Galapagos vacation expert
A vacation to the Galapagos Islands is on many bucket lists, but there is a lot to consider when planning it. As a trained travel agent with connections in the destination, and having also visited the destination myself, I help my clients make a trip to the Galapagos perfect for YOU. It might be a cruise with a mainstream cruise line. Celebrity Flora is a favorite as is Silversea. But for you, it might be a luxury small cruise. It might be a more rugged expedition type cruise or maybe a private charter. It could also be a land based tour, with day trips to the islands via boat. I have vetted industry contacts to meet all of these needs. Many of my clients who visit the Galapagos also wish to extend their trips and venture into the Amazon, or the many interesting areas near the UNESCO city of Quito like the Cloud forest or Cotapaxi Mounain, or Peru. I can help put all of these pieces together making planning and the trip itself less stressful and less subject to pitfalls. This is one of those really special sorts of vacations that deserves careful consideration and planning, and I am here to help you with all of it.

Wonderful Agent
We booked our European vacation, including a river cruise and an additional week in Germany, with Diane over 1 year ago. Who knew Covid would still be so prevalent in our lives. We are in the process of rebooking and she could not be more accommodating. Diane has been there every step of the way, keeping us informed and giving us options. She has been so patient and helpful with our questions, and concerns. Diane is amazing at what she does. She truly cares about her clients. I would highly recommend her for any type of vacation plans you are considering. She is very knowledgeable and well traveled.

Trip of a lifetime!
We contacted Diane earlier this year to begin our travel plans to Italy. Diane was not only super responsive and friendly but she was also very knowledgeable in the cities we were considering in Italy. She travels frequently to several destinations each year. I think this is a huge advantage when she makes recommendations on travel plans, excursions and hotels. <br/><br/>We gave Diane tentative dates and cities and she was able to quickly put together several options. Everything was handled with exceptional attention to detail.<br/><br/>Our vacation was absolutely perfect. Every hotel check-in, train ride, flight, car service, and excursion went perfectly! Her list of preferred vendors and hotels can not be beat. <br/><br/>We absolutely recommend Diane's services to any one looking for the ultimate vacation experience.

The best trip of our lives!
Diane planned our first trip to Spain and we couldn't have done it without her. She was detailed, quick, and answered every question I had. She planned our whole trip, which included transportation to/from airport, train rides, hotels, and excursions. Diane was fantastic and I highly recommend her.

Above-and-beyond every step of the way
I have known Diane for over 30 years and she is one of the most elegant people I know. So, luxury travel is right up her alley. However, I put our friendship to the test and asked her to find me a "City Slickers" style cattle drive. And she did not disappoint! I am just back from my week on the range and am a better person for it. Not only did she ply her network to find the best outfitter, but she made the initial contacts and set me up with top-shelf travel insurance. 'Cause you never know what's going to happen out there. Upon my return, I thought I left my iPad in airport security and Diane committed to help me out (and I quote) "I will do whatever it takes to make it right for you on my end". She is truly the best of the best, don't think twice about contacting her.

Customized Greek Islands Vacation had it all
As we started to investigate our much anticipated trip to Greece, we realized how many different islands/locations there are to visit and all the logistics. Diane was able to provide expertise to us on the best islands, and historic and beach destinations that matched our interests. She was also knowledgeable with the best ground, air, and ferry options to easily get from one location to the next.She took care of all the details for us so we could just relax and enjoy our vacation. She also found us some special hotels where we were warmly welcomed. Her private guides were all excellent and catered the touring perfectly for our interests. We saw the true value of a customized trip that allowed us to see historic sites, guided walking tours, enjoy beach time, and a fantastic catamaran sunset dinner cruise. Next time we are going to try a few days on a private yacht and maybe even a villa with the family! The entire trip exceeded my expectations and we will use Diane's services again

Can't wait to replan this vacation with Diane
I can without any hesitation completely and highly recommend Diane Frisch Destinations. We worked together over a full year planning the most wonderful France/Italy trip and then Covid-19 hit. She spent weeks un-planning my trip and making sure that I was properly refunded all the money I had paid. I think that showed me more about her level of customer service than I had already learned from the planning of the trip. Diane is a complete professional and will be with you every step of the way. Even in the middle of a pandemic, she had me top of mind. You won't go wrong utilizing her services to plan your next trip! I can't wait to re-plan my trip with Diane!

