My organization (national trade association) has been working with Dan for over 20 years, to identify conference venues that meet our specs, and negotiate rates and terms that are far more favorable that we could obtain on our own. He is accessible, responsive, effective, and has a wealth of knowledge that we have tapped many times over the years to tweak our conference planning and offer better value to our members and other meeting attendees. Amending contracts, running interference, suggesting alternatives, arranging back-up -- it's like having a highly skilled professional on staff at no cost to this association!

Val - Italy ~ Europe
Dan has done several trips for our family and many of friends. I’m the kind who likes to research and book travel on line. Dan did an Alaskan Cruise/Vancouver trip for a large group of us. I did almost nothing to plan or book it other than providing necessary info. The service was so good and the experience so hassle free that I’m beyond convinced that this is the way to go and booked a cruise for 6 of us this past Spring Break. Dan found the perfect cruise got all of the promotional perks he could and a great price! Very highly recommend Dan!!
BA - Alaska ~ USA
We have booked a couple of trips through Meister Meetings & Travel that were awesome including joining a group cruise vacation from Rome that included a private mass in the Vatican along with lots of other exclusive experiences which was fantastic. We had a great time and met some new friends on the group trip.<br/><br/>They definitely make travel easy by listening to what we want to do and then create a custom itinerary we can download to our phone that fits our needs along with taking care of all the small details and adding special touches that makes our trips very special. Additionally, Dan Meister is very experienced in travel and helped get us ready for our Europe trip teaching us travel skills like packing, safety, handling money and setting up our cell phones internationally so we were fully prepared for our adventures. <br/><br/> We highly recommend their travel services and will be booking more trips together.”

Dan was amazing! Made everything for our Alaskan honeymoon super easy. Was always available when we had questions, got us set up on everything from start to finish too! From the minute we got to the airport to the minute we returned, everything was handled. We were given a large choice of excursions for our cruise and instructions were clear and it was less expensive than going through the cruise line. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using his services in the future. Cheers Dan!

Anita - Alaska ~ USA
Thank you so much Dan for making our recent London/Paris adventure a trip of a lifetime. Reaching out to you for help is one of the best calls I have made. <br/><br/>Since Connie and I had never been to the UK or Europe, having you arrange all the travel and living accommodations, along with your suggestions of things to do, made the difference. <br/><br/>As you know, we covered some ground while we were there, so there were a lot of T's to be crossed and I's to be dotted. You nailed it Big Dan. <br/><br/>Rest assured I will be singing your praises to all who will listen and I'll be reaching out to you again for our next adventure. Take care.
Sully - England ~ Europe
Dan is very attentive to details, and makes good suggestions on how to make the most out of corporate events and vacations. Our meetings have been highly rated by our employees, eliciting comments such as "best meeting ever" and "location and amenities were fantastic." Dan is extremely knowledgeable about the hotel industry, and makes sure our site visits are comprehensive and enjoyable. He puts the interest of his clients first, and makes sure the planning and execution are successful. He works hard to secure extras for his clients, such as complimentary receptions, sand sculptures, and extra amenities. Dan also pays attention to the little things, such as his clients' personal interests, even making sure any dietary preferences are taken care of in advance. <br/>Our best vacations were ones that Dan planned for us. We did a group Mediterranean Cruise through Dan, he held informative pre-trip meetings, arranged for a private mass at the Vatican, planned onboard events.

This was our first time using Top Group Travel and I must say that Dan and his team exceeded every expectation. We took a trip to Paris and Amsterdam with my Mom to see the tulips at Keukenhof Gardens. Dan designed, customized and coordinated our itinerary perfectly. From start to finish the communication and service level was outstanding. I HIGHLY recommend using Top Group Travel for their travel expertise and customer care and we will be using them in the future. “Thank you Dan the Man.”
Gary N - France | Europe
This is the second time I have had the pleasure of working with Dan to plan a family trip to Europe. It did NOT disappoint! Dan selects wonderful hotels that I would not find on my own, he suggests activities that I probably wouldn't think about. This time it was a Flamenco Show and dinner in Sevilla and a TukTuk Tour. Dan helps make my life so much easier and the trips end up being easy to manage as well! I look forward to working with Dan again when we next go to Europe!
