I have traveled a lot in my many years and must say I have always enjoyed my trips through Cruise Planners. Diana and Mike take time and consideration in planning trips and everyone is treated with kindness and respect. The trips, and I will mention just one in particular, was the best of my lifetime, the Italian Lake region from Milan to Venice! This trip was spectacular, unforgettable every single moment! Thank you Diana and Mike at Cruise Planners for the experience!- Marilyn P.
I have used Mike and Diana Bogart for all my overseas travel. They were all amazing but the first was the most amazing trip to Tuscany. It was everything you could imagine and more. From the villa to the food to the wine. I can go on and on about the trips I have taken with Mike and Diana. That is why for all of my trips I will and have chosen them to make my experiences memories forever. But I want to emphasize the important of great travel agents. They are the backbone of your planning and they bring your experiences to the next level.

I have used Cruise Planners aka Mike and Diana Bogart to plan all of my vacations My first trip to Europe, the first time to Hawaii and so many many more. I believe it has now been 20 years since I met them. I have been to so many countries and different areas in the same country and it has all been magical. Whether just traveling with a friend or with a group, the trips are always exceptional. They are meticulous planners and like for you to enjoy local experiences that you may not get with other groups. We had dinner with a family in their home in Sorrento, Italy. We had our own boat and driver that took us around Lake Como, champagne included! They find and work with the best tour guides in each area so that you don't miss out on the history and things that only a local knows you need to do or see. We have done the stay in one place and come back from day tours trips; river cruises; and bus tours. They make sure you are prepared ahead of the trip and know what you need to bring with you and wear. They take the stressful parts of traveling off your plate so all you have to do is show up and enjoy! I absolutely recommend using them to plan your next adventure! You will not be sorry!- Cindy E.

Mike and Diana are so wonderful to work with. They are fast, professional, and are very knowledgeable on their products/cruises. They were able to answer all my questions prior to our first cruise and made all the arrangements to make the booking process super convenient.

I was introduced to Mike & Diana Bogart of “Cruise Planner†when I was at a point in loosing all confidence in cruises because of some very unprofessional consultants that I had encountered during my early years of cruising. My group “The Walcott Family & Friends†started cruising in 2001 and I changed consultants on a yearly basis until I was introduced to the Cruise Planners group of Mike and Diana.
I know that I can be very demanding at times, but believe that the mark of a Professional Cruise Planner is the ability to communicate value relative to what is important to the prospective customer and to assure them that they are working on their behalf to help them to obtain the best deal possible.
For the past several years now I have been working personally with Diana but had the opportunity to also interact with Mike on several occasions. Now when I think of cruising, the first persons that come to mind are Diana and Mike Bogart. I have since recommended several persons, groups and newlyweds. With Diana you don’t just get someone who’s is knowledgeable about the industry but you get someone who is a good communicator and whose professionalism is exemplary and excels even more when it comes to her human relations skills. She takes the time to know you, not just as a customer, but as a person. Your cares, concerns and anxieties becomes hers and then she works her amazing magic to alleviate, dispel and relieve them.
Diana has requested that I provide them with a testimonial and my response is evidenced herein. I should emphasize my awareness of my responsibility to any potential customer. I know that Mike and Diana will serve you with utmost dedication and efficiency and therefore would not hesitate to sum them up as “Five Star “quality and in a class by themselves. C Walcott, Brooklyn, NY
