Our Reviews

Beverly
Smooth Sailing
AJ was an awesome "cruise director!" My sister and I had a wonderful get-away adventure on Virgin Voyages. AJ was knowledgable about the cruise line and made excellent suggestions that made booking, travel to the terminal, embarkation, dining, sea day and excursions affordable and easy. She even went the extra step and gave us "floaties" for the beach day - we were the envy of all our fellow passengers. AJ listened to what we wanted from this trip and helped us navigate the entire process (we were truly cruise virgins).

Adventures is Asia
AJ has planned many amazing trips for us as always this one was over the top. We had a fantastic 27 day trip in China and Japan. All the hotels were first class and so seamless when checking in. We had no worries about who was picking us up as our driver and guide were a plus. we had tours every day and traveled extensively throughout both countries. We saw so much and did so much that we feel we got to experience these countries to the absolute fullest. We would have never had the chance to do this without AJ. She knows us and knows so many vendors and ins and outs we will never travel without her!

Costa Rican Adventure
AJ is a comprehensive travel advisor. She facilitates all the activities to create memories for a lifetime. Her recommendations for activities and accommodations were outstanding, immersive, and age-appropriate. This was our first trip with AJ as our advisor and everything went exactly as planned. We look forward to future trips!
