Here are some 5-star reviews from past Red Birds Travel clients.
"We have booked 7 cruises with Denise so far! She is so amazing and she remembers every conversation we have had about we like and not! Denise is on top of all of our vacations and I would never book without her!! She’s always available—even while we’re on the road—and makes sure every aspect is seamless. We couldn’t recommend Denise more highly."
"Denise is amazing to work with and she planned an absolute perfect 30th Anniversary trip for us! And when we had unforeseen weather-related travel issues on our return home, Denise spent the better part of her weekend staying connected and assisting us on an alternate plan to ensure we got home safely and efficiently! 10 out of 10! We will most certainly use Denise’s services again and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a perfect vacation!"
"I had the most amazing experience booking my cruise to the Bahamas with Denise! From start to finish, she was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. She provided me with all the best tips and tricks to make the most of my trip, from insider recommendations on excursions to packing advice. The best part was that she even secured an onboard credit for me, which made the cruise even more enjoyable! I truly felt taken care of every step of the way. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to book a seamless and unforgettable cruise vacation!"
"I would like to enthusiastically endorse Denise. She planned a weekend stay for a large group of my friends. My Savannah weekend stay started with a spacious room at Suites by Hilton on the riverfront. It has great amenities such as a rooftop pool and fire pit. Denise found fun activities and venues for our group, including dancing at several nightclubs within walking distance of the hotel and a fun night at a piano bar. We also went on a ghost tour. Denise also researched restaurants and we had a great meal at Moon River Brewing Company. A fun shopping trip at River Street Marketplace and beach time on Tybee Island rounded out the weekend. I would be happy to have Denise plan another trip for me."
I was born and raised in Maine. I love Bar Harbor, and Acadia National Park. I headed to UNCC for college and fell in love with Charlotte, North Carolina (and the warmer weather). I met my husband in college, and we've been married for twenty years. I have two teenagers, two cats, and a very spoiled pup named Riley. I built Red Birds Travel in honor of my late Mom, who lost her battle to cancer. The red bird finds me everywhere I go. She travels with me in spirit, and she is my Gurdian Angel.
* You get a totally tailored trip.
* You are in expert hands, as agents know about different locations, types of vacations, and the latest deals and discounts the travel market has to offer.
*You get a stress-free travel experience knowing your agent has the booking arranged, requested any travel documentation necessary, and will handle any issues that arise on the trip.
*You save time and money, as the agents "curate" all the options finding the best experiences at the price points for your budget.
* Their services are FREE! They get paid commission by the vendors that they book your trip to, and often send you to places they consider to be their favorite, having traveled there themself.

I have a family of agents and mentors that support me if I am looking for suggestions for clients or needing help with a vendor.
