After our first meeting with Cassandra to discuss a trip to the UK, we knew she was the travel agent for us. She was knowledgable about the destination and listen to our desires for the holiday. She then planned for us a stress free wonderful vacation. From then one we have felt comfortable using her to book our vacations as she is very knowledgable in many areas and can provide you with ideas of where to go and what to see. It is also very nice that she contacts you when you get home to ask your opinion of your vacation. By doing this not only is she concerned about your needs but uses this information to ensure her future clients have great vacations as well. We would definitely recommend Cassandra to our friends and family.
