Lisa Hoppe Travel Consulting

that would fit with our vacation lifestyle. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly responsive and helpful. We are so excited for our honeymoon and the team shared in that excitement with us, almost as if they were personal friends of ours :). When we went to meet with Lisa to pick up our travel documents, she was very thorough in covering what we needed to know to prepare for our trip and giving us useful information for while we were there. To top it all off, she gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne to celebrate with! If you are looking for personal, professional, and knowledgeable travel support, then Lisa and her team have to be your choice! You won't be disappointed and we will definitely use them again for future travel needs.

away to consult with Lisa Hoppe!

resort; however, we were left disappointed with their lack of help and service when we felt we needed them the most. Our trip was during hurricane season. We booked through Lisa as we didn’t want to worry about checking on our flight status, canceling anything or applying the insurance ourselves if needed – and we told her as such at our meeting. Houston airport (our connection) was hit by a hurricane and the airport was shut down either the day of or day before our wedding. Yes, we understand it was our responsibility and also our mistake to not follow this more closely. We were focused on the wedding and trusted that Lisa would contact us with any problems. We received nothing from Lisa or her team - not a heads up that our connection could potentially be an issue or a notification that our flights were actually canceled. We think since they booked our trip, any notification would have gone to Lisa rather than us. We do not know if anything was sent to Lisa; all we know is that neither one of us received any notification whatsoever. After sorting out our flights with Funjet, we asked Lisa if we should consider adjusting our return flight (through Houston). Their reply: “Please check in to your flights within 24 hours before your departure time. You can do this at the front desk. If your flight is cancelled or changes are made, you will need to call the Funjet phone number provided to rearrange a new flight schedule. Below are the numbers again for a quick reference. Clients are responsible for contacting the airline to reconfirm flights. It is really difficult to provide an opinion on your return flights. It is still raining in Houston and the airport flooded. We cannot predict what it will be like on your return date. The airline will reroute you if necessary. I do wish I had an exact answer for you.” We took their response as: they did not have any suggestions, we were on our own for our travel plans, and they would not try to help us fix any other potential issues. Other problems we experienced: 1. We asked the resort if they had received our wedding invitation. Without proof of marriage, the resort has the right to refuse the honeymoon package. Lisa either never sent it or double checked with the resort - after repeating on multiple occasions they would forward it. Luckily I grabbed an extra copy before we left. 2. The resort asked if our travel agent informed us they were under construction and implied that they always want their guests know ahead of time and what to expect. We were not told they were under construction. 3. After all this, they addressed a welcome home email to us – with the wrong name. Overall, we did find Lisa Hoppe helpful for selecting and booking our trip, but we would not ever use their services again. We were left with no help in the busy days before and after our wedding – when we trusted them to relay any problems and make necessary changes for us or at least offer helpful recommendations as they are supposed to be the expert in this area.

el agency!

nd well organized. She coordinate for our transportation and flights, all of which were on schedule and reliable. We had several people throughout our trip ask about who we booked through and we were very pleased to give all of the credit to Lisa and all. Thank you so very much for the trip of a lifetime! We can't wait to work with you again.

were very impressed with her responsiveness to emails, considering we were blown off by two other travel agencies. In the end, we had a fantastic time! We know we could not have planned such a comprehensive trip without her. My husband and I look forward to planning many more trips with Lisa Hoppe Travel Consulting.

y trip with them! We definitely recommend them as your travel agent!!

rocess. Lisa Hoppe helped us to have the experience of a lifetime. We got to do everything that we wanted to and more with their help. Our hotels were exactly what we wanted and very helpful. Our tours helped us to see other parts of the country other than the city we were staying in and our travel was planned and easy to navigate. I could not be happier with everything that Lisa Hoppe helped us with. We will be going to them for every overseas vacation from now on!

ith them to Jamaica in 2017. Shout out to Mona for always being there when I had a question and never making me feel like I was bothering her. This is a very special group to work with and are passionate about helping!

