River Cruise Specialist

Sonia was amazing to work with. She arranged our trip to Athens and Santorini last year with an 8 day Greek Isles Windstar Cruise in the middle. My wife’s favorite trip ever.
The hotel that Sonia booked for us in Athens was the nicest we have ever stayed in. We never would have picked it without Sonia’s input. Fabulous
This years cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest was canceled due to the virus. Sonia got us a refund with no stress. Ready to venture out again as soon as we are able.

My mother, daughter and I came to Sonia to plan a dream trip to Italy. She was so thorough in her research, getting to know us and lending us her many years of personal travel experience. For example, as a surprise for my 10 year old daughter, we wanted her to take a cooking class. Sonia found one for pizza and gelato! Can you image learning how to make pizza in Italy...as a 10 year old?! She planned the perfect trip for us! When Caronavirus sidelined us for at least six months, Sonia made the arrangements with our vendors to postpone our trip. During a very uncertain time, she made us, and all of her clients, a priority to ensure our deposits were returned. We hope to be back in Sonia's client chairs this summer to plan our trip for the fall. She is a truly amazing person and how she manages to juggle all that she does, while still making each client the most important, is a mystery to me! :-)

We have traveled extensively with Sonia's guidance and think she is amazing. We often travel by ourselves and then meet friends complicating dates and arrangements. Sonia has rescued us when we were stranded due to weather cancelling flights and when we missed a booked tour she facilitated our insurance claim.

Most recently she has devoted a great deal of work to preserve our options (and funds) on a trip cancelled due to the corona virus epidemic.

Sonia is a busy lady, but she is always available for in-person planning advice. She keeps us well informed and takes care of most all booking details - which include great hotels in ideal locations. She also knows how to advise us on attractions we would not want to miss (opera performances for example).

Her employer, Travel Leaders, has been our favorite travel agency for many years before Sonia was an agent and we have relied on them to make foreign trips safe, fun, and so much easier than "doing-it -yourself"

I have nothing but good words for Sonia who helped plan my family’s first European trip. She has great knowledge with regards to accommodations, transportation and tours in Italy. Unfortunately, the pandemic has led to the cancellation of our trip. Sonia has helped a lot with the stress of cancelling our reservations especially our non-refundable hotel. She worked tirelessly in making sure that we’ll get our money back. Our trip may have been canceled but once we are able to travel again, I’ll definitely seek her expertise and will highly recommend her to my friends and family.

Sonia has been a quick responder in nearly all instances. We've enjoyed and appreciated working with her for several of our trips, abroad and domestically.

I Loved working with Sonia! She is very perfessional and was attentive to all our needs. She made our cruise easy and I didn’t have to worry about anything knowing she took care of it all.

Sonia is wonderful to work with!! She is extremely knowledgeable, collaborative, very responsive, so friendly and super patient ( for a client like me who likes to change things as we go :-). Sonia is also incredibly invested and genuinely wants to give every client the best possible trip and travel experience possible. I love working with Sonia, and will never travel to a new destination without her!

She did a great job. Answered all questions & set up fabulous trip.

Very efficient & kept me apprised of all activity.

Sonia helped us find a great tour that fit into our schedule and available flights. We looked at a few options and finally selected the Central Europe trip on Cosmos.

Sonia has been making my travel arrangements for more than ten years. She always goes out of her way to make sure the trip goes smoothly and that we get the best deal possible. The service I especially appreciate is that she keeps track of our reservations and flight information so that if changes are made I am informed immediately. Booking with Sonia has consistently eliminated a lot of the stress and headaches associated with traveling.

Sonia is always smiling, helping, doing her best to meet your needs regarding travelling, destinations, etc...

Sonia has been taking care of our vacation plans since 2014, she has always given us the best vacation package possible and has been a joy to work with. We travel stress free knowing that Sonia has everything taken care of.

Sonia worked hard to find accommodations and excursions for my family’s last minute trip to Hawaii. Then because of issues arising with Covid-19 we relied on her again on a last minute basis to cancel the trip. Sonia was very pleasant and supportive to work with during this time.

Sonia has planned and booked many trips and cruises for us that were flawless. Always.

We are part of a group going to Africa so only one of our group works directly with Sonia. But she quickly gets back to each of us individually if we have a question and takes care of our needs!

Very efficient. She is well informed on different resorts and has been able to book me and my family in accommodations that meet our needs.
She also has had very good ideas regarding activities and sights to see.
I have booked four trips with her so far and she continues to provide excellent service.

Our trip to Disneyland went perfectly. Schedules and arrangements were flawless; even the flights were on time. Our Travel Agent, Sonia Sanan, was friendly, knowledgeable and professional in coordinating all the details regarding flights, transportation and lodging. We will definitely call Sonia for future travel arrangements.

