Unforgettable trip!
Reviewed By Lola - Los Angeles, Ca | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
My trip to Greece was truly unforgettable because of Monica! Monica created an amazing experience for my husband and I on our honeymoon. It was my first stress-free trip because Monica went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect. We had the best food, went sightseeing, and did some non-tourist like stuff that only the locals would know about. We truly can’t thank Monica enough!

Our Favorite Vacation!
Reviewed By Jon - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Portugal ~ Europe
Monica planned an amazing trip to Portugal for my family a few months ago. We loved everything about our trip! The food was great, the hotels were excellent, and the country itself was incredible. Monica listened to our preferences and made sure to incorporate restaurants that were vegan-friendly, outdoor activities, and arranged for amazing guides. It was very important to us that all of our activities were private, and that's exactly what we got. The trip was well-organized and truly one of the best vacations we have ever had.

Couple in Croatia!
Reviewed By Kennedy - New York, New York | Traveled to Croatia ~ Europe
Monica was such a great person to work with! My partner and I planned a last minute trip to Croatia for his birthday and Monica was able to accommodate our request and plan an unforgettable trip. She was really easy to get ahold of and was available at every hour of the day and nigh which was a relief given that Croatia is in a totally different time zone. We were a little nervous about traveling to a new country and not knowing the language but having an itinerary and someone on call made it easy, we were met by a private driver at the airport and were taken directly to our hotel. The check-in process was also smooth and easy. All our activities were planned and the food was absolutely amazing! Monica advised us to only visit a few places to really enjoy the country and it was the best decision we made.
