Vivian is a very experienced, knowledgeable, dedicated and passionate agent who really gets “customer services”. Working with Vivian has been a real pleasure, for the second time. Vivian came highly recommend to me last year by my in-laws who continue to rely on her expertise. In a nutshell, Vivian is “amazing” and her knowledge and customer service is “top drawer”. Vivian helped me weed through the mire of deciding whether to “cruise with my mother” versus “bus tour with my daughter” without my mother. In the end, the bus tour won the day over. No detail was left unfinished and all my questions were researched with fulsome answers provided - the pros and cons, and also Vivian’s personal perspective/experience honestly shared- added value which I very much appreciated. The trip was a huge success with amazing experiences and memories that I will treasure for a lifetime. More recently, planning a cruise with my mom fairly “last minute”, I knew my time was extremely limited for research and planning so I just sent an email to Vivian with travel date availability and asked her for her thoughts – and it’s been “smooth sailing” ever since. As was the case last year, I’ve relied heavily on Vivian’s perspective as I look to offer my 88 year old mom the best opportunity/options possible, considering good value for money, of course. Both my mom and I have been impressed by Vivian’s responsiveness, her commitment to providing the best information for good decision-making and generally the sense of confidence in the decisions made. Vivian is extremely thoughtful, honest and thorough in her responses to questions and goes above and beyond. She offers to help in any way possible. As someone who works in an environment that promotes/expects high quality on our journey to excellence, I wanted to recognize Vivian’s commitment to excellence.
