Alyssa Grunden

Very helpful and timely

Alyssa Grunden was top notch. I’d give her more stars if I could. Beyond responsive and accommodating. I will use Alyssa for all my vacations and even low budget friendly short trips to visit kids in college. Such a time and money save for me. Alyssa Helped with hotel; restaurant choices and reservations; excursions and cancellation on excursion when a trip member bailed; and even buttoned it up in a daily trip itinerary for me with all the reservation info. She went above and beyond at hotel to secure us additional extras like lounge access and securing room connectors of a very specific type that hotel only had two of that weren’t included in the fora booking; Alyssa went so far as to plan our excursions according to weather forecast (keeping an eye on any changes in weather for us too); and when I asked for a specific excursion with specific company she booked that too. She didn’t just book things she made commission from she went above and beyond to accommodate our specific requests. Alyssa checked in during trip several times to check how things were going. I have never used a travel planner before and it was hard to give up the control. I know Alyssa sensed that and she sent me options to approve or disapprove before booking, while also staying on budget. I will definitely use her again as she took all the hassle and burden out of planning and saved me money and time in the process.

Alyssa did a great job getting us set up for our weekend! She responded quickly and had our trip book in no time. She took the time to listen to what we wanted and needed, resulting in the prefect hotel booking.

Alyssa provided excelled recommendations and always responded in a timely manner to any questions I had. I will book her anytime I have a trip coming up!

Planning and booking a trip with my partner is A LOT, and usually I end up stressed out. Alyssa took all of the stress away! Alyssa pulled some great options that were easily within our budget and was so patient when we asked for back-up dates, other options, etc. And to top it all off, we were due to go to the Caribbean days before Hurricane Melissa was supposed to make landfall and Alyssa was not only patient but calm as she had to deal with two over-worked and stressed New Yorkers who just wanted to go on vacation!

I am going to default using Alyssa as my go to Travel resource and have already recommended her to family and co-workers.
