England 2025
Reviewed By Happy Travelers - Linton, IN | Traveled to England | Europe
Chrissi was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process. She was flexible, friendly, proactive, and highly professional, while demonstrating remarkable patience with our evolving schedule and specific preferences. From start to finish, her communication was transparent, timely, and thorough. Her exceptional organizational skills ensured that every detail was handled seamlessly, and she consistently kept us informed prior, during and after the trip. Thanks to her attention to detail and dedication, we were able to enjoy the process with complete confidence and peace of mind. I would not hesitate to work with Chrissi again for future travel planning and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, reliable, and client-focused travel advisor. She exceeded our expectations, and I am confident others will have the same outstanding experience.

Great Trip to London!
Reviewed By Chrissi Deed - Indiana | Traveled to London | England | Europe
We were in London England for 12 days and seen everything you can see. Chrissi did a fantastic job getting us tickets and organizing each day where things flowed and were near each other. The service she used to pick us up from the airport and to return us to the airport was great also.

Ireland/Scotland bus tour
Reviewed By Michele - Columbia MO | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
Chrissi did a marvelous job in taking care of our Trafalgar bus tour through Ireland and Scotland. We saw and did so much! Many castles, ate at some great restaurants, and nice hotels. I gave limited mobility. Having the bus company take care of luggage was a big help for hubby. I was able to get on and off coach with no problems. Bus driver and travel director made sure I did ok. Chrissi also took care of air fare. She also had lots of communication and asked lots of questions. Answered all our questions too! We are using herr again for a cruise in 2026!!!
