TRAVELER REVIEWS:

  • "Perfect travel agent to plan your trip!! From beginning to end Shay was was informative and assisted in all my trip needs. She gave great suggestions on excursions and places to visit. The website was very helpful for the guest attending the trip, they always had something they could refer to. Making payments was seamless and very reasonable. I will not be planning anymore trips myself instead having The Travel Diaries plan them for me. Will definitely be using them again for my next trip."

This girl is the life of the party and both ladies are down to Earth! It’s because of this trip that I’ve decided that travel is part of my culture! I’m beyond thankful for this experience with this group of people! I had such a great time that I’m already booked for Tulum in 2023!"
