Great adults get away!
Reviewed By Kim - Cottage Grove, MN | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Kristi was wonderful to work with! In the beginning stages of our trip planning, she spent a lot of time gathering information for us. When I would switch my thinking of destinations Kristi always reassured me and would share information with me. She was dedicated, hard working and always willing to go the extra mile. I thought it was great when I received an email from her during our vacation-she was just checking in to make sure all was going well.
I highly recommend Kristi for your travel needs. She is excellent at what she does!

Our Turks & Caicos trip was a hidden Paradise! Our entire trip was highly organized for us; we loved Kristi’s communication online. We like the way she chooses a place for us by giving us at least 3 options and stays within our budget. Kristi, I have given your name to 4 of my retired teacher colleagues—they all wanted to hear about our trip; so business & bookings may be coming your way. Thanks again for your continued great service.

What a spectacular Mexican trip!!
Reviewed By Scholls - Cottage Grove, MN | Traveled to Los Cabos ~ Baja California Sur ~ Mexico
Kristi (Ali) was an absolute joy to work with. When we wanted a safe trip to Mexico, she suggested options that we could choose from. She stuck to our price range and provided us with a great selection of all -inclusive resorts. We were so happy with Los Cabos at the Hyatt Ziva. The price was cost effective and the views and landscape spectacular! Kristi had our transfers arranged to and from the airport; very safe. She answered ALL of our continued questions with grace up until our departure. We were pleased to fly Delta airlines. They were efficient and on-time. THANK you, Kristi, for the lovely fruit and champagne that awaited us in our room upon arrival.
We were so pleased with our Mexican vacation. We will definitely use Kristi again for any travels, as a couple or an extended family. I love her organization & efficiency!!

This is the first time I have worked with a travel agent. I must say it was really slick to have someone else deal with all of the arrangements and just send us the documents we needed.

The hotel check in didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped. No one was there to direct us to the "elite" guest area, so we first ended up in the regular check in lines and the desk clerk got perturbed with me because I was the wrong area and wasting his time when many other people were waiting.
The other thing was that we didn't receive the " carnival" basket in our room that everyone else received.

Kristi and her assistant are always efficient. I contacted her several times prior to my departure to have her check to see if the price has gone down and she is always speedy at returning with the answers for me.

My plan is to get a large group together for another trip to Punta Cana in 2019 and we will definitely all be using Kristi.

Kristi was an amazing person to work with while we planned our honeymoon. Neither of us had ever used a travel agency to book a trip, nor had we ever done much traveling outside of the US.

Destination wedding
Reviewed By Happy Bride - Wethersfield, CT | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Through the magic of google, I am so fortunate to have found Kristi to help me plan my destination wedding. When I first met Kristi I was overwhelmed by location and hotel choices. After a brief phone conversation she helped me narrow it down to Mexico!! From there she provided me different hotel options and their prices. Including little things she liked about each one. Kristi even set up a phone meeting with one of the Hard Rock Resort Wedding reps so I could ask all my questions. Kristi was so great to work with and always responded quickly to my emails. She helped book almost 70 of our guests to the resort! Even helping my family members from Europe with their connecting flights. Kristi made sure everyone's transportation to/from the airport was clear and smooth. She even threw in a little extra for my husband and I!! (it was a great surprise).

After spending weeks trying to plan our own honeymoon to no avail, my wife and I decided to try using a travel agent and wound up emailing Kristi. From the get go, she was incredibly responsive (always emailed us back within a day, most of the time within a few hours), and made the entire process a breeze. We just got back last week, and everything was absolutely perfect. She had everything planned down to transportation to and from the airport/hotel. I can't tell you how nice it was to get to the airport, have a ride waiting to drive us to the hotel, then on the day we left to have another ride waiting out front. We literally did not have to worry about a single thing. She was extremely helpful in making sure that we had the perfect honeymoon planned, and even checked in before we left to make sure we had everything we needed.

