This is a very long overdue(nearly two years) review…read more My wife and I got married in October 2017 and we chose AST Travel's to book our honeymoon. Denise went above and beyond to make sure our honeymoon was the best and it was beyond PERFECT!! Denise booked our flight and a ten day all inclusive stay at Sandals Resort in Whitehouse, Jamaica and made the process extremely smooth. When we got there, she even paid out of her own pocket to make sure we had candlelight dinner on the beach. My wife and I are so grateful to have found Denise to help plan our once in the lifetime trip. I HIGHLY recommend Denise to book your trip, no matter where it is because she will make sure you enjoy every second of it!! Thank you so much for your dedication to helping us Denise!! We will be seeing you soon:)

Denise was wonderful. After a job change, I had a brief period of time that opened up all of a…read moresudden - and my partner and I had never had a honeymoon. We decided to jump on it, but had no idea where to go. Denise spent hours with me on the phone figuring out what we liked, and helping us center a trip around snorkeling (a first for me - I came from New England before living in SF - that I've always wanted to do). She found us a super swanky all inclusive room and finagled us special decoration and welcome packages for honeymooners, all within our budget and on a tiny timeframe. Then a few days later right before I was going to pay, I called her up at 9pm on a Sunday (please don't be rude to her like me!) worried that the hotel wasn't quite right for us - we were going to Mexico and it felt a little too 'professional' for us, plus I was wondering if there was a way I could just walk right out and snorkel each day. Denise spent hours more with me that night helping me find the perfect spot and plans all over again, with no complaint whatsoever - she actually seemed excited! She really seems to love her job and genuinely enjoys learning about you as a person and matching you to the right trip. Then she even met me in the city where was convenient for me to take payment. We ended up at Club Med, which I had never thought of, which had snorkeling right off the resort - and walked out and snorkeled almost every day of our trip. We also went to Xel-Ha, for another day of fish-watching. There were other options and tours that we'd gone over, but the resort was so good that once we were there we just found ourselves having a wonderful relaxing time with little distraction. Thank you, Denise!

Correcting my middle name by 1 letter - they were charging $450. Cancelling my flight -- I have to pay the airlines penalty PLUS $150 per passenger for Mango Tours processing -- ending up paying 2 fees, when I could've just gone directly to the airlines to pay one fee. A previous flight of mine got rescheduled INVOLUNTARILY by Philippine Airlines twice and Mango Tours charged me both times $100+ each, to "re-issue my ticket" to me. I had nothing to do with the rescheduled flight, yet they still charged me. I couldn't get a refund for my April 2020 flight (INVOLUNTARILY CANCELLED) it was months and months out.. so I ended up just filing a dispute. I think customer support and general fees are better when booking directly with airlines, and avoid Mango Tours.

Our trip to Southeast Asia was a unique and wonderful experience. Our first big trip since the…read morepandemic so a bit nerve-wracking even though we've done smaller trips closer to home. But this time we were away for practically a month! We've never been away that long in any of our trips pre-pandemic days so this was a first! We initially had planned a different trip down under for Dec but had to cancel and instead decided on Southeast Asia. We often travel with a group of friends/relatives but missed their land tour of Vietnam/Cambodia several years back, the region sounded so interesting historically and culturally. Thus we decided we had to visit the area, opted for a week in Singapore and a 2-wk cruise that included Thailand and Vietnam. My spouse is mobility challenged thus we rely on accessibility whenever/wherever it's available. By the time it was decided on cruising Southeast Asia, it was a bit late to book excursions that were accessible although usually there is generally something available when booking at the last minute on the ship. To ensure my spouse could also participate in some of the excursions, we needed tours that were accessible including support in handling individuals in need of more assistance. We were aware that Asia is not exactly handicap friendly at least not as completely as in the Americas, and expected there may be access limitations. I seeked help from Jeanie of Riveting Trips for tours in Singapore and excursions for the day visits off the ship and overnighters. She is affiliated with the Virtuoso Travel Consortium I had used for an online hotel reservation that was merely a fluke discovery while surfing the web a year earlier. I generally prefer to do my own bookings and research but in the interest of time plus a remodel in progress, I'm so glad I seeked help from Jeanie. She provided so much advice and prep info including whether the ship was in port or tender to the shore-that was key on whether my spouse could do an excursion at a particular stop. Then it was suggested by her travel connections in Southeast Asia that overnight stays could be in a hotel since it was a 90 min to 2 hr drive from the port to the town of interest-in this case Bangkok and Hanoi. So glad we decided on the overnight stays in the hotels-we were able to enjoy the destination more w/site-seeing and shopping before heading back to the port. Plus the hotels were 6-stars, elegant and service all around were outstanding, definitely would return to the hotels if we visit again. All the guides we met in each stop were excellent, communications between the guides and Jeanie were all on point. Jeanie was always part of the group chats w/each guide we met should there be any problems that she could intervene if necessary, but that was never the case. I would use Jeanie again for future travel that entail detailed coordination and when we're traveling on our own. Overall, a great trip, despite a hiccup in accessibilty at one location and the hot temps and heavy humidity down south. Dec-Feb is supposedly the best time to travel around southeast Asia....we know humidity from the good ol' southern states in the USA but it was downright steamy in Singapore & Thailand!

