Dee Swaminathan

Dee is an exceptional travel advisor who turned our 15th anniversary into the most memorable celebration imaginable. When I initially approached her, I was looking for special, yet budget-conscious, ideas beyond the typical Disney or Florida destinations. Dee immediately recommended the idea of a cruise, perfectly capturing the appeal: "when you cruise - you are relaxed, engaging, party, everything in one place, makes you feel special - and to top - everything in the ocean."

As first-time cruisers, we had no idea what to expect, but Dee handled everything with expert care. She secured a perfect itinerary on the Symphony of the Seas to the Dominican Republic, placing us in a highly sought-after balcony room on one of the top floors. We later learned these spots are the first to go! Upon arrival, we were completely surprised by special anniversary decorations, a cute photo frame gift, and a delicious cake waiting in our cozy ocean-view room—a personalized touch we will never forget.

Dee's preparation was meticulous; she provided a tailored packing list, detailed expectations, and crucial first-time cruising considerations that saved us countless hours of planning. Everything felt custom-made for our perfect celebration.

Thanks to Dee, we had the best and most memorable anniversary ever. She not only introduced us to the fun-loving world of cruising with the best deal but delivered an experience that far exceeded expectations. Given her outstanding service, insight, and personalized planning, we are already exploring newer cruising itineraries and destinations, and we will absolutely, without a doubt, have Dee plan every single future vacation for us!

I recently travelled to Krakow and Amsterdam, on a trip perfectly planned by Dee. Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience. Every detail was thought of — from hotel bookings and tickets (bus, train, whatever was needed) to day trips and pacing — so nothing felt rushed, yet I managed to see and do so much.

In Krakow, I stayed at Main Square Apartments, right in the heart of Old Town. The location was perfect, with the buzz of the square right outside. Dee also planned a day trip to Zakopane, which was a refreshing contrast — mountains, fresh air, and jaw-dropping views.

In Amsterdam, I stayed at The Hoxton, right by the canal — a thoughtful touch that made the stay feel extra special. The itinerary also included a visit to Zaanse Schans, which felt like stepping straight into a Dutch postcard with its windmills and charming houses. Everything was planned so perfectly that I had time to enjoy each place fully, without feeling rushed.

And of course… both in Krakow and Amsterdam, the trip included time to shoot a dance reel! (I'm a dancer!)

What I appreciated most was how easy and enjoyable everything felt. No stressing about tickets, logistics, or missing out on anything — Dee had it all covered. I just got to relax, enjoy, and soak it all in… and maybe strike a few dance poses along the way!

I highly recommend Dee for trip planning!

Dee helped me book a great hotel in the heart of Munich. It was the perfect location for family of 2, close to city center, and the trams and subway stations. There was a mall right behind the hotel that was useful for shopping and buying groceries for the kitchen in the hotel room! The property felt like home away from home for 10 days!

We had the most incredible experience booking our recent Girls' Trip to Turkey, all thanks to Dee. From start to finish, she made the entire process seamless and stress-free. She put together a fantastic itinerary that covered everything we wanted to see and do after carefully considering our varied specifications. The accommodations were comfortable and were at walkable distance to the important sights. Dee’s local insights and recommendations (loved the dessert recommendation at Cappadocia) made the trip truly unforgettable. I highly recommend Dee to anyone looking for a personalized and delightful travel experience. Thank you for making our Turkish adventure extra special!

We just got back from an amazing family trip to Japan, and we have to give a huge shoutout to Dee, for making it all come together so smoothly. She helped us plan every detail for our time in Tokyo and Kyoto, and honestly, her help made a huuuge difference.

Dee recommended hotels in both cities that were super central—easy to get around, close to train stations, and in neighborhoods that felt fun and safe for a family. She handled the booking for us, which took a lot off our plate and gave us peace of mind.

But what we really appreciated was the mix of suggestions she gave us. Of course, we hit some of the popular sights, but she also pointed us toward off-the-beaten-path spots we would’ve never found on our own. It made the trip feel a lot more personal and special.

Oh—and the food! Dee gave us a bunch of great restaurant recs, from ramen joints to more local, hidden gems. Everything we tried was a hit.

All in all, it was an unforgettable trip, and having Dee's guidance made it stress-free and just…easy. We'd definitely work with her again for our next adventure!
