Exceeded our expectations!

Reviewed By Newlyweds - St. Louis, Missouri | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
This was our first time working with Maureen to book a vacation. After selecting a destination, she presented options for multiple resorts at different price points to choose from. Once we decided, she was able to book the trip with only a $40 deposit and allowed us to pay down our balance at our own desired increments. She also coordinated private transfers to and from the airport. The entire vacation could not have gone more smoothly, but had something gone awry, it was comforting knowing that we could contact Travel Leaders at any time for assistance. We got back less than three weeks ago and have already been in touch with her regarding our next vacation! We highly recommend her services and plan to continue working with her for all future vacations from here on out.

Maureen listened to our wish list of places we wanted to go, & arranged our trip to fit in as many places as possible In addition to Italy (Venice, Florence, Cinque Terre, Sorrento (a fav!)), Capri (fav day trip!), & Rome, we also travelled to Santorini (our fav place-Dana Villas is AWESOME!). While changing planes in Brussels to go to Venice, there was a strike, & all flights were cancelled. Maureen got our new flight scheduled, & also arranged for the new transfer to our hotel. I have to admit that the water taxi ride at midnight was pretty magical! If it wasn't for her help, we wouldn't have made the rescheduled flight. I highly recommend getting all the private transfers-it was so nice not having to worry about how to get around. While it did rain nonstop in Florence, overall the weather was awesome!

Stress free vacation!!

Reviewed By Linda - Fredericksburg, VA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Recently my husband and I along w/ several other couples took a vacation to Italy. ( Rome, Florence, and Venice) We were undecided as to what to see and where to stay. My husband contacted Travel Leaders, as we've used them previously, and Maureen became our contact person.

I met with Maureen several times and found her to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful and most importantly a good listener to our needs, desires, and concerns. ( not an easy task when there are 10 adults involved)

Maureen found & provided us with " authentic " centrally located Italian Hotels, each with very helpful staff. Once we decided on our tours and excursions she contacted reliable, quality tour groups w/ transportation for us.
Our trip was amazing thanks to Maureen's assistance and dedication.

I will definitely be calling her for our next trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Maureen McNeill responded:
It was my pleasure to assist your group for your Italy vacation and so glad everything was stress free! Thank you, Maureen

She provided expert advice along the way, and was always responsive when we had a question or needed assistance. Everything went smoothly. We had a spectacular time! The sights and tours were phenomenal. It was truly a rich cultural experience thanks to her planning and meticulous attention to details. I would recommend Maureen, wholeheartedly, as a travel agent. She is truly a professional!

Save time and aggravation

Reviewed By Allen - Woodford | Traveled to Ocean City ~ Maryland ~ USA
Maureen has always been great.
This is the third trip I've gone to her and asked her to book. The first was a major vacation for my wife and I, the second was a last minute trip for a funeral, and this one is just a couple of days out of town with my family. But I cannot begin to explain how painless Maureen makes the how process of booking a trip.
With all of the websites that are supposed to make booking a trip easier nowadays, there are so many things that they do not tell you. Such as if you don't book far enough in advance, it's not going to happen without paying a premium. Some of them also require that you book a minimum number of days. Other sites only show a limited number of hotels, or certain rooms, or up the prices each time that you run the search criteria.
I have learned to forego the aggravation and wasted time. This last trip took at most 10 minutes to book with Maureen and I still didn't spend what my wife being quoted on the travel sites for travel season!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Maureen McNeill responded:
Thank you! It is always my pleasure to save my clients time and aggravation! Maureen

Customer Testimonials

Italy 2023 Trip of a lifetime

Our trip to Italy was a “dream come true” in all respects. The recommendations you and the A&R staff made for the itinerary were wonderful. We enjoyed the combination of structured tours in the morning and free time to explore on our own in the late afternoon and evenings. All the guides were exceptional! The transportation logistics were flawless and always on time. We have already referred your services to our friends and will do so in the future. We would also recommend A&R to your other clients.

Italy Vacation of a Lifetime

I had an amazing time in Italy. I can honestly say that this was a trip that I have been dreaming about since I was five years old. I always knew it would not live up to my expectations I built over the years, but I was excited anyway. To my surprise, it even passed those expectations. Every tour guide was extremely well informed, interesting and very friendly, the tours were perfectly timed and exactly what I wanted to see, the hotels were perfect in every city with location and views that just seemed as beautiful as the paintings in my museum tours. Thank you for doing such an amazing job at putting this unbelievable Italian trip of a lifetime together.

Italy Vacation

Working with Maureen on our first trip to Italy was a wonderful experience, and she comes highly recommended. Her knowledge of the country made booking hotels, trains tickets and day-to-day actives a breeze and very efficient. Plus, she worked within our budget further putting us at ease! On top of it all, when we ran into weather related travel issues on the return she reached out to us to assist in anyway she could! Now that's exemplary customer service! Best!! :)
