Reviews From Our Guests

Here's what our Hosted Journeys members have to say about our trips:

"Daniela was so very helpful in booking our tours she made sure everything was as perfect as could be. She had transportation waiting for us to connect to the airport to the ship. She was very thorough in planning and if we had any questions she explained. There was no worries at all for us she had every detail covered!" - Susan


"As an experienced traveler myself, it was great having all the details taken care of. There are many “do’s and don’ts” depending on the destination and Daniela will share these with you. She always sends important reminders and tips that can make your vacation much more enjoyable." - David


"It was great working with Daniela on this cruise trip to New England and Canada. The trip was enjoyable, and stress free. She brings a wealth of knowledge, and was very helpful in making this an awesome trip. She even helps with the little details. We ourselves had planned to make this trip in 2020, but the pandemic stopped our plans. I’m thankful that we let Daniela plan this trip. She helped us to avoid many headaches that we didn’t think about when planning our earlier trip. She sent reminders of when to check in with cruise line, what documents would be needed, and other helpful info on traveling. And with her and her family on the trip with us, we were able to learn many things about the cruise industry, and travel vacations in general, that we weren’t aware of." - Wade


"A wonderful experience never worry" - Dan


"Daniela is a great resource for travel trips and to help make the best vacation plans. She recently planned and hosted our group Alaskan Cruise. It was loads of fun and she was very knowledgeable throughout the entire process. This was not our first experience with Daniela and it won't be our last!! I highly recommend her for all your travel needs!" - Amy


"Daniela was a great host and kept in regular contact across many months while we waited for our trip to begin. She also helped us with many questions along the way. I would highly recommend her for any of your travel needs." - Andrew
