Wendy was fantastic! She was on top of every detail from day one. She worked especially hard for us to find the best deals possible for food, air-flight, hotel and field space. Her response time was fantastic and always had answers for things before we even needed them. She presented several options for us for just about everything we wanted to do and had helpful advice that made choosing easy. Would highly recommend her and we will use her again in the future!

Wendy went above and beyond to assist me and my family in creating the trip of a lifetime. She was always available by email or phone to provide answers to even the smallest questions in a warm and professional manner.
DD - Greece ~ Europe
Wendy has been very helpful as I plan my trip to study abroad in Argentina. The program I am going with did not offer much advice as far as the best traveling arrangements and I had never booked such a big trip on my own before. Wendy had a lot of useful advice and was also able to find me a plane ticket for a much better price than what I could find on my own. I highly recommend asking her to help you out with your next trip!
Grace -
Wendy is always extremely knowledgeable and efficient. She responds to calls and emails immediately. She has booked vacations for me in Europe and the Caribbean. Since meeting Wendy I have not booked a vacation on my own. She takes the pressure of planning a vacation away. I highly recommend using Wendy as your travel agent. She is already done research for my next vacation.
Lori - Bermuda ~ Caribbean
Wendy has helped me plan my last three vacations and I will definitely use her expertise in the future again. She is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her.
Lori - Bermuda ~ Caribbean
Wendy is a jewel. She helps even if it is her weekend. She always stays in touch and has managed to save us a ton of money. We had a family emergency and needed a plane ticket asap for a young man 1800 miles away. On the weekend, she had it for us in a very short time.<br/><br/>It is so wonderful to work with a true professional who is also a caring person.
Jan - Europe
Wendy was great with our trip to New Zealand. She planned everything from the airfare around the islands to all the tours we did. She had a pretty comprehensive map that she gave us for our month long trip to see both islands. Many of the tours were pretty cool, and even though some of the vendors had some misinformation about what we truly received, Wendy was able to fight tooth and nail to get us at least some of our money back.
All in all she is very responsive and did a good job with our travel.
CJ -
Wendy was terrific: Prompt, informative and kind. She has excellent attention to detail and is supportive to ensure your best experience. She navigated all my concerns before I embarked on my solo trip across the globe for three weeks. Her group travel recommendation in NZ was fantastic and I had the most amazing time. Can't thank you enough, Wendy! Looking forward to booking another trip with her.
Ana - Australia & New Zealand
Wendy helped me come up with a memorable first time trip to Italy for my daughter. It incorporated her desire to see the Amalfi coast and Rome - all within a reasonable budget! We stayed 5 fantastic nights on a lemon farm in Sorrento where we had a pizza making class and learned how they make limoncello. Highlights included a tour of Pompeii, the Walk Of The Gods and a day on the isle of Capri! During our brief stay in Rome (2 nights/days) we took tours that included all the top things to see such as the Trevi fountain, the Colosseum, the Vatican and much more!
Steve - Amalfi ~ Italy ~ Europe
Wendy was wonderful to work with. She took care of absolutely everything from the hotel and flights to airport transportation and travel insurance. Any questions, no matter how minute, were answered quickly and professionally.<br/>When we arrived at our hotel we found she had arraigned an upgrade to a suite! WOW! :) Thank you Wendy! We had an excellent time!<br/>We will definitely work with Wendy again and have already recommended her to friends and relatives.
Lisa - Aruba ~ Caribbean
We loved the river cruises that Wendy had previously planned for us and were interested in doing more. She sent us a list of fabulous small ocean cruises that I had been totally unaware of. When I saw the list, I wanted to take them all. But we settled on an Italy/Montenegro/Croatia cruise with an overnight in Rome to explore the city. Unfortunately, I had a death in the family and had to cancel the trip a week beforehand. <br/>Wendy was supportive and informative in helping me navigate the requirements of the travel insurance claim. She is always responsive and accessible any time I need her assistance. <br/>I have been working with Wendy for 4 years for all my trip- planning and have referred her to family members and friends. I look forward to re-planning my cruise next year.
Cathy - Italy ~ Europe
Consistently strong advocate: prompt communicator, knowledgeable, gets things done. Covid effect after travel plans were made was dealt with by Wendy without a skip in the record - our transportation, accommodation and related expenses were cancelled (and vouchers set in motion) without my lifting a finger.
Mary - San Diego ~ California ~ USA
Great trip due to a very knowledgeable travel agent. Wendy was spot on with all her recommendations. We would not have had a great a trip if we tried to do it ourselves. Wendy was the difference between an average vacation and a non forgettable one!!
J30jeep - Alaska ~ USA
When we ran into trouble with my daughter's travel plans, Wendy was very helpful and supportive. She helped us problem solve and got my daughter back on her trip.
Parent of teenage traveler - China ~ East and Southeast Asia
Wendy is such a sweetheart. She is kind and generous with her time when it comes to helping people. She is patient, understanding & friendly. Consider yourself very lucky if she is your travel agent. I feel blessed that as a travel agent, I couldn't have received a bigger blessing than having her as my mentor. She is always there for me when I outreach her & always willing to help!
Merwyn De Sa - Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Wendy was fantastic! I was thinking of and trying to set up my trip to SE Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia) by myself as I had done one other trips. But it was getting complicated, and Wendy stepped in (sort of at the last minute) and fixed everything up. I ended up for part of the trip on river cruise down the Mekong through Cambodia and Vietnam for part of the trip, and it was fantastic. Her suggestions were spot on and made my trip great! Hotel and side-trip suggestions were great. Honestly, everything worked out great.....the one suggestion that I didn't take her up on was getting a suit tailored in either Chang Mai or Bangkok...kept dragging my feet and waited too long....I know really wish I had done that now! 10 out of 10!
Garvo - Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
Wendy booked a trip to Europe as well as a cruise for us and made it so easy! We had never traveled to Europe before and were a little nervous. Thanks to her wonderful, comprehensive skills, we had a fantastic time and loved the cruise.
We will definitely contact her for our next trip!
Nancy -
She's great. Has your best interest at heart.
Shay - Italy ~ Europe
Wendy has gone above and beyond to assist me and my family in creating a highly personalized trip of a lifetime. <br/>She was always available by email or phone to address even the smallest concerns, always with warmth and professionalism.
