I’d love to be your one stop shop for all of your special trips. I have formed long lasting relationships with my clients, which means that I am happy to book a single hotel room for you to a more complex itinerary, including transportation and tours. I work alongside you to craft that perfect vacation because we all know that you can’t return a trip, so it has to be perfect before you depart. Once I receive your trip inquiry, we will schedule a call, or I will let you know that your request is outside of my expertise. On our consultation call, I will clearly outline all fees associated with your trip design and walk through the onboarding process. Single hotel bookings are free, however, itinerary design begins at $500. This fee covers our time and ensures that you get the attention that your trip deserves, allowing me to leverage my resources around the world.

We have worked with Lisa and her staff for several years. As we know, travel plans do not always execute perfectly, whether because of weather, war, pandemic or other unforeseen circumstances. We can always trust that Lisa will guide us in overcoming those obstacles in a calm, reassuring manner. We also trust her advice and guidance when selecting trips, and look forward to our next opportunity to do so.
Lisa made this logistically challenging trip seamless. The guides she picked were terrific; the airport greeters got us through customs and security without a hitch; and the hotels and resorts were dreamy. 10/10 trip. Just amazing!
Lisa listened to our general travel preferences and made wonderful suggestions about where to go and what activities would fit our interests. The pacing of the trip was perfect and we had many wonderful experiences from truffle hunting to eating mussels& oysters right from where they were farmed to cheese, olive oil & wine tasting. The medieval cities were very fun to visit with exceptional private guides and our luxury hotels were in amazingly convenient locations with sumptuous breakfasts in all our stays. The locations by the water including some island stays were very picturesque and places like Plitvice NP, Lake Bled, and Postjana Caves were exceptional for their natural beauty. The private transportation worked well and most trips passed quickly with interesting scenery. Add to that exceptional weather and generally no crowds since we visited in October as Lisa recommended - it was a very memorable! Thanks Lisa!
