We wanted a trip to southern Italy, Paris and the French wine country. Ann did a wonderful job of asking questions and making recommendations based on the places we wanted to see and the timeline we were working with. We found Ann to be professional, courteous, and a great resource. We would recommend Ann for anyone interested in a wonderful trip.
The Wife is Happy - France ~ Europe
Ann is very knowledgeable when it comes to planning a vacation. She took care of every detail from flights, resort accommodations, airport transport, and excursions for us. We had the most amazing trip to Costa Rica! Every detail ran smoothly and we made memories to last a lifetime. Will use A Well-Traveled Suitcase for all our travel needs! We highly recommend for everyone when planning a vacation.
Laura - Costa Rica ~ Central America
My family (spouse, children, significant others) took a trip to celebrate my 60th birthday. Ann’s expertise made the planning and travel so easy. We had such a wonderful time! This was the first time we ever stayed at an all inclusive and the first time traveling outside of the US.

This was a trip of a lifetime for us. As we have never been on a river cruise before, Ann was extremely helpful in navigating this uncharted territory. She answered and addressed all of our concerns and put us at ease-even up to the last days before we left! Even aboard the boat she reached out to make sure that things were going smoothly. We highly recommend Ann to be your travel agent. She uses her own travel experiences to go above and beyond for her clients.
Koman - Prague | Czech Republic | Europe
Start to finish Ann had our trip on point. Beautiful scenery and excursions. She was also very knowledgeable and insightful about the areas we would be visiting. Already planning our next venture with her.
Finman6 - Budapest | Hungary | Europe
We worked with Ann to plan our honeymoon to three European cities and had an amazing experience! She created a custom itinerary that took our preferences into account and handled every detail, including booking our hotels and travel between cities. She even sent us tips and reminders each week leading up to our trip, which were super helpful to us as first-time international travelers. We'll forever cherish the memories we made on our honeymoon and look forward to many more trips in the future - and we'll most definitely be working with Ann again to plan our next one!
Iris and Alex - Germany ~ Europe
We had a wonderful time. From the very beginning Ann provided quick and reliable information. Every aspect of the adventure was meticulously planned. She provided valuable suggestions on how to complete the trip with no worries. Part of the experience that was so great was that we didn’t have to worry about anything. Ann had contingency plans for any eventuality. It was also comforting to know that a professional was tracking us and was ready to contact by phone or text. Since I did a great deal of traveling in my career I really appreciate the attention she paid to insure a flawless trip.
Tom & Gayla - Rhine River ~ On the River ~ At Sea
Every detail was addressed and every possible problem was anticipated and contingencies were in place, just in case. Ann’s attention to our specific needs enhanced our experience as we literally didn’t have to worry about anything except enjoying our trip. She was just an email, text, or phone call away. It was comforting knowing there was someone watching over us as we progressed through our travels. We can’t wait to do it again. I traveled extensively in my career and a big part of that challenge was coordinating bookings so I can really appreciate how well Ann managed our experience.

