Experience of a Lifetime
Reviewed By Mommymay - Brunswick, GA | Traveled to New Zealand ~ Australia & New Zealand
Ginger is an excellent t agent! She has taken care of our trips to Universal Studios and family trip to Walt Disneyworld. She took care of everything making sure that all concerns and questions were addressed. She was in touch while we are on vacation; just checking if all is well. Ginger always goes above and beyond her job as travel agent. While she only took care of my travel insurance for my trip to NZ, Ginger still have her best service a customer can ask for. I have 2 sisters living in Auckland so they did most of our travel itineraries.

Easiest, most relaxing &stress free honeymoon ever
Reviewed By laurenhagan92 - Savannah, GA | Traveled to Seattle ~ Washington ~ USA
Ginger is AMAZING!!! She took all of the stress out of planning our honeymoon to Seattle and was always quick to respond to communication. She took into consideration our budget, interests, etc. and gave us so many options to choose from whether it be a hotel, attractions or even restaurants. She arranged for us to go on some really neat tours and even looked into things I found online and gave feedback/made arrangements. I don't think I'll ever plan another trip without Ginger! She was so helpful along the way and even while we were on our honeymoon as we ran into a few minor bumps. I wasn't even worried because I knew all I had to do was contact Ginger and she would be on it (and she was - ASAP!). We had the BEST time in Seattle and are so glad we were referred to Ginger.
