I have lost count of the number of times Ron and I have travelled with Dream Maker Travel but it has been at the very least four or five times.

Western Canada and the Rocky Mountains with an Alaskan cruise, European River Cruise Budapest to Amsterdam with pre and post Prague and Paris (WOW what a trip that was) . Followed by China with a cruise on Yangtze River and an incredible visit to see those Terracotta Warriors.

Most recently our trip was to Japan with a week long Princess Cruise to finish off the trip. As on all previous trips with Hilary and her team, the weather was perfect and the impeccable timing of our arrival into Tokyo ensured that we experienced the magnificent splendour of all the different coloured cherry blossoms on so many cherry trees.

Through our personal experiences, I can honestly say that if you want to have your travel dreams come true, and make the most wonderful memories, join Hillary and her staff at Dream Maker Travel on one of her group tours and you will have the best travel experience possible.