A wonderful time in Santa Fe
I knew I could trust Diane to plan a romantic and memorable trip to Santa Fe! Diane is a highly experienced traveler and trip planner. She selected a hotel with top notch services, delicious food, and in an excellent location for seeing all the sights. Santa Fe is famous for its art, and Diane knew exactly where to go to see it. Diane had been to the city and even knew where to catch the amazing Santa Fe sunset!

Great Honeymoon
Thank you for helping us sort through all of the ins and outs of our honeymoon in Europe. There was so much to plan and you helped make it easier for us, and were there when things did not always work out... like when all the taxi drivers went on strike in Rome and we needed to get to the airport! You found a private driver at the last minute and it allowed us to relax and continue enjoying our honeymoon.

Hawaii Group Birthday Celebration
I met Diane when I was working as a travel advisor. I knew she was top-notch then, but now, as a client, I truly know! We had a family trip to Hawaii for my husband's 60th birthday, and although I could have coordinated the whole thing, I didn't want to be responsible for everyone's itineraries because I wanted to enjoy MY vacation! Best possible choice to have Diane coordinate. She is very communicative and was extremely patient as things changed due to COVID or if we had questions or changes. When everyone's inter-island flights were canceled, it was such a relief to make "one call to solve it all" and from the beach no less. Everyone thought I was the rock star for making that call! It was a fabulous trip for everyone and I would highly recommend using Diane for future travels.

Disney First-Timers!!
We were totally overwhelmed to attempt planning a Disney World vacation, especially since we wanted to go during Spring Break (high travel week) and it was only 4 months away. Diane tackled the challenge with grace and tenacity! She got us hotel reservations right away and dining placeholders which we continued to improve upon. She made recommendations for Fast Passes and had us ready to make the reservations at the appropriate time. Quite simply, she took the research and guesswork off my plate! We had a wonderful time and would definitely use Diane to plan our next travel adventure.

Wonderful family trip to Turks
Diane planned a wonderful trip for us to The Shore Club on Long Bay Beach in Turks and Caicos. She was very knowledgeable about the options available to us in Turks and had first hand experience of the island and the resort. Diane made booking all of the arrangements extremely easy. She kept us abreast of any travel requirements. Her contacts with the concierge made booking restaurant reservations, excursions and spa appointments very easy. And we were greeted with a fresh fruit display and anniversary upon our arrival to our beautiful oceanfront suite. We loved our trip and would highly recommend Diane to anyone to travel anywhere!

Diane is great to work with
Diane Frisch is a wonderful travel advisor. She is quick to respond and give details and options when needed both during the planning phase and the trip itself. We threw many challenges her way and she never flinched. Always positive and able to work magic at times. She even resolved an expired travel insurance credit (purchased with another agent, now out of business) that was long forgotten during the year of the shut down. We were very pleased with the trip and are ready to plan the next adventure with Diane's help.

She is quick with responding to questions, and her prices are incredibly reasonable. She is upfront about any challenges we might have regarding travel during COVID, instead of waiting till the last minute for an unpleasant complication..

Amazing Trip to Europe
Our trip to Europe will be the most memorable one! It was a VIP Service from being picked up at the airport to the stays at the luxurious hotels !<br/>Everything you arranged went according to the plan. We were so happy with the service and our experience. All information provided and updates of any changes were prompt. Reminders for everything were sent, which was much appreciated.

Magical Winter River Cruise!
Diane was a huge help in planning my solo river cruise over the winter holiday. She had lots of great insight and advice about river cruising which helped immensely. She connected with the crew and ensured they took amazing care of me, she really had every detail planned out and taken care of and even jumped in when my flights got moved around! Thanks, Diane!

Our Italy Trip!
We had a great experience with Diane. We are not frequent travelers (although that may change!) so the thought of coordinating this trip was overwhelming, But, from planes to trains to water taxis to private cars Diane had us covered, all we had to do was show up! We also requested smaller boutique hotels in each city, which she delivered. Thanks Diane!

Our travels far exceeded our expectations !
We chose to book our travels to Spain with Diane based upon her initial enthusiasm and willingness to customize a package of flights, tours, tennis tournament, and upgraded accomodations; all of this and at the same time working with my wife's mobility restrictions. This trip was a 2 year belated celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary and my promise to make it happen; despite the ever present COVID Pandemic threat. Diane worked her magic and put together a very memorable 9 day tour of the Barcelona area and the Island of Mallorca. The only time our itinerary was disrupted was on the Saturday of the Barcelona Open Tennis Tournament where we were treated to a Texas level hail and rain storm; no tornado though. The tour guides were always early, friendly, spoke English, and were very informative about their particular tour. <br/>Diane did a great job of delivering memories that we can share and treasure a long time.

