Just pack your bags and head out for fun!

Reviewed By Traveling Family - Brighton, MI | Traveled to Arizona ~ USA
You cannot go wrong with a vacation planned by Laura at 83° West! She listens to what you desire in a vacation, and provides options that will more than meet your expectations. Her attention to detail and knowledge of opportunities for spectacular fun-filled days are incomparable. And if you prefer quiet days of relaxation, she will do her utmost to make certain that you have that opportunity, as well. Your vacation will be amazing, and the best part of it is that the only thing you will have to do is pack your bag. Laura takes care of everything else! Our trip to Arizona, Utah, and Nevada was the best!

A Terrific Spring Break with my Son!!

Reviewed By Sara - Plymouth, MI | Traveled to Mexico ~ Mexico
Laura was an angel sent from above. From the first time I spoke to her about planning, a huge amount of stress was lifted. She listened to my needs/concerns and offered suggestions that coincided with such. She was always extremely professional, never pushy, and always available to answer any question I had. Laura planned an absolutely amazing vacation for my son and me and exceeded my expectations every step of the way. Her knowledge, expertise, and organization was amazing. I will plan all of my vacations with Laura. The value she brings is priceless and not navigate international travel during a pandemic shows her truly vast abilities. Thank you Laura!! You are simply the best!!

Absolutely stress free! Laura was a incredible advisor on every aspect of the trip. She was well educated and up to date on all travel restrictions, necessary forms, proper documentation etc. She made a trip to Europe in the middle of a PANDEMIC possible and as I said before stress free. Our trip was so well laid out for us start to finish with all the little details thought of. I recommended her to my sister and she had a similar experience to a different destination. I highly recommend this service it takes all the anxiety and headache out of the vacation planning process and Laura is definitely passionate and proactive at her job. I look forward to using her services in the future.

Stress-free trip to Europe

Reviewed By Leaners2002 - Plymouth, MI | Traveled to Europe
Laura helped us plan a mother/daughter trip Europe to celebrate my daughter's college graduation. She listened to our wish list of destinations and the type of experiences we were looking for and guided us toward the best travel option to fit our needs. We specifically wanted a low stress trip to Europe and selected a cruise itinerary that hit almost all the places we wanted to visit. Laura had great advice to share throughout the process! She checked in with us regularly up until trip departure to answer any questions and to make sure all of our requests were met. Laura is very friendly and easy to talk to. She was available during our trip if we encountered any issues and followed up with us when the trip was over to make sure we were happy with the service she provided. We hadn't used a travel agent to plan a trip in a long time, but I'm glad we did for this trip - she was an invaluable resource with lots of extra pointers for European travel! Thank you Laura !

Amazing trip!!

Reviewed By Suzie - Battle Creek, MI | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Laura was amazing, I did some research on the internet looking for a travel agent, this was my first time using one. I am so happy I found Laura, she was so easy to work with and answered all of my questions (and there were a lot). We could not have asked for a better experience, from the tours, hotels, transportation, everything was so easy to navigate. It was my first time traveling to Europe, and when we go back, we will definitely be using Laura again!

Retirement Trip - 30 Days in Europe

Reviewed By Retired Man - Plymouth, Mi. | Traveled to Europe
Laura was wonderful to work with. We traveled to Italy, France, Greece, Netherlands, and England. All the hotels we had booked with her were beautiful and in great locations. The tours she recommended were all amazing. She was always available before and during our travels, which was reassuring knowing she was still able to assist us, when we were across the world, by a simple text message. I would highly recommend her to friends/family. Now that I have additional time on my hands being retired I am certain we will be planning many more trips with her again soon.

Tour of Italy for Delayed Honeymoon

Reviewed By Sarah R - Grand Rapids, MI | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
It was a pleasure working with Laura to plan our very delayed honeymoon due to the pandemic. We were so excited to finally make the trip happen after three years, and Laura did a great job listening to my requests for the trip (both budget, and activities) and delivered an itinerary that fit our needs perfectly. She provided a great balance for us of relaxing days, and tours or day trips, and we got to see and do everything we dreamed of. She was very available before and during our trip for all my questions, and even if she couldn't help us with something (for example, lost baggage that I needed to create a claim for and a delayed flight that I needed to rebook at the airport), she was there for moral support and walking me through what I needed to do. While traveling internationally, it is a huge relief to know you have someone in your corner. I would highly recommend working with Laura to plan your next trip.

Laura was nothing less than fantastic to work with. She ensured everything on our trip was as smooth as possible and if we hit a bump in the tarmac she was right there to help (which was few and far between thanks to her). It was so amazing how everything on our 5 star Euro trip lined up so perfectly. Visiting 4 country’s is no easy task but with her it was smooth sailing! Can’t thank her enough for helping plan our trip of a lifetime down to every last detail!

Trip to Italy

Reviewed By Mike and Jolene - Canton, MI | Traveled to Rome ~ Italy ~ Europe
We worked with Laura when planning our trip to Italy. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and organized. She listened to what we liked to do and prepared a beautiful itinerary that included fun activities (cooking classes, a private winery tour, water activities, etc.). She is well connected and knows the best places to stay. She provided us with a beautiful packet that included history and information about each city we visited, all of our travel vouchers, our hotel accommodations, and our activity tickets. She arranged for a private car to pick us up whenever possible, and we were always picked up in a Mercedes. Laura was readily available by text, phone, or email. We ran into an issue with one hotel (NOT Laura'a fault), so I sent her a text on a Saturday morning, and the issue was resolved right away. Laura's expertise and connections enabled us to enjoy the best of Italy, and her exceptional organizational skills made our trip hassle free. Thank you, Laura!
