Ivonka Knight has been incredible to work with for our honeymoon! At a time when everything is up in the air, she was very reliable and had our best interest in mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better travel agent. I was referred to her by ...
my sister in law and I’m so grateful! She took care of everything! Even when a tropical storm threatened our trip, she was able to change our flights and hotel reservations to help us still have the best honeymoon possible! She really helped ease our anxieties about the flights and the hotel. She was super informed and even took the time to communicate with me while she was at a work conference. I would recommend her to anyone that plans to travel any where at any time for any reason! Thank you so much Ivonka🙏🏽

Ivonka planned our cruise to Alaska and I must say that she was the best travel agent that I have worked with on a pre-planned trip. Her advice and recommendations on our cruise excursions was crucial to the success of our trip. She set us up...
with independent excursion suppliers who saved us money rather than using the cruise ship's planned excursions. We also benefited by having the tours in smaller group numbers which allowed us to hear our guides better and not have a large crowd at our various touring sites. Her service before the cruise is also worth mentioning as she was always quick to respond to any inquiries. Ivonka supplied us with the information that we needed for the cruise in detail and presented all of the necessary documentation in a timely fashion so that we did have ample time to review the documents and generate any questions we might have with regard to the cruise and the excursions. I would not hesitate to use her services again whenever I need to hire a travel agent.