DD - Greece ~ Europe
Great job! Wendy has organized several vacations for our family with great success
nickzach - Miami ~ Florida ~ USA
Wendy is a wonderful person.
Dan - Ireland ~ Europe
Wendy did a wonderful job in pulling our trip together. We knew where we wanted to go and which cities, but she made all of the arrangements including car rentals. The restaurant at our hotel in Dubrovnik was so good that we ate 3 out of our 4 meals there. All the other hotels as well as our wine tasting tours and the side trip to Mostar with a wonderful man and his wife as our guides were excellent. Putting together our trip and getting decisions from our group members was a bit like herding cats, but Wendy was very patient. I highly recommend her.
Randy -
My college roommate and I are taking a back packing trip through New Zealand and Wendy relentlessly searched for deals and packages that could fit our very tight budgets. We would have struggled and no doubt overpaid without her. She even took time during her own vacation to personally check out the hostel she would be sending us to. 10/10 thank you!!
Scott -
Wendy was amazing at helping me to organize my family trip. She found affordable, convenient places for us to stay, booked us great tours and really helped to create the flow of our 10 day trip. I have referred 3 friends to her already and will use her for my next trip!
Amy -
Wendy was amazing to work with planning a trip to Morocco. She recommended a tour that included everything I was looking for, and more. She also kept me up to date on any/all changes right up until departure time. Wendy even sent an email regarding a delayed piece of luggage upon my return, I hadn’t even mentioned it to her!
EKM - Morocco ~ Africa
Wendy provided good suggestions for our Ireland tour and helpful advice for stay in Ireland and London.
Rick and Louise Urda - Ireland ~ Europe
Working with Wendy has been an absolute pleasure, and she helped me put together a fantastic trip to Japan. Based on the interview with me, she was able to recommend the perfect tour, then make some great suggestions for other activities. I'd be happy to book another trip with Wendy.
Josh B - Japan ~ East and Southeast Asia
I rust Wendy completely to curate a trip that finds the most interesting things to do
Barri - Ireland ~ Europe
Couldn’t ask for a better person than Wendy! Looking forward to the next trip with Wendy! She was excellent!!??
Ralphie - Ireland ~ Europe
We recently went on a trip of a lifetime (at least for my wife and I). We went to Australia, New Zealand and Tahiti. I researched travel agents and found Wendy for planning our trip. We were gone for 25 days and our trip included land, cruise, taking a ferry to an island (Moorea). There were a lot of moving pieces in our trip, that could have gone wrong. NOTHING went wrong ! Wendy nailed it ! She listened to me and planned everything to perfection. Our trip could not have gone any smoother. We will be using Wendy for all of our future travel plans.
Azgolfer - Australia ~ Australia & New Zealand
Wendy was fantastic! The trip was amazing, but equally impressive was her patience and assistance as we had to repeatedly reschedule due to the pandemic and then some health issues of our party. She helped us make all the right decisions and we are so thankful!
Ray N - Ireland ~ Europe
Wendy was instrumental in helping plan a self-guided 8 day trip to Italy. We were a group of 5 women with definite ideas on what we wanted to experience. She has extensive knowledge of Italy and took the time to really understand our wants. She patiently worked out the details, suggested wonderful accommodations and booked flights, hotels, taxis, rental car and train travel. "A to Y", everything was wonderful. When we got to "Z", the flight home, we missed a connecting flight due to staffing issues at the airline. I called Wendy, who went to work for us (on a Sunday) and was able to book return flights on the next day. There were hundreds of passengers trying to re-book that I'm sure were not so lucky. Thank heaven we had her to help us. She followed up with me after we got home and assisted with the travel insurance claim for additional expenses. I highly recommend Wendy and will certainly call on her whenever I travel in the future. She is just terrific!
GoDivas #1 - Italy ~ Europe
Absolute pleasure working with Wendy once again. She answered all of my questions, even the ridiculous ones, and if she didn't know the answer she found it for me. Every transfer, every hotel reservation and every day excursion went off without a hitch. Thanks for the excursion recommendations!
KK - New Zealand ~ Australia & New Zealand
very responsive, listened well and developed an excellent trip matching our requirements
T - Holland ~ Netherlands ~ Europe
Russia is a difficult work product, but Wendy made it work efficiently through her help with the Russian visa process and through her correspondence with the St. Petersburg hotel to secure reimbursement in case the visa did not come through. It did, and Wendy's air, hotel, transport and tour arrangements throughout the trip, including Prague and Paris, were impeccable and ran smoothly throughout.<br/><br/>Wendy's experience and insight made her an invaluable asset in securing a comfortable, fun and stress-free trip.
Very Pleased - Europe
Wendy made planning our cruise a pleasure. It was a cruise with 5 of my girlfriends. She was very accommodating and understanding while scheduling the trip. I just booked a 3rd cruise for next year with Wendy. That's how satisfied I am with her planning. I find it a pleasure working with her.
Sue - New Orleans ~ Louisiana ~ USA cruise
I am getting close to 80. At this time in my life I have had as much drama as I could want. Now what I want in my travel is comfort and certainty. We have worked with Wendy for about four years. This includes trips to French Polynesia and Europe. There has never been drama over travel arrangements: everything is well organized. Wendy knows us and what we like; her recommendations for everything, from places to go to <br/>Where to stay for a long layover. Wendy has our total confidence.
Gary - French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
Wendy did a fantastic job with our Hawaii trip!!! She is very knowledgeable, fast and will get the best for everyone
Nik Z - Maui Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Super easy to work with and very caring, down to every detail! We've used Wendy as our agent several times and highly recommend her :) We travel with our kids and she's always planning perfect trips that our ENTIRE family enjoys!
NicoleB - Cuba ~ Caribbean
We knew we wanted to sail on the freighter Arenui 5 to the Marquesas Islands. Booking that part of the trip was easy. But all the rest: air travel, specific seats, changing air schedules, timing of arrival & departure, transfers, hotel in Tahiti? I could never have navigated that. Wendy did all that, and almost one year before we traveled. Flawlessly.<br/><br/>F
gary - Marquesas Islands ~ South Pacific
Hard to believe they could be a better travel agent than Wendy. The trip she helped design was top notch. When unexpected complications arose during the trip she worked to help us resolve it. She was fantastic!!!
Steve M - Italy ~ Europe
Wendy was great! She pulled together a wonderful trip to Paris that met everyone's needs. We had a wonderful time and cannot thank Wendy enough for all her help and her availability to answer all our questions!!
