Cruise on the Danube

Overwhelmed by choices for a river cruise we decided to work with a travel agent for our river cruise in Europe. Within a day, Maureen found exactly what we were looking for that fit our schedule and budget. She was prompt with replies to our questions and when our outbound flight was canceled due to weather, she spent hours trying to rebook our flights. Due to the disruption in our plans, she also took care of the changes on our arrival at the destination. She was calm, reassuring, and helpful at every step of the way.

Grand Canyon Plus more!

Maureen was helpful, responsive and always willing to make things work the way we needed them to. We took our family of 5 to Las Vegas, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon, the Grand Canyon and Phoenix AZ. Great vacation, accommodating hotels at a reasonable price.