Sonia has helped me with a number of flight reservations and accompanying details. Sonia is very knowledgeable, competent, friendly, helpful, and a delight to work with. She has a lot of experience dealing with airlines and was able to correct a refund situation even after the airline had denied it numerous times. And, even with all the clients she knows and helps, she immediately remembers who I am when I call, and gives a warm hello. She is great, the best.

Sonia has always been the most patient while dealing with us.

Excellent at her job. Professional and answered all our questions

OUTSTANDING

Sonia is absolutely amazing and goes above and beyond with every trip planned! We have had her help plan a trip to Paris, France, a trip to New York and D.C., and just recently a surprise birthday trip to Universal Studios in Orlando, Fl. With each trip she finds the best deals that for into our budget and in the best locations! I absolutely love having Sonia as my travel agent!!

Sonia was professional and personable. She was very patient with me, an inexperienced traveler. Her recommendations were helpful. The travel plans Sonia set up were easy to follow and made for an even more rewarding, relaxing and fun vacation.

Sonia provides excellent recommendations for the best experience for our trips.

I have booked several trips with Sonia. She is dedicated and does her best to find the best deals for her clients. She truly spends quality and valuable one to one time with her clients. She worked with us to give us exactly what we are looking for and provided recommendations to help us meet our budget and time. Working with us in this manner has saved us time, money and worries and we were able to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. This Summer of 2017, we traveled to Amsterdam, London, Paris, Rome, and Berlin and had a blast. I'm sure this could not have been possible without Sonia's dedication. As long as I live in the area, I will always use Sonia to help with all our vacation planning.

Very pleasant to work with. We have brought her some out of the ordinary trips that we wanted and she does a lot of research to make the trip a reality. We have used Sonia for quite a few years and she has never disappointed us. She even throws out suggestions for future trips that she thinks we might be interested in. Highly recommend her!

Sonia has provided travel for me more than once. She is reliable, honest, experienced, professional, and overall, a great travel agent. Sonia will always be accommodating and looks for the best values. I call her whenever I am planning on traveling somewhere new!

Sonia did all the work and was thorough in the planning process. We were supposed to go to Europe, but when they closed, we asked for a recommendation on what was open to tourism. Since she'd be to Costa Rica a couple of times, she recommended it. We had the best time of our lives, it was an amazing experience with lots of great memories.

Sonia is a world class travel agent! She has worked with us for many years arranging our domestic and international travel. Sonia is very professional and personable, and truly dedicated. She has literally moved mountains for us in several difficult travel situations, most recently in the Covid-19 circumstances. We appreciate her persistent efforts to assist us to the best of her ability and wholeheartedly recommend Sonia for your travel needs.

Sonia has always been a pleasure to work with over the years, very proactive with finding the best rate possible on our trips to the Philippines.

My husband became ill and we had to cancel our trip. I called Sonia and she guided us through the cancellation process. It was difficult for me but with her guidance I was able to have all our money refunded.

Sonia will work tirelessly to make sure you have a great trip! She has helped us arrange trips throughout the world including British Isles, Greece, Italy, France, Thailand, Egypt and Jordan. If something goes wrong, she is the person you want to help you! For example, we were recently booked on a trip to Israel and scheduled to leave the day after the hostilities broke out . Our trip to Israel was cancelled, but we still wanted to go onto the next leg of our itinerary. Sonia worked for many hours on a Saturday when the agency was closed, to rework our itinerary and came up with a solution so that we wouldn’t have escalated costs and extended layovers. During COVID, we had two international trips cancelled. Many travelers lost money because of COVID cancellations. Sonia made it work for us so that we didn’t lose a single penny! I recommend her very highly and she is a pleasure to work with!!

Sonia was right on top of getting my cruise rebooked after having to cancel due to coronavirus. She took care of all the little details quickly and efficiently.

We have been with Sonia for many years for all our travels, both domestic and international. Sonia is very personable and easy to talk to. We trust Sonia with booking our tickets. She is very knowledgeable and is very good at what she does. We trust her with our travel plans. We tell her where and when we want to go, and she does the magic. We have been very pleased with her service, and will always use her for all our travel plans, no matter how short or long a flight they may be. Peace of mind is important to us, so we can truly focus on and enjoy our trips. Thank you Sonia

It’s was great

I rely on Sonia for help with all my travel plans… flights, hotels, sightseeing ideas, and more. Sonia is great fun to work with and always responsive to our needs. I won’t work with anyone else!

