Amazing Caribbean Workcation Getaway!!

Reviewed By Global_Wanderer - Oakland, CA | Traveled to Aruba ~ Caribbean
Paula helped my girlfriend and I plan our 5+ week workcation trip to Aruba. This was my first time using a travel agent and I am so happy we did.

We knew we wanted to get out of the US and enjoy warm weather. We were thinking about Aruba, Barbados, and a few other locations. Paula took the time to really understand our needs and wants (warm weather, good internet, nice beaches, low chance of COVID exposure, good health care system, in case one of us did contract COVID). Paula helped to secure lodging that was within our budget that met our needs. She also helped with planning activities while we were there. We gave her some ideas of what we wanted to do and she helped make suggestions from reputable companies and handled all of the bookings. It was nice to not have to worry about scouring Tripadvisor and other internet sites trying to find good reviews on tours, restaurants, etc. We had a great trip - did not want to come back. I will certainly use Paula again for future trips

Acropolis to Santorini: perfect Greek holiday

Paula has been my “go to” person for travel for more than a decade. Her knowledge and expertise has reduced my stress level immeasurably. She has always made even the most complicated travel clear and manageable. Whenever I start to contemplate a new adventure, my husband always says, “time to call Paula!” Our recent three-week trip to Greece was beautifully planned, with personal tours to all of the major highlights: Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Naxos plus a trip to Delphi and the soaring monasteries of Meteora. Not just a history tour but a foodie tour and cooking class, too. Her in-country specialist, Curbys, knew exactly how to make this trip perfect, even during this time of Covid.

Paula was a joy to work with for my trip to Aruba. My boyfriend and I were nervous about traveling during these times, but I always felt at ease with Paula who made sure to keep us up to date with all the protocols. We were staying for a little over a month so we had more specific needs than the average traveler, but Paula was able to accomodate all of them. She provided wonderful ideas for excursions on our days off before we got to Aruba as well as during our trip. She also made great suggestions for places to eat and was even able to help find an amazing restaurant right on the beach for my boyfriend's birthday. I truly couldn't have done this trip with Paula and extremely grateful that she is my travel agent.

My girlfriend and I have used Paula for several years now to help plan our vacations. We no longer to the DIY approach (bunch of Google searches, checking Trip Advisor, and hoping for the best). I have learned that an amazing travel agent can really enhance your travel experience.

Paula is extremely attentive and very communicative. She always asks the right questions and makes sure that our trips fall within our budget and interests.

Paula planned our St. Lucia getaway a few months ago. Paula handled everything - booking the flights, booking the resort, and even making dinner reservations for us. She helped us to find the perfect resort for our budget. The resort was an all inclusive with butler service and very reasonably priced. She also provided some great restaurant recommendations. We gave her a list of things we wanted to do and she helped to ensure we booked the fun excursions and properly spaced them out so that we had fun while not being overly stressed.

Free Diving Fiji

I found and selected Paula from a number of Agents who are familiar with the South Pacific, specifically Fiji. Her task - show us new parts of the country aligned with what we want to do in Fiji - free diving on a beautiful home-reef.

'Good' free diving is not something that is easy to identify or find via the internet, but Paula set out to understand what it meant to us and then built a 'sampler' trip so we could visit three new Fijian locations with an eye on finding us a great home-reef free diving experience.

All three locations had fantastic home-reefs, and the last was free diving heaven - along with being a truly amazing resort.

Paula nailed the logistics associated with moving from one resort to another. There was never a moment when we faced uncertainty on what we needed to do next. That along with locating something as hard to define as 'good home-reef free diving' made for a great trip.

We were very happy with our experience with Paula a

I have never worked with a travel agent before. After weeks of gathering information, I realized the logistics of a trip of this magnitude would be an undertaking. After a few days of searching and deciding I wanted to deal with someone local to me, I came across Paula's information. From our initial conversation, Paula was such a pleasure to deal with. She provided suggestions, and listened to what kind of trip we were looking for. Throughout the months, Paula stayed engaged with me and provided timely updates and information as she received it. Our transportation that was organized was seamless, and my wife and I had the most incredible time. I had even reached out during our trip to attempt to book a helicopter ride through Paula. Which again, she was quick to respond and provide me options. Our trip was 10/10, and Paula as a travel agent was 10/10.

Customer Testimonials

Cook Islands vacation post Queensland conference

After receiving an invitation to speak in Brisbane, we asked Paula Demmer to help us plan our trip through the South Pacific. She helped us select based on considerations of attraction, weather, and cost between the South Island of NZ, Tahiti and the Cook Islands. She asked us a number of questions via email and phone to get a good sense of what we liked. Then, she suggested two destinations, Rarotonga and Aitutaki, and mapped out a plan for visiting them that included two lovely places to stay, suggested tours and activities. We enjoyed the Aitutaki lagoon tour with food, ukulele music and out islands. The bungalows at Sea Change and Pacific Resort Aitutaki that Paula arranged for us offered the most beautiful views my wife and I can recall ever having seen in a resort: 180 degrees of tranquil lagoon with the surf crashing dramatically on the surrounding reef! We definitely recommend Paula Demmer to plan a trip to the South Pacific; she did a fantastic job! Five stars!

Incredible Barcelona to Venice Cruise & Excursions

I have to tell you that all the arrangements that you made for my family have been giant hits. I so appreciate all your help and no matter where we live you will always remain our go to person for all things travel. The Capri tour was incredible! Barry said that Cindy and Mom raved about their experience. He also said that the Barcelona tour was outstanding, so much so that the next day as they had a tour in France as a cruise excursion that it paled in comparison. He has sung your praises a number of times and I wanted you to know.
