First International Vacation.
Reviewed By K &S Brown - St. Paul, MN | Traveled to United Kingdom ~ Europe
Mary did a wonderful job asking questions concerning what we were looking for on our vacation to Great Britain. She provided several bus tours to choose from and helped us decide which would fit our criteria. Mary was available to answer all our novice questions concerning international travel plus other helpful tips . She booked our extra excursions, and hotels. We appreciated her extra steps to make this trip a reality. We highly recommend Mary to be your travel agent.

Self-guided Italy tour made seemless
Reviewed By AKinder - Littleton CO | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Mary took a skeleton description of what we wanted to visit in Italy, made all the airline, high speed train reservations, hotel reservations, and guided tour reservations for us to independently tour the country and visit all the highlights we had selected. We literally just had to show up at the designated tour meeting place, or respective train station in order to get to where we had to go. Mary selected comfortable hotels near the train stations making it easy to walk to with our luggage. It was an amazing trip made so smooth by all the coordination Mary did. We absolutely loved the trip!
Mary Krueger responded
"I love working with itineraries in Italy and am so happy to hear you loved the country as much as I do!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

An incredible adventure!
Reviewed By Bruce - St Paul, MN | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Mary has helped us plan trips to Hawaii and then Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. Mary listened to what we hoped for, gave us options and revised our itinerary as we gained new information. Our trip was an incredible adventure filled with smooth flights, great places to stay and memory making excursions. She gently guided us to a resort in Fiji that allowed us to relax, eat well and enjoy fantastic snorkeling. Other than one late driver all the transfers went well. We look forward to planning our next adventure with Mary!
Mary Krueger responded
"Thank you for this kind review, I am so glad you were able to see this beautiful part of the world."

    Sled Dog Puppies Denali National Park 2024

    Alaska & The Sled Dogs

    Alaska is nearly the size of the Continental US, and if you are only going to visit the state once, a cruise may not be enough time to truly see all of the region. Cruising is wonderful for exploring the hard-to-reach cities of Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway.  After, your cruise, consider a few extra days to enjoy the interior as well....

    Prompt Service For Our Destination Wedding
    After numerous attempts to inquire about wedding planning options with various agencies, Mary was the one who contacted me and made me feel like I was a valued customer and worth her time. I didn't have to wait days or weeks for a phone call or email back. Mary always responded in a timely fashion and we were very grateful for that! Not only did Mary provide great customer service, she also found us our fabulous wedding destination: Dreams Resort & Spa - Tulum, Mexico. It was a bit further than we wanted to travel with kids, but it was absolutely amazing and I couldn't have imagined it anywhere else. Mary has a wealth of knowledge and access at her fingertips - I absolutely recommend using her!
