Carissa was absolutely amazing in planning our honeymoon in Italy. She recommended a wonderful hotel that truly made our trip unforgettable. The location was stunning with breathtaking views and convenient access to all the attractions we wanted to visit. The hotel staff, under her guidance, were incredibly warm and accommodating, making us feel incredibly special throughout our stay. Our room was beautifully decorated with a delightful touch of Italian elegance, and the amenities were luxurious and well-suited for a honeymoon. Thanks to Carissa’s expertise and thoughtful planning, our honeymoon was everything we dreamed of and more. I highly recommend Carissa to anyone looking to plan a romantic getaway or special trip!

Carissa is THE BEST. She made the experience both with her and the itinerary of our trip perfect. She made sure to cover every detail, fill in where we left blanks, and was incredibly organized. She checked in with us regularly and made sure to give us all the options possible. Major perks that she’s hilarious. Can’t wait to come up with another trip to have her plan!!

Recent Vegas trip, orchestrated by a fantastic travel agent, was a breeze. Opting to stay at The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, I enjoyed a seamless experience from start to finish. The personalized attention from the travel agent was a highlight, ensuring the trip felt tailor-made. The booking process for The Venetian was smooth and transparent, with all details provided upfront. Upon arrival, check-in was a breeze, and The Venetian surpassed expectations with a beautifully decorated suite and impeccable service. , We also attended U2 at the Sphere – a phenomenal experience that added to the trip's charm and staying at the Venetian made it effortless. In essence, having a travel agent elevated my Vegas stay. Their expertise, attention to detail, and personalized touch made it a memorable and stress-free experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a seamless and enjoyable getaway.