So when my son graduated college and I knew I wanted to send him on a trip I needed help. After reaching out to Jeanie and having a quick call with her I was completely put to ease that I found the right person. She was very informative and provided plenty of options to chose from. It was great to receive updates along the way with COVID restrictions provided regularly. Weeks before the trip she stayed in contact with up to date info and reminders even as she went on vacation herself. We were so appreciative of her support before and during the trip. We will definitely be contacting her for all future trips

She can save you a lot of time trying to find vendors to work with and save you from some sticker shock by helping you with a realistic budget from the very beginning.

Any wedding planner would probably just tear their hair out, but Ryanne, was super organized, she delivered on everything we asked, and resolved any hiccups along the way. Ryanne was our advocate and took charge of everyting, from talking to the vendors ( we had 10) about pricing issues to doing little things like bringing picture frames at the last minute. We felt really confident leading up to the wedding. We were able to just hang out with our family and friends from out of town, instead of stressing about wedding details. She was a calming presence to my groom and I. A couple of months beforehand, she even came with me to buy wedding decor and gave me advice on things that I would NEVER think of. She was a great value and more than I expected in a wedding coordinator. You would think she has been doing this for years, but this was her first big event on her own. She is one talented lady and can only get better.

Shannon is professional, organized, experienced, and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. She provided excellent recommendations on which ship and itinerary would be the best fit, and her firsthand knowledge of the Virgin Voyages brand really showed since she has cruised with them herself. Shannon helped with every detail of the trip, from assisting with meal reservations to organizing private tours during our stops in Victoria, B.C. and Vancouver. I truly didn't have to worry about anything or spend time researching -- I let Shannon plan the entire trip, and she absolutely delivered. The private tours were fantastic, and I learned and saw so many highlights of both Victoria and Vancouver. I especially enjoyed my time in Vancouver. Shannon booked a private tour for 8 of us, and it was so convenient being picked up directly from the port terminal. Our hotel for the overnight stay was only about a 5-minute walk away, so we were able to quickly drop off our luggage before heading out on a full-day tour of Vancouver. Thanks to the tour, I was able to see and experience so much more of Vancouver than I would have if I had explored on my own. We visited Butchart Gardens, Stanley Park, Granville Island, Olympic Village, Capilano River Hatchery, and Capilano Suspension Bridge, and we also drove by and learned about many other sites along the way. I had an amazing time on the cruise and met so many wonderful people, many of whom were also Shannon's clients. There were around 20 of us booked through her on the sailing, and it was great connecting with fellow travelers throughout the trip. This was such a great way to get my first taste of cruising and traveling to places I had never been before. I'm so glad I booked through Shannon and would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning a cruise or vacation!

We thought we didn't need the extra help, and boy were we wrong! After doing some of our own initial research, we realized we had a ton of questions.

After doing more research, we also realized we were not paying extra for her services, but getting lots of personal attention. Why wouldn't you want a cruise concierge? Our first cruise was with MSC and we just finished our 2nd one on Norwegian. She really helped make both special. I will ALWAYS use Shannon and look forward to working with her when we plan our next cruise.
