la vita meravigliosa
Reviewed By Jeff - Sarasota, FL | Traveled to Tuscany ~ Italy ~ Europe
Recently completed a month long vacation to Italy that was planned and scheduled by Pam. It was a very detailed trip that included stops in Milan, Lake Como, Venice, Bologna, Cinque Terre, Florence, Tuscany, Sorrento and Rome. All accommodations, transportation, and activities in the various locations was meticulously planned out by Pam after consulting with us about our goals. As you might imagine there were a ton details that had to be spot on to make this trip a success. Pam's experience and her attention to detail proved to be invaluable. In addition, while on the trip she was engaged with us making certain that there is no hiccups and that we were enjoying the experience. It was a trip of a lifetime and my wife and I highly recommend her services. In fact, we liked it so much that we will be planning our 2024 trip to Spain with her.Thank you Pam.

Italy in October!
Reviewed By Andy - Chantilly, VA | Traveled to Portovenere ~ Italy ~ Europe
We spent the month of October 2023 touring Italy and our Travel Agent, Pam Whitman of Evotravel, was with us every step of the way. Pam is a joy to know and worked with us tirelessly to plan the trip of a lifetime. We could not be more grateful. Pam is knowl do edgeable and well connected in Italy. She met with us via Zoom frequently to learn and help us refine what we wanted and guided us to make our trip a complete success. While we were in Italy she was on call to smooth out the very few bumps that appeared during the trip. Before this trip we had not used a travel agent in many years. However, after this experience we would not plan any major travel without consulting Pam.

Wish List Wow!
Reviewed By Abbe - Alexandria, VA | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Pam was wonderful to work with. We wanted to take a trip but weren't sure where. We gave Pam just a few requirements (near water, relaxing, etc) from which she quickly gave us several options and locations. As we refined our "wish list" the details (and change in location) just got better and better. We had an amazing time in Costa Rica.Travel end date: 18 Oct 2022
