After a positive first interaction, we received one proposal for our trip to Dublin and Edinburgh. The proposal was outside the stated budget, and when it was not accepted as is, we got the brush off. This was definitely not a positive travel experience.

We LOVED working with Amy at Vacation Designers! She helped us book our 2 week long honeymoon trip and she made it SO easy and helpful. While my husband and I planned our wedding, it was nice having someone who loves their job helping with our travel needs/wants for the honeymoon and knowing we didn't have to worry/stress about it. We gave her ideas of what we were looking for, a budget, and she suggested Hawaiis Big Island & Kauai. We are so happy we said YES! Amy gave us links and ideas of what we should look into while we are there. Especially suggesting Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours was absolutely fantastic! And our hotels... AMAZING!Trip of a lifetime and the AXUS app she told us to download worked like a charm with our car rentals/flights/hotels all in one place. Overall, Amy has amazing communication (even when she was sick, she still reached out to us when we had questions-bless her heart! ❤️) great ideas that fit our styles and cares about YOU! Travel is her passion and it shows. Thank you Amy! -Karmen $ Mitch

I would highly recommend vacation designers and specifically Amy was great to work with. We used vacation designers for our honeymoon. Usually, we don’t use a travel agent, but with our wedding, we didn’t want to have to do any more planning for our honeymoon to Jamaica. Amy booked everything for us, flight, resort, transportation, and some excursions. We loved our resort. The AXUS application they use made it very easy to have all of our travel information in one place. Another thing I really appreciated was the communication about required travel documents and requirements, which is necessary with changing COVID requirements for various countries. Overall it was a great time for a reasonable price and I would use vacation designers again when booking a trip.

Terrible margarita, wait staff clueless, catfish was excellent, veggies and rice were cold. We have been there several times before and food and staff was always great

We recently booked a trip through Lori Derauf at Vacation Designers to Costa Rica.
Our connections, accommodations and suggested trip options were all on time and excellent. We stayed in a cloud forest, by Arenal with a view of the volcano from our hotel room, and at Manuel Antonio with a view overlooking the ocean. Our stay could not have been any better. Highly recommend Lori.

Great detail on final travel plans with lots of knowledge of the areas that we were looking at as we sifted through the options. We saved a lot of time money by having Lori help with our Roman Holiday and will have a better vacation because of it.

We've used Vacation designers twice now, once for Italy and once for New Zealand, and they've been amazing both times! Our agent, Lori, really takes the time to understand what we want, and build a custom vacation package around that. They are never pushy, and will help you stick to your budget.
This was so much better than trying to plan the trip online ourselves. I didnt think i needed a travel agent until i met with them. Its so easy and gives you peace of mind. Next time you travel give Vacation Designers a call.

Great Experience working with Jenni and the team. They were responsive, quick to answer questions and did great work. It took a lot of the pressure off of us in planning our vacation. I would recommend them to anyone.

We could not get anything beyond some really generic and overpriced recommendations. Felt like a waste of an hour long phone call, hike out to waunakee for an offuc meeting, multiple followup emails. Once they knew was had som money to spend on travel, it seemed like only the most overpriced options were present. I got a better deal on an expensive Arizona spa resort by calling myself rather than relying on the quote they got me. Same with flights - absolutely no consideration for cost whatsoever. We are not low budget travelers, but aren't willing to pay for overpriced travel because the time isn't put in to compare the options. Pretty darn disappointing.

I want to send out a huge Thanks to Jenni and the Vacation Designers team. They recently planned my first dive vacation for me to the Cayman Islands. We had 5 nights on Cayman Brac and another 4 nights on Grand Cayman. As you can imagine there were a couple flight changes, buses and cabs involved to get to our final destinations. Everything was seamless. Our vacation was laid out for us in a folder with all research and documents for our records. We were given perfect directions to navigate the airports and find our appropriate shuttles. All transportation was waiting for us and all 15 of our Scuba dives were great with no problems. I have no intentions of ever stressing myself out trying to plan another vacation. Leave it to the Experts and give Jenni a call. Oh and forgot to mention we saved money on the trip by having them plan it because as an agency they were able to get discounts unavailable to us trying to plan ourselves.
