Anybody who believes that a travel agent is there just to book flights, rooms & perhaps provide brochures or canned itineraries, hasn't worked with Sandra. Sandra took lots of time to really understand our personal interests & lifestyle preferences, & then laid out a fully customized trip plan that included many unusual destinations & guides who were hand-picked to cater to our rather specific interests. She also booked us in the loveliest, best located, and most reasonably priced inns & boutique hotels imaginable with upgrades & special treatment in every location. Even as experienced travelers, there is no way that we could have put together a trip this flawless & magical without
Sandy's experienced guidance & meticulous planning. It was the trip of a lifetime.

I can't thank you enough for helping me plan the African Safari. Your knowledge of the airline industry got me the best rates for business class, round trip from NY to South Africa. Your knowledge of worldwide travel, helped make this the TRIP 0F A LIFETIME. The restaurants you recommended, Savoy Cabbage, and The Test Kitchen, enabled me to get a true flavor of South African food. They were definitely not tourist places; but where upscale, local South Africans dine. Lions, zebras, elephants, & other wildlife were amazing. You obviously did your homework, & helped me put together the trip of my life. I am already thinking about my next trip & will leave the details in your capable hands. Maybe Australia, Eastern Europe...You tell me. Thanks again!

Working with Sandy was a real pleasure! After preliminary discussions about our interests, Sandy came up with an itinerary that covered much of what we wanted to see. The tours and excursions that she booked, and the accommodations, were all superb. Every detail was taken care of before we left, including car rental, trip insurance, and itinerary with many excursions. During the trip, we had to change direction because of complications on the ground in NZ. The partner travel agency did a great job helping us reroute our travel and finding us different lodgings, so we know that Sandy works with suppliers who know what they are doing! We will definitely use Sandy the next time we plan another trip.

Our travels in Spain encompassed a myriad of details - air and train travel, cultural tours and an amazing cooking class in Madrid. We blended time on our own with pre-booked experiences and Sandy planned the perfect itinerary for us. The hotels were well-located and experiences in and of themselves. Sandy sends you off with complete confidence and recommendations for everything. There's a plan, every detail is covered and a network behind you if you need anything. With Sandy, you can focus on enjoying the travel and not worrying about anything.

The trip was amazing. Cape Town was a blast and the tour guide was great. The Safari has to be one of the best activities we have every done. We got to see all the big 5 animals. The food and safari lodge was beyond what we expected. The lodge also was one of the best hotels we have every stayed at. Victoria falls was great too. Everything on the trip went smoothly.

My wife and I were referred to Sandy by my parents as a travel agent for our honeymoon. She was a huge help for us, especially since we were very busy planning our wedding, and she did a fantastic job arranging an unforgettable trip. From the beginning, Sandy was very attentive to our honeymoon ideas and budget. We had a couple introductory phone calls and she came back to us with several potential vacation options, before we finally decided on Greece.
Our honeymoon was stress-free, as all of the hotels, travel, and transfers were prearranged. All we had to worry about was having a great time. We would absolutely recommend Sandy to anyone who would like some help planning a vacation.

Who else but Sandy would put up with 2
couples, from 2 cities who'd never taken a
cruise before and called or emailed with
questions for weeks. Sandy was more than
helpful. She was our teacher, our referee
and our friend from the start of our
planning through our Bon Voyage.
Thank you Sandy for your patience and
guidance.

We would like to thank Sandy for making our stay in California such a fabulous experience. Both the Napa Valley and San Francisco itineraries were beyond wonderful. With ten people in our group and all of us having had such an enjoyable time say a lot about the time and effort you put into our vacation.
The wineries you chose for our tours were all unique in their own way, which made each one so much fun to visit. But they all had delicious wine. The hotels were perfect; the restaurants in both Napa and San Francisco were great. All transportation arrived timely and was very comfortable. The whole trip flowed so smoothly. We definitely would like to visit again in the future and when we do we will be in contact with you

Once again Sandy came through. We have worked with Sandy previously and she and her team once again came through for us. We were looking for a family vacation spot in warm eastern area, and she suggested Orlando. She found us a great house to rent and the whole family had a blast. There were a couple of logistical issues with the local rental company, but Sandy got it sorted out and we had a great time.

Sandy was amazingly thorough in the planning of, and then even more importantly during our trip to Japan & China. We had a weather issue interrupt our plans, and Sandy had a "Plan B" in place before we even knew we had a problem. She listened to our rather specific needs and met everyone.

My friends and I just returned home and we are all still vibrating with excitement from the surprise NYC birthday bash you arranged from my husband ! I want to say a sincere thank you for an amazing experience. This was our entire group's first NYC trip and it did not disappoint. The hotel and rooms were outstanding and we loved its proximity to everything. We were all so thrilled with the delicious meal at Wolfgang's steakhouse, loved the walking tour and especially enjoyed the Broadway show, An American in Paris (seats were perfect!). It was one of the BEST trips we have ever taken (and my very first ladies' getaway!). Thank you so very much for putting this all together and for making it a trip to remember. Your personal notes, tips and card were also very much appreciated.

Our 15-day Japan tour was fabulous! From the modern cities like Kyoto, Hiroshima to the ancient Buddhist temples in Koyosan, and all the picturesque mountain towns in between, we never stopped learning and enjoying the country, the culture, the people. Our guides and drivers were all superb, and each brought a different take on things. They enjoyed being questioned, and in turn, we enjoyed answering their queries, too. Always punctual, always polite and helpful, including escorting us on to our trains and through the train stations, which are quite formidable at first glance. We now have a sense of Japan we'd never have experienced had we not enlisted your guidance. One of your guides recommended a small bistro in her neighborhood: Who knew we'd have a great French meal, cooked and served by two guys who spoke less English than we spoke Japanese. Part of the fun was communicating via a few French words, a cell phone translation app, and lots of gesturing. Delicious, as was the whole trip. Thank you, Sandy!

This was a 3.5-week trip, with multiple venues and stops, via major airlines, bush planes and vans. All went amazingly well. Sandy's choice of African trip specialists was superb, and our guides added so much to our experiences. All the accommodations and personnel exceeded our expectations. Absorbing the history, the sights and the sense of the Africans we met, will be lasting, fond memories.

10 year wedding anniversary, 7 destinations in 3 weeks! Where do you start? Call Sandy! Thanks to her superb planning our trip was a success. It was fabulous and romantic. We appreciated her prompt response to changes and how quickly she took care of it. Sandy took charge and took care of our itinerary from transportation to hotel accommodations and tours. The flights, trains and transfers were seamless. We enjoyed all our accommodations. What great choices. It exposed us to areas we would have never known or gone to. Thanks so much Sandy!

We had a fabulous trip to Thailand thanks to you. It was so easy - someone was always there to make sure we got where we were going. The places we stayed were all beautiful, especially Haad Tien Resort on Koh Tao. We would go back there in a heartbeat. Thanks for making my birthday trip so special!