The best travel planner you can find!
Diane has been absolutely wonderful in helping my husband and me with a planned trip to Italy for our large family group. Diane is highly professional, up to the minute informed on all travel issues, and has traveled extensively and knows the ins and outs of so many destinations. She is extremely responsive and helpful with any and all questions that we have had. She helped us purchase travel insurance, suggested Villas for us to rent, and will, when we do eventually go, assist us with planning some extras. Diane's personality, professionalism and expertise in the travel industry are unsurpassed. I don't think that there is a better travel executive out there! Diane is the top of her tier in the industry, and is highly recommended!

Honeymoon planning made easy!
Diane Frisch made planning our honeymoon so much easier. She helped us sort through all the options for cruises and explained the differences between the cruise lines, and cabin types. She also helped to find us the best possible price and an extra credit for onboard spending! On top of that she booked a car to pick us up at the airport, a really nice hotel for the night before the cruise, and some excursions that the cruise line didn't offer. And when the cruise line ran a sale, she was able to bring down the price even lower for us. It was nice with all of the wedding things going on to not need to worry about this. I definitely recommend working with Diane!

Above and Beyond Service!
I had looked for years to find a great travel agent. Diane Frisch came highly recommended to me, so I called her. From the beginning to the end of the planning process, Diane was impeccable! She paid attention to every single detail and walked us through avoiding the typical "travel mistakes" one can make when trying to book without a professional. After all the planning was in place, every last detail, Covid 19 started. Once we realized that travel would not be safe since I was with my in-laws, Diane went to work again! She worked diligently to attain a full refund for us, given our circumstances. Communicating constantly to reassure us she was doing everything humanly possible. Even though we never went on our planned trip, it speaks volumes to her professionalism and character the she went to such lengths to help us cancel one! Diane was invaluable!!! We can't imagine finding a travel agent that would be more caring or knowledgeable than her! She's amazing!

Luxury African Travel Done Right!
Diane’s expertise in setting up an African luxury safari is unparalleled. She worked with us and meticulously planned an itinerary that covered 2 safaris in South Africa and Botswana, visit to Victory Falls, sights in Cape Town and Johannesburg, and finished with wine tasting in the Cape Winelands. Diane arranged seamless transportation between countries and managed all on-ground transfers, including private drivers and airport meet and greets, making the logistics effortless and eliminating our worries. <br/>Diane arranged 5-star hotels & lodges and booked expert local guides to maximize our experience. We were especially impressed with the safari lodges. The suppliers she selected provided comprehensive support and turned our adventure into an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend Diane for anyone looking to explore Africa in style and comfort.

Flawless European Vacation
Diane is amazing! I was trying to plan the trip of a lifetime for my husband's 60th birthday and didn't know where to start. I heard about Diane and reached out. She met with me several times and helped me with every step of our trip from chosing the perfect cruise to the layout of international airports. No question went unanswered and with her expertise, the trip was flawless. I have to add that this was my first trip to Europe and I had a lot of questions. Thank you!

Diane was incredibly helpful and worked extremely quickly to help us plan our honeymoon. We came to her on short notice and with multiple requests, and she not only accomplished everything that we wanted but also used her experience and knowledge to help guide us to great opportunities that we weren't aware of. She was invaluable in every part of the process from the earliest planning through the smallest final details. Our honeymoon was everything we could have asked for, and we couldn't have done it without her!

Diane was a pleasure to work with. Answered all our questions within a timely manner. Very pleased with the beautiful hotel she booked for us in Basal Switzerland. Our first River cruise was amazing and looking forward to our next. I think we are spoiled from ocean cruising. Hopefully Diane can get us booked for the William & Chris River cruise next November on the Duro in Portugal.

We were stressed about planning a trip in another country, especially when we were going to be traveling between so many cities, but Diane made the process so simple and enjoyable. We cannot recommend Diane enough!

It was a pleasure working and planning our trip with Diane.<br/>We were last minute requesting a trip. Diane spent time discussing our “bucket list”. She gave us great direction and options for our early fall vacation. We were well informed with travel details prior to flying, day of travel, and everyday we were with AmaWaterways. It was reassuring to have Diane just a phone call away. The AMA crew were top notch. Every member was so professional and friendly. We were in the best hands with Diane and AMA!

