew - Centreville, VA | Traveled to Ocho Rios ~ Jamaica ~ Caribbean
My experience has been nothing but top notch! Super professional and always goes the extra mile to make sure your family has a trip to remember! I have been a client for over 5 years if not longer. She has always found the perfect getaway both domestic and international! Amazing travel agent for all your travel desires...cruises, Disney, All-Inclusive Island getaways, you name it she can make it happen! :)

My most recent trip to Jamaica was planned last year. She assisted in providing varying room options (we ended up with an oceanfront suite). Patricia provided us with airport options and even suggest a VIP service which made the airport experience wonderful and uneventful. The Beaches Ocho Rios resort was amazing! Ultimately her efforts made this 2019 girls trip smooth from start to finish! I have and will continue to refer her to my family and friends. Best travel agent!

A Vacation to Remember

Reviewed By Traveling in Style - Apollo Beach, FL | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Patricia has planned several vacations for us. This most recent trip was a very special 30th anniversary land and sea cruise to Alaska. Patricia provided much insight into the various cruise lines, providing her opinion based on her knowledge and understanding of my personal likes and dislikes. I was torn between a recommendation from a friend who traveled there a few years ago and Patricia's recommendation of what she thought was more of what I was looking for. In the end we went with Patricia's recommendation and she nailed it. It was a spectacular trip. What I liked best about working with Patricia was her proactiveness and responsiveness.

Our Bucket List Vacation

Reviewed By Michelle - Gainesville, VA | Traveled to Florida ~ USA
Patricia was amazing from beginning to end!!! It felt overwhelming to rebook our trip after COVID cancelled it as there were so many moving parts to it between a week long Disney Cruise and a week at Disney World. But Patricia took it on with ease helping to ensure all details were covered, especially with new regulations in place due to COVID at that time. The vacation was flawless due to all of Patricia’s help and planning ahead of time as well as information and the packet she put together and gave me. I even made some dinner reservation changes while there and she continued to ensure while we were on our vacation that we were still getting her best and she got us in to everything…even restaurants at Disney that were showing no availability when I checked! This is our second big family trip we have planned and booked with Patricia and her help was top notch each time!! I would not dream of using anyone else!!!

Flew multiple family members from multiple cities for a long weekend in Disney World in Orlando.

Would definitely use again.
