Magical honeymoon!
Reviewed By K+J - Holland, MI | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Allison did an amazing job of explaining all the things to expect on our vacation with the new regulations in place. She did an amazing job of relaying new info as it came in. We are grateful for the time we had and Allison played a big role in making sure we just had to show up!!

Travel Agent Review
Reviewed By Annie - Grand Rapids, MI | Traveled to Caribbean
Allison has been absolutely wonderful to work with. We have a big group going on a cruise and she has really put in the time to make it a smooth process. She is a dream to have around if things go wrong... like a pandemic hits and all the cruises cancel 3 days before you are supposed to leave. She will sit on hold and go back and forth and do what it takes to get her clients what they want. She will keep you informed and is very responsive. Allison is a true professional and an expert at Disney and family travel but we are also using her for our grown-ups only Mexico vacation. We found her by accident, but we will be using her on all our vacations going forward. You should too.

Our best vacation yet!
Reviewed By Happy travelers - Holland, MI | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Allison was AMAZING! She was very quick to attend to our needs/wants and general questions, and believe me, there were plenty! Whether it was email or text, months prior to our trip and even while we were traveling she was there! Her professional tips and tricks allowed for us to get the most of our first family trip to Disney. She was even able to tailor ideas and suggestions to our children's ages and interests which was a HUGE help! I can't wait to book with her again!

    Paris with Teens

    This summer, I had a great experience in Paris with my teenage daughter!  My clients are often curious about how to plan travel experiences that will engage and delight their teens, and while there is truly a way to do that with any destination, Paris is a naturally teen-friendly destination!  From the great food to the Instagramable site...

    Client Testimonials

    Multi-Generational Norway Adventure
    We worked with Allison to plan a trip for 3 generations of our family to travel to Norway and visit Oslo, go on a fjord cruise, and then visit our ancestral town. Allison was extremely patient with us as we tried to make decisions, with the cruise operator, and with hiccups along the way. She picked great hotels for us, recommended excellent restaurants and sights, and ensured that everything went smoothly--a hard feat for a trip for a group of six ranging from 1 to 70 years old! We really appreciated her foresight on things we never would have thought of, like having prearranged transport the day we got to Norway, having a private tour in a city we had only 24 hours in, and staying at an airport hotel the night before we left Norway. Allison went above and beyond with helping us with delayed bags when we were on the cruise portion of our trip. She stayed on top of the airline and airport staff and got our bags back to us in one of our cruise ports. We highly recommend her to you!

    Game-Changer for Disney Cruises
    Allison was an absolute game-changer for us on our Disney Cruise! Without her, our vacation would not have been anywhere close to what it was! From booking private events for our daughter to arranging transfers to making dining reservations, she was on top of every single thing way ahead of us and checked in regularly to see if we needed anything during the trip. I can't express how much we truly appreciated everything she did for us! 10 star service for us and we will definitely be reaching out to her for our next vacation!
    S Family, Indiana
    Wonderful Spring Break in Jamaica!
    Working with Allison was so easy! She had great recommendations tailored to our family and budget. We made a change in plans and Allison made new suggestions and made the switch so simple. She did all the leg work and contact with the resort. All I had to do was look forward to the trip! The provided itinerary was so helpful, everything we needed was all on one place. Our room was in a prime location, and I’m pretty sure Allison went above and beyond to make that happen. The whole experience was stress free and fun! We will definitely use her again and recommend to family and friends.
