We recently had the pleasure of working with Maria Shepard as our travel agent, and our experience was exceptional from start to finish. Maria impressed us with her extensive personal knowledge of destinations, offering guidance that matched our interests, preferences, and budget. Her recommendations were thoughtful and well-suited to our needs, whether we were looking for adventure or relaxation. Throughout the planning process, Maria demonstrated remarkable flexibility. As our itinerary evolved and travel dates shifted, she adapted quickly and always responded with patience and creativity. It was clear that Maria was willing to go the extra mile to ensure our trip was everything we hoped for. She uncovered hidden gems, gave us insider advice on local attractions, and even suggested ways to make our journey more memorable. Maria’s advice was invaluable—she helped us avoid common travel pitfalls, provided tips on navigating airports and local customs, and shared helpful insights on accommodations and transportation. Her follow-up was outstanding; Maria checked in regularly before our departure, kept in touch throughout our travels, and followed up afterwards to make sure everything had gone smoothly. When we encountered an unexpected disruption during our trip, Maria’s support made all the difference. She responded swiftly, handled the situation with professionalism and care, and found solutions that minimized the impact on our plans. We felt reassured knowing that Maria was looking out for us, turning a stressful moment into a manageable one. We highly recommend Maria Shepard to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated travel agent. Her expertise, flexibility, and commitment to excellent service set her apart and made our travel experience truly outstanding.

We had such a wonderful time! Maria suggested our destination based on conversations we had and took great time and effort to match our preferences to our hotel selection, tours and activities. She was so knowledgeable and helpful.

Maria was amazing with booking our honeymoon! She took the time to know us, what we liked/didn't like, entrainment/attractions she would recommend and made a step by step itinerary that made the trip effortless! Would highly recommend Maria and looking forward to booking a trip with her in the future!

Maria was amazing at helping us plan our amazing honeymoon to Santorini, Greece! She was attentive and listened to all of our needs and wants. This was our first international trip and we were nervous. After our first meeting with her she calmed all of our nerves and reassured us thay everything would be perfect! She set up all the excursions and private transportation throughout the island. Maria provided us with a full detailed itinerary prior to leaving, making our trip seamless and carefree. She is patient and will answer any and all of your questions any time of day! I highly recommend using her for all of your travel needs. We will continue to use Maria for all of our future trips!

Maria was absolutely amazing to work with while planning our trip to Disney World in November 2025. From the very beginning, she was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to meet with me, answer all of my questions, and make sure every detail was clear and stress-free. She truly went above and beyond, creating a personalized itinerary, helping us secure reservations, and guiding us through signing up for Lightning Lanes so we could make the most of our time. Her expertise made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I am so appreciative of everything Maria did for our family. I will absolutely continue to work with her for future trips and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, organized, and dedicated travel agent!

Let's start by saying we couldn't have been more pleased with the service we received from Maria. We initially heard about Maria through mutual friends as we were planning a group trip to Europe. At that time it was Maria's idea to meet us in person which gave us a more personal connection. Working with her we found her to be very accessible, informative and responsive. These qualities gave us peace of mind and we knew things would be taken care of. Due to an error on the part of the airline upon check in, we contacted Maria (it was early in the morning) and she immediately made phone calls and corrected the issue. We will always use Maria going forward with our travel arrangements knowing if there were any issues, she would address them immediately. She is extremely wonderful to work with.
