Travel style
Travel shouldn't be exhausting, but every day should be an adventure. Whether it's hiking on a little-known trail, scouring the city for an elusive piece of street art or hunting down a speakeasy hidden in plain sight, you can count on me to find the most fun ways to get lost. I'm always after those one-of-a-kind experiences that stick with you long after you've packed your bags back home.

Alyssa's reviews
Alyssa was really awesome. Both in terms of communication (timely, clear, helpful), and also in terms of her recommendations. We had Alyssa help us with the full itinerary and her knowledge of New Orleans and her ability to find the best activities for us, made this trip really special. I'd definitely recommend working with her.

Alyssa is a real pro! She planned a trip to New Orleans for my friend and me and created a perfect blend of food, music, activities and independent roaming time to enjoy the city and reconnect. I was especially happy with that extra touch of a NOLA local. Alyssa's insights into little-known venues and unique performance opportunities made this trip feel like I'm discovering NOLA for the first time. Restaurant recommendations and bookings were another highlight with some excellent choices. Alyssa also scheduled a few fun activities (swamp trip and cooking class) complete with transportation and tips on how to best enjoy each activity. Also, I really liked the Tern platform and the personalized intro video for a great personal touch.
I would highly recommend using Alyssa Manning for your travel planning!
