Honeymoon of our dreams!
Reviewed By SisIrene - Raymore, MO | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Anna helped us plan our honeymoon. It is definitely our fantasy honeymoon and we have Anna to thank for finding our hotel of our dreams. We literally couldn't have done it without her. She is so patient and understanding, and never made us feel like we were asking a "stupid" question. Even though we had MANY, as this would be our first all inclusive resort. She definitely went the extra mile for us and got us an amazing deal, and we feel confident we got the best price possible for our room and location. Every step of the way she made sure we were informed and comfortable with all decisions. In the end we decided upon an incredible hotel she hand picked for us. It not only had everything we expressed to her was important to us but much more! Anna really knows what she is doing and you can relax and know that you don't have worry about all the tiny details. Just let Anna know what you are looking for specifically, or give her a jumping off point and she will have you more than covered!

Our first family cruise
Reviewed By Scott V - Omaha, NE | Traveled to Nassau | Bahamas | Caribbean
Mark Comfort and Cruise Holidays sent my wife and I off on our honeymoon cruise 23 years ago, so -- when we wanted to take a similar trip now with our teenagers -- we went back to Mark. He introduced us to Anna Bidstrup, and this team made sure our vacation was fun and easy. All we had to do was show up and enjoy! My kids were devising ways to hide on the ship at the end of our voyage so they wouldn't have to leave! We're so thankful to Anna, Mark, Lori and everyone at Cruise Holidays for helping these cruise novices have the vacation of a lifetime.

Reviewed By Happy Traveler - Prairie Village, KS | Traveled to Switzerland | Europe
Wow! We have worked with other agencies and I have to say, that Anna
Bistrup is tops of them all. She made every arrangement, leaving us nothing to do but enjoy our trip. Our plane seats were even great, with us sitting only 2 across. We had to sit at O'Hare Airport, waiting for a gate and then we had to RUN! We were excited about the short layover, but thanks to O'Hare, were not the only ones in a hurry, only to find we waited on the other side of the airport for a shuttle. Thank you Anna for giving us a memorable trip.

Great trip back to the DR!
Reviewed By CM DR 2024 - Topeka, KS | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
I asked Anna to spec out some places for our vacation. We gave her limited options and cost, and she gave us so many options that went way above and beyond what we were expecting. It was nice to see examples from areas around where we were looking, and even beyond so that we considered all options for our vacation. We asked her to give us some more specific options on price on multiple resorts. We felt like we requested a lot, and she came through each time in a timely manner. We ended up going back to the Dominican Republic at a new resort that was getting good reviews. We were very pleased with the pick. I don't think we would have found most of all the options she gave us without her help! This was the second time going through Anna, and we will be going through her again. Already thinking about our next trip!

Client Testimonials
Bucket list trip to Bahamas!
"My family and I worked with Anna Bidstrup to book a bucket list vacation in the Bahamas. I was very impressed with her attentiveness and ability to answer a variety of different questions to get this Windjammer Cruise booked for us. Anna went above and beyond to find many different packages of varying cost so that we could feel comfortable choosing what worked best for us. I highly recommend her to anyone needing to book a trip! It is very comforting knowing that we are in good hands and everything is taken care of!"