Tricia - Paris ~ France ~ Europe
We recently booked a cruise to Alaska and and used Solo to Group Travel. Wendy was very helpful, efficient and timely in all aspects. She was very knowledgeable about various cruise lines as well as the types of excursions that may have been of interest. Additionally she put together a thoroughly organized packet outlining our trip. I would use her again and appreciate the help, information and support she provided.
LB -
Wendy pulled together a terrific trip for myself and my daughter to the Russian Federation - a difficult work product, given tense relations with the US and Russian visa requirements for US citizens. Wendy had command of the logistics, and her efforts yielded a seamless trip for us, from flight arrangements and insurance against the visa not coming through, to hotel, transport, and private tour guides in the greater St. Petersburg area. Wendy was immediately responsive to all of my phone and email inquiries throughout the planning phase, offering thoughtful advice and follow-through. Her knowledge and good counsel went far to alleviate the stress of planning, and became particularly evident as the trip unfolded. Wendy's understanding of travel reaches across all of the dimensions of planning: from the big picture (she counseled planned events be balanced with flexibility and discretionary time) to the critical details that enable both. She was knowledgable, reliable and accessible, and I recommend Wendy without reservation.
Mary -
It was seamless. Everything was planned out really well.
MJ - Hawaii Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA. Tahiti
The trip was tremendous - In helping us plan, Wendy offered practical and aesthetic insight, and pulled all connections and accommodations together seamlessly.
MK - Hawaii ~ USA
Wendy was extremely helpful when planning our trip to Greece. We had parties arriving from multiple cities at different dates and she was able to coordinate with ease and made the planning of our trip effortless. When one party's connecting flight was delayed she notified other parties of the delay and had a back up plan in case flights were missed. Extremely impressed! All hotels, transfers and tours were exactly what we expected and then some! Thank you!
Ann J - Greece ~ Europe
For the past 9 years I have traveled to Nicaragua. For the past several years I have made my travel arrangements with Wendy. This year would have been my 10th year traveling to Nicaragua and Wendy made all the arrangements for 26 travelers. Unfortunately due to the political unrest and violence in Nicaragua I had to cancel my plans. Two summers ago I had to send my group home early due to illness. With every trip I book, Wendy has gone above and beyond handling our flights, rebooking, travel insurance, insurance claims and more. Wendy has done more than any other agent I know! If you are booking any type of travel, call Wendy - she will get it done and will go above and beyond to ensure everything goes smoothly and if you can’t go, as in my case this summer, she will assist you in all areas to rebook or get refunds.
Kksano - Nicaragua ~ Central America
Wendy planned a 2-night trip for my adult daughter and me to NYC. We had a great hotel on Central Park South which was a convenient location to lots of places: Central Park was across the street and great restaurants were a short distance away. She booked us fabulous tickets to Wicked and a great tour of the city which hit all of the highlights. <br/>Wendy is always so helpful and easy to work with. She has many suggestions and she knows our preferences and works with us to make our trips the best.<br/>She has been booking our trips for the past 4 years and we have had some fantastic ones! <br/>We are currently planning a yacht cruise from Rome, up the Dalmatian Coast (Montenegro and Croatia) to Venice. She sent us so many small cruises to choose from that I was not aware of. It was so hard to pick just one. I think we have our list of trips for the next few years!
Cathy - New York City ~ New York ~ USA
Wendy planned a customized driving trip around Sicily for husband and me in September 2014. It was marvelous! She planned everything from air, car rental, hotel (which were an event in themselves) activities, and excursions. To date it might be my favorite holiday yet! Not only was the country itself beautiful and unique, the activities suggested and / or booked by Wendy made the trip extraordinary. The fact that everything was prearranged, mapped out, check and rechecked made for effortless travel. We visited several UNESCO World Heritage Sites including one that we slept in. Every hotel was amazingly different and they added yet another unexpected pleasure, like opening a new present everyday. The only thing that I would change would be to double or triple the length of stay in the country. I will use Wendy for every trip from this point forward.
Ann -
We took a Caribbean cruise to celebrate a special birthday in spring 2014. We had a family of 16, and from start to finished Wendy was very patient and answered our many questions without fail. She arranged everything smoothly and gave us a wealth of knowledge about our trip. We loved that she was easy to reached even when she away at remote locations, and that we could count on her day and night for all our travel needs. She gave us a happy travelling send off before the trip and an immediate follow up afterward to see how our trip went. When I was undecided about our 2015 cruise vacation plans, Wendy with her expertise and based on what she knows we would like in a cruise vacation recommended we try NCL Breakaway out of New York to the Caribbean , plus following her advice at the time we got an awesome deal. The trip was an excellent choice. If you are looking for that personal touch and have your vacation customized to your needs, then give Wendy a try. I would highly recommend her.
Leona -
Wendy did an awesome job of planning all the details for our trek up the Inca Trail. Flights, Hotels and the Guide company all worked out very well. Especially the Guide company , G Adventures. I highly recommend them. The food, transportation and lodging they provided were all great. The guide, who spoke English very well, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Wendy gave us a lot of terrific information on what to bring, local customs and how to prepare for high altitude sickness and the arduous 26 mile Inca Trail trek. We were truly prepared for the trip and everyone did extremely well because of it. Thanks Wendy for helping make this a Trip of A Lifetime for all of us.
Bruce -
Wendy made everything with my trip very easy! She was continuously changing our plans for us without issue due to our budget. The whole process was all around painless and would recommend to anyone! Thank you Wendy!
Rob -
Wendy is a terrific agent who works hard for you and will make sure all your needs are met! She helped us set up a trip to England and France this year, booking hotels and transportation, as well as making several great suggestions for things to see and do. She has traveled to so many places herself that she always has thoughtful suggestions no matter where I want to go. She has helped organize many of my trips and knows the standard tourist itineraries as well as of the beaten path destinations. She has in-depth knowledge of several countries and can be counted on to make YOUR trip the best!

