Excellent Overseas Travel
The travel plans are complex anytime you go overseas. We just felt that we were being so well taken care of, all plans worked out to perfection. Everything was wonderful, and we really enjoyed our trip. A great time to unplug from work and it was an awesome itinerary. We always felt that Diane was with us, supporting us so faithfully from the time we decided to take the trip, all of the way through to the time we came home from it. Whenever we had a question, even while we were overseas, she was so responsive and always ready to help. With Diane, you definitely cannot go wrong. If you are looking for TA with excellent travel knowledge and integrity, look no further. I definitely will be asking for Diane's help in the future!

Numerous Trips!
Diane did a great job scheduling our trip to Zion/Grand Canyon/Vegas. We did a lot of moving around and she made sure we were well taken care of. Diane has done numerous trips for us, including my parents anniversary trip to Hawaii, a girls trip to Jamaica, etc. We love using her because she gives great advice and really helps you stay within the budget you set. Thanks so much Diane!

Kauai Honeymoon
Diane did a tremendous job for us on our honeymoon trip to Kauai. She had everything mapped out for us, transportation, accommodations, several excursions. even a scooter for me as I have a bad limp. Nothing was left to chance. It was the perfect honeymoon, delayed by Covid 10, and my wife and both agree it was the best vacation we have ever had. My hats off to Diane. and he has my upmost praise. I can recommend her without any reservations (Pun intended)

Germany Vacation
Diane is a wonderful travel agent. She is responsive, helpful and knowledgeable. On a trip to Germany, she helped with a very unhelpful local tour, even though we were many time zones away! Highly recommend Diane. We have used her a number of times and continue to come back for her help.

Europe Vacation
I've worked with Diane on several European vacations and can't say enough about her responsiveness and determination to do everything she can to ensure we have a fabulous trip. She has connections that allow us to personalize our trips in ways we couldn't do on our own - want a private driver, Diane will arrange it; want to see a sheep dog demonstration in Ireland, Diane will arrange it; want to build your own watch in Switzerland, Diane will arrange it; want a private tour of Pompeii with an archeologist, Diane will arrange it. And once you are overseas if you run into a problem, no worries! She is always available to solve the issue, whatever it may be. I highly recommend her services. You will not be disappointed!

Princess Alaska Cruise
This is the first cruise that Diane has helped me with. It went so smoothly that I would never consider booking another cruise without her help. She was available anytime I needed her, and eased anxiety that I had about traveling.

25th Anniversary in Hawaii
Diane,
I just can't thank you enough for all you did to make our Hawaii trip wonderful. I've been telling everyone about how you met with us a year in advance to help us plan & make sure our 25th anniversary celebration was spectacular! I wasnt sure about doing a cruse but The Pride of America was definitely the way to go!!! The private tours you helped us book made our trip so much more enjoyable and we both are looking forward to returning one day. As always, great job! Please be sure to send me a supply of your business cards to share with my family & friends.
Thanks again!

Privately Guided China Tour
My daughter Erin and myself had the chance to visit Beijing this past May. Once again, Diane at Travel Leaders came through with a wonderful tour from "Trails of IndoChina". We had a personal tour guide and driver to help us through the language and cultural differences in China. Our guide, Linda, was truly wonderful - she helped decipher, bargain and recommend! I don't know what we would have done without her. Since it was a personal tour we also had flexibility in scheduling. This allowed us to avoid crowds . We were also able to see two parts of the Great Wall: The Badaling and less touristy Mutianyu. The Great Wall was magnificent!! The entire trip could not have gone smoother.

Amazingly just yesterday we shared your name with our friends as to what a super travel agent you are. All of our questions were answered before our trip so we knew what to expect. Also when we ran into a slight snag we called you and within a very short period of time everything was resolved. Thank you Diane for wonderful planning and a great trip.
