EXOTIC & LUXURY TRAVEL SPECIALIST

Sometimes that means discovering culture, tastes, sounds and environment and sometimes that means reconnecting with yourself on a luxurious beach vacation. My aim is to provide my clients the insider approach that adds an authentic and life changing layer to your vacation. Ultimately, I work to provide dreamy experiences that enrich the soul.

Danielle planned an amazing 3 week trip to Egypt and Jordan for me. In Egypt, we had the most knowledgable guides, drivers and beautiful hotels (my favorite was Four Seasons with the Nile view - wow!!!). We took a cruise down the Nile for 4 days and got upgraded to a suite with a balcony and loved it. We visited Luxor, Edfu and Aswan which were fabulous. Then we flew to Jordan, and had guides take us to Amman, Wadi Rum (definitely recommend!), and the Dead Sea. It was the trip of lifetime and I can't wait for my next trip!!! Thank you Danielle!!!

Honeymoon of my dreams

Reviewed By Allie - New York, New York | Traveled to Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
We had never used a travel agent before, but a friend recommended we reach out to Danielle since she specializes in travel to Southeast Asia and we were interested in going to Thailand for our honeymoon. It was such a relief to have someone plan out our honeymoon while we focused on our wedding, and Danielle did a great job of listening to our travel interests and preferences and working with us to refine our itinerary. Before we left, we had a great itinerary that we could print out or access via an app, and it included tons of essential tips on getting around, tipping guidance, things to do outside of our scheduled activities, and more. Danielle is great to work with and all of her guidance helped us feel at ease when in a country we hadn't yet traveled to!

We worked with Danielle to setup our honeymoon...and it was nothing short of amazing! Working with Danielle and her contacts made everything very seamless and reduced many of the stresses of traveling. We had a great mix of excursions/activities to do balanced with free and relaxing time to ourselves. She listened to what we were interested in doing and also had great suggestions as well! 10/10 would recommend!

Expert Planing! Rome and Positano

Reviewed By Kathleen - Felton, CA | Traveled to Rome ~ Italy ~ Europe
I really enjoyed Danielle's scope of knowledge - it's like she knows everything. We used her for our trip to Italy - Rome and Positano. She offered advice and guidance on things that I never would have expected - restaurant recommendations, comfortable walking shoes, authentic experiences, etc. I really enjoy Danielle's easy nature and her ability to but any stress at ease. She is also very accessible and communicative, which was much appreciated. We will work with Danielle in the future, for sure!

Fabulous Honeymoon

Reviewed By Ginny and Bill - Gainesville, VA | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
Danielle planned out a most wonderful honeymoon trip for us to my life-long dream destination - Greece! With little time to spare, Danielle diligently heeded all our interests, disinterests, special dietary restrictions, special requests, etc. We even provided a list of last-minute requests, which Danielle graciously accommodated as well. Every place we visited, each hotel (very different from the other), every special excursion, transfers to and from destinations, and the custom-tailored itinerary along with curated guide for additional recommendations were fantastic and created a most wonderful, memorable honeymoon and trip of a lifetime!

Trip of a Lifetime - Alaska Land Tour

Reviewed By Gina - Leesburg, VA | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
What a wonderful trip from concept to planning to enjoying it. Danielle was amazing! From the get-go she was committed to understanding our nice-to-haves and must-haves and put together multiple trip options for us to consider.. Once we decided on the final plans, she got to work quickly to map it all out and get everything booked. It was so nice to leave for our trip with access to her app that outlined our day-by-day itinerary. Everything went very smoothly and it was so nice to be able to just enjoy the vacation without having to do much thinking about our itinerary. When a weather issue kept us from participating in one of our activities, Danielle’s first response was “How about I try to get it booked in the next town you visit?” and she quickly got back to us with some options. Her attention to detail and commitment to providing first class service are very apparent. Can’t thank her enough for making the trip of a lifetime possible!

Alaska - just the tip of the iceberg!

