EXCELLENT Based on 21 reviews Posted on Adrain MalloySeptember 24, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I travelled with Next Stop Travels to Accra Ghana in August 2025 (8/6-8/14). The trip was planned with periodic email updates and Zoom meetings to provide necessary instruction and guidance. This was very invaluable. We found Tanya to be a very hands-on agent but not overbearing. The trip went off without a hitch. The accommodations were first class (lodging, meals, & transportation). The sites we visited were very informative and we had fun. We had a great group. We highly recommend Next Stop Travels to plan your trip(s) and we hope to travel with Tanya again.

Thank you so much Adrain. So glad you and your husband joined your trip. I enjoyed having you both and I look forward to servicing you again on another one of our group trips.Posted on LuxeSeptember 20, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience traveling to Ghana with Next Stop Travel. It was a group of eight. We toured Accura, Kusami and the slave dungeons in Cape coast. We stopped at three different villages, visited museums, enjoyed a welcome dinner, tons of shopping, received our African names and even got to dance to the sound of welcoming drums. This was a lifetime experience. I will always travel with Next Stop Travel, LLC.

Thank you so much. Im glad you enjoyed your Caribbean cruise and we hope to see you again on the next one. Thanks for your review on our Ghana Trip. Glad you came and enjoyed yourself. Not sure why this review erased your review from the Caribbean cruise.Posted on LaVerne WalkerJune 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Next Stop Travels (NST) is an exceptional top-tier travel service that truly elevates your travel experience. I've had a long-running dream of revisiting the enchanting southwest, particularly the breathtaking Antelope Canyon in Page, AZ. With my excitement bubbling over, I reached out to Tanya at NST because, honestly, I just can’t handle the stress of travel logistics. From the moment I shared my travel plans with her, Tanya was all ears, making sure to understand my vision for the trip. The moment my travel companions and I landed, our adventure—the Great Desert Escape—began! Imagine the thrill of stepping off the plane and finding our rental car ready and waiting—as my sister would put it, that’s living in ‘high cotton’! Just a quick ride later, we settled into our cozy lodge, and each tour was not only top-notch but packed with education and adventure. It was the perfect combination of comfort and thrill, making this trip truly unforgettable! Thanks NST!!!

I would highly recommend using Next Stop Travels LLC to book your next adventure. Ms. Tanya Barnes was very attentive to my desire to book my first cruise to celebrate my retirement. She answered any questions promptly and was very knowledgeable. The 8-day cruise will always be a fond memory that I will cherish forever. Thank you so much Tanya!

Sunshine Travels did an AMAZING job on our girls trip to Jamaica! Tanya did an awesome job planning and keeping us informed along the way. The excursions Tanya chose for this trip were very good with even a few surprises along the way. I never have to worry about the itineraries or what's in store because Tanya is thoughtful in her planning and usually plans things that everyone can enjoy. This is my second trip with Sunshine Travels and I look forward to the next. I highly recommend them for a top notch experience. You won't be disappointed!
