When I plan a trip, my top priority is turning my clients' vision into an unforgettable experience! It all begins with a discovery call where I get to know your preferences and wishes. From there, I tailor-make itineraries that fit you like a glove. My design fees start at $350 and vary based on the number of travelers and the complexity of your trip. This allows me to dedicate the time needed to create something truly special for you, providing support every step of the way. From sorting out pre-travel details to being there for you after you return, I'm committed to making sure your journey is seamless and full of amazing memories.
Maribeth LaScala made our mother/daughter 2 week trip to Italy beyond amazing!! We visited Sicily, Rome, Florence, Verona, Venice, Lake Como and flew home from Milan. Every place we visited she made special whether it was time by the ocean in Sicily to relax after a long flight or a 1962 white convertible car driving us around Rome at night to see all of the beautiful places lit up or a relaxing 3 hour private boat ride to be amazed by all of the beauty that Lake Como has to offer! We saw beautiful art in Rome and Florence and didn't wait in any lines! She covered every detail and did everything for us including flights, transfers, English speaking drivers, hotel reservations, dinner reservations and English speaking private tour guides, boat rides and one of the most valuable and time saving things Maribeth arranged for us was having an English speaking person meet us when we landed at every airport and walk us through customs and duty free tax lines when needed! We also loved having our whole itinerary on an App so we could follow each perfectly planned day! She went above and beyond with joy in helping us on a trip of a lifetime! We will cherish this trip as long as we live and we have Maribeth to thank for making it so memorable and so wonderful for us in every way!
