Nette was our holiday hero!
Reviewed By Jennifer - Virden | Traveled to New Orleans ~ Louisiana ~ USA
Nette booked our flights, hotels, a cruise and a 5 day stay after in New Orleans. She worked hard before our trip to get us a good deal and to make it a trip we would never forget. However, the services she provided was so much more than just booking the trip- she actually saved it too!

While we were travelling she was following our flights from her office and noticed that due to flight interruptions that we were at risk of missing connections and, ultimately, our cruise! When we got off the plane she notified us by email , and called, and was already working to give us instructions on how we could reconnect and get to get back on track to where we needed to be. She was so helpful behind the scenes to get us new hotels and cancel old ones and to help chase luggage on our behalf and to help with insurance claims later.

I was very impressed by her service and professionalism. Nette was our holiday hero!

    Client Testimonials

    A Cruise Story.
    Nette was knowledgeable and kind, always had time for us and all our questions. She kept us up to date with all communications from the travel companies, made sure we understood what was sent and always followed up to make sure we had everything done that was required for the trip. We encountered several delays through the trip, extensive delayed flights, a hurricane, and a delayed cruise ship. She was just a phone call away, she followed up with everything that was going on and guided us as to what we should do. After the trip ended she continued to help and guide us with all of the insurance claims .We love her sense of humour and we would definitely recommend her to anyone!
