Beautiful Venice
We had the best trip of our lives! McKenzie gave us great food and activity recommendations. We even stepped out of our comfort zone and went on a kayak tour through the canals, it felt relaxing and adventurous all at once :)

First Europe Trip Made Easy
McKenzie was the biggest help! I travel regionally for work but had never been to Europe and there was a lot I hadn’t even considered. McKenzie worked out a perfect itinerary for our week in Monte Carlo and the surrounding areas! Planning this stuff can be a huge headache but she took care of it and I just got to relax. Worth every penny

Mexico
Everything about our experience was great! Our trip was priced very fairly, especially for a very upscale all inclusive resort. Loved that we didn’t have to mess with any of the planning or details, which would have taken hours I’m sure. Just an awesome experience.
