Already wanting to go back

Reviewed By Stephenie - Davenport, IA | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
Jon is an absolute angel. She has all of the best tips, helpful advice and the best recommendations. She's able to work with as many, or as little, details that you give. We knew we wanted to go to Ireland but beyond that, didn't really know what all we wanted to do. We described what we're into as far as hobbies, what we like for food/drink and she went from there. We had a few must do things we knew we really wanted to do or see but beyond that, we were clueless. She put together a 10 day trip for us and it was the best 10 days of our lives. Traveling from city to city was a breeze and so much fun. We had the time of our lives. It was the best way to celebrate our honeymoon/anniversary and we are forever grateful.