Working with Wendy was a real pleasure. We worked together to plan our family trip to visit friends in Shanghai. We had a small issue with our visas and the issue was corrected quickly to our satisfaction. Can't wait to plan our next big family trip.
Lisa - Shanghai ~ China ~ East and Southeast Asia
Wendy was absolutely amazing! She had great suggestions and made planning my wife and I's honeymoon a breeze. When the airlines lost our luggage with our trip information in it, Wendy was able to send everything electronically within minutes! She is very professional, friendly, and timely in her responses. Pretty much everything you could ask for in a travel agent - I will definitely use her the next time I plan a trip!
Nathan - Italy ~ Europe
Wendy planned my trip starting in Cairo with a 2 day tour of the pyramids, then a 3 night / 4 day cruise "up" the Nile River stopping at major cities touring famous temples of Egypt. I also visited a factory where they made oriental silk rugs, all by hand. My trip lasted for 9 days total. The 2 Egyptologist that were my personal guide; one from Cairo on the 2 day tour and the other from Luxor on the cruise were fantastic. They knew the history of acent Egypt and provided me with more information than I never knew. If your thinking of visiting Egypt, let Wendy plan it out for you, her recommendations and expertise were spot on and I would definitely visit Egypt again. If your asking if visiting Egypt safe, the answer is yes in my opinion. The people of Egypt were friendly and I never felt threatened and even enjoyed my after dinner walk alone in the streets of Cairo at night. Great country and lots of history. Thanks Wendy for making this trip a memorable one.

