Allison did an outstanding job planning our family trip to Alaska aboard the National Geographic Venture. Her expertise, thoughtfulness, and genuine care made this an unforgettable experience for our entire family.

What meant the most was the extraordinary attention Allison gave to ensuring my 92-year-old father was comfortable and well cared for throughout our travels. She thoughtfully considered his needs every step of the way, allowing him to fully enjoy this special family experience and giving all of us tremendous peace of mind.

Allison’s attention to detail allowed us to focus on what really mattered—experiencing Alaska together and enjoying precious time as a family. Her warmth, compassion, and personal commitment truly set her apart. We are incredibly grateful for the memories she helped us create.

“We could not have asked for a better experience on our Alaskan cruise with Silversea. From the very beginning, Allison with Oh The Places Travel made sure everything was thoughtfully planned and that we felt welcomed and taken care of.
Some of our favorite experiences were things we will never forget—spending a beautiful morning on the water in Kenai Fjords and Resurrection Bay watching the abundant sea life, an incredible helicopter tour and dog sledding adventure, and even river rafting in Valdez, something I never thought I would do and absolutely loved!
Allison planned wonderful experiences for us both during and after our cruise, and the helicopter tour and dog sledding was definitely one of our favorites by far.
If you are planning a cruise or vacation, I highly recommend reaching out to Allison. You won’t be disappointed!”

Allison planned an amazing trip to NYC for our family to celebrate my granddaughter's 10th birthday. Every detail was amazing, from your little one wanting to ride the hop on & off a second time, to seeing her enjoy the museum, the play, and, of course, brunch at the plaza! Our tour guide for the day went above & beyond to make sure we had an amazing day! We met the nicest people, from our drivers to wait staff; they made NYC shine! Thank you, Allison!!!

Our Trip to Southeast Asia:
We recently booked a cruise through Strong Travel. Allison Owens was our agent. Allison was patient, efficient, through, and generally outstanding. She walked us trough the booking process with amazing speed and grace. She took care of all the booking process for six countries, air line tickets andall transfers. This was a 30 day cruise. There was no problems during the entire trip. All transfers were timely and smooth. The cruise was wonderful. Great food, service, wonderful suite, I highly recommend Allison and Strong Travel. I will use them in the future for sure.

We especially loved the beachfront dinner and the snorkeling boat tour; both were unforgettable experiences. Thank you for the lovely surprise in our room — such a thoughtful touch that made us feel truly special. And most of all, thank you for handling every detail of our trip so seamlessly. We couldn't have done it without you!”

“After hearing great things about Costa Rica, my husband and I reached out to Allison Owens to help us decide where to go. Thanks to her expertise and understanding of our travel style, we just returned from the trip of a lifetime. From private tours, spa experiences, and incredible dining — Allison handled every detail. The resort she recommended was perfect in every way, with exceptional service, unforgettable meals, and world-class amenities. We can’t wait to return — either to explore more of Costa Rica or revisit the exact same resort. Allison nailed it.”

I want to take a minute to tell you about my friend Allison Wisener Owens and her travel business, Oh The Places Travel! I wanted this trip to be perfect and I had no idea how to pull it off. She did everything for me! I got great flights, the perfect room on the ship, and I never felt like I didn’t know what to expect. She booked me hotels in Athens that were reasonable and in safe neighborhoods. How would I have known? I can’t recommend her enough!

After my wife’s decade-long recovery from brain surgery, we were finally ready to travel again. I turned to Allison Owens, who spent weeks thoughtfully planning our first big trip. She listened to our concerns, eased our jitters, and arranged everything—first-class flights, ground transfers, spa and dining reservations, an oceanfront room, even a detailed itinerary with a packing list. The trip was seamless, and when we returned, my wife said, “Call Allison for our next vacation.” We won’t travel again without her.

“Allison planned an extraordinary family Thanksgiving trip to Honolulu and Maui, handling every detail flawlessly. Our private Maui home, seamless inter-island transportation, and exclusive in-home experiences—including cultural dancers, a private chef, and a lei maker—created a level of luxury and personalization we had never experienced before. Her responsiveness, trusted vendors, and thoughtful touches—like arranging a photographer to capture lasting memories—made this a truly once-in-a-lifetime trip for our family.”

My son and I recently had the pleasure of using several travel guides through the assistance of Allison Owens. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The guides were not only knowledgeable but also very personable, making each location come alive with fascinating stories and historical insights. The tours were well-organized, with a perfect balance between guided exploration and free time to wander. The attention to detail was impeccable, from the seamless transportation to the thoughtfully selected stops that showcased the best of each destination. Whether we were exploring city streets or serene natural landscapes, the guides ensured we got the most out of every moment. I particularly appreciated the insider tips on local restaurants and other hidden gems that we would have otherwise missed on our unguided moments. Allison, you were wonderful deal with and I cannot thank you enough for the way you made the trip effortless.
