"Family Trip to Ireland"Dear Michelle,
I truly want to thank you for your detailed assistance in helping me plan a trip to Ireland for my son and me for our big family reunion. It was the first time traveling outside the US for both of us, and it was a great experience. Your help allowed me to feel confident about our plans and where we were going. Everything worked out well. Now—I can’t wait to go back!
Thank you once again.

"Jamaica Trip"Great traveling experience had with Lori Franco. She put out a lot of fire storms in our group. I almost couldn’t leave Jamaica but was able to call Lori and she was able to talk with the ticket agent and resolved the situation. All from the first booking to the last arrival, she was there through it all. FYI, travel insurance is a must or highly recommended. Thank you very much!! I do recommend.Warneika Pettway Groton, Connecticut

"Great First Trip to Italy"My wife and I recently returned from a trip to the Amalfi coast that was arraigned by Alexandra Algiere. Alex took care of every last detail of our trip and the entire itinerary was fabulous. The hotel, tours and transfers went seamlessly. Alex checked in with us while we were away and updated any information from the tour companies. It really felt like we had someone watching out for us while we were in Italy.
I can't say enough about the customer service we received. Five stars all the way. We will certainly see Alex for our next trip. I would not do it any other way. Thank you Alex you truly made our dream vacation come true. Greg J, Foster, Rhode Island
