She makes you feel like you have a supportive planning friend rather than a typical travel agent. Jen helped us plan our anniversary getaway and everything was seamless! She's incredibly attentive, communicative, and always finds the best deals. We're already looking forward to booking our next trip with her!

She brought peace to my mind and me and my family had the best time ever in Hawaii for my daughter's graduation celebration. We flew down to Waikiki and spent five days there. She set us up with such detailed planning and we had so much fun. Zero stress. Which is unheard of for me lol. I would recommend her for all your travel needs like literally everything she's a godsend!

Rachel was WONDERFUL to work with. My husband & I changed our honeymoon plans last-minute and we…read morewere scrambling to find a new destination. I hadn't ever used a travel agent before, so I quickly jumped online to find a reliable one. Rachel was so attentive, detail-oriented, and extremely helpful. We chose Costa Rica and were able to still use the plane tickets we originally bought (just changed the location!). I had 1,000 questions since it was my first time booking through an agent, and she never once made me feel like an inconvenience or ignorant. She responded promptly to my emails, and even responded on the weekend! I can't say enough great things about her. We look forward to booking future vacations through VIP and definitely will be asking for Rachel again :)

It is a huge plus that our travel agent has a lot of insight on what to expect and quality of location. When our vacation ends, my family feels like the trip was worth every penny. I highly recommend Vacations in Paradise to any person or family looking for a great getaway. The knowledge and work the travel agent does, take a whole bunch of stress and uncertainty away.

She was excellent in handling all the airfare, cruise staterooms, handicap/ADA assistance for my mom and all airport/cruise/hotel private transfers! Everything she did went flawlessly! There were a few unforeseen/unplanned issues at airport transfers/handicap issues but I'd hire Diana to put correct and she would! If you ever want an excellent travel agent Diana is the one! Bit of background on me- I met Diana and her husband on a recent cruise and exchanged info just in case but usually I book cruises myself (this is the 30th) and Mom wanted a heavy Adratic cruise and I wasn't finding much.. I remember Diana and reached out to her- she found several options in a day and followed through given all my requests. Diana follows through and is always super attentive and delivers!

After this meeting, Diana gave us 3 trip options. We chose one of these options.

Since that vacation we will always use Cruise Holidays for our Cruise vacations going forward. Larry in Austin, Tx

We had such an amazing time on Lake Travis thanks to Willo and Float On. Everything about the…read moreexperience was extremely streamlined from booking to filling out waivers to navigating to the marina. Willo gave superb instructions on operating and piloting the boat including an overview of relevant customs and laws while out on the water. Our group had six adults and one 2-year old and they had plenty of water safety devices for all ages. On a side note, it was wonderful to see how genuinely excited Willo was about Lake Travis once again having a healthy water level after several dry years. In terms of our experience on the lake, we got excellent advice on where to travel based on our team's interests and after following his directions it felt like we had arrived on our own private lake. We probably only saw a handful of other boats during our 3-hour excursion and that was only in passing. The boat came with a Garmin GPS that made it really easy to retrace our steps. For those wondering, there was excellent cell phone service out on the lake and we were able to use our phone GPS, make calls, and stream music. The boat had some nice integrated speakers with Bluetooth connectivity and we were able to jam out to our own tunes. There was also a cool flotation device attached to the back of the boat called the Aqua Lily Pad which we unrolled after anchoring, we had multiple adults laying on it without sinking into the lake. Overall, we could not have asked for a better experience and we would highly recommend booking with Float On.

The route chosen was perfect to show off areas of Austin you would not normally see... plus the leader was full of fun facts about the city. It made the run go really fast! Also, all of the people who generally do runs like these are very nice and social, so it's a great way to meet new people! The only thing that would keep me from doing more of these runs, is that if you are already very familiar with Austin, then it's hard to justify the price for a run you could do on your own. But it's worth it if you're looking for camaraderie!

Great tour! Fun and friendly and you'll get to see the city! The price includes beer and food!read more

YES YES YES!!! SO MUCH FUN!!! I can't recommend this tour enough. We went on the van tour and…read morewent to three different locations. Our tour guide took time at every location to thoroughly go through all of the "Haunted Tales" and give all of the background information. It was definitely an interesting and unique tour that would be a big miss if you come to Austin and didn't take this tour. My favorite location was the second stop, which is now an Indian restaurant. I don't want to give too much away, but this felt the most haunted of the locations. It took about 2 1/2 hours-ish so plan accordingly.

All right to start off with I have to say how easy it was to get an adjustment for our party of…read moreeight. So typically the van is only able to hold so many people and in order to make accommodations for our party, the reservation was able to be combined with a second reservation to allow the group to be all together. Next it is super cool that you can bring your own beverages if you would like and that definitely allowed the group to be a little bit more silly with each other nothing too crazy, and I believed our guide Matthew really enjoyed the high energy we were bringing to the tour. The tour overall was super fun and educational regarding the different historical landmarks within Austin. The ending at the Littlefield house was super interesting because it tied into the Bell Tower incident and how those two individuals though decades and decades apart had similar visions within their stories. Highly recommend Matthew with his Scooby-Doo mystery van vibes and his awesome Halloween playlist. We are so excited that we got a chance to do this for my sister's bachelorette party. And also great suggestions given by Matthew regarding speakeasy bars and pubs around the area that you would never have thought were there.
