New England and Caribbean Cruises
My tour with Shana was the best trip I've ever taken, 7 years later I still talk about it! I've also been on cruises and other independent trips booked by Shana to Florida, Tennessee, Memphis, Arkansas, and West Virginia. Those are some of my most memorable experiences.
Mary R., Amelia, VA
First trip to Boston
Shana went above and beyond to make sure our trip was amazing! She put together a whole itinerary for us that gave us a great overall view of the city. It took away so much stress that I usually have about traveling and planning. In addition to helping us plan and book attractions, Shana also sent us a whole list of recommendations as well as travel tips for our first time using public transit! I can't wait to book more trips with Shana's expert guidance.

New England Guided Tour
I booked a guided trip with Shana to New England. We took the old cog rail to the top of Mt. Washington, walked along the boardwalk in the Boston Harbor, saw the gingerbread cottages on Martha's Vineyard, and toured the mansions of Newport, RI. We also explored some of the White Mountains and small seaside New England towns. Overall it was a great trip!!
Sandra S, Tappahannock, VA
First Cruise was unforgettable!
Shana scheduled my very first cruise in Spring 2022. She presented comparisons of several different lines, weighing the values and differences for the obvious things, such as costs, itineraries, cabin locations, and food choices. But she also dug much deeper into things I would not have considered, like Who has the best drink packages for the money? What is the experience on an adults-only ship vs. a family friendly ship? What exactly is there to do on the ship between ports? She sifted through all of the data and helped me find the perfect choice with MSC, that stopped at Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, St. Thomas, and a private island in Bahamas (which was pretty close to Heaven on earth). She even planned 2 days of sightseeing in Miami pre-departure! It was a fantastic experience that turned me from cruise skeptic to dreaming about my next boat trip before the ship returned. If you are ready for the vacation of your dreams, you must get Shana on the job!
