My Areas of Expertise
Truly magical trip
Reviewed By The Taylor family - Charlotte, NC | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
We went to Lori with a laundry list of experiences and locations and Lori listened and did quite a bit of research and provided us with an itinerary at several budget levels. It must have been like herding cats for Lori to take the jumble of ideas and experiences that each member of our large group wanted and put together a comprehensive itinerary. She then spent time with us to further refine, modify and edit the itinerary to provide us with the trip of a lifetime (twice!!). She researched hotels, tours, transportation, tickets, tour guides for a large group of people . It must have been like herding cats for her to try and get this trip together for our group. When we arrived in Italy everything was handled for us. Train tickets, private tours, hotels, airport pickup, etc. we’re handled by Lori. We felt safe and cared for and had no issues while in Italy. We enjoyed our trip so much that we asked Lori to plan a second trip to Italy for us.

RELAXATION AT ITS BEST
Reviewed By EDDIE - greenville sc | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
My wife had most of the contact, but all details were exactly as described and all her recommendations were great. Her advice in doing the VIP checkin at the DR airport was spot on. Nobody should travel without doing it.
Lori Doster responded:
Thank you Eddie! I am so glad you enjoyed your trip and that the VIP arrival services exceeded your expectations. I agree it is a must have for trips to the DR. Can't wait to send you out somewhere again soon.

Working with Lori was great! She was easy to talk to and everything. I will say she did go out of town at the same time we did and the person that I was supposed to talk to in the event of an issue did not respond to me at all so I’m not happy about that.

Lori was extremely helpful during every step of the way while planning our honeymoon. She was very nice, friendly, and knowledgable. My wife and I would have been very confused and overwhelmed if we had to plan and make this trip without Lori’s help. She made the entire process really easy and smooth for us. We would certainly recommend her to anyone who needs to plan a great trip and wants to have as little stress as possible.

Reviewed By Frank - Nichols, South Carolina | Traveled to Europe
Lori provided our family with great service in planning this incredible trip! We couldn't be more pleased. All of the arrangements were absolutely perfect, from the air flights to the hotels to the tours and to the transportation! It was our first trip out of the country and Lori made it all go so smoothly. We had the time of our lives! Europe is truly an amazing place full of amazing people and sights. We could barely take it all in. Our trip was definitely something we could not have done without Lori's help. We were very fortunate to have her plan and advise us. It made it so much more enjoyable and certainly less stressful! We all want to do it again!

Lori was great to work with! I’ve already recommended her to a few friends. I do enjoy planning trips, but it felt so overwhelming to begin narrowing down selections.

She helped us narrow it down to our ultimate choice and answered all our questions along the way. Highly recommend!

An amazing honeymoon experience!
Reviewed By Dani and Miles - Greenville, SC | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Lori was incredible throughout the entire process of planning our honeymoon trip to the DR. We came to her with the idea of: "we want to go somewhere with a nice beach to lay on," and she took it from there, researching the best resorts for us, and giving us suggestions as we needed them. She thought of everything that we wouldn't have thought of, and made sure we had everything in order to make it from the airport to the resort and back. Lori was great at communicating during the weeks leading up to our departure, and made us feel confident in our travels. I highly recommend working with Lori for your next trip- we will definitely be working with her for all of our future travels!
