Second to None

Reviewed By Aimster - St. Paul, MN | Traveled to Tanzania ~ Africa
Lisa was the consummate travel agent to assist with my bookings for my once in a lifetime trip abroad to Africa. Professional, responsive, and she went the extra mile to tend to our needs and find out what we were looking for. While we were in Tanzania, we had the full experience we asked for- spending our time between authentic local experiences in villages and seeing the animals in Serengeti National Park, to a relaxing in a cost effective and beautiful resort in Zanzibar. The best of both worlds!

The travel whisperer

Reviewed By Rebecca - Alexandria, VA | Traveled to Iceland ~ Europe
I have done multiple trips with Lisa, both inside and outside the US, including Miami, Montreal, and Iceland. She has an unfailing knack for finding the most authentic experiences (and the best flight/lodging deals). She has a talent for sniffing out those great but off-the-beaten track neighborhoods, restaurants, and activities. Her genuine love of travel, culture, and adventure means that she wants you to have the trip of your dreams every time, and she will work tirelessly to make sure of it.

Amazing Nicaragua Adventure!

Reviewed By Jennifer - Cheverly, MD | Traveled to Nicaragua ~ Central America
Lisa planned a trip to Nicaragua for me and a small group of friends over the New Year’s holiday. She is incredible at finding experiences that are off the beaten path and not the tourist traps that everyone else goes to. She designed an itinerary that was based on our specific group’s interests, and the entire trip went off without a hitch. I highly recommend Lisa if you are looking for someone who can provide professional travel planning and has the insight of a local!

In a few words it was very easy to work with Lisa. She’s very passionate and knowledgeable about traveling in general and it shows as she puts together a funtastic itinerary for you.

Superb customer service hence i have not stopped recommending her services to anyone I know. Keep up the good work Lisa.

Incredible experience all around!

Reviewed By Heather - California | Traveled to Iceland ~ Europe
Lisa is amazing and truly the best travel agent I have ever worked with!! She custom tailored our Iceland trip according to our preferences and gave great suggestions for our itinerary that we loved! Lisa planned an incredible trip and coordinated all of our activities with local tour operators - she is extremely organized and provided us with documentation of full daily activity details and tour vouchers well in advance of our trip. Lisa also went above and beyond while we were on the trip to make sure we were informed when there were updates to the tour schedules due to weather, and provided great options for rescheduling tours to fit our schedules! We honestly felt so taken care of before and during the trip and knew we could count on her if we had any questions or needs anytime. I highly recommend Lisa and will absolutely connect with her again for our next adventure!

Authentic and Mesmerizing Cuba Experience

Reviewed By Jim C. - Arlington, Virginia | Traveled to Cuba ~ Caribbean
Lisa planned our trip to Cuba and spared no detail while doing it. She did a ton of planning before even meeting with us to lay out our options. She outlined the pro's and con's of each proposed step. We felt she knew exactly what she was doing (especially knowing that she had traveled there several times). She was great at telling us what to expect when we arrived. During our trip there were no surprises because of all the information we were given prior to our trip. After Cuba, I used Lisa to plan a trip to the Antarctic and she didn't disappoint at the bottom of the earth either!

Like clockwork!

Reviewed By Katie - Delaware | Traveled to Iceland ~ Europe
Lisa planned a wonderful trip to Iceland for my family. I cannot thank her enough for all of her help! Everything ran like clockwork and it was the perfect itinerary and amount of time for our family. I look forward to working with her again and will happily recommend her to anyone looking for travel services to Iceland and beyond!

I think what impressed me the most was that Lisa asked the right questions in our initial meeting. She knew the type of trip we wanted, where we were flexible and delivered a perfect itinerary the first time. I've tried to partner with other agents in the past and have never had this level of satisfaction. I just felt like she "got" me from Day 1 and delivered above and beyond.

Lisa was also very proactive with her communications - we had all of our itineraries and transfer docs, etc. delivered in plenty of time before our trip. I never had to ask her for anything - she was on top of everything.

Wonderful Trip!

Reviewed By Alison - Detroit, Michigan | Traveled to Indiana ~ USA
Lisa helped me make a really wonderful and rejuvenating vacation possible. It was a memorable loop from Detroit down through Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Ohio. The focus was staying in historic hotels (each on the Register of Historic Places) and hiking. Lisa listened to what I wanted to do and crafted a trip. She was communicative and had great ideas. I am really grateful for the wonderful memories that this trip gave me and for the excellent help and expertise that Lisa provided!

Dreamy Thailand

Reviewed By Yabdou - Chapel Hill, NC | Traveled to Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
Lisa Emmi was absolutely wonderful! She worked day and night to get our itinerary together. Unlike other tourist agencies, Lisa made sure she personalized our experiences to our liking. She had an initial telephone consultation to get to know us and what we wanted out of our travel experience. Then she communicated back and forth until she perfected our travel plans. We had an absolutely spectacular time in Thailand with no hiccups whatsoever- thanks to Lisa! I would definitely recommend her without any reservations if you plan on having a once in a lifetime experience.

THE MOST AMAZING VACATION EVER IMAGINED

Reviewed By DAVE BALLZ - BOCA RATON FLORIDA | Traveled to Iceland ~ Europe
My wife and I found Lisa by Googling Travel Agents. We reached out to 3 agents initially as I'm never very confident that anyone will respond.
Lisa responded to my inquiry in a matter of hours (the others never did)
After a brief phone call with Lisa we felt VERY comfortable to let her work her vacation magic. We wanted to spend 7 nights in Iceland followed by 8 nights in Italy. We told Lisa of our basic Ideas and she went to work and presented us with an amazing customizable itinerary. After reviewing we talked and emailed with her to make changes based on her suggestions as well as our desires.
We just returned a few days ago from our trip and I cant say enough about how perfect everything was. The Itinerary App that she provided had all of our info and details at our fingertips 24/7. Trip Vouchers and Transfer Services, Private tours, Hotel Check-ins, car rentals etc....
Every detail was SPOT ON! Making our job of enjoying ourselves effortless.
LISA IS THE BEST IN THE BUSINES

Romantic Honeymoon

Reviewed By Katie - St Clair Shores, MI | Traveled to Portugal ~ Europe
Lisa made planning our honeymoon so easy! She listened to what we wanted to took it from there. She is so lovely to work with and really just wants her clients to have a good time. Every day of our trip was made so easy with personal drivers and concierge check ins. We felt like royalty! My husband and I will NEVER plan our own trips again. Lisa booked us a private day tour with a driver and guide that wowed us. We would never have thought to do that! No detail was missed and it allowed us to just enjoy our time and not worry about scheduling drivers or arriving on time. It was amazing.

With Lisa, you have someone with you every step of the process. Her research and planning abilities are amazing. Her communications were thorough and timely.
