I can’t say enough amazing things about working with John. I came to him needing help booking a somewhat last-minute cruise, and instead of stressing me out, he made the entire process feel smooth, easy, and genuinely enjoyable. What really stood out was how much time he took to understand me, my likes, dislikes, quirks, preferences, and the kind of vibe I wanted for this trip. He didn’t just send a few random options; he curated a thoughtful list that actually matched my personality and what I was hoping for. John checked in, asked smart questions, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. His patience, kindness, and attention to detail made me feel like I was his only client. He took all the guesswork and stress out of planning and turned it into something exciting. Thanks to him, I headed into this cruise knowing it’s exactly the right fit for me. If you need someone who goes above and beyond, someone who genuinely cares and delivers exceptional service, John is your person. I truly couldn’t recommend him enough.

John is the only travel agent I’ve ever met who truly puts the client first. Everything he did was meant to improve upon our experience. His only goal is that his clients have a great vacation. Right down to the special surprise our kids received for their birthday! Thank you John for everything you do.

John was exceptional to work with for all of my travel needs. He took the time to understand what I look for in my accommodations and talked me through several different options to ensure he found the best fit for me. I appreciated his thoughtfulness and how he always made sure to keep me informed as he moved through his booking process. I can't wait to see what he comes up with for my next trip as I'm sure it will be amazing!

John was extremely helpful in planning our trip! It was a big one with a lot of moving parts, and he made the whole process seamless. He gave us amazing recommendations and even put together detailed PDFs with itinerary suggestions, neighborhoods to stay in, and things to do. He was super communicative throughout and really took all our preferences into account. Honestly, I don’t know how we would’ve pulled it off without him and it was the perfect trip thanks to John.
