Hi Lisa and Staff at Hoppe Travel.
Just a quick note of thanks for setting up this incredible adventure to Ireland. The highlights of this trip would fill an entire e-mail in itself, but of most significance to each of us were the people we met, the people we encountered and vistas we witnessed. From the Cliffs of Mohrer to The Ring of Kerry, From the Irish Sea to Galway Bay every turn brought about another awe inspiring view. Special kudos to our CIE tour guide, Declan Ryan, what a treat it was to have HIM share his country with us for 7 days. Slainte’

Hi Lisa,
I wanted to drop you a note and let you know that our honeymoon to Bora Bora was more than we could ever imagine! Romance, pampering, beautiful view, I could go on forever! The staff was amazing and the kitchen was very impressive! My wife and I both agreed that when we are ready to go on vacation again we are going to give you a call.
Thank you very much for such an unforgettable time!

Dear Lisa and Staff,
I just wanted to send you a quick email to thank you for everything you did to put together our wonderful honeymoon in Thailand. It was absolutely amazing – we had the time of our lives! Everything was planned out so well and we really didn’t have to worry about anything. We got off the plane in Bangkok and our tour guide was waiting to help us. The private tours around the city were fantastic and all of the activities were exactly what were had expected and wanted! Hopefully we will be able to make another big trip in the next few years and we will DEFINITELY be using your services again. You were all such a pleasure to work with and I would certainly recommend you to anyone looking for a travel agent.
Thanks again for all you have done for us,

We had a great time! Our favorite island was probably Maui, but we liked them all! We kept VERY busy. Our favorite activities were: snorkeling in Molokini Crater, the zipline tour, and hiking almost 8 miles in 5 hours on the Kalalau Trail to Hanakapi’ai Falls in Kaua’i. We have some amazing pictures to show for it, although, we almost lost them all when I dropped my digital camera card into a river when crossing it on our last day… Luckily, after about 10 minutes, Nick found it between 2 rocks caught in some weeds… thankfully, all our pictures were fine!
Everything was great! Just one glitch, since we rescheduled the waterfall hike, we ended up scheduling it on the same day as the snorkel tour! Fortunately, we were able to call and reschedule one of them… so everything went smoothly. The hotels were great, the car rentals were great. It was really nice having a car on all of the islands, we were on our own schedule and could always get to where we wanted to go. If we called ahead, restaurants and places of interest were always able to tell us where to park for the least amount of money.
Thanks again for all of your time and your help planning our trip…

I just wanted to extend my thanks to all of you for helping us have a great honeymoon. The Dominican Republic and the Excellence Punta Cana Resort far exceeded our expectations. The weather was excellent and the service was exceptional.

Lisa and Staff,
Our honeymoon to the Sandals Grande St. Lucian was everything we had anticipated and more. We really enjoyed our honeymoon swim-up lagoon pool room and felt completely relaxed and pampered our whole trip. The resort is beautiful and we had all of our needs met. We had an amazing time and your agency helped make all the planning smooth and easy. We will not hesitate to use your travel agency in the future and we plan on taking many more vacations!
Thank you,
Amber and Chris Gierach

Ireland was a great trip and we had a great time enjoying the sights, learning the history, meeting the people, eating and drinking (Jameson and Guinness). I have included several photos that you can put into your website. One is Sharon and I in front of Pat Cohan’s Pub in the town of Cong. This is the Pub filmed in “The Quiet Man”. The second photo is a group shot at the Rathbaun Farm near Galway. The third is the gals with Molly Malone in Dublin. Our whole group had a wonderful stay in Ireland. The trip gave us an insight to this wonderful country. Thanks for helping us set it up.

Greetings Melissa and Lisa,
We had a wonderful time at El Dorado Royal. The swim up room was very nice and the food at the resort was some of the best we have ever had. I would highly recommend the Karisma Resorts. We did Rio Secreto and the Coba/Mayan Village tours. Both were excellent in that they showed the wonders of the Yucatan and its people. Attached is a couple of photos from the trip. Thanks for the recommendations and setting up the trip.

The excursions were awesome! Wish we would have a had a little more time at the Tulum ruins to explore the beach and definitely more time at Xel-Ha, to do more snorkeling and we got cut 30 minutes because of the location of our resort. Xcaret was definitely a whole day excursion, wish the snorkeling would have been more eventfull, and I would suggest both river snorkel adventures (the underground was neat, but wish we would have done the other one also.) Oh also, our Apple rep. booked us for Xcaret on a day that they don’t pick up from Tulum, so we needed to change our excursion to all-inclusive without transportation and got a cab (which was okay because we had no time limit.) The Coba Mayan Adventure was really neat and we got to experience a lot of new things. Wish we could have gotten to do a longer zip line, repel and kayak; a lot of driving. I would definitely suggest to do all-inclusive on all the excursions.
The resort was great and pretty quiet like I requested. We would love to go back and stay at a busier/larger place with people to meet and hang out with. We ate at all the restaurants except the sushi bar, they were all very good; salads were great at all. We bought all our souveniers and gifts from the local vendors the two nights they were in the resort’s plaza. Also, I wish we would have been there one more day, to enjoy the beach and pool a little more. We would definitely like to go back to the area again and see Cozumel, Playa del Carmen and more.
Thanks for everything! I attached some photos
Thank you very much Lisa. Hopefully we’ll be coming back for more travel needs as time goes on. There certainly are a lot of places I’d like to travel and things to see. My guess is a cruise would be next in store. Attached are a few of the more fun and beautiful pictures from the trip. The IMG ones are from Sans Souci and the P ones are from the sunset in Negril. We’ll keep an eye out for the check.
Thanks again,
Joe

Dear Lisa and Staff,
I wanted to reach out to you and thank you and your entire staff for helping us plan the most spectacular honeymoon to Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora!
Oh my, it was without a doubt the most amazing experience we have ever experienced in our lives, and we owe a standing ovation to your company for guiding us through all the options and choices in going to the South Pacific.
Your recommendation of the Pearl Beach Resorts on each of the three islands we visited was perfect for our needs and budget. The food was outstanding, the people were friendly, and the accommodations were relaxing yet invigorating. We had a blast snorkeling, horse back riding through the mountains, dining at fabulous restaurants, taking long walks and of course, swimming with sting rays and yellow fin sharks!
In today’s fast paced world, it was so reassuring to use a professional agency such as Lisa Hoppe Travel to help us navigate to the honeymoon destination that best fit our personal style, taste and budget. Online travel agencies just don’t compare to the personalized service and first-hand knowledge we received through your staff’s personal travel stories and experiences of the world’s hottest destinations.
Thank you again!

Marifkes in Peru
Our trip went very well. Our tour manager provided for an excellent trip. The sights were spectacular. The trip was by far the most physical that we have taken. Altitude and hiking gave us a work out but it was worth the effort.
This trip covered most of the sights in Peru. We would recommend it. We were the only Americans in the camp. The expierence we had there was better than we expected. The wildlife expierences we had were phenominal.
We include a couple of photos to illustrate our trip. If anyone is interested in the trip and would like to talk to us, we are available.
