Testimonials

Michelle & Michael

Our experience with Global Dream Vacations to plan a trip to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday was exceptional! Our travel agent Elizabeth listened to exactly what my dreams were for the vacation and over delivered! For a party of 16 people, I was shocked by how perfectly everything was meticulously orchestrated by Elizabeth, down to the smallest of details. I, as well as several of our friends on the trip, plan to utilize Elizabeth’s expertise for all of our future travels!

Agent: Elizabeth

We’ve never been cruisers and never expected to be, but the Viking Cruise you arranged for us has forever changed our minds. It was excellent in every respect and we’ve already reserved three more trips over the next two years. Thank you for all the help making this such a memorable time for us.

Kathy & Dan

Adriatic Cruise

Laura is amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable on so many locales and has details on travel, destinations, excursions, and other specifics that never even come to our mind. Working with Laura on small trips or once-in-a -lifetime getaways always puts us at ease. She takes care of everything!

Jason

Hawaii Family Trip

Laura has assisted us and members of our family with trips to Mexico and Costa Rica. She asks questions and always provides a few options that vary in price. She provides her clients with a full itinerary including lodging reservations and airport transfers. Buy the trip insurance! Even before COVID, I had a stroke and we were fully covered. Peace of mind is a great thing to have when traveling!

Ashley & Tim

Costa Rica

LOVED IT! Outstanding! The entire trip could not have been better. You were spot on that we could put our wallet a way while on the resort; it was so nice not to think about money while there. We appreciated the recommendations and the work you put in to make it everything we desired and more; the kids are already talking about our next trip!

Thank you so much for setting up our honeymoon. You did an absolutely perfect job setting it up, finding us a great deal and when the plans changed that day I really appreciated all your help. I appreciated your persistence to find us the best deal for exactly what we wanted! I’ve been able to brag to all my friends telling them that my “travel agent” just took care of us when we missed a flight due to weather. It really was stress free from start to finish, and a great honeymoon. Again thanks for everything I can’t wait to book my next trip. We were talking about it before we even got home!

Trip to Beach

We have booked four vacations with Mandy and are so happy to have had her help. We have used her assistance for family travel and special occasion travel both in the United States and internationally. Mandy was knowledgable about our desired destinations and very quick to provide a range of options within our budget. We have not had any issues with any of our bookings, but I feel confident that if we did that Mandy would have helped immediately. We highly recommend Mandy’s services. She makes travel planning something our family looks forward to!

Agent: Mandy

I just wanted to shoot you an email, Laura, and tell you that we absolutely loved the Resort and Jamaica. It was amazing.

Buddy

Trip to Mexico

I have been our family’s travel planner for many years and found it to take way too much of my time and be more stress than needed. A friend recommended Mandy and it was so wonderful! She asked me what our preferences were for travel, and was able to pick the ideal resort. Every detail was handled beautifully and all I had to do was set the alarm to make the flight. The rest of the vacation went off without a hitch. Even when I was worried about a possible weather delay, she was reassuring that even if that happened, it would all work out well – which it did! I will continue to use Mandy for our family’s travel needs and sit back and relax. Thank you Mandy!

Mandy is so fun to work with! Very responsive and genuinely excited to plan your trip with you. She was great at all the changes we threw at her and the vacation went off without a hitch! Highly recommended if you want a knowledgeable agent who makes it seem like you are her only customer! PERFECT!

Trip to Disney

Agent: Mandy

Mandy helped book a trip for my husband and me or our 15th wedding anniversary. She came up with some fabulous options and we chose the Dominican republic. The price was reasonable, the accommodations were awesome, and the weather was perfect. We were so thankful for Mandy’s insight and knowledge since neither one of us had ever been to DR. This was also the first time we had purchased trip insurance and we are so thrilled that we did. Our flight from Charlotte got canceled and we ended up having to rent a car to drive back to Virginia. Mandy didn’t miss a beat and had the paperwork rolling immediately. We ended up being reimbursed for the two flights and the rental car! So thankful for Mandy and her expertise!

We will never plan our own vacation again! Mandy took our preferences and ran with them—giving us options that met our criteria and our budget. She always updated us with the newest sales and promotions, and helped us to get the most for our money. We really appreciated the traveling advice she gave us, especially the tips for managing our way through the Cancun airport! I was so impressed with the amount of knowledge she had about the resorts, and she made it so easy–all we did was provide the money. We will definitely be using her for all our future trips!

Trip to Dominican Republic

Agent: Mandy

Mandy booked a trip to Northern India for my husband and myself. I cannot say enough good things about our experience working with her. She covered all the bases and then some! From planning our flight times to have the least amount of jet lag to lining up a trip to ride elephants in Jaipur she thought of every detail. She was so prompt to get back with answers to all of our questions. A true joy to work with. I have and will continue to give her name out to all our friends looking for a great travel agent! We are planning another trip in the near future and we will be using Mandy again without a doubt!

Lauren

Trip to India

Agent: Mandy

The entire trip was brilliantly executed. Each event was better than the previous if that was possible. She is amazing! Our plans for our 5-day trip were executed without a hitch. Laura handled every detail to make this the most memorable trip we have ever taken (Macy’s Day Parade, transportation, excellent hotel, museum tickets and guides, walking tour of NY Theatre District, Broadway Show tickets, wonderful restaurant reservations, and more and more. THANK YOU so much Laura.

Chris & Steve

Trip to New York City

Laura has been such a pleasure to work with and has made our travels so much easier from beginning to end. She is efficient with our reservations and gives expert recommendations on transportation, lodging etc. From her own traveling experiences, she has guided us to the countries and mode of traveling that best suits us. We appreciate Laura’s travel expertise, as well as her friendship!

We have worked with Laura since the early 2000’s and have experienced many wonderful trips including cruises, all-inclusive resorts, and land excursions. Laura has made many good suggestions and made travel easy. She has good travel partners to use for land travel and excursions. We have had good experiences using her recommendations. When trouble/problems have occurred during one of our trips, Laura has been available to assist in helping with overcoming the issues.

Nick & Cathy

Trip to Europe, Caribbean, Mexico

Laura was an absolute delight to work with and made our travel so easy, finding great deals on all our travel and lodging and getting it all lined up. She even paid attention to little details like booking us a navigation system for driving in a different country. Little things like that we would not have thought of ourselves but it made all the difference!
