Roger M.

Rachel always listens to what I need in a vacation and delivers every time without fail. She has taken the time to get to know myself and wife, and with that being said, she always delivers the highest professional care and best vacation options for us.

Sara A.

Rachel was amazing to work with!! We had 2 families traveling together and she handled it with ease! The communication leading up to the vacation was excellent. We even had a few 'curveballs' while on the trip and Rachel was immediately responsive to help us work through them. Highly recommend Rachel, we had the best vacation! Thank you!

Christiann A.

Rachel chose a really beautiful resort for us. She found us perfect rooms to house our tricky blended family dynamic. It was a really beautiful, relaxing vacation! Thank you.

Reva A.

Rachel was incredible! It was a last minute vacation with a list of things we wanted to do including Disney. Disney itself is overwhelming, and confusing for a first time goer like myself. She reached out multiple times to ensure I didn't have any questions/concerns, and even sent me a bunch of recommendations for other things to do in the area. I'm using her again to go on an international trip, and I can't wait! I would highly recommend using their services.

Sample Itinerary: Italy

Trip Overview
A thoughtfully paced journey through Rome and Florence designed to balance iconic experiences with local culture — without rushing, overloading days, or burning out.

This trip was planned to feel immersive, efficient, and enjoyable, with logistics handled so the travelers could stay present.

How this trip was planned

This itinerary prioritizes:

• Staying in a locally rooted neighborhood rather than a tourist-heavy area
• Using high-speed trains to reduce stress and maximize time
• Special-access experiences to avoid long lines and crowds
• A rhythm that alternates immersive days with lighter, restorative ones

Rather than checking boxes, the focus was on experiencing Italy well.

Example flow (experience-focused)

• Arrival in Rome

Staying in Trastevere to experience daily Roman life while remaining close to major sites.

The first day was designed to beat jet lag with a fun, engaging city introduction rather than rest indoors.

• Southern Italy day trip
A seamless train journey to explore Pompeii and Herculaneum — experiencing history without relocating hotels or repacking.

• Vatican experience
Special-access entry allowed for a calmer, more meaningful visit, avoiding peak crowds and long waits.

• Ancient Rome
A guided Colosseum experience with arena floor access, followed by a relaxed evening enjoying views over the city.

• Transition to Florence
High-speed rail travel and centrally located accommodations made the city immediately walkable, with the first day intentionally kept light.

• Art, culture, and food
Visiting Michelangelo’s David paired with a thoughtfully chosen dining experience — allowing the day to feel complete, not rushed.

• Tuscan countryside
A sunrise hot air balloon ride over Tuscany followed by an authentic, hands-on cooking experience in Siena.

• A gentle close
A casual wine experience before returning home — ending the trip connected, not exhausted.

Every element — from pacing to access to location — was chosen to reduce friction and enhance enjoyment.

Sample Itinerary: Banff

Trip Overview
A nature-forward journey through the Canadian Rockies designed around scenery, movement, and breathing room — with space to explore without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

This trip balances iconic landscapes with flexibility, allowing travelers to move at their own pace while still experiencing the highlights.

How this trip was planned
This itinerary prioritizes:

• A self-driven route to allow flexibility and spontaneity
• Strategic lodging locations to reduce daily transit
• Early starts for popular sites to avoid peak crowds
• Built-in rest days to honor energy levels
• Experiences that feel immersive, not over-scheduled

The focus is on experiencing the landscape deeply, not checking off every stop.

Example flow (experience-focused)

• Arrival in Calgary & transition to the mountains
Picking up a rental car and driving into the Lake Louise area, with time to settle in and enjoy the surroundings.

The first evening was intentionally relaxed, allowing travelers to unwind and take in mountain views after travel.

• Iconic lakes & Banff town
An early morning canoe experience on Moraine Lake, followed by time in Banff for lunch and optional scenic experiences — allowing flexibility based on energy and weather.

• Lake Louise & alpine hiking
An early start for a classic teahouse hike to experience the area before crowds, with clear preparation guidance provided in advance.

The day ended with a lakeside stay, designed to slow the pace and fully appreciate the setting.

• Scenic parkway exploration
A self-guided drive along one of the most scenic routes in the Rockies, using a GPS-based audio guide.

Travelers could stop at waterfalls, glaciers, and viewpoints — choosing how far to go and how long to linger.

• Rest & restoration
A full day reserved for rest and enjoyment of resort amenities — with options to relax, explore casually, or book a spa experience.

• Return to Calgary
A relaxed drive back, allowing the trip to close feeling grounded rather than rushed.

Every element — from timing to lodging to pacing — was chosen to reduce stress while maximizing the experience of the landscape.
