Maryann is great plans every detail just have to show up have good time
The Great Rail Journey's tour on the Rocky Mountaineer and Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto was a fantastic trip. The scenery was awesome. The Rocky Mountaineer was so comfortable and the Canadian felt like a vintage train trip. The food on both trains was plentiful and gourmet. The tour was well organized, allowing me to participate in group activities as well as time for some personal ones. All the staff we dealt with were knowledgable, friendly and efficient with one exception: the transportation that was to take me from my hotel in Toronto to the airport.
Mary Anne gives peace of mind for booking any trip. She offers advice and tips you would never think to ask. She will find a deal for your group. I will definitely use her for our future vacations. She is patient, kind and always available to answer any questions.
It was a beautiful trip the best I took in a while thank you for a good time do it again- Patty B.

Have been on many bus tours with different planners but none as organized and professionally done as Cruise Planners.
Thank you so much for all your help. As a first time cruiser I had a lot of questions that you tube did not answer and you were always quick to respond. Your suggestion of were to book our cabin was perfect. Where we were on deck 7 was not noisey, had no unwanted smells. and the a/c and hot water worked great. In talking to other cruisers MANY had these types of problems. Again, thank you for your help.- Linda C.

Fun cruise for our 40th anniversary. Mary Ann did a great job with our booking.
My son and I loved the trip that Mary Anne planned for us. The trip was much better than we expected. You can ask her any questions and she will find the answers. I know because I don’t believe there was a question I missed. I was a first time cruiser and knew what was going to happen every step of the way.
Maryann Freeman w/ cruise planners took care of everything for us from the 1 night hotel in Vancouver, transfers, flights, excursions, and things to do in Fairbanks where our tour ended. So nice to not have a single worry or surprise on the trip! It was a great trip. Perfect weather, clear view of Denali the ENTIRE time we were there, AND, the naturalist that conducted our tundra tour in Denali Nat'l park was great. We saw 15 grizzlies- a record for him doing it for 15 yrs! I will definitely keep using Maryann for any travel plans I have. Connie Anderson- Constance A.
Maryanne called me and told me about a Royal Caribbean cruise I had mentioned wanting if there was a good deal to travel solo. Boy, did she find me one! She took care of everything and told me not to worry, that was her job and to call her if anything went wrong. Everything went great, and I even got upgraded to a balcony. She goes the extra mile, and that is why I'm glad to have her as my travel agent. She has booked 2 more for me. - Constance A.
