The perfect 20th Anniversary Trip
Reviewed By Anne - Denver, CO | Traveled to Amalfi ~ Italy ~ Europe
I am bragging to everyone about what a phenomenal job Ann did! You really made it first class the entire time. From the hotels, to the excursions, then the private drivers… oh, and I can’t forget the beautiful gifts, and the thoughtful, champagne and wine to start off and finish our adventure… Five stars! This really was a dream trip.

Smooth & Amazing Travels Abroad!
Reviewed By TimC - Fort Myers, FL | Traveled to South Africa ~ Africa
Booking our trip through Ann made the trip so easy and amazing! We set our budget, and she pretty much did all the rest!!! From the moment we got off the airplane in Johannesburg, we were at ease knowing that somebody would meet us at the gate and take us through customs and passport control, get our bags and get us to our hotel! Thank you for zero anxiety about traveling to a distant land.... The trip itself was absolutely amazing, having all the transfers, and air travel preset, the tours pre-arranged, and the little extras that we found were left for us along the way made it a trip we will never forget! The hotels that Ann selected for us were all 5 Star and made us feel very much at home every stop we made. The private tours that she selected were exactly what we wanted to do, and were flexible with our time. Thank you Ann for creating a memory that will last a lifetime!!!

First UK trip!
Reviewed By Scott - Lake Villa, IL | Traveled to Scotland ~ Europe
Working with Ann was a pleasure. She helped us navigate all of the COVID-related obstacles and had a wealth of information and experience about the UK in general and especially Ireland.
Our trip needed several adjustments due to scheduling changes and COVID restrictions but Ann helped us immensely and handled all of the heavy lifting.
She even lent us some travel books to help us decide what sights we wanted to see while we were there.
Highly recommended!

Fantastic European River Boat Cruise
Reviewed By Jim & Sue - Lindenhurst | Traveled to Prague ~ Czech Republic ~ Europe
We have never traveled internationally before except for trips to Mexico. Ann walked us through the entire process and made everything so easy. We did a European Riverboat cruise that included Christmas markets along the Danube. Pre-cruise and post-cruise excursions plus the riverboat cruise itself were all fantastic. On top of everything, we had to navigate COVID and delayed the trip for 2 YEARS! Ann handled everything for us, sent us relevant articles and information and she made excellent recommendations to make our trip even more enjoyable. It was a great experience working with Ann and we will definitely do it again. The next time we travel, we will be contacting her.

Our First Italy Experience
Reviewed By E Kitt - Fort Collins, CO | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
We just took at trip to Italy. This was our second trip we planned with Ann (and when I say "we"... she did all the planning). My husband and I both have full time jobs that keep us very busy with work travel so when we want to take a break, we definitely trust that Ann will set us up with some thing amazing. She makes it so simple to have a few preliminary calls to discuss destinations, dates and budgets and from there she proposes options and itineraries. I really appreciate that it feels like I didn't have to lift a finger to do any planning. And I'll mention that when on the trip it feels that much more special to have things scheduled and planned for you. In other experiences I have felt anxious or stressed because the planning has fallen to me and I don't get to have the same experiences as others. Ann makes sure the trip and all the little details are perfect. I can't rave enough. Any international trip we take in the future will be planned with Ann.

Lee and Nancy's Excellent Adventure!
Reviewed By Lee - Alpharetta, GA | Traveled to New Mexico ~ USA
We worked with Ann Nelson at A Well-Traveled Suitcase for our recent Southwestern vacation, and we could not have been more pleased! Ann worked to understand our needs and budget before booking anything. She then gave us options based on those and was always willing to add or change things as needed. She arranged beautiful and unique hotels for us in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Winslow, Grand Canyon, and Sedona. She also recommended restaurants and stops along the way. We booked some activities and restaurants on our own as well, and she was quick to add those to our master travel itinerary. The entire trip could not have gone more smoothly. I highly recommend Ann at A Well-Traveled Suitcase for any of your travel needs!