Fantastic
Jim - Amsterdam ~ Netherlands ~ Europe
Having a hectic job, I never feel like I have the time to really research options and plan vacations. Working with Ann means I can have a consultation and let her know what I want to do and then she does the rest - giving me options in my budget and finding activities I never knew existed. Then I can just show up and enjoy my trip. And if there are any hiccups along the way I have help. This trip was after having to cancel two previous for medical reasons and Ann pivoted each time - planning three different destinations.
TKU - Vancouver ~ British Columbia ~ Canada
Made great suggestions on our free days. Coordinated the “bucket list items” perfectly time-wise. Our short trip was perfectly coordinated and well thought out.
April - Iceland ~ Europe
Ann is awesome! She listens to your needs and works on giving you everything for an amazing travel experience! We received everything we asked for and more!
Shelley - Kauai Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Very thorough and responded quickly to our questions. We had eleven traveling on this trip. Everything was arranged ahead of time and worked out fantastic.
AAK - Hawaii ~ USA
I am bragging to everyone about what a phenomenal job Ann did! You really made it first class the entire time. From the hotels, to the excursions, then the private drivers… oh, and I can’t forget the beautiful gifts, and the thoughtful, champagne and wine to start off and finish our adventure… Five stars! This really was a dream trip.
Anne - Amalfi ~ Italy ~ Europe
Booking our trip through Ann made the trip so easy and amazing! We set our budget, and she pretty much did all the rest!!! From the moment we got off the airplane in Johannesburg, we were at ease knowing that somebody would meet us at the gate and take us through customs and passport control, get our bags and get us to our hotel! Thank you for zero anxiety about traveling to a distant land.... The trip itself was absolutely amazing, having all the transfers, and air travel preset, the tours pre-arranged, and the little extras that we found were left for us along the way made it a trip we will never forget! The hotels that Ann selected for us were all 5 Star and made us feel very much at home every stop we made. The private tours that she selected were exactly what we wanted to do, and were flexible with our time. Thank you Ann for creating a memory that will last a lifetime!!!
TimC - South Africa ~ Africa
Highly responsive, detail-oriented, customer satisfaction and positive experience are among Ann's approach to new customers.
MP - Cape Town ~ South Africa ~ Africa
Ann makes everything with your travel easy and stress free! Highly recommend!!
Kelsi - Costa Rica ~ Central America
Working with Ann was a pleasure. She helped us navigate all of the COVID-related obstacles and had a wealth of information and experience about the UK in general and especially Ireland.<br/><br/>Our trip needed several adjustments due to scheduling changes and COVID restrictions but Ann helped us immensely and handled all of the heavy lifting.<br/><br/>She even lent us some travel books to help us decide what sights we wanted to see while we were there.<br/><br/>Highly recommended!
Scott - Scotland ~ Europe
We have never traveled internationally before except for trips to Mexico. Ann walked us through the entire process and made everything so easy. We did a European Riverboat cruise that included Christmas markets along the Danube. Pre-cruise and post-cruise excursions plus the riverboat cruise itself were all fantastic. On top of everything, we had to navigate COVID and delayed the trip for 2 YEARS! Ann handled everything for us, sent us relevant articles and information and she made excellent recommendations to make our trip even more enjoyable. It was a great experience working with Ann and we will definitely do it again. The next time we travel, we will be contacting her.
Jim & Sue - Prague ~ Czech Republic ~ Europe
We just took at trip to Italy. This was our second trip we planned with Ann (and when I say "we"... she did all the planning). My husband and I both have full time jobs that keep us very busy with work travel so when we want to take a break, we definitely trust that Ann will set us up with some thing amazing. She makes it so simple to have a few preliminary calls to discuss destinations, dates and budgets and from there she proposes options and itineraries. I really appreciate that it feels like I didn't have to lift a finger to do any planning. And I'll mention that when on the trip it feels that much more special to have things scheduled and planned for you. In other experiences I have felt anxious or stressed because the planning has fallen to me and I don't get to have the same experiences as others. Ann makes sure the trip and all the little details are perfect. I can't rave enough. Any international trip we take in the future will be planned with Ann.

Greg & Roberta - Alaska ~ USA
We worked with Ann Nelson at A Well-Traveled Suitcase for our recent Southwestern vacation, and we could not have been more pleased! Ann worked to understand our needs and budget before booking anything. She then gave us options based on those and was always willing to add or change things as needed. She arranged beautiful and unique hotels for us in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Winslow, Grand Canyon, and Sedona. She also recommended restaurants and stops along the way. We booked some activities and restaurants on our own as well, and she was quick to add those to our master travel itinerary. The entire trip could not have gone more smoothly. I highly recommend Ann at A Well-Traveled Suitcase for any of your travel needs!
Lee - New Mexico ~ USA
Ann was terrific! She really helped us with a solid, well organized and thoughtful plan for our recent trip to Germany and Amsterdam. Every detail went smoothly. We are so grateful for her expertise, wisdom and sense of humor!
Billy and Maureen - Rhine River ~ On the River ~ At Sea
Ann worked with my husband to plan a 25th anniversary trip to Italy and France. She was exceptional and really helped him put together a very special and personalized trip! She even checked in us during our trip to see if all was going well or if we needed anything.

Ann, thank you for finding the perfect trip for us.<br/>This was a beautiful experience that we will never forget, you will always plan our vacation. Thank you for all your help.

Ann is knowledgeable, listens, communicates, and makes everything easy. We had a great trip to Hawaii and it involved zero worries or stress or planning on our part.
Linda Vecchie - Hawaii ~ USA

All thanks to you, Globus tours, and our tour guide Nicolas for another wonderful and memorable vacation. By booking with you we know everything goes as planned and stress free. Can’t wait to book our next vacation with you. You recommendations are priceless.
