Customer Testimonials

Affordable Getaway!

I wanted an affordable, last minute getaway with my family. My husband and I are overwhelmed educators and the idea of staring at a screen trying to find a location that met all our hopes sounded like one more task. Thankfully Ms. Adventure Travel took that task off our hands and presented us with multiple options. We were able to accept the proposal and get on our way! We had an incredible getaway!!

A trip to look forward to.
Drenda was amazing in helping us to plan an Alaska cruise with two other couples. She worked so hard to get us upgrades and lots of other perks. We were so excited! Unfortunately the cruise was set for June 2020 and was cancelled. I would highly recommend Drenda. Her enthusiasm for travel is infectious. She is so knowledgeable about so many places. She is constantly finding amazing deals all over the world.

The best cruise we didn’t get to go on!
Drenda was very responsive in finding exactly what we were looking for in our Alaskan cruise. She also asked questions about aspects we hadn’t considered to help us plan our vacation. She was great to work with! Sadly, Covid prevented us from going on the cruise, but look forward to working with Drenda again.
