Wish Travels is amazing. Kristy was always quick to respond, even while we were in Mexico and I emailed questions. Other travel agencies just stop helping once the vacation begins, but Kristy kept being there to support us. She is a blessing and provided us with a vacation of a lifetime. I trust her completely and feel blessed she organized our vacation. Thank you for everything.

Margaret at Wishes did an exceptional job helping me to plan our Disney trip. She booked wonderful restaurants, a fabulous room, and walked me through all the ins and outs of Disney’s lightening lane. She provided tips, packing lists, and all the facts we might need for our trip. Disney World can be daunting but with her planning it was simple and wonderful.

Krista Smith with Wishes Travel did a WONDERFUL JOB planning a family cruise vacation for 11 members of our family
For March 2025. She is such a sweet person to work with and always looks ahead to prepare for everything we might need. I cannot say enough good and positive things about her making our trip go so smoothly for a large number in our party. She was courteous and even made a last few day change per our request concerning a shuttle company. She even got me a refund in such a timely manner. This is the 4th trip Krista has helped me or my family to plan. We have really liked working with her and she has lots of information to offer. Unfortunately, google will not allow me to add another review for this page, so I edited and added on. Below, you can read my review about our Hawaii cruise trip from 2023.

In Nov 2023, We had a wonderful experience with Krista as our travel agent for our 1st Hawaiian vacation by cruise. She made everything so easy to plan and finalize. She kept me on track in a busy time for me due to my son getting married on our farm just 10 days bf vacation time. (She also booked an amazing honeymoon for our son!). She made sure I stayed on track in a timely manner so I was able to book all the excursions I/we wanted to do. She was always patient with me and kept me informed. I highly recommend using her or someone from Wishes Travel for a great experience.

This is the second entire vacation that Christina Pettinelli has planned and executed flawlessly for our family! I can’t say enough good things about how well she communicates, researches options, and follows up on everything before, during, and after the trip. It is extremely easy and I notice no difference in cost than if I had booked it all myself. Christina makes the process seamless. Thank you so much for the excellent and wonderful vacations that have made lifetime memories for my family!

What a fantastic experience from beginning to end! Our agent, Katie Adams, is just the BEST! She listened to our wishes 🙂 and budget! What a great trip and even came in under our budget! We had a great week in Germany exploring Frankfurt, Rottenburg, Wurzburg (loved it so much we spent two days and didn’t make it to Nuremburg for the day), and Heidelberg. We loved this trip even in the rain! Our hotels were spectacular with so much history and kindest staffs at each one! We look forward to planning more trips with Katie and Wishes Travel!

Unfortunately, Google won't let you post a review more than once on the same site even for a different trip so I've had to edit over my review on the wonderful trips Christina Pettinelli previously planned for us to Hawaii and Iceland to review our recent trip to Africa.

Going to Africa has been my husbands and my dream trip for over a decade now. Christina Pettinelli at Wishes Travel was able to make it happen for us this past September. She put together a fantastic 18 day trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana that far exceeded our dreams. All 5 of our “camps” (they were technically tents but more luxurious than most hotels I’ve stayed in) were fantastic, with staff that couldn’t do enough for you. We had our own guide and jeep on virtually every safari drive and saw every animal we were hoping for plus many more. A trip to Africa should be on every animal lovers list and you should definitely have Wishes Travel and Christina plan it for you.

My wife Laurie and I wanted to go to Scotland, we finally decided to make the trip, however since this was our first time, we were not familiar with the area. I reached out to a good friend and she recommended Wishes Travel/Sam. We contacted Sam and he said he would meet us for lunch to go over what we would like to do in Scotland. We met and laid out our thoughts, asked for his recommendations, he showed to be well versed and knowledgeable. Within a few days we had a nice packet with a 1st pass itinerary. We had a few questions, Sam was right there when we called to answer those questions. When that was done we confirmed the itinerary. Once we had the final pass, he said we could meet again to go over any last minute questions, we met again for lunch. We felt comfortable with our schedule and what was provided. Sam was there if we had any questions or if anything went wrong logistically. It was a great experience and we will definitely use Wishes Travel again. Thank you!!
