Sue helped us plan our dream trip to Europe. She was very knowledgeable and so helpful in answering our questions and making suggestions. Our trip was wonderful and went very smoothly. We appreciate greatly all the assistance she gave us. We would be glad to recommend her and her services to anyone.

We had never been to Yellowstone nor on an escorted tour. It was a very pleasant vacation, good weather, nice accommodations, no delays or other malfunctions. Sue always does a good job both in setting up the trip and advising us, in this case, which tour group to use.

We had a great time. The Honua Kai is a wonderful resort and well suited to families. It had something to offer for all my grandchildren aged 14 to 4. I would recommend it.

Superb Travel Agent

Once again, Sue nailed it. This is the third trip she has planned for us and we couldn't have had a better time. We had a budget to work with. I planned out what I could come up with. I challenged her with a minimal budget and she provided us with so much more than we could do ourselves. We always know that when we put our vacation in Sue's hands we will have an incredible experience. We highly recommend working with Sue Bethke.

We approached Sue with our desire to see Italy, asking her recommendations and expert advice. She presented us with several different touring options and when we chose the one that best fit our needs, she took wonderful care of all the details. Our trip was fabulous. We will recommend Sue's service to others and use her again for our travels.

Sue planned another successful vacation for us. The flights were timed perfectly with no sitting around airports. Everything worked well. She gave me a few ideas for excursions which proved helpful. I'll be calling on Sue for our next trip.

Sue made our family "reunion" the best time ever. She had to deal with three families (questions, recommendations). Even after our reservations were made she continued to check for special deals from Disney, and was able to save us a lot on the meal plan I have used Sue and Travelex before and have always been happy with what they have done for us.

As usual, Sue Bethke did an excellent job planning our Alaska cruise. We value her opinion and she's never steered us wrong regarding the cruise ship line (the best cabin, amenities, etc.), and precruise hotel. Sue has planned our trips for many years and we value the relationship we have with her.

We have had Sue plan several trips for us. As always, she goes above and beyond for us. This latest trip was no exception. Sue takes our age, interests, and activity levels into account when planning trips; it's as if they are tailor-made just for us!! There's no reason to plan a trip with anyone but Sue, because she nails it every single time.

Not only did Sue give me all the information I needed to make important decisions, she ironed out a problem that occurred during the trip. The cruise line upcharged us for a premium drinking package that had already been included in the initial deal. The cruise line would not admit to the discrepancy. After the cruise, I emailed Sue and within a day I had my $300 back. Great perk to working with someone knowledgeable and willing to go to bat for you!!
