Perfect, thorough planning
Reviewed By Patrick K. - New York, NY | Traveled to
Mary booked a trip to Costa Rica/Jamaica for me. She built a flawless itinerary and walked me through every detail of the trip. She even let a couple of surf clubs know that I was on my way--when I arrived in Tamarindo, they were waiting for my call! Both the Costa Rica and Jamaican resorts were perfectly suited to me and I had many new friends by the time I eventually returned home. It was a first-class trip from a first-class professional.

She organized a dream vacation for us
Reviewed By Chez Cheri - Little Silver, NJ | Traveled to
Mary did an outstanding job of planning a dream vacation for us in St. Lucia. She found a beautiful hotel for us and was able to get us a fabulous upgrade. There was even a bottle of wine waiting for us in our room. She is so easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable. She has been to so many of the locations that we are interested in and can give insider's tips. I highly recommend using Mary for your next vacation.

She'll make your Dreams come true.
Reviewed By Barefoot JD - NJ | Traveled to
When you trust Mary to plan your vacation, you know it will be great. She is careful and thoughtful, providing ideas and making sure you get exactly what you want. When you work with Mary, you're not just a customer, she treats you like family. She is knowledgeable, courteous and thorough. She answers all of your questions and makes sure the little special things are done right. Mary has helped our family book trips of a lifetime, including a Disney cruise for 4 of us, and a trip to Dreams Punta Cana for 22 people to celebrate a 50th birthday. We will not hesitate to let Mary help us plan all our vacations to come.

Mary was fantastic!!
Reviewed By Lisa - Huntington, NY | Traveled to
Mary did a fantastic job planning our honeymoon. She gave us great advise and made the whole experience stress free. We were so impressed by her organization and we loved how she packaged all of our documents and itinerary. It was easy every step of the way and we loved the arrangements. We were especially impressed when we lost a bag and she contacted us and asked if everything was okay and if we needed any help- amazing! I would highly recommend Mary!!

THOROUGH
Reviewed By Javaboy - RED BANK, NJ | Traveled to
Mary always thoroughly researched the areas my wife and I showed interest in,....and added other choices and options. Once a destination was determined, Mary would seek out the best deals and make suggestions and recommendations that she thought may enhance our vacation experience. On more than one occasion, she actually brought material to our house, so we wouldn't have to travel anywhere to get our paperwork......That's above and beyond.

Dream honeymoon!
Reviewed By Chris and Mg - Howell, NJ | Traveled to
When my wife and I were planning our wedding, the only thing we had locked down was the band and we wanted to honeymoon in Tahiti. Of course, booking travel across the world is a daunting enough task, but the fear was whether or not the places you would stay would be all what you wanted. After doing A LOT or research, we decided to meet with a few travel agents (as well as book your own online) and ended up coming back to Mary. It made us comfortable that she specialized in Tahiti vacations, and it seemed like she genuinely wanted to help you plan your vacation instead of sell you a vacation. She was a wealth of knowledge about the hotels, the several islands of Tahiti, and what each had to offer. By the time all was said and done, she managed to get us exactly what we wanted within our budget, from flight to transfer between islands. We couldn't have asked for more! The places she came up with for us was everything she said they were. We were so impressed with her that we went back to for booking to Disney January of this year and was equally pleased with the result then as well!

Italy and Greece 2018
Reviewed By Phil and Maria - Red Bank, NJ | Traveled to Europe
This was our first time working with Mary and we would certainly choose her again. We went to one of the bigger travel agencies prior to Mary, who told us that they would put something together and come back to us, but we never heard from them again. We decided to give our business to a local agent, which is how we found Mary. This trip was not like our others, it was more complex and we needed destination local assistance because they were unfamiliar to us (four destinations in two weeks). We needed local ground assistance and lodging options, as well as how to get from points A, B, C, D. We gave Mary a framework of destinations and asked her to put the whole thing together. We didn't know if boats, trains, planes were the most preferred and effective method and this is where Mary's expertise really shined. While being away for two weeks not one itinerary item was altered, delayed, or a problem. We have referred friends and family to Mary.

Wow! what an adventure we had!
Reviewed By Sarah - Point Pleasant, NJ | Traveled to
We just got back from our trip and Wow! what an adventure we had! The ranch was beautiful and the views were breathtaking. The staff at the ranch couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. The food was fantastic and there was a great variety. I overheard people asking for specific dietary needs ( vegan/gluten free) and the chef made every meal to meet people's needs. John and I ate everything!! They make you a packed lunch since many people are out hiking or fishing throughout the day, which worked great for us. This trip was truly for someone who loves the outdoors. We went hiking, fishing, took a tour of the fish hatchery, toured the town (which has a population of 63!!! haha!!) and went horseback riding. John kept saying how much he loved the trip and he even wants to plan on going back! All in all I would say it was a complete success from start to finish. The only "surprise" was that when we woke up each morning it was in the 20's and 30's but by lunchtime it would reach 70/80 degrees. The range in temperature was amazing. Thank you again for all your help in planning this trip. John and I made memories that will last a lifetime!! I'm sure we will talk soon to plan for the wedding in St.Lucia!!

Wonderful
Reviewed By Joe - Ledgewood, NJ | Traveled to
Mary has arranged three trips for us over the last few years. One to Italy, one to Alaska and one to London, the London trip being the most recent. In each instance, her suggestions and advice were right on. She always found the best hotels that met our needs. We trusted her judgement and she worked to find us hotels that met our budget and were in locations that we would not have known to choose but we realized the value of when we arrived and were very grateful for her suggestion. Even when we chose a tour against her advice, we realized she was correct in her assessment when we went on the tour and regretted not listening. We are planning a couple of new trips and will definitely engage her when we are ready.
