Melissa's reviews

Having Melissa book my cruise simplified my travel. I'm planning another cruise in 2024 and will definitely have Melissa help execute all the details.

I highly recommend anyone to use Melissa for booking travel, she is very knowledgeable and understands what you are looking for. She can answer any questions about your concerns and responds quickly. My trip was just what I was looking for and she made all the proper arrangements and reservations.

I loved working with Melissa as my travel advisor. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and offered excellent suggestions for a 10-day cruise I took with my sister last October. It was my first ever cruise and putting together itineraries for 10 cities in 2 weeks felt like an overwhelming task! Melissa made the process of booking and planning so easy, and she sent amazing suggestions for each port we visited! It was the trip of a lifetime, and I couldn’t have done it without her.

Melissa helped me and my husband plan and book our honeymoon stays for one of the most memorable, important and special vacations of our lives! We were welcomed in every hotel and resort with a bottle of champagne, complementary welcome treats, and special treatment from check-in through check-out. We not only appreciated her bookings with various perks to enjoy, but we also valued her expertise and guidance as we coordinated our stops and excursions. She had visited Sicily two years prior, so she had fabulous restaurant recommendations, transportation advice, and opinions on tourist sites and experiences. Working with her was so easy and rewarding, that I used her once again to book a trip for me and my family for an important business celebration in London next month. Melissa is now my go-to advisor for any and all of our travel needs, and I couldn’t recommend a more hard-working, honest, and knowledgeable travel advisor!