Lovely Lake Como Experience
Wanting a special place on Lake Como to celebrate our 60th birthday with family we reached out to Diane, who came back with several properties for us to consider. We'd actually seen Villa Leoni on other rental platforms, but with different names, availability, and pricing. For peace of mind, we booked through Diane. Throughout the process, she was extremely responsive and thorough, even negotiating heating of our villa's pool. When we arrived and found the pool was not heated, we asked the concierge to turn it on. She said that would cost extra. I pointed to our contract & the heater was promptly turned on at no additional cost! The concierge said that contract language was highly unusual! The villa was just lovely, convenient to Lake Como attractions, with amazing views. Diane arranged a private chef for 2 nights and a 6-hour boat tour on Lake Como. Our guide/captain was charming and informative & that day was a definite highlight of our trip!<br/>

Thank you for planning our most effort-less and wonderful vacation ever! We loved how you took care of us from the moment we started planning until we came back home. You had your people there to greet us in the Airport and ease our way through Passport control and that was a fantastic way to start this vacation! Every bit of ground transportation was pre-arranged and that also made this trip seamless. The private guides were able to show us everything that we knew we wanted to see, but what is more, they got to know us and ended up showing us things we did not even realize existed and that we absolutely LOVED. The hotels were perfectly located, just as we wanted, and the extra surprises you left for us were much appreciated. Thank you!

The Trip of a Lifetime Thanks to Diane!
Diane planned, unplanned and re-planned this trip for us over a 2 year period due to Covid. To say she is excellent is an understatement. She worked just as hard to make sure we got all of our money back when we had to cancel due to Covid as she did booking the trip. We are two novice world travelers and we didn't even know what we wanted. Diane knows how to ask the right questions, offer the right suggestions and she helped us plan the trip of lifetime. She is very detail oriented which is a huge plus. She will plan the trip YOU want and you will be very happy. We highly recommend Diane to everyone we know!

Most Relaxing Trip of Our Lives!
Working with Diane was by the far the BEST decision my husband and I made! Diane genuinely cares about her clients. She made the planning process too easy to be true! She planned our honeymoon exactly as we hoped and within the budget we had. Planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic, while working full time was stressful to say the least. But planning our honeymoon with Diane was the smoothest, most stress-free event of it all. Diane had it all planned and packaged with a full itinerary sent to us, without us ever having to lift a finger. It was such a weight off our shoulders and let us genuinely enjoy our vacation. Not only that, but Diane kept on top of all paperwork, flight & transportation information, covid requirements across both countries (Mexico & USA) and was continuously in touch with us. She knows a ton about resorts/ hotels, diverse travel locations and activities. We highly recommended her expertise and kindness when planning your next vacation!!

You were so diligent booking, getting all the information for our stay, and getting information on cancelations, spa treatments and tee times. When we ran into an issue, you reached out, make calls and helped us immensely, and it resulted in us getting exactly what we wanted, and the one day of trouble was deducted from our bill. Thank you again. You dot every "i" and cross every "t" and were there for us, and we love you and recommend you.<br/>

Perfect family cruise to Alaska
Diane found us the perfect Alaska Cruise for our family. We had no idea there were so many choices. She explained clearly the differences between itineraries, cruise lines, and cabin selection, so that we found our perfect match for this spectacular vacation. She also advised us on excursions available through the cruise line, and even found us some through another great company. On top of guiding us through this whole process she also found us the best value out there, with a bonus onboard Credit to boot! She helped make this our best family vacation to date, and we can not wait to go on the African Safari that she is now planning for us!

Fantastic 24 Day European Adventure
This was the longest trip we had ever taken - 24 days in Europe starting in Amsterdam & ending in Rome. Having worked with Diane before, I knew she would help us get this planned. We started with a river cruise on Rhine with Tauck that started in Amsterdam & ended in Milan. We coupled this with Tauck tour that included Venice, Florence, & Rome. There was a time gap between the 2 tours that we filled with a visit to the Dolomites. Diane & her team were instrumental in getting our Tauck reservations in place along with coordination for pickups along the way. We have already scheduled our next trip through Diane and will continue to do so.

We wanted to visit Italy but didn't know where to start. Diane recommended the Tauck tour of Venice, Florence and Rome and it was perfect. Small group, lovely hotels, delicious food and wonderful people. Tauck made everything so easy and smooth - no thinking required after we got on our plane - they took care of everything and did everything first class. Thanks Diane for finding this tour for us!

