10 things to know before you book, from how the days are paced to which adventures work best for little ones, teens, grandparents, and couples.
I had a couple booked on an Adventures by Disney Rhine River Cruise when the river's water levels started dropping. I stayed in close touch with Adventures by Disney every step of the way, so my clients always knew exactly where things stood. When conditions didn't improve, Disney and AmaWaterways worked together to rework the itinerary, and my couple still had an amazing trip.

A multigenerational family came to me wanting one trip that would truly work for everyone. I matched them with Greece: Legends of Athens, Santorini & Crete, an adventure with something to delight every age. I fit the whole family into just two rooms and booked their flights, so all they had to do was pack and look forward to it.
