On a River Cruise in beautiful Budapest

 

 

 

 Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mother was a highly respected travel advisor and one of the top cruise specialists in the industry. Her dedication to her clients, incredible work ethic, and genuine passion for creating unforgettable vacations inspired me from an early age. Some of my most treasured childhood memories were made traveling with my family and experiencing the world together.More than 20 years ago, our lives changed forever when my mother was unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer and passed away. Determined to honor her legacy, I entered the travel industry with the goal of carrying forward the same level of care, integrity, and personalized service that made her so successful.After spending a year learning the business, my husband, Mike, and I founded Dream Makers Vacation Services with a simple vision: to elevate the travel planning experience by combining exceptional customer service, firsthand destination knowledge, and trusted industry relationships to create unforgettable vacations for every client.That vision quickly became a reality. Our agency experienced rapid growth, earned numerous regional, national, and international industry awards, and expanded into a team of passionate travel professionals. Together, we have traveled extensively throughout the world, allowing us to provide firsthand recommendations and expert guidance across a wide variety of destinations and travel styles.Today, more than two decades later, we continue to grow, learn, and invest in our industry so we can offer our clients the very best travel experiences. While much has changed over the years, one thing has remained constant-our commitment to treating every client like family and planning each vacation with the same care and attention we would give our own.We look forward to sharing our concierge-style approach to travel planning and helping you create memories that will last a lifetime.

I would never travel without my TA!
Reviewed By Kim - Myrtle Beach, SC | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
We got lucky and met someone that had used Amy while we were on a vacation, she was telling me that Amy had arranged a bottle of wine waiting for them ... we had cooked direct and I knew immediately I needed a Amy in my life. When we returned from that trip I reached out to her to plan out our next trip. That was in 2015, she has been my travel agent since then!! She is so knowledgeable, helpful and calming (I am a traveler that always second guesses my choices) Our first trip to Sandals under Amy had a few hiccups (travel delay, wrong room assignment) and man one email and she was ON IT. It was solved and we were compensated for our issues, I have NO doubt that would not have happened if we weren't booked with her. We use Amy for all our travel and I recommend her services out to whomever is traveling.

Amazing Europe Adventure!
Reviewed By giannaciliberto - Philadelphia, PA | Traveled to Europe
Amy was amazing and so helpful in helping us plan our trip! We traveled to 5 different countries and Amy made the transition seamless as we ventured around Europe. Her advice and help on planning excursions in our different locations was also very helpful! I would highly suggest her to anyone who needs help narrowing down where to visit and what to do when abroad!

Highly Recommended for Stress Free Trip Planning!
Reviewed By Jody Burkland - Wheeling, WV | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
We have worked with Amy for several years and for several trips, and I can't imagine trying to plan a vacation without her. She's always been patient, available and responsive to any/all questions that pop up along the way no matter how big or small. She has first hand information on just about anything/anywhere we've traveled and has stayed in communication with us the whole process from planning, booking and even checking in on us while traveling to make sure all was going well. She communicates with the hotel/resort/destination before during and after our trips to make sure our requests and preferences are communicated to the right people and follows up with us during and after our travels.

I know that once I decide on a destination and dates that my work is done and I can enjoy the excitement and anticipation of the trip rather that worry and stress about the details. I've actually stopped referring to her as my travel agent and think of her as my travel angel
Amy McHugh responded
"Thank you for your kind words and for all that you do. We love working with you and being a part of your amazing vacations. We are very excited about your trip to a new destination (for you) in the Fall, of Key West. Thank you again for being awesome!"

Atelier Playa Mujeres

I traveled to Atelier Playa Mujeres with my sister. As soon as we arrived, I knew this resort was going to become one of my favorites. We were greeted with a drink and received our bracelets at check in that acted as our room key. We stayed in the Inspira Junior Suite Swim Out with Double Beds. I do recommend booking Inspira level as this allows...
