Danielle's reviews

From start to finish, my experience working with Dani was great! She was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and made the entire process seamless for me as a traveler. Dani knew exactly what to ask to understand what my needs and expectations were, and absolutely made my vision come to life. She arranged a hotel in the perfect location and had transportation ready upon my arrival and departure. The staff knew me by name and made me feel like an important guest, assuring I was well taken care of during my stay. Working with her for my future travel will be a non-negotiable!

Dani was responsive and took care of all needs, even booking airport transportation that wasn’t available from the hotel. There was immediate follow up as soon as possible after we arrived to make sure everything was good. Thanks Nick and Dani.
