Honeymoon in Jamaica
“If you’re looking for an incredible travel agent, your search can end here…Canning Travel Inc. is simply the BEST.
Ann Canning worked with us to plan a honeymoon that only dreams are made of. She listened to all of our “wants” while considering our budget. Ann gave us plenty of options to consider. We spent a week at Sandals in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We had never stayed at an all-inclusive resort, and it definitely did not disappoint! We were treated like a king and queen for a week (as she had promised!) Ann kept us informed about changes to our itinerary (very small change, but important nonetheless) weeks in advance. Booking through Ann ended up getting us some perks (for example, a free massage once we were at the resort. Hello, relaxation!) Overall, I cannot speak highly enough of Canning Travel Inc. and I look forward to working with Ann in the future. If you want an incredible vacation where you don’t want to worry about a thing, use Canning Travel Inc. You will not regret it!
PS – We live in Ohio and she worked with us from Illinois, so she can help you plan your vacay no matter where you live (because she’s the best, like I said!)” —Veronica Walsh
Honeymoon at the Excellence Resort in Playa Mujeres, Cancun
“Let me start by saying that our honeymoon could not have been more perfect! Both of us stepped off that plane and found ourselves right in the middle of paradise! All the stress of the wedding planning process just slowly melted off the longer we were there! We had such a pleasant experience with Lomas travel company, and had no issues finding them at the airport and no wait at all for our ride to the resort! They were so friendly and professional.
I can’t say enough about how helpful and easy it was to work with you in planning our honeymoon! After getting off the phone with you that day and reviewing the package choices, you made is so easy and stress-free to pick a perfect honeymoon destination! We so appreciated it when you were able to call the resort and get the room we wanted for the dates we needed! Our honeymoon was everything we dreamed it could be and more and both of us plan to start saving to make it back there one day soon. We will be recommending your services to family and friends and will definitely use you again for our next vacation as a couple!! Thank you SO much for everything!” —Alyssa and Jordan from Dyer, Indiana
Destination Wedding at the Riu Palace in Riviera Maya
“I didn’t know where to even begin planning our destination wedding. I was referred to Ann Canning and all of my stress soon faded! From the beginning I had my heart set on a particular resort. Ann found me the best group rates for our large group. She connected me with Funjet and helped me through the entire process. Ann was extremely accommodating to our whole group! Flights and transfers were all in place and there were no complications. With such a large group I was prepared for it to be hectic at times. Ann booked and helped every single person without breaking a sweat.
Our wedding was perfect! She even found us an amazing resort for our honeymoon. It couldn’t have been more beautiful! Everything was spectacular and we owe it all to Ann. I have had both family and friends make mention of her kindness and professionalism. It was so reassuring and comforting to have her on my side! My husband and I are eager to take another trip and can’t wait to make travel arrangements with Ann again!” —Shaina and Santos from Naperville, Illinois

If you are looking for a travel agency that goes above and beyond, Canning Travel is your right choice. Ann Canning found us the vacation that met all of our expectations.

Honeymoon to Sandals Royal Curacao
“We’ve worked with Ann for multiple international, all-inclusive trips and she provides a great service! She’s knowledgable and a great advisor.
The latest trip we booked with Ann was for our honeymoon to Sandals Royal Curacao. We definitely recommend checking this resort out for any couples looking for an upscale, all-inclusive experience in the Caribbean. Ann truly shined when our departure flights were cancelled within hours due to bad weather; she hopped on the phone and worked out everything with Sandals and our airline to ensure we didn’t lose any nights and had the best experience possible.” —Chuck Seymour
Royal Caribbean Cruise to Mexico, Cayman Islands, and Jamaica
“We have planned multiple trips through Canning Travel and the service keeps getting better and better. We are frequent cruisers and we planned a group trip of twelve this time. From the airport transfer to boarding the ship, Ann made sure that every aspect of our trip was perfect. On the ship, all of our cabins were arranged nearby, we all got to sit together at dinner, and every excursion we planned was just perfect. Our favorite excursion by far was swimming and snorkeling with stingrays at Stingray City in the Cayman Islands. We’ve already booked our next trip with Canning Travel and are counting down the days until we leave. We all would without a doubt recommend Ann to anyone who is planning a trip!” —The Price Family from Chicago, Illinois
Honeymoon Mediterranean Cruise
“Ann was amazing!! I heard from her through a friend that had a great experience with her services. My husband and I were searching for a honeymoon destination for after our wedding. Ann helped us narrow down where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do! We decided on a Mediterranean cruise. She not only helped us book everything from the actual cruise and the transportation, but she also answered any questions we had in a very timely manner. We cannot wait to use Ann again for our future traveling plans! Thanks again!” —Breanna Beallis
Vacation in Italy
“Ann is amazing! She has helped us plan two fantastic European adventures: one group trip with family to Germany and most recently a couples trip to Italy! She makes everything so easy and our trip to Italy was PERFECT. We visited Rome, Florence, and Cinque Terre. The hotels were in such great locations, the tours booked were so much fun, and everything went so smoothly. She gave great suggestions and was willing to work with all of our requests. She answers alllllll my questions and always seems truly excited to be helping plan each vacation. I can’t wait to plan our next trip with Ann!” –Ashely VanOpstall
Trip to Australia & New Zealand
“Ann did an amazing job planning our trip to Australia and New Zealand. The flights, hotels and transfers were all very nice with all the personnel being very friendly. She scheduled the bridge climb & Opera House tour both in Sydney. In Melbourne she schedule the Phillip Island tour were at sunset saw one thousand fairy penguins emerge from the ocean and march their way back to their burrows. This was one of the coolest thing I have ever seen. In New Zealand Ann scheduled the Milford Sound Tour where on the boat dolphins were swimming along with us and we saw beautiful waterfalls. A very fun day. Our last tour was bike the wineries, as you can image was another great day. All of our tours were in small very nice vans with only a hand full of other people. All of our tour guides were super friendly and very knowledgeable. We can’t wait to have Ann plan our next trip.” —Marcia Bodda

“We had a great trip, we really enjoyed Maui, especially Surfing Monkey Shaved Ice (it’s the best). Had great tour guides on both Oahu and Maui, and I think everyone loved the Road to Hana…lots of beautiful waterfalls, the views were breathtaking. The condo in Maui was excellent with great amenities. Thanks again for your efforts in creating a spectacular anniversary vacation, we just wish we could have stayed longer.” —Rick from Carol Stream, Illinois

On top of it, she’s a very nice and wonderful person to work with ( and now a friend!)” —Al K
Birthday Celebration in Jamaica
“We had a fabulous 40th celebration in Jamaica! Luckily the weather cooperated with us and was sunny every day, with one evening shower. So the pool time was in full effect. The food was wonderful: buffets, fresh fruits, and the service was incredible. The hotel staff was outstanding: very accommodating and friendly. The pool/bar staff was hilarious and made each trip to the bar a treat! I would certainly recommend this hotel for girl trips or couples who like to eat/drink/pool. Thanks again, Ann, for helping us coordinate this trip! We look forward to planning many more!” —Terri, Julie, Annemarie, and Patti from the Chicagoland area
