Incredible Experience

We worked with Ann at Shared Adventures for our honeymoon to Thailand and it was the best decision! Many of our friends had worked with her before, but this was our first time ever working with a travel agent, so we weren't sure what to expect. Ann made the process very easy and seamless. We knew we wanted to spend 2 weeks in Thailand so we hopped on a quick Zoom with Ann and she listened to how we usually like to travel, any ideas we already had, and she asked many important other questions about things we hadn't thought of. She came back quickly with a proposal that was very indicative of our conversation, within our budget, and truly exactly what we were looking for! We were so impressed with her attention to detail, reliable and quick communication throughout the process, and the ease of the whole experience! When it came time for the trip we had all of our documents easily accessible within the app and we had the time of our lives! Don't hesitate to work with Ann! She's the best!

Best decision ever!

Ann at Shared Adventure Travels is excellent!! She is so detailed and responsive. She made my husband and I feel so much better about where we were booking our honeymoon. She also made it so easy- we gave her a budget and a few ideas of where we might want to go and she came back to us with options that were all suited to our wants and needs. She booked everything from flights, ride to/from the airport and our stay. She also finds you the best deals possible! Although you pay a small fee for this service, I believe it ends up saving you money in the end, it definitely did for us!! 10/10 would highly recommend!!

Bermuda Honeymoon

We are so thrilled that we used Ann and Shared Adventures to make our honeymoon planning a breeze! She gave us a few hotel recs, picked 2 amazing tours, and was super responsive when a tropical storm was blowing in on the last day of our trip lol. We can't wait to plan a lifetime of family vacations with Ann!

Cannot recommend highly enough!

Ann and the Shared Adventures team were so wonderful for our 2-week honeymoon to Greece! I have never used a travel agent before, but the thought of planning a big special vacation was daunting. From our initial phone call, Ann was amazing. She listened to what my husband and I were looking for in our honeymoon and planned a trip for us to 3 parts of Greece that all felt different! Everything was easy and managed well once we got there - the hotels were beautiful and clean, the private drivers were on time and safe, and the planned excursions were fun and allowed us to explore the local area. Perhaps the biggest surprise of all is that Ann planned this unforgettable vacation UNDER OUR PROPOSED BUDGET! The experience was amazing, and I'll definitely be contacting Ann for future vacations. :)

Above and Beyond

One of our friends recommended Ann from Shared Adventures to help plan our honeymoon. We were overwhelmed with wedding planning and we so glad we went to them to help us schedule our trip. Our honeymoom was amazing. We were sent an app that had all the travel information and confirmations all in one place. They handled everything from flights and hotels to helping us find fun experiences and excursions to do on our trip. We had an issue with the Resort at one of our stays, no fault to Shared Adventures, but Ann was quick to answer my call and went above and beyond to help handle our issues. If you are looking for help on planning your honeymoon. This is the place.

SO glad we did this!

Since we got married in 202, we weren't sure when we'd be able to travel and have a proper honeymoon. I reached out to Ann in 2021 and we decided that 2022 would be the year. Ann helped us narrow down where we wanted to go. She asked us what we wanted out of our honeymoon and activities we'd be interested in. With that, and the budget we had in mind, she gave us a couple of choices and we decided from there. Ann was so helpful in helping us decide and then sent us different proposals. Since we planned so far out, the process was a little bit longer - the airfares and hotel prices weren't out yet. We literally only had to say yes and no to things she suggested. After planning and replanning our wedding because of COVID, it was so nice to leave someone else to do the heavy lifting. Our whole itinerary was sent to us a couple months before our trip. We didn't have to worry about anything. It was probably the best decision we made to work with Ann!

Ann was the BEST!!

Things we loved about Ann's service that we want others to know!
The initial phone call - she listened to all of our wish list items and sent us beautiful properties that met all of our wishes!
Responsiveness- We were so grateful for her quick and very clear e-mail responses. It was very reassuring to know that she was so easy to get into contact with.
The List to Choose From- This was AMAZING! She sends you a list of resort choices to choose from. This was very inclusive and there was such a wide variety of locations. Her willingness to do additional searches and how hard she worked to find us beautiful rooms while staying within our budget was so appreciated. The format she sends walks you through each vacation location. It really gives you a great idea of what each place would be like to visit.
Help with Covid -19- She was on it! She gave us plenty of time to prepare and plan for tests. She provided resource links and very clear instructions. When the rules changed, she notified us immediately. We were so grateful to know that in the days leading up to our wedding when we were running around, she was paying attention to the ever changing covid rules for us.
Activities & Booking- It was so great that she was able to help coordinate these bookings, as well as, provide recommendations on things she has personally done or known other travelers have enjoyed.
We highly recommend Ann for all of your travel plans!!

Best Agent Around!

Ann helped us with everything from the overwhelming decision of where to go, making sure we get the honeymoon perks, navigating traveling during COVID, having to postpone our travels due to COVID, and navigating our first time facing flight delays. We will absolutely be using Shared Adventures for our next travel!

Dream Hawaiian Honeymoon

After hearing about our friend's honeymoon to Hawaii that she booked with Shared Adventures, we just knew we had to reach out to Ann! She made the planning process so easy and fun. We loved that she was responsive and had such great recommendations for us. Ann took care of booking the hotels, car rentals, inter-island flights, and some of our excursions. We planned on originally traveling to Hawaii in 2020, but with the pandemic we delayed it. We were SO happy we made the decision to delay, because our honeymoon was everything we could've ever dreamed of for our trip. Ann was great at communicating all the Covid updates for Hawaii during the planning process. Lucky for us, the Covid guidelines were dropped prior to our trip making it stress-free!

We traveled to 3 Hawaiian Islands (Oahu, Kauai and Maui) for 2 weeks. We did roadtrips around the islands, road ATV's, hiked, snorkeled and ziplined. The highlight however was our Doors-Off Private Helicopter Tour with Mauna Loa Helicopter Tours in Kauai, which Ann booked for us. It was surreal flying along the Napali Coast.

We highly recommend booking with Shared Adventures for your honeymoon or vacation! We can't wait to plan our next adventure with Ann!

Best trip of our lives!

We found Ann through a friend who had used her to plan their honeymoon. She was extremely responsive throughout the whole planning process. She set up a call to discuss our interests so that she could find resorts and excursions that we'd love. We already had a destination picked, but needed help with everything else. She kept us updated on Covid protocols in the countries we'd be in.

Everything she planned for us was incredible. All 3 excursions she booked were fantastic. Our entire honeymoon went off with no issues (which is incredible since travel right now is pretty awful)

I highly recommend the Canary Islands for anyone looking for an amazing vacation, and I would give Ann a 10 out of 10.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have recommended ANNIES ESCAPES successfully to my clients. Annie recently helped us to find the perfect family vacation. I have travelled all over the world in my lifetime, but I have never met a travel agent that is so sensitive and caring. She worked hard to make sure that we were fully happy with what we were looking at, and to make sure we knew exactly what we were getting in our package. I am sad that we did not get to go due to my husband's health, but when he is better, I know that Annie is the girl I will call to ESCAPE!!!
