What Our Clients Have Said……
My one stop shop for all things travel … both business and pleasure .. thank you!
Kim MonkhouseI’ve had a lot of travel booking experience with Rhiannon Dunkley. However the team of Kathy Shane and her are a dynamic duo. At the recent Business Summit in Melbourne, these ladies couldn’t do enough. Arranging late checking check outs, platters with complementary cards. Outstanding service. Thank you Elite Destinations.
Debra NorthKaty did a great job of managing the logistics for our Elite Retreat to Bora Bora. It truly was the trip of a lifetime! She managed so many details for multiple venues and events. Thank YOU, Katy for an incredible trip, filled with memories!
Barbara KoskolosKaty and Rhiannon helped assist our group with travel plans from the USA to Tahiti. They made the process so easy from afar, answering all our questions quickly via email and social media and was quick to call by phone when necessary. Their accommodation choice for us while in Tahiti was first class in comparison to the other choices available and I am so happy they did their research in advance to find such a magical place to stay at that covered all of our needs. Highly recommend Katy, Rhiannon and their team for their professionalism and for the time and loving care they placed into our travel plans to ensure we had the best time of our lives. Thank you, Ladies.