If you have ever doubted using a travel agent, don't. Wendy is helpful, knowledgeable and committed to providing outstanding service that goes above and beyond. For the past few years I have used her services to book airfare and travel insurance for my groups traveling to Nicaragua. We have never experienced any problems until this year when a student traveler contracted Dengue Fever. Wendy went to work immediately negogiating new flights home and working with the travel insurance company to ensure parents and travelers would not incur additional expenses. Throughout the day, as questions arose, Wendy was available to answer questions and make arrangements. Having someone as knowledgeable and organized was reassuring and put my mind at ease. If you have ever doubted buying travel insurance, don't. If you want to know you are in good hands, book your travel with Wendy! She will go above and beyond to ensure your trip is a success and she will go out of her way to help should a problem arise. I will be booking next year's summer trip to Nicaragua with Wendy.
KSano -
I had no knowledge of Peru and worked with Wendy to put together the travel plans to visit Maccu Picchu and some other areas. She covered best times of year to travel/pricing options, different off the beaten path places to visit, nailed the tour group we hiked Maccu Picchu with and overall recommended and brought up options/things we hadn't even thought of through the process.
Everything was taken care of so we got to enjoy the trip and not worry about the little things or get hit with any surprises! I will be booking all my future travel through Wendy and her team!
Dave -
Wendy was attentive and pro-active with the few issues we had with our group of 18 travelers (16 of whom were high school students). She walked us through the trickier aspects of the arrangements, contacted me throughout the process to be sure our passport and visa applications were filled out properly (China travel is different than other nations), and when we had a major snafu, was calm and collected and worked toward a resolution that was amenable to all. We will most definitely contact Wendy for future travel plans.
Kathy V - Shanghai ~ China ~ East and Southeast Asia
Wendy is a very experienced and savvy traveler. Her knowledge of airport procedures is very helpful. Wendy is very prompt with regards to returning phone calls or answering email questions. It was easy for us to rate Wendy a 5 on a 1 to 5 scale.
R and D - Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Wendy is the compleat professional who has the expertise to get any traveler anywhere in the world. <br/><br/>She helped me every step of the way with a complicated and rather complex travel situation and handled it beautifully with grace and pure dedication. She was available at every turn when I needed her and gave me great advice while planning my departure ensuring a great experience. She is always mindful of economics as she plans your travels and additionally, she has wonderful resources to draw from. In my case, I needed a Visa quickly before departure.<br/><br/>Wendy goes above and beyond normal expectations and cares greatly about her client's travels from the beginning to their return home.<br/><br/>I simply cannot say enough about her and how wonderful she is. I have another trip coming soon and will reach out to her because I know she will make this one seamless as well.

