30th Anniversary Trip
What they asked for…
A special trip to Switzerland and Italy to celebrate their 30th Anniversary. They wanted to renew their vows in Venice.
What I gave them…(Laura)
A few days in Zurich, where they toured Mt. Pilatus and took a relaxing lake cruise in Lucerne. They had first-class train travel, ideal accommodations, and a well-built itinerary that allowed them to enjoy each destination.
Their testimonial…
We have Laura to thank for every unforgettable moment!!! From start to finish, she planned a flawless vacation that was smooth, stress-free, and filled with once-in-a-lifetime memories!!! One of the true highlights of our trip was visiting the breathtaking village of Mürren in the Swiss Alps — a peaceful, picturesque escape that felt like something out of a storybook. Laura made sure our time there was seamless and magical. Then, just when we thought it couldn't get any more special, we renewed our vows in the heart of St. Mark’s Square in Venice — a moment we will cherish forever. Everything was timed and arranged perfectly, down to the smallest detail. Laura didn’t just plan a trip; she crafted an experience we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives.

England, Scotland & Ireland
What they asked for…
Two couples who wanted to experience the highlights of London, Scotland & Ireland. They preferred private tours over large group tours. I spent time listening to their wants and explaining options in each location that would fit their travel style.
What I gave them…(Mandy)
I crafted an itinerary that focused on the must-see destinations and locations with a few specific, focused items. My favorite tour for them was a trip to the town of Cong in Ireland for a John Wayne "The Quiet Man" Tour. If you've been to Cong, then you know there's a statue in the town of John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, and the pub seen in the movie is still there on the corner.
Their testimonial…
Mandy is wonderful! This was the second trip she planned for us, and she absolutely nailed it! She took the time to learn what was important to us when traveling and checked every box. From hotels (locations, vibe, and comfort) to tours (locations, timing, and encompassing what we wanted to experience), she set up the perfect trip. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her dedication to making our vacation amazing!

Egypt
What they asked for…
Egypt was the last location on her bucket list of destinations; she was concerned about safety, but also wanted to visit Jordan (Petra) and see the Pyramids and other historical locations.
What I gave them…(Tiffany)
I explained the security measures in Egypt and Jordan, and let her know I had just visited a year earlier. I let her decide whether to proceed. She decided to move forward, so I crafted private experiences, including 5-star accommodations, a private driver, and a guide. They had wonderful hotels, a stay on a river cruise on the Nile, and internal flights, all coordinated with my in-destination partner.
Their testimonial…
We are sitting in the airport getting ready to head home. I want you to know that this was a fabulous trip. Every detail was handled beautifully. The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. Individual private tours are the best!

Adventure in Cabo
What they asked for…
Help with tours and transportation in Cabo.
What I gave them…(Laura)
I designed a highly personalized getaway for this couple with very different needs in the water. The husband, an expert scuba diver, wanted multiple dives during the trip. His wife, who can no longer scuba dive due to permanent hearing loss, wanted to enjoy snorkeling safely.
I arranged for a private guide who stayed on her deaf side at all times, ensuring comfort and security. Because she is also prone to motion sickness, I built in time for her to relax on the beach while her husband completed three separate dives.
To add a cultural dimension, I also organized a private tortilla-making session in a local’s home, complete with seamless round-trip transfers. Every detail was designed so both travelers could enjoy the destination in ways that suited them best.
Their testimonial…
I can’t say enough good things about working with Laura to plan our trip to Cabo. From start to finish, every detail was handled flawlessly, and every question was answered. She tailored the trip perfectly to our wishes, even arranging a private boat so my husband could dive while I snorkeled — the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Her care and attention made all the difference.

New Year's Escape
What they asked for…
A trip during the festive season to celebrate the New Year as a family. They wanted Quebec or Montreal for their family of four.
What I gave them…(Tiffany)
Created an itinerary starting in Montreal with a stay at the beautiful Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac, a private walking tour, and tours of the villages of the Shrine of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre and the Beaupre Coast. Then off to Le Baluchon with a stop for lunch at the Sugar Shack Experience. They stayed at Le Baluchon to ring in the New Year with a sleigh ride, dog sledding, and lots of outdoor activities. Then off to the beautiful Ritz-Carlton Montreal before departing for their return home and the start of 2025.
Their testimonial…
Tiffany coordinated and planned a fantastic holiday trip for our family to ring in the New Year! We shared our preferred location and “style” of travel, and she came up with a great itinerary that allowed us to see and do so much without being overwhelmed. From booking the hotels, guides, drivers, and transfers, she handled every step of the process. The provided itinerary app was a great reference during the whole trip. Tiffany was engaged throughout our entire trip, and if any questions or concerns arose, she handled them almost immediately. We would highly recommend her services for the peace of mind of planning an exceptional trip!

England
What they asked for…
A trip to the UK to celebrate their 50th Anniversary, for the couple, their adult child, and their spouse. They wanted bespoke experiences at all locations during their trip.
What I gave them…(Mandy)
I gave them 5* accommodations, private drivers, and guides. They enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour of Buckingham Palace, explored filming locations around York, and discovered many small surprises along the way.
Their testimonial…
Mandy was an absolute pleasure to work with! She’s knowledgeable, dependable, and communicates quickly. The tools she uses to present trips and track payments are simple and user-friendly, and her travel app kept all of our tickets and details organized while we were away. She responded immediately to texts, which gave us so much peace of mind. This was my first trip with Mandy—and definitely not my last. I’m already planning my second and telling all my friends about her!
