Someone asked a question a few years ago of this business regarding getting help finding a hotel…read moreroom. They responded, "we can assist with pretty much everything." Maybe that was the case four years ago, but it's not any longer. I think they've become a little too exclusive for our own good. I had complicated travel plans and I really needed help putting it together (multiple countries, flights, trains, hotels, things to see, etc), so I contacted these people. The first thing they did was send me their prices. I knew there would be a cost, but I hadn't expected it to be exorbitant! I hesitated for some time, disappointed. I determined that it would probably cost me about $600 just for their service, but I finally decided to go for it, figuring the peace of mind would be worth it. Next, they asked me to provide a description of what I was looking for. So I wrote up a summary of what I had in mind and what I needed, taking a fair amount of time to do this. This was apparently passed to the agents who looked it over and decided I wasn't a suitable client. "We unfortunately cannot allocate the dedicated time needed to piece together your trip in a way that meets our high standards. For these reasons, we're very sorry that we won't be able to assist with this particular request." They want to be able to create an entire LUXURY packaged trip for you of their own creation using places they already have in their files-- that's what I got out of what they told me. So if you know you want to visit, say, Greece and have your dates but nothing else planned, and money is no object, then by all means, give them a call. I'm sure they'll put together something spectacular. But for the rest of us 99%ers, this is not the place.

She then put together an itinerary that included everything I wanted plus some things I didn't even realize were possible.

I honestly could not recommend her enough and we can't wait to use her services again! Just a note that we were a little skeptical to plan our honeymoon with someone who we would never meet (she is in SoCal, and us in NorCal), but she was so attentive that I felt like the whole thing was planned in-person.
