What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from travelers who trusted our team to plan vacations that felt seamless, personal, and thoughtfully designed

“Working with Rob Saxon was an extraordinarily positive and joyful experience. Ever mindful of our travel goals, Rob took thoughtful care to design a magnificent trip with many memorable moments: we explored the heart of Paris, enjoyed the luminous Loire Valley, and visited the moving sites in Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. We greatly appreciated Rob’s commitment to matching our time, tastes, and budget with amazing tours, guides, hotels, and excursions. We look forward to working with him again soon!”

Sandi R

French Adventure

“From the beginning of planning our trip, Rob was so helpful. He made it so that we could just get on the plane and go. Every little detail was taken care of. Transportation, accommodations and day trips went smoothly. I would recommend Rob to anyone who is looking to travel. So professional and knowledgeable. Thanks for a great vacation”

Valerie M.

Summer in Provence and the Cotswolds

“Working with Jennifer was absolutely amazing and most importantly STRESS FREE. She checked in with us at n important days with reminders and set up the perfect honeymoon for us! Absolutely recommend working with her, she has all of our trust!”

Jake G.

Caribbean Cruise

“Melissa has planned out three of our vacations over the last decade. I can book a condo at a beach, but if we want an unforgettable trip and don’t want to miss a thing, I contact Melissa. When I say “plan”, I mean it. Anxiety makes planning vacations a nightmare, but Melissa makes dreams come true!”

Pagie H

The Bahamas

“Melissa has planned many trips for us over the past few years. She has done Disney trips, Disney cruises, Royal Caribbean cruises and even planned our most recent trip to New York City. She is extremely knowledgeable and always gives us great hints and tips before we travel. She is very quick to respond to emails and gets quotes out quickly. Because she has personal experience visiting many places, she can recommend locations which she thinks best fits your family, and she truly wants her clients to have the best vacation possible.”

Jill A

NYC Experience

“Jenn was extremely helpful in planning my family’s recent trip to Hawaii and a pleasure to work with. She came up with a great itinerary that fit our schedule and handled all the flight, hotel and rental car booking. Jenn was easy to communicate with during all stages. I will definitely use Jenn as my travel agent for future trips and will recommend her to anyone I know who is planning a vacation or other trip.”

FAQ

Still have questions?

A travel advisor helps you sort through the noise, compare options, and make confident decisions based on your travel style, budget, and priorities. Instead of piecing everything together alone, you have expert guidance, personalized recommendations, and support through the planning process.

We start by learning about your trip – where you want to go, who is traveling, your budget, your preferences, and what matters most. From there, we research options, make recommendations, refine the plan with you, and help coordinate the details before you travel.

In some cases, yes. Planning fees vary by trip type and complexity. We may charge research fees for custom or complex itineraries, and planning fees may apply for theme park vacations, cruises, and trips that require detailed itinerary support. We will always explain any fees clearly before moving forward.

Yes. Depending on the destination and trip type, we can help with resorts, cruises, vacation packages, tours, transfers, theme park tickets, dining guidance, special experiences, and personalized recommendations to make the trip feel more seamless.

You are not on your own. While we cannot control the weather, airline delays, supplier policies, or unexpected disruptions, we can help guide you through next steps, connect you with the right contacts, and provide support when plans need to shift.

We plan a wide range of vacations, including theme parks, cruises, Caribbean and Mexico resorts, Hawaii, Europe, honeymoons, family vacations, and custom itineraries. If your destination is not one we specialize in, we will be honest about whether we are the right fit.

The earlier, the better – especially for popular destinations, school breaks, holidays, milestone trips, and cruises. Planning ahead gives you more options, better availability, and more time to make thoughtful decisions.