This was my first time using a travel agent, and after our incredible experience with Wendy, I'll never book another trip without her help. We wanted our Mexico vacation to be stress-free and that's exactly what we got. Wendy was extremely knowledgeable about the area and helped get us an INCREDIBLE deal at our resort (The Royal Playa del Carmen). She facilitated transports to and from the airport that were both prompt and friendly. When our flight arrived late in Cancun, we were nervous our ride might have already left, but Wendy was available by telephone and facilitated our meeting even from a different country! In fact, she was always accessible and happy to help whenever we had any questions whatsoever.
Wendy showed us plenty of excursion options and was eager to set any and all up for us, though she NEVER pushed us to book any. She wanted this trip to be just what WE wanted and took considerable care to make sure it was so. Because of that, we had the time of our lives!

In planning hotel and transport, Wendy offered thoughtful alternatives that she pieced together to create a comfortable and smooth travel experience.
MK - San Diego ~ California ~ USA
While looking online for Alaska trips, I found info about Solo to Group Travel and Wendy and contacted her even though I live in Florida and she is in NH. She immediately got in touch with me (on a Sunday) and started looking for something I would be interested in. She came up with 3 possible trips for me. Although still in the thinking phase, I am very impressed with her enthusiasm and quick response.
I would recommend her to anyone looking for personalized assistance and immediate service..
Daisymae -
She was always accessible and willing to go above and beyond when it came to both advising and booking. I felt the entire time like she was really interested in getting me the best deal as well as making the most of my time abroad. Absolutely no complaints, thank you so much Wendy!

