Would you Vespa through the vineyards?
We're working on a beautiful Italian honeymoon trip and thought how fun it would be to Vespa through beautiful Tuscany on the way to a custom farm-side cooking class. Italy knows how to pull the heartstrings.

I love Alaska! I lived there for a few months as an intern and I’d love to go back. Hoping to make this a family trip in a few years.

Someday I would LOVE to go here!!! Did you know Jer was born here?

Thank you!!

I wouldn’t book with anyone else!

Mandy booked a trip to Northern India for my husband and myself. I cannot say enough good things about our experience working with her. She covered all the bases and then some! From planning our flight times to have the least amount of jet lag to lining up a trip to ride elephants in Jaipur she thought of every detail. She was so prompt to get back with answers to all of our questions. A true joy to work with. I have and will continue to give her name out to all our friends looking for a great travel agent! We are planning another trip in the near future and we will be using Mandy again without a doubt!

Exactly what we were looking for!

Relaxing Spring Break –

We had an excellent experience planning this trip with Mandy. She helped us decide on the type of accommodations that would work best for our family and booked a condo for us. It was a quick and easy process. The condo was very spacious, comfortable, and had a wonderful ocean view. We look forward to other opportunities to work with Mandy in the future!

Fabulous family trip –

I have been our family’s travel planner for many years and found it to take way too much of my time and be more stress than needed. A friend recommended Mandy and it was so wonderful! She asked me what our preferences were for travel, and was able to pick the ideal resort. Every detail was handled beautifully and all I had to do was set the alarm to make the flight. The rest of the vacation went off without a hitch. Even when I was worried about a possible weather delay, she was reassuring that even if that happened, it would all work out well – which it did! I will continue to use Mandy for our family’s travel needs and sit back and relax. Thank you Mandy!

She is the Best!!

She has helped my daughter plan several trips and has done an amazing job on each trip. Amanda takes care of flights, where to stay, where to eat and things to see and do while you are on the trip. I cannot say enough good things about her service!

Best Trip Ever!

Mandy was amazing from start until finish. When we initially spoke with her about planning a trip, she listened intently for our goals for our time away. She responded with several different options. After answering some concerns and questions we had especially since we were planning to take our sons with us, we ultimately decided on a Southern Caribbean cruise. Step by step, she walked us through the process of booking the cruise, the flights, hotel and trip insurance giving us options along the way and guidance when we needed it. Thankfully she took care of making all of our payments for us and organized all of our confirmation numbers and important information in one convenient document. She also provided us with information on a different excursion company than what the cruise ship uses called Shore Trips, and we were so thankful. Our experience with Mandy was completely flawless. We will use her for every trip we take in the future!
