Claire is amazing and we have booked many trips with her. She knows exactly what we like and has found us some amazing properties we never could have found on our own. Every hotel she has recommended has been A++ and she is always on the ball making sure transfers/dinners/activities are taken care of. I cant recommend her enough!!

Working with Claire was great. We really didn’t do anything - Claire took care of everything. We had never been to Florence and Claire recommended several hotels and gave us the pros and cons of each. It made for an amazing stress free vacation! Would highly recommend working with Claire and I can’t wait to plan my next vacation with her!

I can’t say enough great things about working with Claire. She sends several options for me no matter what city I am looking for. Our room was ready hours earlier than expected after our long travel day. We were greeted with drinks and Italian olive oil to our room and had gorgeous views which made our stay unforgettable. Her attention to detail on hotels and other aspects of your trip makes her different than other travel advisors I’ve used in the past. We will never not use Claire for our travels.
