Do I need travel insurance?

The first is "I wish I would have had insurance", and the second is "But I DID have insurance" Let me explain. As a matter of office policy, I recommend travel insurance with each trip I sell.

    Black Hills Road Trip
    Reviewed By Colette - Minnetonka, MN | Traveled to Black Hills ~ South Dakota ~ USA
    We did all the "normal" things people do when they're in the Black Hills: Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Needles Highway, Wildlife Highway, Sturgis, Wall Drug, Deadwood, etc. Obviously, most of these places are very commercialized, but, a few definitely worth seeing. I'm glad we had an "agenda" so we didn't miss any of the good stuff!

    It was SO easy working with Katie on ALL the plans, etc. No matter what a pain I could be, she was on top of everything! If we go anywhere else, we definitely will be going through Bucket List!

    Client Testimonials

    Graduation Trip
    For our sons solo graduation trip to Australia and Bali, we chose to work with Katie because of the stellar experiences we had with her previously. We knew she would be extremely organized and communication would be outstanding. We felt confident that she would organize the trip as if she were doing so for her own son. We appreciated Katie giving us choices as to how the trip was planned. We had a say in each detail. It was great to hear from her via email every step of the way. We liked receiving communication very regularly. Katie provided value by always making sure we were on the same page and giving us choices cost wise. It was a difficult trip to plan because we know she wanted to make sure our son had a say, but she also respected us as parents and made sure we were comfortable with the plans. He wanted to cram as much adventure as he could into 3 weeks, and she definitely made that happen. Thank you, Bucket List Travel, again for making his dreams come true!
