Such a delightful experience! She answered every question and helped us achieve exactly the trip we wanted. I'd do it one million times over.

Fall 2018, I decided to make the plunge into planning a Europe trip for my parents, sister, and myself. Immediately I knew I would need the help of a travel agent, as my family is not very savvy when it comes to vacationing, and we have never left the country. A quick google search serendipitisouly led me to Linda, and I am so glad it did because she was perfect for our family. Right away she made an appointment with me to show me her special European map that highlightedall the places she had been. She helped set the framework for the trip by saying she liked to pick 3 or 4 cities and plan a loop. We talked about the goals for the trip, picked the cities with each family member in mind, and then she went from there. Linda was flexible with giving choices but also making expert decisions herself when I felt overwhelmed. She stayed in touch throughout the entire planning process, giving many updates and tips for the trip. Vacation was the best ever, especially for our first time abroad.

Excellent ! Knowledgeable! Fun ! A perfect itinerary.

Very helpful, took into planning the type of trip we wanted. This was our first trip to Italy, and she planned some wonderful tours- just the right amount! Linda is very knowledgeable and gave us good advice about our travels. So glad we used her. The vouchers made everything so much easier, and she took explaining each one. I recommend Linda highly!!

Our family’s experience planning our first trip to Europe with Linda Gartner was one that exceeded our expectations! We were referred to her by a friend who has worked with Linda over the years. From day one, Linda was informative, patient, upbeat, and organized. She went beyond our expectations giving us advice and planning our trip so we would have a great experience.

Working with Linda was amazing. She completely understood what my sister and I wanted out of our trip and was extremely helpful in helping us achieve everything we wanted!

Linda has gone above and beyond our expectations for our travel agent. She has taken it upon herself to really understand our needs, our plans, and our imaginations for the trip. Thru her leadership ability, her travel knowledge, and her desire to efficiently work with us, , she has been not only a grade A travel agent, but a trusted friend who we have leaned on extensively in making hard decisions.

Linda helped plan a trip to Italy and Greece for my daughter and me a couple of years ago. The trip was one of the best of my life. The itinerary was well chosen, and every activity and transition was flawless.

Linda helped us plan and replan (as i made a mistake) our trip -and then helped us navigate the disappointment of not being able to go b/c of Covid-19. She invested time in getting to know my kiddos interests and aligning our trip plans to their needs. Example - my son planned a 14 day trip to all his destinations--she helped me navigate the plans with him and then my daughter who was not so interested she helped figure out her love of food and sent us ideas on she could eat her way through Europe. Very conscientious, thoughtful, and wonderful to work with - despite our high maintenance profile!

Linda has been absolutely amazing through the entire process of planning our honeymoon. Our experience has definitely been different than others in that we are unable to go on our honeymoon this June because of the coronavirus. She has been there for us every step of the way, answering all of our questions and has walked us through the process of deferring our honeymoon until next summer. We couldn’t recommend more working with Linda. Thank you for everything!

Linda was wonderful to work with...we told her what we were looking for, what we wanted and didn’t want, and she took the wheel from there! She knew all the tricks to planning a balanced vacation with all of the important extras. We highly recommend Linda!

Working with Linda was so easy. She was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. She was responsive to our questions and gave us a wonderful vacation in Italy. Our lives are so busy that planning a trip on our own would have been difficult. Linda gave us a trip that included some planned tours and plenty of relaxation too. It was truly customized for us. We would absolutely work with Linda again and we have already recommended her to friends.

Linda has helped me plan several trips for myself and my family (Viking riverboat cruise, Punta Cana and a couple of ocean cruises). She has done an excellent job of handling all of the stress that can come with planning a vacation, allowing me more time to prepare and enjoy the trip. She is very knowledgeable and a great resource .

We are planning a Mediterranean cruise, and Linda has been fantastic to work with. She has so much knowledge about the area, and worked hard to include the things that are important to us. Even during the uncertain time with the virus, she was able to rebook our cruise, and even save us some money. She is very flexible, and resourceful. I would recommend working with her for your next vacation!

Spent 14 amazing days in Italy and would not have changed a thing. Linda thought of everything! We will us her expertise again!

Linda is easy to work with and her recommendations were off the charts.

