The Perfect Vacation

Reviewed By Amy - Santa Clarita, CA | Traveled to Cinque Terre ~ Italy ~ Europe
Jodi’s recommendation to stay in Santa Margherita and Portofino were perfect for us. We rode bikes around Santa Margherita taking in the beautiful coastline our first day there. The second day she recommended the train that runs through the 5 villages stopping in Vernazza to have lunch in a castle seaside then hiking along the Cinque Terre back to Monterosso. We met so many awesome travelers on our hike back. Spent a day at Parragi Beach swimming in crystal clear waters then exploring Brown Castle. The whole trip checked off everything on our wishlist. She’s the best!

Florence Tuscany Charm

Reviewed By Arda - Studio City, CA | Traveled to Florence ~ Italy ~ Europe
We flew into Rome, enjoyed pizza along with the Trevi Fouintain and the pantheon before taking the high speed train to Florence where we spent three nights. Fell in love with the food, the art, the architecture, and the Italians. The Uffizi and Duomo were a dream. We got lost in each place for hours, just taking in the art, the architecture, and history. The Duomo has a strict dress code to adhere to which Jodi advised us on prior to our arrival. We really appreciated her setting us up for success on our couples getaway. After Florence, we rented a car and headed into Tuscany to enjoy the country side for a couple nights. Explored some vineyards and relaxed poolside at this cute castle converted into a dreamy hotel with the most lovely little farm to table restaurant. We can’t wait for the next time we can explore more of Italy’s magic.

Most Magical Trip

Reviewed By Eileen - Marina del Rey, CA | Traveled to Oahu Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Jodi helped us to create the most magical itinerary for our family's stay at Disney's Aulani Resort in celebration of our daughters birthday. For starters, all our accommodations were prepared before our arrival for our infant and toddler, and our villa was fully stocked with everything we could need including every outlet being baby-proofed. Our stay was the perfect balance of family activities such as our private meet and greet with Disney characters, Luau, snorkel catamaran excursion, ukulele lessons, hula class, and plenty of beach and pool time. She also arranged for my husband and I to have some couple experiences at the spa, stargazing, golf, and the most romantic beachside dinner. She also made sure that I had time to pamper myself at the spa for much needed mom time. Every need was anticipated for our family and our schedule was perfectly synchronized to accommodate nap times and meals.

We look forward to working with Jodi for all of our family's future trips!

Girls Trip

Reviewed By Brenda - Grants Pass, OR | Traveled to Maui Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
We wanted a girls trip to Maui for myself, my sister and our daughters and granddaughters. We wanted something special and were able to make it all happen thanks to Jodi's expertise. We enjoyed whale watching, the lavender farm and spa days. We even took a drive up Hana together. We laughed, we smiled and we cried and we cherished every moment together. Who knows when a trip like this would happen for us all again so we were incredibly grateful to Jodi. It was truly a most memorable vacation!

Last Minute Family Trip

Reviewed By George - Philly | Traveled to Hawaii Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Planning a last min vacation when you have no time and several opinionated family members is not easy. I am glad I had your help, and someone to text for questions. You were so responsive. The flights were really good. Everyone sat in a good spot.
The Jeep was perfect for the location. Several times I was happy we had it.

Everything worked out for the best for the whole trip. We were glad we did not stay in Kona and loved all the places you booked for us. You really took care of all the items on our wish list. Loved the condo, the beach, condo pool, Fairmont, Waikoloa, Akaka falls, botanical garden, dining in Kona and Hilo, shopping in Kings n Queens shops etc.

I am glad we used your services. It really worked out. We had a great time on this trip!! Thank you very much!

Big Island Magic

Reviewed By Tracy - Portland, OR | Traveled to Kona, Hawaii ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Jodi really knows the gems on the Big Island. Her recommendations were so personalized to my desires to experience on the Big Island. She heard my every request from my food preferences to the coffee farm tours to the Kilauea lava flow and stargazing. She threw in a couple of extra things I hadn’t thought of but absolutely LOVED. She’s super detailed and very communicative. She even checked in on me while I was there to see how my trip was going and see if there was anything else I needed. I appreciate her thoughtfulness and attentiveness.

Milan Escape

Reviewed By Sarah - Mission Viejo, CA | Traveled to Milan ~ Italy ~ Europe
Jodi’s insights were great in helping us plan our time in Milan. I was looking for a long romantic weekend in Milan while traveling through Europe. One of our favorite memories was walking along the Naviglio Grande Canal in the evening then grabbing dinner at a lovely café right by the canal. And of course, shopping via Montenapoleone area was so much fun! Apparently Jodi really loves to shop because she knew the best area to go not only in Milan but Paris too! Her love for travel really shines when sharing the best places to visit. We recommend her to everyone!

Romanic Anniversary Trip

Reviewed By John - Montecito, CA | Traveled to Lanai Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Working with Jodi was easy and effortless. She payed attention to what we wanted for our anniversary vacation and tailored our itinerary accordingly. We appreciated that she took care of every detail for our stay at Four Seasons on Lanai! The airport greeter was waiting for us and took care of our luggage. Once we arrived to our room at Four Seasons there was a beautiful tropical arrangement for my wife which Jodi hand picked. The couples massage was exactly what we needed and felt so relaxed on our anniversary. The dining under the stars experience was unforgettable and the perfect ending to our romantic day together. Our trip was a dream and we look forward to using Jodi for our next vacation!
