Second to None
Lisa was the consummate travel agent to assist with my bookings for my once in a lifetime trip abroad to Africa. Professional, responsive, and she went the extra mile to tend to our needs and find out what we were looking for. While we were in Tanzania, we had the full experience we asked for- spending our time between authentic local experiences in villages and seeing the animals in Serengeti National Park, to a relaxing in a cost effective and beautiful resort in Zanzibar. The best of both worlds!

The travel whisperer
I have done multiple trips with Lisa, both inside and outside the US, including Miami, Montreal, and Iceland. She has an unfailing knack for finding the most authentic experiences (and the best flight/lodging deals). She has a talent for sniffing out those great but off-the-beaten track neighborhoods, restaurants, and activities. Her genuine love of travel, culture, and adventure means that she wants you to have the trip of your dreams every time, and she will work tirelessly to make sure of it.

Amazing Nicaragua Adventure!
Lisa planned a trip to Nicaragua for me and a small group of friends over the New Year’s holiday. She is incredible at finding experiences that are off the beaten path and not the tourist traps that everyone else goes to. She designed an itinerary that was based on our specific group’s interests, and the entire trip went off without a hitch. I highly recommend Lisa if you are looking for someone who can provide professional travel planning and has the insight of a local!

Incredible experience all around!
Lisa is amazing and truly the best travel agent I have ever worked with!! She custom tailored our Iceland trip according to our preferences and gave great suggestions for our itinerary that we loved! Lisa planned an incredible trip and coordinated all of our activities with local tour operators - she is extremely organized and provided us with documentation of full daily activity details and tour vouchers well in advance of our trip. Lisa also went above and beyond while we were on the trip to make sure we were informed when there were updates to the tour schedules due to weather, and provided great options for rescheduling tours to fit our schedules! We honestly felt so taken care of before and during the trip and knew we could count on her if we had any questions or needs anytime. I highly recommend Lisa and will absolutely connect with her again for our next adventure!