assured that she had it all covered. She helped with activity suggestions, hotels, visas, flights, and stayed in touch with us throughout our trip to make sure we were doing well. I never had a care in the world while we had Lisa working with us. I will never hesitate to use her again (or to undertake another world-trip!)! The experiences we gained will lay the groundwork for our lives from here on out and we only have Lisa to thank for it. How many times can I say thank you?!?

reservations and we had an amazing trip. I would highly recommend Lisa Hoppe Travel Consulting to anyone!

ing with sharks!

in need. Additionally, her staff was always very friendly and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend using her services.

was able to create and put together terrific plans for us. We literally could not have been happier with every step of the way. Great hotel choices, phenomenal seats on our plan rides (small fee for upgrades, they got us great rates). We loved every hotel we stayed at and all of the tour guides we had were insanely wonderful. Truly amazed at the behind the scenes organization they have. They were always available via phone or email and got back to me quickly...I recommend them in the highest regard.

ed, and they made it happen. The price of the service and trip was worth it, and from what we've heard from other travelers who planned their trip themselves, we definitely got the better deal. I would recommend Lisa Hoppe Travel for all couples planning their honeymoon, or any family who are planning a vacation. Rosa and I will be using them again.

xpo. She and team were quick to answer our questions, and had some great suggestions that met our criteria perfectly. We had a few issues working with their team that contributed to a 4-star review instead of 5. First, we really struggled to check into our flights, as the team did not provide our passport information to the airline, which we assumed they were doing, as they needed our passport information to book the trip. Second, the staff weren't fully aware of the details of their travel insurance policies. Due to a weather-related flight delay, we missed our connecting flight to Jamaica and ended up spending our first night in Baltimore. We called their office from the airport in Baltimore before booking a hotel for the night to understand what would be reimbursable through the policy. We were told that all "reasonable" expenses for lodging, meals, and transport would be covered, while in fact the policy only covered $100 per person, per day. Third, we were unable to reach anyone at their office outside of 8am-5pm, Monday-Friday, which was very inconvenient considering that our flight boarded at 5:45am on a Monday, and we weren't able to check into the flight on Sunday night. (However, I'd like to note that once we were in contact with their office, they were responsive and tried in earnest to help us resolve our travel issues.) In general - Lisa Hoppe and team were great to work with for selecting our destination and resort, and booking our trip, but there was room for improvement in managing issues that popped up unexpectedly. Still, I recognize that our travel issues were not reflective of the average traveler, and would recommend them to a friend.

to deal-shop on our own either, so when the bride's mother recommended Lisa Hoppe Travel to us, we were happy to contact them. We wouldn't normally have gone through an agency. I (the groom) am the type to research and find the best deal/value/quality myself, but with so many other things on our plate while planning an MN wedding from NYC, we weren't too reluctant to give up control. Our leap of faith in booking with a travel agency was greatly rewarded. We only communicated via email, but the staff was incredibly prompt in responding to all of our questions. Instead of selecting one of the original trips that Lisa Hoppe Travel recommended to us, which were in a much lower budget range, we actually decided to extend our budget higher than we were initially comfortable to select a trip we had seen in one of the agency's promotional emails. Our experience was wonderful and well worth the cost. After deciding on the trip a few months away from the wedding, we didn't have to think of the honeymoon until the night before (make sure to leave a day to decompress between the wedding and the honeymoon!). All of the arrangements were taken care of, and we were able follow our helpful travel information packet all the way to front door of our resort. Great, knowledgeable staff that made it easy to plan our honeymoon well in advance and from afar. Saved us quite a bit of money from booking directly through the Secrets website as well...

e were trying to do on our own! There are so many options out there, it is totally worth it to ask the help of an expert! Thank you1

lse out of pocket (besides tips of course!) Lisa Hoppe company was very easy to email and got us a great deal! We'd definitely use them again for the next trip.

