Every trip with Lillian has blown me away
"Lillian planned two wonderful trips for our multi-generational family of 12 to Europe on a cruise and Peru and Machu Picchu. She made every day an adventure booking unique and fun private excursions. One highlight in Europe was going to the farmer’s market in Aix en Provence then having a private picnic and wine tasting at a local vineyard.
Another amazing experience was taking a boat to a remote island in Lake Titicaca, Peru and hiking and mingling with the indigenous people there. We also had a special dinner held for us at a museum in Cuzco after hours. She is excellent at logistics, knows how much time to spend somewhere and is very creative in the way she approaches things."

Finding Happy in Uruguay
I’m in Montevideo, standing outside our hotel in the tony neighborhood of Positos, a beachfront enclave of modern condos. We were negotiating a return time for the e-bikes we were renting. The owner of Orange Bike, who had dropped them off, shrugs. “Just text me when you’re done.” Say, what - ... Read more from my Finding Happy in Uruguay story.
Always Awesome!
Thanksyou!
Amazing trip
Thank you so much for putting your trust in me. Looking forward to our continued collaboration!
Lilllian planned a fantastic trip for us.
From there, Lillian designed a driving itinerary for us to explore Tuscany on our own, which included stops at towns such as Greve in Chianti and Panzano, where we participated in a local wine festival Lillian discovered.
She also booked a cozy farmhouse with amazing views in Castellina. From there, we drove to the Cinque Terre coast and stayed in a wonderful hotel steps from the beach.
We used all her tips to find local gems like hot springs and took advantage of the Trip Plans App, which made it easy to consult our itinerary each day and share it with loved ones at home. Lillian is always available to answer any questions.
Thank you, Sharon. I really enjoyed our collaboration. So glad you enjoyed your trip.

A Last Minute Getaway
I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip!
It was exactly what we wanted!
She is very thorough and thoughtful, even researching and including scenic running routes when she found out we liked to run and picking a hotel that had free bikes to use in Lucca. Her Trip app is really great because it lists the day’s activities, what trains we were taking, what time we needed to be down in the lobby for our transfers as well as information on all our hotels. She also checked up on us and made herself available on Whatsapp. I was thrilled with working with her and hope to use her for future trips.

Lillian is a caring and thoughtful travel agent
When the company sent the documents with the flights, Lillian saw that the connection in Atlanta was too tight so she made them rebook me so I could connect through a smaller airport without rushing. She is always thinking of your comfort and making sure your trip runs smoothly.
Hi, I'm so glad I could plan this trip for you!
Fantastic service
She also was helped me with some complicated transfers in Argentina getting our group of 12 pp from the major airport to the domestic airport. When half of us missed our flights, I reached out to Lillian and within 30 mins, she had arranged for an additional pick up for those of us arriving the next day and was in constant communication with all of us until both groups got to where they needed to be. She gives concierge level service and is great to work with.
Thank you! I am looking foward to working with you in the future!
