"I had the best experience working with Melissa to plan our family’s recent trip to Europe. "
She was thoughtful, thorough, and extremely responsive. Melissa helped craft the perfect itinerary that matched exactly what I wanted for this very special trip. From hotels to restaurants, everything was wonderful! I will absolutely be using Melissa for our future travel, and I can’t recommend her enough!

"Melissa planned a once in a lifetime family trip for us to Corfu, Greece."
From our very first conversation, Melissa was professional, thoughtful in her planning, and creative in her ideas. She went above and beyond to make sure that every aspect of our trip was perfect and tailored specifically to our family.
From fabulous hotel options, ideas about excursions, tips for flights, restaurant reservations, transfers, etc., she didn’t miss a beat. She even provided a detailed trip itinerary, which was so convenient during travel. What really sets Melissa apart is the care and effort that she puts in. She was always available and really cared about making our trip unforgettable. Melissa is a true gem and I can’t wait to plan our next adventure together!

"Melissa tailored a trip for our family—the most incredible European journey to Mallorca
and Barcelona."
She crafted a perfectly balanced itinerary that gave us the best of both destinations, from breathtaking views in Mallorca to unforgettable cultural experiences in Barcelona. Every detail was handled with such care—seamless airport and hotel transfers, thoughtfully planned day trips, and wonderful local recommendations that we never would have found on our own. Melissa made the entire process effortless for us; all we had to do was enjoy ourselves. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and personal touches turned our vacation into an experience we’ll treasure forever. We can’t imagine planning another trip without her.
