Family trip to Italy
As a result, we felt the overall customer service went above and beyond what we could have hoped for and this was all BEFORE we even booked a single component of the trip.
Once we had the framework built out Susan provided incredible recommendations for hotels and excursions, all of which we were thrilled with, and which was no small feat considering we had an age range from 2 to 75 years old. She also has such a depth of knowledge that she was able to tweak and guide certain parts of our trip based on what she knows is happening in the country or region during the time you're going. Some of those recommendations ended up being sanity saving for our family when we saw so many other travelers in more chaotic situations.
It's worth noting that we also had two different groups of family that had trips to Italy at the same time and for a variety of reasons they didn't really enjoy their trip, which was of course disheartening to hear. However, my husband and I fully credit Susan with how overjoyed our entire group was with the trip when we returned home. They couldn't stop raving about the excursions, the expertise of the guides, the solid recommendations about hotels and food.
I truly could go on.
My husband and I are now lifetime customers of Sue and can't wait for our next trip!
I used Susan Blume to plan my honeymoon and have used her ever since to book all our family vacations. She is the absolute best - you need her!
The best trip!
Disney Parks and Cruise!
Highly recommend!
We had previously engaged (and paid a deposit) with a luxury travel agent but didn't feel like we were vibing. I read reviews online about Susan and decided to eat our deposit and work with her instead. Best decision ever. She helped us narrow down our wishlist and come up with a trip to Mallorca and the South of France (France wasn't even on our radar before). She was imaginative, easy to communicate with, and always responsive. Our return flight ended up getting cancelled and Susan jumped right in to help us troubleshoot. Thank you Susan for helping us plan the honeymoon of our dreams! Can't wait to book our next trip with you.
Just perfect!
Overall amazing experience!
