My Reviews

What a perfect trip!
My husband and I loved working with Trish. From her attention to detail to her fun personality, she planned exactly what we asked her to. Our trip to Greece was spectacular and a trip we will never forget. She even checked up with us when we arrived home to see how the trip went. Trish was a true professional.

Dream trip to London and Paris!
Trish was great to work with. She was a constant help to my husband and I as we planned our trip to Paris. This was our first time traveling to Europe and we had no idea where to start. Trish made us feel comfortable and planned our dream trip to London and Paris. We will definitely be using Trish to plan our future vacations.
