Aly's reviews

Aly has to be the best travel agent I have ever experienced. She is consciousness and quick to respond, with suggestions and much better ideas than me. Her extensive overseas experience is truly an asset when proposing locations and hotel accommodations. I have already recommended her to several friends, and we are currently working on the next four large, international trips I have planned over the next 2 years. I will definitely be using her services for all my future travels.

Aly was able to find us a conveniently located hotel that was reasonably priced during peak season in South Lake Tahoe. I was originally looking at a different hotel that was more expensive and located farther out of town but Aly suggested this lodging and I'm pleased that she did.
