My Reviews
I finally decided to stop making excuses and just go to Greece, whether or not I could find a travel buddy. Sally really helped ease my anxieties and fears about taking such a big trip alone, and after all that, once she heard about my awesome trip itinerary, my friend wanted to join me. We had the best time in Athens and the island hopping was other level awesome! Sally's hotel suggestions were on point, and the ferry tutorial was so helpful. I recommend Sally to anyone looking for the best travel agent!

We had been wanting to explore Rome and the surrounding cities in Italy, but were feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the logistics. Sally swooped in and saved our trip! She was able to advise and suggest the most conveniently located hotels, as well as connect us with some really spectacular tours. Other than the excessive heatwave that was taking place while we were there, we loved our Rome vacation so much and can't wait to go back and explore more of Italy. Thanks so much for all your dedicated efforts, Sally!

We could have never planned our trip as well as Sally did! And she added some really fun surprises in as well. From the moment I first spoke with Sally and heard her enthusiasm for Portugal, I knew we had made the right choice in Travel Advisors. My girlfriend and I got to enjoy a totally stress-free vacation to Portugal, thanks to Sally's expert planning skills. From our flights to the hotels, we loved it all. Thank you, Sally!

Senior Travel at Its Best!
We are a 70+ couple and had been reading so much about Estonia, that we finally decided to look into it. Sally was so thoughtful and patient as we worked through all the options for traveling in this part of the world, keeping in mind that we are not young people. She looked after every detail, including securing a wheelchair for my wife at the airports. The hotels were all very accessible and accommodating to our mobility issues. Everyone was so kind and we loved all of our tours. We were absolutely thrilled with our visit to Tallinn and we owe it all to Sally. Thank you!