This is the second time I have used Wendy for my tripping planning. She is a pleasure to work with and very knowledgable about all aspects of the travel industry. Wendy is always responsive when you call her. She will get back to you as soon as possible--usually within the hour.
I have worked with other travel agents before--but never as dependable as Wendy. I will continue to use her as my travel agent for all future trips. She helps make your trip a success .
pembrokegail -
All I can say is that Wendy made my cruise the best it could have been!!! The booking can be very stressful alone but she helped us with what we should do for room accommodations having teenagers and needing two rooms, to food and drink plans she knew what would be best for us and it certainly was. I had several questions and probably made her a bit crazy at times but she was always available and was able to answer any of our questions or concerns!! I would absolutely recommend Wendy to anyone and I will be using her again for my future travels!!

We were a family of five (parents plus five boys in their twenties) planning to take a vacation to Europe. We like to active things but we wanted to experience some culture too. And we didn't want a standard tour; we wanted help from a travel agent to build a framework of some planned activities and improvise from there.<br/><br/>Based on the above we came to Wendy with the idea of combining a trip to the Azores and Barcelona. Wendy spent a lot of time with us up front to make sure she understood our interests; in fact, her questions helped us clarify our interests! Then she did research and came back to us with ideas. She really scored on the accommodations; we stayed in two very different units that fit us perfectly. We booked the accommodations, transportation, and half the activities through her. This gave us the framework for the trip. Then we filled in the rest on our own. It worked out great.<br/><br/>Thanks to Wendy's help we had family vacation to remember!<br/><br/>
TJ Fontanella - Spain ~ Europe
Our trip out to California in May was the third time we'd used Wendy's services. She never disappoints; she is always quick to respond and book things on our behalf. She really takes a lot of stress out of planning a vacation and is very knowledgeable.
Meri -
After waiting twenty years to take a trip to Italy, we finally could make it happen, and most important, Wendy helped us make it happen. We met for a two hour coffee where we sat and discussed my needs and desires and from there with my budget, Wendy put it all together for us. Not a day that she planned for us was less than perfect; from the tours, to the hotels, to the cooking classes to the flights. Perfecto !!!
Thank you again Wendy !! Now, when can we go back!
Sharon -
This is the 4th trip Wendy has helped us plan and organize. This trip involves a river cruise starting in Budapest with a post cruise stay in Prague. I like how she gave us several options for hotels and pointed out the benefits of all so we could make a sound decision. Our travel plans will always include Wendy for her expertise cannot be matched!
KT -
Wendy arranged all the travel plans for our trip to Kruger Park and Cape Town. In addition to the bookings, she was able to provide many recommendations and guidance based on personal experiences. She is very well traveled and thus able to provide a much more personalized plan/itinerary for her clients. I will continue to utilize her expertise and would highly recommend her.
Ben -
I HIGHLY recommend Wendy as the best travel agent we ever worked with and we didn't even go on the trip to Greece this year due to COVID-19. So after booking flights, hotels and excursions, she graciously and calmly helped us through the cancellation process working to get us refunds for the trip. So although we cancelled the 2020 Greece trip, she helped us with our 1 month Italy trip last year which was an absolute blast!! We had a lot of odd details because we were visiting family in a remote town, and had our kids with us for part of the trip. She told us best out of the way places; best way to get here or there, and best places to see. She gave suggestions we had not thought of and they ended up being the most fun especially for our adult kids (i.e. making pizza together at a great restaurant!) She was incredibly accommodating and helpful! We will be planning our next trip with her. Thank you Wendy!
Lori - Italy ~ Europe
Wendy helped us book our stay in Mykonos, Greece for our Honeymoon. She found a beautiful spot for us that included everything we were looking for. Wendy is a very knowledgeable travel agent and we are looking forward to booking more vacations with her in the future!

Wendy did a wonderful job arranging our trip from hotel and excursion recommendations.
Looking forward to you planning our next adventure

After spending days figuring out plane flights to Rome (a friend had to fly a specific airline because of mileage), I looked for a travel agent and found Wendy! I will never forget the joy of looking over her quickly put together travel plan that worked perfectly and was a fantastic fare. Since then, she has helped with a Mediterranen cruise (DO have her book your cruise--there are perks!) and a trip to Alaska with my grandson. Basically, "I won't leave home without her"! She's smart and fun and an absolute delight to work with. Honestly, if you travel even just a tiny bit, she's a godsend. Everything is lined up for you and she takes away the stress of making travel plans....and she is just as great when plans need to be changed. Wendy has wonderful suggestions to add to your trip as well. I feel really secure when Wendy has booked things-which is great.

