Sandals Barbados
Reviewed By Kend1 - Hauppauge,New York | Traveled to Barbados | Caribbean
Margaret is a great travel agent. She was knowledgeable, helpful, and responsive. We stayed at Sandals Royal Barbados this trip. We had an issue with our room and she had the connections to help us fix it. Not only was it fixed, but because of her connections, we were given a beautiful upgrade. Highly recommend.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Sandals Antigua
Reviewed By Jeffz - Holbrook,NY | Traveled to Antigua & Barbuda | Caribbean
Just returned from Sandals in Antigua and Margaret could not have done better. She was extremely knowledgeable of the resort and was able to provide excellent recommendations. She even went above and beyond rectifying an issue with the airline the night before we were flying. Had such a great time we already booked for next year. You won't be disappointed utilizing Ginger Peachy Tours and Travel.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Multi Generation Italy Trip
Reviewed By Mollie - Westchester,NY | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Margaret and her team are true professionals and curated an amazing multi-generational Italian vacation! Every aspect was covered and she had unique destinations for us within Italy that were a lovely compliment to our Rome itinerary. Margaret was incredibly responsive (we had a ton of last minute questions!) and always gracious. I will definitely be using Ginger Peachy again for our travel needs and I highly recommend this boutique agency.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
