Isabella 's reviews
Bella created an incredible Brazil itinerary for us, which turned into one of the best trips of our life! The trip was expertly organized as it started in Rio de Janeiro and finished in Iguazu falls. The trip was structured with the perfect balance of adventures and relaxation for my wife and I. Her recommendations for activities each day was perfect which included a guided tour of Rio. When we asked locals about favorite restaurants for authentic Brazilian cuisine, they were the places Bella had already got us reservations for! My family used to work with a travel agency but had shifted to booking our own travel in the last decade. This experience has completely changed my mind. Bella’s communication was the best I have ever experienced from a travel guide or agent in my life and we will now be using Bella to plan every trip for myself, my family and I’ll be sending all our friends her way. This trip was far better than any trip we could have planned ourselves. Instead of worrying the whole time about plans coming to fruition because of the work Bella had done we got to just enjoy the ride! Can’t speak highly enough and strongly recommend working with Bella for anyone’s upcoming travel, we certainly will be.

I could not have had a better travel advisor than Isabella. She was thorough, made great reservations, and helped my trip happen seamlessly. When I had a question she was there with a quick answer, and she’s just so lovely to work with. Five stars!!

Bella was fantastic and easy to work with. I was thrilled to find amazing perks added to our reservation, including a $100 credit, breakfast, early check in, and a welcome gift (Prosecco + cake) in our room upon arrival. Bella is full of recommendations and helpful tips. I've already shared her name and information with several people - she made the vacation so easy! I will definitely be working with her again on our next vacation! Thank you, Bella!
