Our amazing Alaska trip was easy because of Cristi
Reviewed By Donna - Austin, Texas | Traveled to Alaska | USA
I was lost with all the details of planning our trip. It was a burden taken off my shoulders when I contacted Cristine and she took control with her experience and knowledge. We’re very grateful for Cristine.

Glacier National Park Trip!
Reviewed By Judy - Portland, Oregon | Traveled to Glacier National Park ~ Montana ~ USA
We used Cristine to book our Glacier National Park trip using Amtrak. It was a fantastic experience! She knows exactly where to go, how to book it and all of the excursions to hit.

She put us in the Glacier Park Lodge which was perfect. Our excursions to the Going to the Sun Road, white water rafting, St. Mary's Lake, Grinnell Glacier Trail, Swiftcurrent Lake were absolutley amazing and breathtaking!

We stayed a night at the Tipi Village which felt like we transported back into the 1800s. Blackfeet Reservation is full of history and beauty and the people were so friendly and helpful!

We packed a lot of our own food but her recommendations to hit some of the lodge eateries were perfect. It was nice to sit for a while and have a good meal!

We loved using her and can't wait for our trip next year to Zion!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Disney Trip for the Books!
Reviewed By Glenda Dvorak - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Cristine secured a reservation for me at the stunning Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and worked closely with me to create a customized park itinerary. She provided invaluable advice on which parks to visit each day based on crowd levels and special events. Thanks to her expertise, we were able to maximize my time in the parks and experience all the must-see attractions without feeling rushed.

Securing dining reservations at Disney World can be challenging, but she took care of everything for me. She made reservations at some of the most sought-after restaurants, including Be Our Guest and Cinderella's Royal Table. But also gave us the best advice to maximize our time with quick service options! She also helped me navigate Genie+ and Lightening Lanes.

Her first-hand knowledge of the transportation made it so easy to get around! Overall, this was a wonderful trip and using her services made it all stress-free! We will use her again for another vacation for sure!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Corporate Travel Partner
Reviewed By Susan L. - Austin, Texas | Traveled to Washington D.C. | District of Columbia | USA
As the CEO of one of the most successful fundraising consulting firms in the country, I’ve had the privilege of working with many talented professionals—but Cristine stands out among the very best. She has been one of my most intelligent, dedicated team members for over a decade, and she also manages both my professional and personal travel with exceptional care. I am continually impressed by what she accomplishes each day, not only for me but for our high-profile clients as well. Her attention to detail, strategic thinking, and commitment to excellence are unmatched. I highly recommend Cristine to anyone seeking a true partner—someone who takes the time to design thoughtful, highly detailed itineraries and delivers a seamless experience from start to finish.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
