Destination Wedding
Reviewed By Isaac&Jaclyn - Sarnia, ON | Traveled to Costa Rica | Central America
We used Gail for a large wedding group that required lots of planning. Our original trip was cancelled at the airport due to destination weather. Gail worked very hard with us to get another date and group trip set and organized. She never complained about having to do everything twice for us, and was always very helpful throughout the whole process. We would be happy to use Gail again, and would recommend her to any of our friends and family.

A wonderful trip from beginning to end.
Reviewed By Ivan - Exeter, Ontario | Traveled to Netherlands | Europe
Gail always puts her all into the planning of our trip. She is extremely helpful with all the planning of the whole trip as well as extra tours, hotel accommodation, flights, insurance and air bus services. She never makes us feel uncomfortable when we ask questions and immediately helps to answer them. We would not use any other agent as she is the absolute best.

Great Vacation
Reviewed By Marianne - Dashwood, Ontario | Traveled to Rhine River | On the River | At Sea
Gail's expert knowledge and advice helped us book our recent river cruise. When the cruise line changed the itinerary last minute due to low water levels we never had to worry! Gail took care of re-booking our flight home from a different city than originally planned and co-ordinating everything with the cruise line. It was seamless on our end and left us free to have a great time. A++ for Gail! Awesome job all around. We'll be going to her again for our next cruise!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Cancelled Trip
Reviewed By N/A - N/A | Traveled to St. Lucia | Caribbean
Gail went above and beyond as a travel agent and we will definitely be using her for future trips! Booking the trip was a breeze, and Gail had everything extremely organized for us prior to leaving. I cannot emphasize how much we appreciated her help when needing to cancel our trip 3 days before we were planned to leave. She answered my email promptly, and arranged to call me immediately. She knew exactly what we needed to do to utilize our cancellation insurance which truly made all the difference during a stressful time. She went out of her way to assist us with all the paperwork that needed to be submitted in the days following. We really recommend those looking for a travel agent to reach out to Gail!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