Reviewed By Alaska Bucket List by Cruise and Land! - Westfield, Indiana | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Danielle was so great to work with planning my dad's bucket list trip to Alaska! None of us had ever been to Alaska or on a cruise before so it was completely foreign to us. We were able to enjoy a 16 day trip (2 in Vancouver, 7 cruising with Holland America, and then 7 on a custom Alaska-by-land trip including Denali, Anchorage, and Girdwood at the Alyeska Resort). There are a lot of nuances to cruising and navigating a trip of this magnitude, and the travel itinerary that Danielle provided was AMAZING. We must have used it at least 10 times a day to get all the little details we needed about what was "next." She also sent timely reminders and links when our payments were due as well as tips and tricks. I highly recommend Danielle Purdy Travel if you are looking to plan your bucket list trip!

10-day Brazil

Reviewed By Lee - Washington, DC | Traveled to Brazil ~ South America
I had the most amazing trip of a lifetime for a 10-day, all inclusive trip to Brazil.  I contacted Danielle to arrange my travel because I didn't know anything about Brazil!! Danielle informed me of Abercrombie & Kent. I told her of my interest in seeing several locations in Brazil and she made it happen. All I needed to do was pay for my travel cost. When I landed in São Paulo there was a car waiting for me, I had no worries about transportation or hotels.  I stayed in 5 star hotels, my entire itinerary was mapped out for me.  Both Danielle Purdy Travel and A&K made my first time to Brazil very special from transportation, luxury hotels, air travel and 2 helicopters for sightseeing.  I highly recommend Daniellepurdytravel to fulfill all your travel needs.

Can we start planning out next trip??

Reviewed By Julie - Arlington, Virginia | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Danielle's passion for what she does is evident from the second you inquire about travel plans. We had no idea where we wanted to go for a 3-4 day "minimoon" but she curated an array of different options, all in amazing, different places. It was fun to select where we wanted to go but past that we really did not have the time or motivation to think about a trip. That is where Danielle covered all bases! We quite literally did not have to put any thought into it, we just looked forward to the trip. Unfortunately, our original travel plans were canceled less than 12 hours before our flight due to a hurricane. We were so disappointed but Danielle took the time to get on the phone with us the very next day to look at Plan B which ended up being the most incredible alternative and we truly can't imagine any different. Our stay at the most beautiful all-inclusive luxury resort in the D.R. was unmatched, views were to die for, and can you say private rooftop plunge pool?! W

Still dreaming about my honeymoon!

Reviewed By Julia - Frederick, MD | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
Danielle planned my dream honeymoon to Spain. She provided amazing insight from the amount of time, locations to travel to, as well as things not to do. She helped me come up with a fun, yet relaxing timeline and gave her own experiences to help guide our itinerary. The hotel and resort she chose was perfect for our personalities, interests and we truly could not have done it better ourselves.

Amazing Getaway

Booking with Danielle made our lives so much easier and turned our dream vacation to Punta Cana into reality. We had no idea where to even begin all we knew was we wanted a beach vacation. Danielle provided us with amazing options and helped us picked out the best all inclusive resort we have ever stayed at. She is so organized and her attention to details is incredible. She also helped us plan an excursion taking another thing off my plate! All the arrangements were above and beyond all thanks to DPT!

Honeymoon to die for!

Reviewed By JJ - Arlington, VA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Every time we work with Danielle the experience has been unbelievably seamless. Traveling to other countries now feels comfortable and anxiety free thanks to her. We had the most incredible 14 day honeymoon to Puglia, Amalfi región, and Tuscany and it was the trip of a lifetime! We were so active with excursions but had plenty of time for R&R and exploring on our own. From cooking classes on the beach and olive grove tours in Puglia, private boat days in Capri, lemon farm/olive oil/pizza making tour in Sorrento, to an E-bike ride to various vineyards around the Tuscan countryside…. I’m still speechless and in awe over the organization/communication and incredible times we had on this trip. Not to mention, every hotel we stayed at was top notch and so unique. We will never not book with Danielle-these experiences are so elevated and a dream over and over again!

The best trip of our lives!

Reviewed By Peter and Marjorie - Kensington, Maryland | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
Danielle planned the most perfect international vacation! She is a very detail oriented, tasteful, and knowledgable planner. We highly recommend her for your next trip.

She planned a dreamy vacation to Ireland for me and my wife, which included 3 nights in Dublin, one night at the world renowned Adare Manor, and four nights in Galway. Our itinerary included everything from guided tours, dining recommendations, historical sites and fun activities — every detail was clearly defined in our itinerary, which was easily accessible through her mobile app.

Thank you, Danielle!! ?????
