Last minute Nashville trip
Reviewed By PhillipR - Atlanta, GA | Traveled to Nashville | Tennessee | USA
I'm so happy Dakota could help me out with last minute planning for my wife's birthday trip. He found us a place right on the river with a private pool in a quiet neighborhood that was still close enough to walk downtown. He also booked a bike tour and gave us great recommendations for music venues and restaurants. What really stood out was that when there was a billing mistake with the lodging, Dakota followed up and helped us get a refund. He didn’t just book the trip and disappear. He made sure everything was taken care of from start to finish.

Contacted Dakota for arrangements for our trip. He acquired various hotel options and booked the one that met our needs. Booked complicated airline reservations for 5 travelers with varied departure cities. He made sure we got the rooms we desired. He made sure we knew how to contact him if there were any glitches during our trip. There were NONE and we had a terrific vacstion
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
