Alaethea 's reviews
Alaethea rocks! After just one short convo, she totally nailed the vibe for my girls’ trip. She’s super communicative, and I felt completely comfortable reaching out to her for anything. When we had a last-minute addition to the group, she was on it and made the changes seamlessly. Seriously, book with her, you won’t regret it.

I loved working with Alaethea! I felt so confident in our trip knowing she had planned it. She carefully crafted our itinerary, and all of her recommendations were spot on. Everything ran so smoothly, and it was clear how much thought and care she put into making our experience unforgettable. She and McKenzie understand what makes a great travel experience, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! We won’t travel without La Lune!

Our Viking Cruise was fantastic. Having Alaethea Hankins for our travel agent made it exceptional! Our pre-cruise planning with her was so easy. She managed our requests and made them a reality. She also communicated with us throughout our 18 days trip and assisted with some mid cruise adjustments which turned out perfectly. Without exception, Alaethea and La Lune travel our experience and expectations would have fallen short. Highly and enthusiastically recommended her. We will utilize La Lune travel for all our future travel planning.

I'm the kind of traveler who gets overwhelmed when choosing a hotel- too many choices! Working with Alaethea at La Lune was a total game-changer. She quickly found the ideal spot for me and my partner, perfectly matching our style and budget. Her confidence gave me confidence and was instantly calming. It felt like she just 'got' what we wanted, and the best part?- no extra cost! Not only does it not cost extra for me, but it's supporting an amazing woman owned, small business. Seriously, this is the most stress-free way to plan a trip. I can't recommend her enough!