fter the wedding.

no issues and we traveled out of the country. Our agent Kati even gave us great advice and planning tips! We are looking to book through them again for our anniversary!

ding day turned out to be like a fairy tale. I would definitely use the traveling agency again in the future.

lp make our decision. Lisa was very quick with responding to all our questions and made the whole process very stress free! When we met with her a few weeks before our honeymoon, she walked through all of our travel documents with us and even gave us a bottle of champagne! It's those little things that really made us feel that she was going the extra mile for us and that we would have an amazing honeymoon!

them to do your next trip!

rsonally to review our travel details. We felt we got a lot of value for the price and were very happy with the entire experience.

on to St. Regis Bora Bora, everything was tremendous. Key: we were thousands of miles from home and all went smooth and as promised. Our travel to and from the resorts to the airports were without wait times and were all successful. Lisa Hoppe Travel booked our trips within Hawaii (Pearl Harbor) and chose the perfect hotel to stay on our nights on Honolulu. And, Lisa chose the best resort for our final stop: the St. Regis Bora Bora. It was breathtaking. Heaven on earth. And we did shed tears on leaving (we will go back, probably with some family and friends this time). From planning to honeymoon, Lisa Hoppe and her team gave us the greatest gift of a dream, once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon and priceless experience together. She listened to our wants and needs and made suggestions that all proved the best choices. Further, we used her to book our trip to Ireland for a wedding a month later. She got us into the Merrion Hotel in Dublin (which showed fully booked when we tried before meeting Lisa). Again, another great experience thanks to Lisa and her people. And she's also planned our trip in November 2015 to Sandals LaSource Grenada and our annual trip to Disney World. Next year, she will assist us in planning a European cruise with our family. We recommend Lisa Hoppe Travel to all our family and friends and I suggest --- with the strongest recommendation possible --- that you connect with Lisa Hoppe Travel and let her plan your honeymoon (and all your travel).

hout, providing all of the necessary information that we needed. We were able to relax and have one less thing to stress about.

me to hear about that different and fun things we could do. We signed up for a couple things and it was easy. They picked us up from our hotel and took care of everything. The hotel was right on Waikiki beach and was beautiful. It was truly a vacation because everything was taken care of and the people were really nice. Thank you to Lisa Hoppe for setting up everything. We will definitely use you again.

ding. When we missed a connecting flight she made sure our driver and hotel knew so we didn't miss a beat. Going with Lisa was the way to go for an exotic location like we had. She made us feel at ease even though we were halfway around the world

y telling us local weather around this time of year is normally pretty cold, so you might want to consider this other place. Once we narrowed the location down to Jamaica, there were still multiple resorts to choose from. They showed us customer reviews, showed us pros and cons of each resort and ultimately we settled on Sandals Grande Rivera. It was absolutely amazing and I would recommend it to anyone. We loved the service, quality and overall value for our money. We had an excellent time and can't wait to go back again. We would have probably chosen somewhere is Mexico due to cheaper prices if it were not for Lisa Hoppe Travel Consulting. They warned us about the colder weather and in which it might not be nice enough to go swimming and things like that. So we were very grateful for that. But not only that, they also filled out all of our travel paperwork for us and provided an itinerary and recommendations/ suggestions of what to do, what to bring, etc. They made our trip very stress free and we will definitely use them again in the future! Thank you Lisa Hoppe for all of your hard work and support!

d her staff made it really easy for us... We just booked and she took care of the rest with no issues. We will recommend her to all our friends who are getting married!