Linda was great to work with. She met with us to figure out what we were hoping for our trip and then put together a terrific package. She is definitely an expert when it comes to Italy, and found some terrific side trips during our visit. We visited and toured family owned vineyards and wineries, stayed at a castle in Tuscany and spent time in the big cities. All the hotels Linda booked for us were first rate and put us within walking distance of everything we wanted to see.

"The 60 year old Birthday Celebration!"
What a pleasure to have worked with Linda. We were her first customers,
certainly, we will be back! From the get-go, Linda was very professional and
thorough on all accounts. From Suggestions to solutions, to send off.
All events went perfectly as planned. Our trip was so much fun! The only time I contacted Linda on our excursion, was to send pictures and saying thanks again and again.

We plan to take another trip in the fall of 2017. Linda is already working on it!
Thanks again Linda,
60's and counting.

Linda was a joy to work with while planning our family trip to Amsterdam, Paris and London! She gave us some great ideas and destinations that we hadn't thought of, and made our journey fun and care free. Keeping a family with teens on the move and interested is no small task, and Linda was able to help us create some great memories!

Linda was truly wonderful to work with. Very friendly and attentive. She gave us several options that fit within our price range and great information about each one. Each time we had a question she replied right away. Once our trip was booked she even sent reminders when it was time to check-in for our flight. From the flight, to the rental car, to the hotel, to the excursions everything went smoothly. Having her expertise meant we could relax and enjoy our trip. My first time out west far exceeded my expectations and we have Linda to thank for that!

Linda is not only a lovely person with a pension for details but is the consummate travel agent! Her thoughtfulness to every aspect of the trip for each of us was remarkable. Her ease and love of travel exuded through her administrative efficiency and anticipation of individual needs and travel was simply intuitive! I’ve never been so relaxed and given the wheel to someone else to manage such a beautiful trip that meant so much to me! Her confidence is so reassuring and resulted in my experiencing The most beautiful trip to date. My most favorite place was Lake Como. The boat trip to Bellagio and the Albergo Hotel was gorgeous. Our transportation.was well thought out and comfortable. No worries! The entire trip was a delight and a beautiful experience. Thank you Linda!

Working with Linda was one of the best experiences we have had planning a vacation. She spent time with us to get to know us and what we wanted to experience. There were some interesting times because of Covid and we had to cancel our original trip twice. Linda constantly kept in touch with updates and helped us plan a fantastic vacation when Europe opened up. I know we will travel again to Italy, and she will be the first person we call to help us make a plan. In a word, she is fantastic.

Linda is awesome! She was knowledgable, friendly, and truly interested in what we wanted. She asked thoughtful, probing questions to find out what we had in mind. She then provided a variety of options. She was always prompt, patient, and informative in her responses. She was diligent in finding activities that we requested, tracking down the best possible solutions. When COVID 19 came into play, she kept us updated and laid out all the possible courses for us to follow. She patiently found answers to my many inquiries so that I could be as informed as possible before choosing the path to, unfortunately, cancel our trip. She went above and beyond in attempting to plan the best trip possible and was available at any time that I had a question. Linda is very personable and someone I felt very comfortable working with. There was no pressure or condescension whatsoever, I can't wait to be able to work with her again to plan the trip of our dreams and actually be able to go on it!

We had never used a travel agent before, but planning the logistics of a month-long European adventure for our family of 5 was too daunting a task for us. We found Linda on the internet -and boy are we glad we did! The experience she put together for us was nothing short of epic. Every detail was thought out and written out.....down to which escalator to use (and not use) in the airports to meet our driver! The tours she booked were absolutely first-rate with professional guides extremely well educated in their subject matter. She listened and incorporated our accommodations preferences and "must-see" wishes and adventures. She drew on her own vast experience to give us tips that we hadn't even thought of - from where to take in the most stunning vistas of Rome to where to get help if somebody gets sick on the trip.

We have already recommended Linda and her agency to all of friends who are planning trips, and will absolutely use her again for our own future

She was easy to connect with and talk to about what we wanted from our trip!

Linda was amazing to work with!! She was very responsive and provided us with so much logistical information that it made our trip easy. This was our first international trip—so we were a little nervous —but Linda guided and assured us at every step of the process. All of our excursions were private tours and all of the restaurants she recommended were amazing! We could not have had a better experience. I highly, highly recommend Linda to plan your next trip!! You won’t be disappointed!
