She arranged for us to fly in to Anchorage and then travel by train to Seward. The train ride, with a meal, was a great experience allowing us the opportunity to view the beautiful scenery in a comfortable setting. While in Seward, we went on a Wildlife Cruise and were entertained by all different types of wildlife. The next day we boarded the Celebrity Summit and set out for our 7 night Alaska Southbound Glacier cruise. We cruised to Hubbard Glacier and then enjoyed days at port in Juneau, Skagway, Icy Strait Point, and Ketchikan. We appreciate all the planning and attention to details that Dawn did for us! We would highly recommend her to our friends and family!

Just returned from a 10 day adventure to Ireland planned by Donna Geist with DWB Vacations LLC.  Our group of 8 including 5 teens/young adults had a fantastic time. Donna made all the arrangements including 6 days with a local guide and it was truly unforgettable! We got to stay in a castle and experienced kissing the Blarney Stone, seeing the the Cliffs of Moher, touring the scenic Ring of Kerry, and exploring Dublin, Galway, Clifden, Dingle, Cork, Tralee, and Killarney. Donna planned a fabulous journey that surpassed our expectations.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Travel Agent’s Name (Donna Geist) Donna was absolutely amazing as our travel agent! She helped me with every single detail - from choosing our destination, to picking the best resort for our needs, to planning excursions and more! She was much more than a travel agent- she was like a personal assistant! Super responsive and so so helpful! I thought agents just book the trip- she went above and beyond for us! I truly don't think our trip would have been so successful without her guidance. We traveled to Costa Mujeres for 6 nights and stayed at the Majestic Mirage All-Inclusive.

Donna Geist is an excellent Travel Agent! She has booked several trips for me, including a vacation with college friends at a very nice all-inclusive resort, as well as a great cruise with my husband. She pays attention to every detail and thinks ahead for those little things that you might need! She does her research with energy and enthusiasm, and always has great suggestions, but is willing to listen to what her customer wants. She’s the best and I highly recommend her!

When I needed some answers she was there for me. She did not disappear on me after the trip was booked. She made sure to check in along the way to ensure we were happy with every aspect of the plans. Would recommend. Will be back. Thanks again Donna!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a wonderful vacation planned by Quinn Willard for us to share with our 2, 6 year old grandsons.  We stayed at the Polynesian Resort for 7 days.  The whole trip was planned for us including meal reservations and hints to make visiting the parks easier. This is our second time using Quinn as our Disney expert.  She is so well informed, I try to follow her advise as closely as I can and have recommended her to several friends.  You can't go wrong.

From answering ever email to even answer texts when we were over there and i had questions Anna never made us feel anything other than a friend who she was helping. All the details she set up for us was so helpful navigating for the first time over seas and i have recommended her so many times and i know my fiends and family have also loved how Anna produces wonderful adventures curated just right for each group! Anna is amazing and i can't wait to book with her again!

Anna from DWB Vacations made our honeymoon to Spain absolutely unforgettable! From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our budget and the kinds of experiences we were hoping for, and somehow turned that into a perfectly curated trip that exceeded every expectation. She planned an incredible itinerary for us through Madrid, Granada, and Seville—each stop felt perfectly balanced with activities, exploration, and time to relax. It was clear how much thought she put into every detail of the journey. She was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, always quick to answer questions and offer thoughtful suggestions. What really stood out was the itinerary she created—it wasn’t just a schedule, it was a complete guide to our trip. It included helpful tips, detailed recommendations, and little touches that made navigating each day feel effortless. I actually printed it out and carried it with me everywhere—it became my go-to resource and made the whole experience so smooth and stress-free. Because of Anna, we were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment of our honeymoon. We had an absolute blast and made memories we’ll cherish forever. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone looking to plan a seamless, personalized, and truly special trip!
