Just wonderful. Great guides, beautiful hotels, and
excellent travel.

This trip was genuinely life changing, in every way. The three of us were so emotional leaving - every aspect of the trip was pure perfection. The nature exceeded even our very high expectations... and the service was absolutely perfect. Lucy was an incredible support throughout the entire experience. Excellent communicator who clearly offered all options. Was a savior when a few last minute changes were needed (outside her control). Made the entire experience a breeze.

This was my first cruise so the highlight was waking up or traveling to new destinations daily and the ship was so quiet. The countryside of the Douro River was breathtaking. The Port of Porto was my favorite. Vibrant beautiful city with whitewashed buildings and clay roofs. Beautiful bridges and ships in port. Quite picturesque!


Working with Lucy was fabulous. Meticulous in her work. Everything she did was perfect!

Lucy made traveling for me and my small group smooth and organized. Our accommodations were lovely and all arranged transportation was punctual and knowledgeable. Lucy also offers many options to choose from from flight arrangements, tours, and even horseback riding. She listens attentively, and works from your interests. Lucy responds quickly to calls and texts. In brief if you work with Lucy, all you have to do is enjoy the journey.

Had a great time in the Canadian Rockies with family that lives far away.

Seeing all of the National Parks and wildlife, Old Faithful, and Mount Rushmore was amazing. Lucy is always available and always helpful in planning our trips. We are going more places as we know Lucy will take care of the details.

Lucy is a professional! Completely organized - knowledgeable and communication could not be better. From start to finish - everything went smoothly. It was awesome just to pack and go!

It was indeed our first tour anywhere, and everything exceeded expectations. The hotels, excursions, local guides, and meals were all first-class. Not to mention the espresso, the breathtaking scenery, the wonderful weather, and the Italians! Even the bus was comfortable, and on the longer rides, we appreciated having a rest stop. Traveling with our AV friends added meaning to the trip. Yes, we both completed the survey, and we would both consider another tour with Collette. You did a great job organizing and your efforts at keeping us well-informed throughout the year leading up to our departure were commendable. We genuinely appreciate the dedication you put into ensuring our tour was unforgettable. And of course, there was Luca, our tour manager. His extensive knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for Italy truly brought the experience to life, enriching our understanding as we traveled. He could have easily relaxed during the bus rides, but instead, he made the effort to educate

I had hoped that the trip would be first class and AmaWaterways exceeded my expectations. The food, service, staff, excursion flexibility, hotels pre and post were exemplary. Nickola the cruise manager was outstanding. Thank you so much for recommending them - and for your work setting it all up! We so appreciate all you have done for us and should we take another big trip, you know that we will be in touch!

Lucy was AMAZING! She was so knowledgeable and made by travel plans stress free. We will definitely be utilizing her expertise again for any future travel. She took care of EVERYTHING for us. She made sure that we had everything we needed.

Working with Lucy has been a fantastic experience! She provided valuable insights on river cruising and the various cruise lines, ultimately finding us an excellent deal with Uniworld that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. I especially appreciated the three hotel choices she offered in each city for our pre and post-cruise stays. Lucy was incredibly responsive to our numerous questions and requests, making the entire process stress-free. Her service was top-notch!

Lucy helped us arrange an incredible expedition cruise in the Galapagos with Lindblad/NatGeo Expeditions. Highlights are too many to mention but among them were 5-star hotels on the mainland, private drivers and guides, pre-cruise extension to Mashpi Lodge and Reserve, visiting so many islands in the Galapagos, and ALL the wildlife. Witnessing the Volcanic Eruption on Fernandina Island was fabulous! Lucy's efforts in coordinating the arrangements and flight were appreciated. Having a travel agent for this trip was necessary given the complexity of detail.

Lucy is the most fabulous travel agent—she knows the business very well, is delightful to work with, and is always immediately responsive to questions. This was our first time working with her, and she helped us so much with a complicated 2-week trip to Europe that included three countries, flights/trains/rental car, and reasonable lodging. She was right there when any questions came up during the trip, which was very heartening! If we make a trip like this in the future where a travel agent is needed we will certainly ask Lucy!

Lucy is very knowledgeable, responsive, and a joy to work with. She kept us informed and up-to-date on any changes which occurred during the lead up to the tour and provided assistance even during the tour.

I travelled with my family out west. We visited several National Parks as arranged by Lucy including a mule ride into the Grand Canyon. We were able to see so much beautiful scenery and even finished the trip off with a night in Vegas. One of the best trips I've ever been on!

Lucy is the best in the business. She is always on top of everything. Communication is key with a travel agent and she is always there for me .. Five stars all the way. Nothing lacking and she's just outstanding in every way.

We are about to board our plane at Shannon. We've had a glorious week. Thank you so much for all your help. Marie was a joy to travel with, entertaining, efficient and knowledgeable. We loved her !

Great planning and easy to work with
