Shann was very prompt and very helpful
Shann was very prompt and very helpful, replying at all hours with options for our travel plans. We've booked and look forward to the trip. The weblink to the suggested itinerary & quote is a very nice feature. Only complaint is that the link takes you to the latest itinerary change & price, so it is not possible to compare it to the previous itinerary / quote. Still excellent service though!
