What People are Saying
Melissa was a pleasure to work with. She took care of every detail of our trip to London, and enabled me to enjoy the trip without having to plan everything myself. The hotel that she found for our family (after our Airbnb cancelled on us) was the ideal setup - she really listened to what we were looking for and delivered. Having her help in putting together our itinerary was a huge relief, and I have already used her for another trip that we are taking in February - I don't envision planning any trips without her again!
Another amazing trip planned by Melissa! This was my second trip within 3 months planned by her and truly amazing. I was worried as we got closer because of issues going on in France and Melissa made sure I was comfortable and kept me posted from our hotels and her contacts. She was always available if I had questions while on vacation. Her recommendations were some of my favorite highlights of the trip. I cannot wait to plan another trip with her! She is the best !
Working with Melissa was the most top of the line experience! I had never worked with a travel agent before and now, I will always be calling her. Melissa is patient, dedicated, helpful and truly a pleasure to work with. She is always available and ready to answer any questions. My mom and I started with not having any idea what to do, where to go, what to see, we just knew the cities we wanted to visit and told Melissa “we do not want to look like tourists.” She took this, and ran with it. From the hotels, to the tours, she gave us the most incredible experience. She made sure we were happy and always asked for our opinions before anything. I would refer her to anyone I know. Grateful for Melissa and her expertise!