Great river cruise on the Danube
I'm in a group of college friends that has stayed close for 40+ years, and Diane helped us book a trip together on Ama Waterways on the Danube. We started in Vilshofen Germany and finished in Budapest! Each day was a different exprerience in a different city or town and the trip was delightful. It was a wonderful way to see a lot of different places in the course of a week, with good tours in each location. Diane was able to give great advice on pre- and post- excursions, where to stay in the days/nights before flying to and from Europe, and was able to give first-hand accounts of what to expect and how to maximize the fun! Diane took great care of us and coordinated everything for us.

Diane Frisch Destinations knocked it out of the park for us again. We have worked with Diane before and can say that she goes above and beyond. Our trip to Paris and Normandy on Uniworld cruise lines was fabulous. The excursion to Mont St Michel was unforgettable as well as the trip to the Normandy beaches. Our stay in Paris before at Hotel Edouard 7 was perfect for location and comfort. Diane made all the plans including transfer and all we had to do was enjoy! I honestly can’t say enough about how helpful Diane is for us!!

Most Incredible Anniversary Trip to Switzerland!
From the moment we first contacted Diane, she was so responsive and helpful. She quickly set time with us to get an understanding of what we were looking for, and with a few high level ideas, she ended up generating an itinerary for us that blew our expectations out of the water. We made a few minor tweaks and she was so patient and helpful in finding the right options for us - and sent us several reminders leading up to the trip, including what adapter she recommended for power outlets, and ways to make our arrival back in the states super fast despite not having Global Entry. She truly went above and beyond, and I can honestly say the trip we took was absolutely incredible and I wouldn't change a thing. Every private tour, car arranged, hotel recommended was utter perfection. We'll reach out to Diane for every future trip we need help planning, and won't hesitate to recommend her to our friends, family and whoever reads this review. You won't regret reaching out to her!

Diane planned our bucket list, family trip to Ireland and it was fantastic. She asked what we were hoping to experience and accomplish on the 1 week trip and then crafted an outstanding itinerary. The amount of time we spent in each city, hotel accommodations and selections were perfect! Thank you Diane for creating a wonderful trip for us!

You are amazing and your Italy knowledge and conta
I'm sorry it took me his long to tell you how wonderful our trip to Italy was.....thank you, thank you, thank you......
From start to finish our transfers were seamless and reliable. The hotels were both beautiful with outstanding service (an upgrade to an apartment style room in Milan and the rooms in Venice just beautiful). Other than the canceled tour and the close quarters on the plane (I will need to rethink our seating next time but the price was right.!) Everything was perfect! I could definitely stay in Venice for longer but I will say I appreciated the different neighborhoods that we explored in Milan. And the food,everywhere, amazing.
Thank you for all your assistance in planning this getaway. You are amazing and your knowledge and contacts in Italy are solid.
Cheers!

Awesome trip to Italy for large family of six!
Working with Diane was fantastic at every step of trip planning for our family vacation to Italy. I came to her needing last minute help with the logistics and she was able to provide specific advice and choices for hotels, transfers and specific touring plans. Diane's contacts are numerous and she is able to quickly adapt on the fly given our changing itinerary. We will absolutely use Diane again for future trips.

Once again Diane has hit it out of the park. She assisted us with booking a tour of SE Asia and found the perfect place to recover from the challenging trip afterward in Phuket. We didn't need to reach out to her for help mid-trip this time but, she has always resolved any issues we have had in the past. It gives us peace of mind when we are traveling to have Diane in our pocket.

Diane's Attention to detail is phenomenal
My husband and I just returned from a once-in-a lifetime, bucket list trip to Europe arranged by Diane Frisch Destinations. We traveled six countries by plane, train, automobile and ship! Diane’s attention to detail was phenomenal. She updated us constantly and checked in to be certain everything was going smoothly. She obtained extra perks for us in hotels and on the ship. On excursions that we booked ourselves Diane gave us tips on what to see and where to stay and eat. Diane is always available (which is important when your time zone is different). You ask, why do I need a travel advisor when I can book over the internet? If you want impeccable attention to detail and a perfect trip without hassle, consult Diane.

Fantastic Paris and London trip for family of 10
Diane- I wanted to let you know we all had a great time. I am sure glad we used a true professional travel agent. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>I know this was a complicated trip with a lot of people and a lot moving parts. Everyone really enjoyed it.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>The one bad transfer you got us a full refund on in less than 24 hours—WOW. You also got us a reduced rate on the lack of pick up at the hotel in London—I did not expect that. The guides and transfers were all great except the one you got us a refund on.<br/> <br/><br/>I wish my airline people were as good as you-- we all got home—but I am still waiting on some refunds on canceled flights from 60 days ago and several other issues. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>The VRBO we rented on our own was good—but it was little warm and it had no AC--- <br/><br/>I also wanted to tell you how great the travel app AXUS was for our itineraries-- It was a huge help! Thanks for setting us up with that. <br/><br/>Thank you for all you did for us!

