Our favorite vacation of all time!
Reviewed By KC - Copley, Ohio | Traveled to Europe
Lori did a fabulous job of creating a vacation to remember. We traveled around Europe on a cruise visiting France, Italy and Spain with some extra days in Paris and Normandy. She found some wonderful excursions which allowed us to see some magnificent places and experience some exciting adventures as well. She organized all of the information in a nice binder which made it simple to follow throughout this two week adventure. I would highly recommend Lori for your European and Cruise Vacations.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

40th Anniversary trip to Italy
Reviewed By Kblisa - Ashland, Ohio | Traveled to Italy | Europe
I reached out to Lori with what I wanted to happen on our trip. Sites we wanted to see and towns we wanted to visit. She created a fabulous trip. We did not want to go with a group. Lori arranged transportation for us to all the hotels and tours. We had a number from someone in Italy to give us advice or help if needed. That too was arranged by Lori! We will use Lori again for sure!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing Recommendations
Reviewed By Raylynn5069 - Youngstown, Ohio | Traveled to Acapulco | Guerrero | Mexico
Not only did Lori provide us with multiple great recommendations while on our vacation search, she was easy to work when we settled on our perfect destination. Lori shared so much information about our resort (apps to download, maps, restaurant guide, etc) that we felt right at home on day one. Lori is amazing!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

An amazing trip to Portugal
Reviewed By JVS - Ashland, Ohio | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
Lori helped us book a wonderful two week vacation for our daughter’s graduation trip. Everything went as planned, Lori took care of every detail. We had two private tours that we didn’t necessarily ask for, but ended up probably being our top two excursions on the trip! Portugal is beautiful, clean, safe, excellent food, and nice people.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Amazing African Safari

    My adventure began in the bustling city of Johannesburg--a lively introduction to South Africa's rich culture and history. From there we journeyed to Zimbabwe, with a amazing sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. We had an interesting lunch in the home of a local family and learned about their culture.