Sonia helped us secure our airline tickets dnd helped us maneuver through the the cruise experience.

It can be hard to get to Sicily, but Sonia had our airfare figured out within 20 minutes. That was a huge improvement from talking the tour, where we spent 3 hours on the phone with 4 stops to get there. Never again! Sonia is the only person I would want to work with!

My husband and I travel often Internationally. We usually have a place in mind on where we want to go. We always call Sonia for her service. She provides extra details regarding our travels that we never think about. From the early stages of places to visit, to booking the trip and the airlines chosen, all of this planning made our trips amazing!! She assists with great flight routes and airline pricing for tickets. She has many years of experience and she shares her knowledge about places to see in the World. We always call Sonia for all of our travel needs. Leave the details to Sonia. She is the best!

Sonja set up everything and she paid very close attention to all the details and was amazing at followup.

Sonia has handled all of my cruising trips over the last decade. She is always there to make sure that the correct decisions are made. As circumstances change (cruise ports, flights canceled, whatever), she is there giving me new options and advice. The best example is after landing in Amsterdam, I read her email that 4 of my future flights were canceled. Despite my primary email address not working in Europe, with her help making many changes, everything worked well and I had a marvelous trip in Switzerland and a fantastic river cruise trip down the Rhein and Moselle Rivers.

It was amazing. Sonia left us with no worries or concerns and obtained the best prices.

Sonia is very knowledgable and helpful, and is also very pleasant to work with. She is helping us plan another trip right now!

Sonia Sanan is a leader when it comes to travel planning. She has an in-depth knowledge of her field and brings excellent value for her clients. On our recent trip to Vietnam, she planned an extraordinary vacation for us to Vietnam. We have worked with Ms. Sanan for over a decade and this was our first trip to Vietnam. She curated amazing experiences and itinerary to give us an overall enriching view of Vietnam with the tours she selected. I whole heartedly recommend Sonia Sanan for all your travel needs.

Sonia is an awesome travel planner and executioner! We have worked with her for over a decade planning various trips. She brings in depth knowledge of travel industry. On our recent trip to Sri Lanka and Vietnam, she went above and beyond in planning the entire trip. She only chose best hotels/resorts for our stay, keeping in mind their central location with easy access to many popular activities. She planned amazing tours for us to give us an in depth experience and true cultural immersion in both destination. I have no reservation in recommending Ms. Sanan for all your travel needs. She always provides best value for the money!

From the very first consultation, Sonia's attention to detail and personalized approach made us feel like we were in the best hands possible. What truly sets Sonia apart is her ability to secure fantastic deals that fit within our budget without compromising quality. She went above and beyond to find exclusive offers and perks that we otherwise wouldn't have been able to take advantage of!

Sonia was super helpful and friendly! She found us great flight options that fit with our schedule and booked us an amazing trip. Easiest time I’ve ever had planning a trip and I can’t wait to book with her again.

It is such a pleasure to work with Sonia! She is so knowledgeable and pleasant. We did not have a worry about our vacation and it was so smooth because of Sonia's ability to have us set up for success!

Sonia has been very easy to work with in developing cruises. She introduced us to Viking Cruises and we are hooked!! She has been able to communicate with Viking to represent our interests and to provide information about various locations around the world. She has helped us with Viking Cruises

She was very warm and welcoming from the beginning to the end. She was full of knowledge and resources. It was easy to plan with her as she gave us confidence based on her product.

Sonia specializes in Europe and has been very helpful for our European family trip. It was nice to hear what things were kid friendly and what weren't. Would definitely use her again!

What a pleasure to work with Sonia. Always pleasant and working to be sure your trip is the best it can be.

Sonia was very helpful in helping us plan our trip and make all the necessary reservations. Our trip consisted of a 14 day cruise plus 3 extra days in our arrival city. She made all the arrangements for air travel, discussing with us the options we had, our hotel reservations and all the transfers we would need. She explained everything in detail to us and we felt very satisfied that our trip would go off without a hitch. We felt that nothing was missed in setting up a trip we would remember for the rest of our lives. Unfortunately, the coronavirus arrived and our trip was cancelled. But Sonia took care of all our cancellations and made that part of the experience very easy for us. We plan to try this trip again in a year or so and will enthusiastically use Sonia at that time to rebook the trip. She is the best!!

Sonia is very detailed and will work diligently to construct a trip based on your travel lifestyle. She communicates with her clients throughout all phases of planning. She works to get the best package and prices on all fares. She keeps detailed information regarding her clients preferences .

Sonja is absently fantastic to work with… She gets things done for you as inexpensively as you would find online, and if something goes wrong, she is there to assist you when the online people don't even have a phone number!
