Kiwi fanFABULOUS FIRST TRIP TO NEW ZEALAND
Dawn was outstanding to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to visit New Zealand. She quickly responded when I first reached out to her, noting the importance of planning well in advance. She communicated clearly during countless e-mails, and provided so much insider'smknowledge, due to her prior travel and work experience with companies in New Zealand. She drew up a detailed itinerary with excellent lodging and guided tour options. She showed infinite patience and grace in coordinating with my needs for a 2 part month-long trip that involved a different family member for each half. Her detailed itinerary allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves with very little to figure out after arrival in this spectacularly beautiful country. She also provided invaluable advice once back in the US, when I had to make a claim for a delayed bag. I am so happy that I chose Dawn and encourage any traveler to contact her for their needs to fly down under!

Dawn offered my family the integral help and assistance anyone would want when a planned vacation goes awry. As we were in Kaanalpali when the Maui fires happened in August of 2023, and we needed to evacuate the island. I called Dawn in a frenzy. She was quickly able to make on the spot adjustments for us, source new flights and alternate hotel availability, and gave us more reassurance than even a mother could offer. Because of her excellent response and service, my family and I were able to feel relaxed and supported during such an emergent and unsure time. We left the island quickly and easily without having to sit on phones while wasting our precious battery power, wait in long lines for assistance, or feel anxious in any way. Dawn was our superhero on this unforgettable and unfortunate vacation which was cut short due to the tragedy of the Lahaina fire. If you want to feel fully supported at any time of your travel, Dawn, hands down, is the agent you want at your side.
KateEasiest Bach Planning Experience for Best Time!
Dawn was great! She made planning our trip so easy. She helped to find a resort that accommodated our group of 7, appeased our ocean view suite wants, and included all inclusive while staying within our budget. She was helpful in figuring out transportation to & from the airport for a group leaving at various times.
