Canyonlands Tauck Tour

In May of 2022, I escorted a small group on Tauck tour's Canyonlands. It was my first visit to the Grand Canyon as well as Bryce, Zion and Sedona. We covered so much in the 8 days of travel and enjoyed great meals, entertainment, floats down the Colorado River and a flight over Glen Canyon as well...Read more.

Best Travel Agent
Nancy Cowan has planned many trips on my behalf and, without exception, they have been top notch. She makes a point of understanding my preferences and needs, and makes sure she accommodates them, even if it is above and beyond the actual organized vacation tour. When things go awry regarding airline or other unforeseen glitches, she always responds by intervening on my behalf. Having someone with so much travel industry experience pays off when a need arises somewhere, anywhere, along the travel journey. My very best vacations have been planned by Nancy.

Latest and Best Cruise
My husband and I have booked many trips, primarily cruises, through Nancy. Recently she handled a wonderful Viking cruise for us and five other couples. Superb work. Working with Nancy has been a delight over the years. She exhibits a very rare quality in the service business-she truly puts the customer FIRST. In all regards. We find her to be extremely knowledgeable of destinations, cruise lines, etc., and very much appreciate her insights, thoughts. She is very detail oriented, leaving nothing to chance. She always seems to find the best available rooms, at the best price, always aware of and taking advantage of any and all promotions available. Nancy is very timely following up on questions we may have, very thorough in her responses.

Finally, it is worth noting that we used to book our own trips, and felt we were pretty thorough. Then we enlisted Nancy to handle all of our travel needs. What an upgrade!!! She is a real asset to Travel Leaders. An indispensable asset to us.

Nancy is the bomb!
It’s alwayes an absolute pleasure to work with Nancy. She is knowledgeable and makes it her mission to assure her clients a wonderful, pain - free trip. We have been clients of hers for many years and would not think of booking a trip without her expertise!

Nancy thought of every detail
We were so pleased to work with Nancy Cowen! From recommending an itinerary to explaining what to expect at every stage, Nancy covered it all. She asked us for decisions on details we would never even have thought of. When it came time to leave for our trip, we put ourselves in the capable hands of Nancy and Viking, knowing that everything would be taken care of. Our trip insurance (recommended by Nancy) made the whole thing truly care-free. We would book with Nancy again in a heartbeat!

Can't wait to plan our next adventure with Nancy!
Nancy is fabulous! She helped us book the most spectacular vacation to the Sandals Halcyon in St Lucia. Nancy always responded promptly if we had any questions and even met us in person to give us information packets that detailed our options during our stay in paradise. Then Nancy eloquently dealt with an airline issue on our behalf and scored us travel vouchers for our next trip. We will absolutely book with Nancy Cowen for our future dreamy vacations!!