Best Agent Ever!
Reviewed By Jamie L - Omaha, NE | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
Kristi is the best travel agent I have ever used. She listens to what I want and uses every resource to come up with the best plan for me. I've had the best vacations using her as my agent. I've asked her to plan 3 vacations for me now and recommended her to friends. She helped with my first trip to New Zealand, getting me set up for all the Lord of the Rings adventures as well as so many interesting hikes and journeys around the New Zealand landscape. She helped me with my second trip to New Zealand where I also spent time in Australia. When one of my connecting flights got switched she was right there to help so I didn't get stranded. We recently went to Ireland and although the Scotland part of our trip was planned by the band we were going with, I didn't like their travel agent at all and switched to Kristi for our personal portion, knowing she would get exactly what I wanted. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Fabulous and easy destination wedding
Reviewed By Ali - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Our family booked a destination wedding trip to Punta Cana, D.R. through Kristi "Ali" Mackedanz, and we had a really great experience throughout the whole process. Kristi was very friendly and professional, and she always answered all of our questions promptly. She also provided excellent emails and materials with tips for what to bring on our trip and details to keep in mind once we arrived--so helpful! Once we arrived, the trip went very smoothly--no complaints at all. And we loved the whole trip--the beach, hotel, the staff, the grounds, the activities and excursions, and of course, the wedding. Just beautiful! I have already recommended Kristi to one friend who is thinking of going to the D.R. and would happily recommend her to others as well. Thank you to Kristi!

Kristi is fantastic!
Reviewed By Bo - Warrens, WI | Traveled to Europe
Kristi has worked on two trips for me since the beginning of the year: one to the Dominican and the other to the U.K. (England and Scotland) and Ireland. She planned our Dominican trip because she was the travel agent for a wedding I attended, and she did a great job for that trip. Because I don't live in The Twin Cities and I knew that Kristi tended to specialize in Caribbean trips, I tried to contact a couple of other travel agents near me to help me plan the UK/Ireland vacation. These other travels agents either didn't get back to me at all or contacted me later than I had expected. I ended up contacting Kristi, relatively last minute, to help me plan the UK/Ireland trip for four people, with varying destinations towards the end of the trip. Kristi was exceptional in planning and found us excellent flights and lodging for our trip. She is extremely responsive. I will be using her travel expertise again for my future trips.

First family outing
Reviewed By Terve - St. Paul, MN | Traveled to San Diego ~ California ~ USA
Ali was very nice and was quite flexible in our meandering ideas of what might suit for a first family trip. She was very lax in communication and did not research some of the items we had discussed. I wish she had been more versed in some of the locations we mentioned based on the profile she promoted. The only reason we won't suggest her to family is because we'd like to establish a better relationship with her. We try really hard to get to know our vendors before suggesting family and friends to use them. I believe that once a good relationship is fostered we will be able to update this review and hopefully pass on Ali's information.
Kristi Mackedanz responded
"Thank you for your review. I'm saddened that you feel that I was lax in communicating, as I look back at our emails we communicated quite frequently & we discussed many different options. I hope that you found my detailed info helpful in planning & deciding on several different destinations with this trip, and we can absolutely discuss your future plans on new destinations as well. Thank you for considering referring me to your family and friends, I look forward to working with all of you again."

My wife and I have worked with Kristi for a couple of years now. She has been very knowledgeable about the destinations we have chosen to visit. Kristi knows my wife and I lean toward the higher class 5-star hotels by the visits we have had with her, so she always has suggestions where we should stay. Once we pick out a destinations she plans the flight, transfers to hotel, rooms at the hotels to our standards,travel insurance, everything we need for a care-free trip with no surprises. When we book with her we know ahead of time what we will get when we arrive and what it will cost. Sometimes she plans a trip for us that ends up costing more then what we thought and we decide not to go. This doesn't upset Kristi and she is always happy to help us the next time we decide to travel. I know you can plan trips on the internet, but we like knowing exactly the type of room we are getting before we go.