Wendy was a godsend when it came to planning our honeymoon. We were overwhelmed by the sheer number of options available for hotels and had no idea which ones would be good. We spent a lot of time on Trip Advisor and still couldn't pinpoint what we wanted. We contacted Wendy and told her what we were interested in. She gave us two options in our price range for each city we were visiting in Canada. Both places we stayed at were absolutely beautiful and within our price range. Our hotel in Quebec was a suite right in the heart of the city and our hotel in Montreal was downtown and even had a rain shower! Since our honeymoon, my parents have used her services numerous times and we're using her services again this summer to plan another trip. She definitely takes a lot of stress out of planning a vacation and is very knowledgeable about good things to see and do in the area you're visiting. I'm sure we will be utilizing her services for years to come!

My sister and I are celebrating our 65th birthday with a cruise to Alaska, something I've always wanted to do. Wendy immediately did the research, provided suggestions about the entire process - best time to go, best ship, cruise itinerary, room layouts, etc. Within a week we had our cruise booked! I was astonished at how quick and easy the booking process was and how responsive our travel agent was initially and continues to be! I have already recommended Wendy to a friend who is also planning a cruise in 2016!

I found Wendy on what used to be tripology a few months back and I told her about my crazy plans to see Italy in one week. I was so stressed out planning the trip but she took over and planned everything for me completely stress free. I explained to her we would like to join a few tour groups but we mostly like to explore and get lost on our own and she planned the tours that would get us most acquainted with the new cities, which helped us see all of the major sites. Everything was arranged and it was all such a breeze when we got there! We had an amazing time!

This is the second adventure that I had the pleasure of experiencing through Wendy's planning and once again, she put together a fabulous trip. Wendy's recommendations from hotels to excursions were fabulous and I am already thinking about Number 3! Thank you Wendy for your expertise and knowledge.

Wendy did a superb job organizing and planning what turned out to be possibly the best trip I have ever experienced. I traveled to Peru to hike the Inca trail to Machu Picchu and it would not have been the great experience it was without Wendy’s advise and knowledge about preparation and her handling of all the logistics. She really made it easy! I look forward to having Wendy help plan many more trips in the future!

We took our first ever cruise too Bermuda on Norwegian Dawn our anniversary 2014. Thankfully we had Wendy to help us plan it all out. The trip was so amazing, the boat was beautiful and the staff was so attentive. We love it so much we booked another one for this Fall 2015 to the Bahamas'. Wendy took all the stress out of planning a vacation from planning excursions to what bring and what not to bring on the boat. We were so relaxed knowing everything was taken care of and if we had a problem we knew we could count on Wendy if needed. I send all my friends and family to Wendy at Solo Travel

I was introduced to Wendy two years ago when she was helping my parents plan a cruise in Alaska. She was able to accommodate my husband and my last minute plans to join my parents. Since then, she has planned a European Sampler trip last year, a coastal California trip last spring and a river cruise up the Rhone with additional days in Barcelona and Paris last month. She has also helped my daughter plan her honeymoon and summer vacations. I have referred her to everyone I know who has talked about travel. Her knowledge and experience is vast and I love to hear about the adventures and trips she has taken. She has been there and done that so she speaks from personal experience. I have only spoken with her by phone but I feel that I know her well and, as we have shared personal stories and family histories, I am proud to call her a friend. She is always available and patient as my husband and I have taken our time in making decisions. I look forward to many more trips planned with Wendy!

My husband and I wanted a cruise in Europe but were undecided. I did some research online and finally, in frustration, called a cruise specialist and got Wendy. She was amazing. Almost could read our minds. She suggested a cruise out of Dover, England to the Norwegian fjiords. She saved us a lot of money with her suggestions and every part of the traveling went smoothly. We highly recommend her and have recommended her to many others. When my daughter was planning her honeymoon, Wendy made several money savings suggestions. Planning our 3d adventure with her help.