e and talk through some of her recommendations having listened to what we were hoping to have in a honeymoon. We landed on an all-inclusive honeymoon in St. Lucia and had a fabulous time. When asked if Lisa could try and get a room upgrade for us, we were told they would see what could be done. Although this was not possible as the resort was sold out for the week, Lisa kindly (and unbenounced to us) upgraded our tickets to first class for both the trip to and back. The ease of free baggage and the addiitonal room (not to mention free drinks) was a perfect start and end to our honeymoon. They also arranged for a few special perks to be offered us at the resort including breakfasts in bed and champagne/flowers in the room upon arrival. As if this all wasn't enough, we purchased the travel insurance for our trip through Lisa Hoppe and were able to save over $600 on our trip as the room rates dropped after we had initially booked our trip. We had a great experience working with Lisa and her team and would highly recommend them. We'll be back to plan future trips!

g on my own- I wanted someone else to do the work! Lisa and her helpers at the office planned the perfect honeymoon. Since South Africa is so far away, many flights, cab rides, transfers, hotels etc needed to be booked. Every single detail was not missed. They tailored every part of our honeymoon to perfectly match our wish list. We never waited longer then 10 minutes for a ride to take us to the next airport. Every tour guide, van driver, hotel front desk person etc we're so nice and friendly and genuinely wanted to take great care of us. The scheduling was flexible to be able to meet and plan the trip at her office (I am a nurse who works second shift and my husband works "normal people" hours). They all responded to questions via phone and email promptly. The only thing we would have liked to see was a price breakdown of services, prices of vendors, etc. we just got a lump sum of what we were to pay to put down a deposit/ total for the trip. But after planning a wedding for a year and a half I didn't really care and was happy to know that we were going on an amazing honeymoon. We would definitely recommend Lisa Hoppe! Don't be afraid to speak up and tell them all your "dos and donts." They listened well and it sure payed off!

ey booked our resort, flights, and shuttles. They are extremely knowledgable about resorts all over the world.

desmaids so that they could purchase a few extra surprises for us!

time! Will definately use their services again.

property in St. Lucia, and it was amazing!! Thank you so mucn Lisa and team!! We can't wait to back the that amazing island!

h a surprise, as we have never worked with a travel agent before. After giving our budget and ideal location, we were sent multiple options to pick from. Once we picked our location, which was in Punta Cana, Lisa and her team set everything up. We were sent travel tips, and information about our resort in advance. All we had to do was head to the airport the morning of our trip.Once we arrived at our resort, we were checked in, and treated like royalty. It was the best honeymoon we could have asked for! If you are looking to book your honeymoon, contact Lisa Hoppe. Everything can be done over the phone and through email, which was the best part!

us with the information we needed on various destinations to make our final decision. What I love most is that they are really organized. They send you various quotes in a very easy to understand method. They also respond quickly to emails and phone calls which was greatly appreciated. In addition they followed up after our vacation which was wonderful. My husband and I along with our friends had a wonderful time in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! Our flights were as planned, ground transportation available immediately and our resort was great. Once we arrived, our travel services provided us with a meeting where we selected excursions and activities some of which not available to other guests. It was a beautiful experience and we thank Lisa and her team for all their help! We highly refer them for your future travel plans.

which we used as a honeymoon was wonderful- with no worries regarding shuttles, flight confirmations, etc. I would recommend Hoppe Travel for any travel plans anybody has regarding weddings or vacations- we are already planning another vacation using their services!

ad a beautiful hotel in Barcelona that Lisa Hoppe Travel booked for us before the cruise. Once we boarded the cruise, we had an awesome time! I would definitely recommend Lisa Hoppe if you are looking for a memorable honeymoon or vacation!

a wedding and working full-time, they took the stress of planning the honeymoon off our shoulders! They were very knowledgable about all that Sandals had to offer during our stay and offered suggestions to us to make our experience memorable, which turned out to be even better than we could have imagined. They were very easy to get a hold of and always answered our questions in a timely manner. They prepared us with travel tips, packing advice on what to bring to certain locations, honeymoon amenities, and upgrades. Overall, we were very pleased and satisfied with all of the staff at Lisa Hoppe travel and would definitely work with them again for future trips.

we LOVED. Everything went smoothly and we never had to worry about a thing. Thanks again!
