FROM OUR CLIENTS
Nice words that
have been said about us
Rescued Our European Vacation
In 2019 Darby rescued us from having both our flights to and from Europe canceled. She put together an extension for us to Lugano and Lake Como to wonderful hotels. Darby took care of all transportation from Basel. Darby has booked us on cruises through the Panama Canal and to Australia. Darby booked an AmaWaterways cruise for us, including the Pre-Cruise from Bucharest to Vilshofen, with a private transfer to Nurnberg and the another cruise to Luxembourg. We had to cancel the second cruise due to Covid. Darby guided me through all of the insurance forms, so we were able get back all of our money. Although I often book our flights and hotels (using points I have), it's great to have Darby's backup knowledge. We would highly recommend her.