Topnotch Agent
Reviewed By Buddy - Blaine, MN | Traveled to Mexico
First off, Kristi is so pleasant to work with. She has a wonderful personality and a great disposition. She listens carefully to what kind of trip you are looking for and then brings back many different options. Because of her extensive traveling she will give you a lot of inside information that you would never receive booking on your own. We have booked several trips with her and I have never found a better deal anywhere else.
You will be very pleased with your whole experience with Kristi and I would highly recommend working with her on any vacation you are planning.

A Beautiful, Relaxing, Vacation!
Reviewed By Cindy - So. St. Paul, MN | Traveled to Mazatlan ~ Sinaloa ~ Mexico
Kristi was so very helpful with her knowledge of Mazatlan, Mexico. We knew what to expect, where to go and the highlights of this area prior to going because of the time she took with us in her office. As our trip approached we received information via email on the procedure of customs, who would connect us to the hotel and even tips on how to pack. Kristi was always available for a phone counsel if we had questions or would get back to us quickly as possible if she was unavailable. I will use Kristi again in my next venture as she made my vacation worry and effort free for me. All I had to do was get on the plane!
Thanks Kristi,
Cindy Carter

We had a great time
Reviewed By Becky - Waseca, Minnesota | Traveled to Caribbean
We have done a large family cruise thru Ali and a small family cruise. We had a great time on both vacations. Ali set everything up, we didn't have any issues. She contacted us several times to see if we had any questions and to double check that everything was in place. I would recommend her services and we will be using her again in the future.

Great Experience
Reviewed By Curtis - Raleigh, NC | Traveled to Kona, Hawaii ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Kristi was put under the gun with just a couple of weeks to help me organize a trip to Hawaii, and she came through like a champ. Normally I do all my own reservations and research, but it became too complicated when I started adding Pearl Harbor when we were staying on another island. Kristi took care of the flight to Kona, then to Honolulu and back home. She also had a car service pick us up, a hotel for two nights on the Big Island....all things no way I could figure out under pressure. It was fabulous!!!

Eliminated the stress, hassle, and risk for us!
Reviewed By mark e. - lakeville, mn | Traveled to Mexico
Ali did an awesome job for us. We were a family of 4 traveling outside of the US for the first time. One of the reasons we decided to use a travel agents was to minimize risk - forgetting passports, not knowing to arrange shuttles, currency exchange, what hotel would suit us best - these were all concerns of ours.
Not only did Ali have the answers and guidance for the risks above, but she took all the hassle and stress out of the entire planning process.
There were no hiccups, no surprises, and no issues with our trip - and we had an awesome vacation!
Thanks Ali.

Wonderful Wedding/Honeymoon
Reviewed By Jonathan - Fairfax, VA | Traveled to Playa Del Carmen ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Kristi was AMAZING. She planned our Wedding week and Honeymoon to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. She went above and beyond to help us. She played liaison between us and the resort. She assisted us in questions and concerns to get sorted out even after we were introduced (via email) to the wedding coordinator. This to me, was above when she needed to do. Even after everything was set in stone and paid for, she still kept in regular contact to make sure everything was transitioning smoothly. We are considering a tropical vacation later this year with people from Buffalo, Ny, the Twin Cities, MN, Denver, CO and Washington DC. I will definitely contact Kristi to coordinate and set up our resort!!!!

Exceptional Agent

Ali is an exceptional agent. Not only is she timely with the required travel documents, she is extremely knowledgeable about the various areas to which we have traveled. She takes the time to know you individually and learns your likes and dislikes of traveling and based off that information offers you several options from which to choose.
We have trusted Ali for five years in a row now and never have had a bad experience. She works tirelessly to make sure her clients are provided the best service.

Kristi was so great to work with! Being from a different state, we were able to do everything over the phone or e-mail, which was great.

Costa Rica is a must see
Reviewed By Nadine Babu - St. Louis Park, MN | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
I've worked with Kristi for about 3-4 years now. She is fantastic. She makes planning a vacation very effortless. I have referred her to numerous friends, all whom have been extremely happy with her customer service, planning, and knowledge.
Kristi is the type of agent you can text on a weekend, when you're on vacation, and she'll get back to you and answer any of your questions. She's also great at finding excellent deals, and working with your dates.