25th Anniversary Spectacular
I was very pleased to have Diane coordinate our 8-day 25th Anniversary trip to Paris. Early on, Diane took the time to understand our needs and interests. She arranged airport transportation that comfortably fit our large group of 8 travelers ranging in ages from 11 to 83. She provided tour ideas that were spot-on and within our budget. When hiccups arose Diane communicated in a timely manner and worked to determine solutions that were agreeable. While in Paris we were extremely satisfied by our private tour guide, Gigi. He was very knowledgable about Parisian history and art and also was very personable. My family loved our trip! I highly recommend Diane!

We used Diane Frisch Destinations to help us plan honeymoon in Europe. Working with an expert made the experience so much easier! When we hit unforeseen bumps in the road (like canceled tours or a major taxi strike in Rome) Diane was available to help us and make adjustments to our plans. Because she was handling the logistics we were able to carry on and enjoy our time in Europe without stressing. She was also able to recommend some amazing experiences we may not have thought of on our own. If you're considering European travel I highly recommend working with this agent! <br/><br/>

Diane is very knowledgeable, thorough, and responsive with respect to helping clients plan a special, unique travel experience. She is very connected to various high quality service providers in the travel industry, and is able to provide tailored, on point recommendations once she understands your travel preferences and expectations. We literally started with a blank sheet of paper in terms of where to go and what to do, and Diane provided valuable insights and options every step of the way from our first exploratory discussion with her to very granular details about our Galapagos trip itself. We had an outstanding and very positive experience working with Diane.

Worked all her connections for us!
Diane helped us plan our perfect European honeymoon. She put together all of the pieces into a perfect itinerary. We had time in a great hotel in Barcelona and day trips, a Flamenco show and Tapas touring. Then we had a Med cruise with excursions, then some time in Rome, with guided tours and cooking classes, a flight to Paris, a day trip with bike riding on the grounds of Versailles, a moonlit boatride on the Seine and a fun finish at Disneyland Paris. Diane arranged all of this for us, and then, when covid hit, she helped us find a way to cancel every part of this without losing ANY money. Now she is helping us plan a new trip for next year all over again. Her connections and experience have made all of the difference for us, and I can not recommend her more highly!

Best Trip Ever!
Diane is quick to respond, so kind, and extremely knowledgeable! In January the US established a policy that required all international inbound passengers to show proof of a negative covid test to return to the states. While my husband and I are both vaccinated, we really did not want to deal with this during our honeymoon. We reached out to Diane who helped us find a great alternative honeymoon location within the US and she set us up with an amazing resort with only a short 2 month notice. She also made sure to add nice touches to our stay which made us feel so special and pampered. Our honeymoon would not have been nearly as perfect had we not used Dianes help. We raved about her so much that now my sister has reached out for help with her honeymoon! I cannot recommend Diane more and we will only use her services moving forward. Thank you for an amazing trip to the Southwest! It was one of the best trips we have ever been on!

This is a new way of travel for us, and we will be sure to come back.

Italy Trip Made Easy
Diane has gone above and beyond my expectations. My husband and I planned our anniversary trip to Italy with Diane. Since this was our first overseas trip, I was overwhelmed with information before I found Diane. She made the planning easy and gave many several options. She really listened to what I wanted and made it become a reality. She pays close attention to detail and I am so appreciative of her travel expertise. The entire process was smooth and I can't wait to call her again for our next trip.

Three Generations of Girls Trip
It was just about a year ago when I began planning a trip for my daughters graduation as well as a celebration for my mothers 90th birthday. Thinking that a cruise might engage the three different interests of the travelers...I had no idea how to proceed with planning this getaway.<br/>A single phone call to Diane Frisch got the wheels in motion. From start to the finish of planning our cruise, Diane was a wealth of information regarding all facets of cruising. It was the best decision I ever made using a travel agent as reservations could not have gone easier. Up to the day of our trip,<br/>Most would think that is where a travel agents involvement ends; however, when we had an issue with the cruise line on the day of our departure due to an error on the part of the cruise line, one text message to Diane resolved a matter that three visits to Client Services aboard the ship did nothing.<br/>In the words of a crew member “ You must have an excellent travel agent” and yes we did!<br/>Thank you
