Fantastic trip with the family!
Reviewed By ERistow - Farmington, MN | Traveled to Florence | Italy | Europe
Nikki did an amazing job while trying to coordinate multiple people for this trip. We had a few challenges with whether this trip could even happen, and Nickie kept in touch and communicated every step of the way. The trip itself was amazing with great options for the diverse group traveling. Nikki and her team came up with fabulous suggestions and accommodated our requests. It was the trip of a lifetime! I have recommended Nikki and Travel Leaders to several people already and will continue to do so.

Trip of a Lifetime!
Reviewed By SandySue - Farmington MN | Traveled to Florence | Italy | Europe
From the first day we met with Nikki to begin our planning until the day we arrived home from our trip of a lifetime, Nikki was there for us. Nikki arranged our airfare, our airport to hotel transportation, our excursions…you name it, Nikki was there listening, working with the travel group in Italy, checking in with us, always available. Nikki is a kind, quietly efficient agent whose goal is to help make all go smoothly. From our cruise on the Arno River in Florence to our cooking class in the Chianti region of Tuscany, our trip was special. I have told several friends about the excellent service we experienced with Nikki Beranak and Travel Leaders - Galaxy Travel. Nikki helped us plan a trip that involved my entire family - daughters, sons in law and adult grandchildren - a very special trip. My husband and I celebrated our 60th anniversary and our 80th birthdays on this trip. So many precious memories. Thank you, Nikki.

Client Testimonials

Italy Family Trip
I did not work directly with Nikki. My wife and my daughter did that. However, listening to them talk about how reassuring and supportive Nikki was in helping make our family trip to Italy a reality, I can say Nikki is pretty darn amazing. I appreciated how timely she kept all invoices coming with documentation. And being on the receiving end of all that was planned and executed for us on our trip, I want Nikki to know how much she is appreciated. We had a great trip…all 9 of us.

Family trip to Tuscany
I want to give a huge thank you to Nikki Beranak for all that she did for me and my family in planning our trip to Florence Italy. From the very beginning of our planning until the day we returned, Nikki was there. If i had a question or needed help, Nikki was there. Nikki listened to my thoughts and offered support as well as suggestions. I leaned on her experience and expertise. Nikki put together what truly was a trip of a lifetime for my family. She and the travel team in Italy she coordinated with were great. Nikki and her colleagues are professional, supportive, attentive, approachable and dependable. I appreciate Nikki so much. This trip went beyond my expectations. It was magical. Thank you Nikki!!
