Another five star adventure, thanks to Adventures

Susan helped us plan a family trip to Florence and Venice. She helped us with hotel reservations, gondola excursions, transportation to and from the airports, and everything was perfect! Having someone you can rely on to guide you to the right places makes everything more relaxing, which is the point of a vacation. Can’t wait for Susan to help us choose the next place to go!

Best senior spring break trip!
Susan was extremely helpful in booking our hotel reservation at the SLS Beverly Hills. She understood exactly what we wanted out of the trip, and the location was perfect for accessing West Hollywood and the Beverly Hills business district, and it was only a short drive from the Santa Monica Pier. She suggested amazing restaurants in Malibu and throughout West Hollywood and aided us with booking those reservations, as well. Additionally, Susan was able to recommend fantastic, worth while hikes and sight seeing tours/activities. Overall, she was very accommodating and seemed well versed in what the greater LA area had to offer. Will definitely be working with her again soon!

Most relaxing beach vacation ever!
Susan was a pleasure to worth with from our first conversation. She is a consumate professional who understands value. We were traveling for the first time to the Caribbean and wanted a luxury resort, on a quiet beach but wanted to avoid an all inclusive. She recommended that we stay at Cap Juluca and we couldn't have been more delighted with her suggestion. I would recommend her to anyone planning a vacation without hesitation.

Wonderfull Mexican Beach Getaway
I do not usually work with a Travel Agent when planning a vacation but I will from this point on. Susan Buchner was amazing and made the experience so easy. I gave her my budget, dates and types of things that we like to do and she provided me with a list of options. We selected a trip and Susan took it from there making arrangements for the flights, accommodations, transfers and basic information about the location that proved very helpful. I appreciated knowing that there were long delays with the luggage pick-up in Mexico and we decided not to check any luggage as a result. I cannot wait to work with Susan again.
