    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!

    Mrs. Rakes was very helpful and knowledgeable about locations, options, and additional places to stay and things to do!

    Christine Rakes was extremely knowledgeable and used that knowledge to help organize a fantastic honeymoon that my fiancé and I are looking forward to!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!!

    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 planned a reunion destination trip for me and two friends to celebrate our 50th birthdays in Mexico. We were provided with outstanding options on where we could go and our trip exceeded our expectations. We appreciated the extensive research conducted and the personal attention and care that Chris gave us in ensuring our trip was memorable and carefree. We will use Total Experience Travel again!

    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

    Chris did an amazing job with our honeymoon planning! We had no clue what we wanted to do so we told her what we liked and she gave us lots of ideas and different things we could do based on our budget! We are so excited for our honeymoon and cant wait to see how amazing the place we are going is!

    Christine was such an incredible help in our honeymoon planning, asking all kinds of great questions to understand what it was that we were looking for in this trip. She is incredibly responsive, friendly, positive, and professional. And I enjoy following her adventures on social media- they give me great ideas! I would definitely recommend her services to other couples.

    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.

    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.

    Chris, thank you for doing such a wonderful job of planning this hosted European vacation for my extended family. Overall I would rate it an A. Everything went smoothly and we had a great time both on the hosted tours and on our own. Thanks again for all your hard work, patience and extra effort coordinating between three families. We will certainly recommend your services to others. Sam Q
