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.

Family snowboard trip –

Mandy was very helpful and knowledgeable. She was able to check all of the boxes we wanted and helped us have our best vacation yet.

The Schaefer’sSussex, Wisconsin
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!

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!

Mandy takes the stress out of travel planning!

We have booked four vacations with Mandy and are so happy to have had her help. We have used her assistance for family travel and special occasion travel both in the United States and internationally. Mandy was knowledgeable about our desired destinations and very quick to provide a range of options within our budget. We have not had any issues with any of our bookings, but I feel confident that if we did that Mandy would have helped immediately. We highly recommend Mandy’s services. She makes travel planning something our family looks forward to!

Fabulous Vacation –

Excellent – Mandy was informative and responsive, easy to work with.

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!
