Customer Testimonials
Stress-Free & Amazing!
Melinda made planning our trip to the Quebec Winter Carnival an absolute breeze! She booked our hotel, created a day-by-day itinerary, and was very knowledgeable about the city, giving us tips on what to pack and where to find the best local food. Everything was perfect and Quebec during the Winter Carnival is a must!
We had such an incredible time that we just booked with her again for this year! If you’re looking for someone who’s professional, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about creating amazing travel experiences, Melinda is the one to call. We can’t wait for our next adventure!

England Vacation
A lovely way to see England! The countryside villages were charming, and exploring London with a guide helped us uncover hidden spots. If only we’d had just a bit more time for shopping in Bath, but overall, a great experience!
Camden was fantastic for anyone who loves music and art.

New England Foliage Tour
This was truly the best way to experience New England's charm and history. We were told by everyone that the leaves were especially vibrate, but the hospitality, food, and cozy mountain inns were exactly what you think of when you picture New England. The music scene was a surprising bonus. We took a couple of curated craft beer and cider tours and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys that kind of thing. The history was cool too. We spent two days in Boston and, as a photographer, the juxtaposition between the historic, sixteenth and seventeenth-century buildings against a backdrop of modern skyscrapers was wild.
Do yourself a favor and TRY the clam chowder.

Incredible!
The trip was a perfect mix of history, art, and relaxation. Exploring Florence’s hidden alleyways and vineyards near Verona felt like stepping into a storybook. Everything flowed seamlessly, and we felt like royalty the whole time. Worth every penny!

Romantic Italian Anniversary Experience
Ten years ago when my husband and I got married we couldn't afford a honeymoon, so we made a private vow: on our 10th anniversary we would do something amazing. I didn't even know where to start! Melinda at took the time to get to know us and brought us a few options in our budget and went to and we decided on the Amalfi coast and it was spectacular. We started in Naples, then Mount Vesuvius, and we went on a boat to Capri, and somewhere in there, my husband and I fell in love all over again.
We chose Melinda at Carlisle Travel because she came referred, and we're very glad we listened.
