  Chris was extremely responsive as she got back to us immediatly and was quick with follow ups. When we wanted to make changes and suggestions to new locations she was flexible and worked for our best interest. Her expertise is very valuable and can’t be matched by online booking websites

  Christine did an amazing job with all of our wedding guests! She made the booking process very easy. She was traveling to Mexico during our wedding and even helped me deliver welcome bags to the guests. Highly recommend!

  We used Chris to book our honeymoon to Antigua and she was fantastic. Very eager to help assist us in our planning (which we had very little time to do) and accommodating to work within our budget. Whether by phone, email, or text, she was certainly available to assist with what worked best on our schedule, even over the weekend. If you are planning a honeymoon or just a nice vacation, we would certainly recommend her! We had an absolute blast in Antigua - it was a dream honeymoon!!

  We used Chris to help us decide on and plan a 20th anniversary cruise. Neither of us had been on a cruise and weren't sure what we even wanted. Chris asked relevant questions and provided several options to help us figure out what we wanted. She answered all questions timely and thoroughly and made all the arrangements for us. It would have taken us forever to figure it all out. Thanks Chris!

  Chris booked our honeymoon to St. Lucia, where we stayed at the Sandals Grande. She handled absolutely every detail of our trip and made it a breeze. She made sure we got the very best value, and informed us of all the deals that applied to us. She made fabulous suggestions (the excursion she suggested was actually our very favorite part of the trip). We did not have to worry about any detail, she booked everything, reminded us each step along the way, and kept up with all details. Chris will make sure you have the very best trip/ honeymoon regardless of what you are looking for. Added bonus- we absolutely adore her as a person.

  Thank you for giving me comparisons to things I found on my own! I think we ended up spending more money but the increase in $ seems small compared to the increase in value. Will report back!

  Total Experience Travel's reply:

  Tracey, thanks for submitting this travel planning review. I'm glad you decided to upgrade your accommodations and experience compared to what you were originally looking at. It was great to hear upon your return, you agreed it was worth it and you both had a wonderful time! An upgraded suite never hurts ;) Glad you had an amazing 30th bday trip!!

  Chris has been amazing booking our family cruise. We are doing a multi-generational vacation. she dealt with all of our questions quickly and was a breeze to work with. Believe me she got lots of questions from multiple family members and we were all happy with our booking. She took the time to give us options even down to our cabin locations. Would highly recommend her.

  I worked with Chris Rakes for a 2015 labor day trip to bring some old college buddies out for a reunion of sorts. Working with her was incredible. We were able to book hotel reservations in Las Vegas in addition to travel to and from the airport for everyone. She worked with VIP services through the hotel for everything, making reservations and payment options, ultimately making a heavy day to day job load extremely easy for me. She was even able to work with the hotel to adjust payments when one of our members had to drop.
  
  I absolutely recommend working with Chris on any trip you plan to take. She is very professional, extremely punctual and overall just a pleasure to work with.

  Christine helped us plan our honeymoon to St. Lucia in August. She was very patient with both of us (my fiance and I had a lot of different opinions), and she had lots of really fun & cool suggestions on other places to see and experience. She took a lot of time to speak & email with me, I felt like she was there to "hold my hand" every step of the way. She took the care of all the payments & booking, which was a HUGE relief to me. She helped us figure out a way to get the most out of our budget, which we are very grateful for.

  What an amazing trip! I was worried about traveling to a country where we didn't speak the language. Chris recommended the perfect solution that gave us confidence that we had an expert available, if needed, but allowed us the flexibility to plan what we wanted to do each day.

  Chris does a great job tailoring trips to the individual's needs. She listened to our goals, gave us options with different travel companies to choose from based on our needs, and walked us through the entire process before we made our final decision. Chris was patient, answered all our questions, responded to us in a timely manner, and made us feel like our trip was the most important one in her book. Our future vacation will definitely be booked through Chris - we have been in good hands. We are really looking forward to our trip to Italy!
