James Besteman

We’ve worked with James a few times now, and he always makes travel feel effortless. Even with our last-minute plans, he pulls together great options fast and finds incredible hotels with the best perks. Everything is handled smoothly and all we have to do is show up and enjoy.

We were traveling to Paris for my 40th birthday with our dog and James made sure everything was seamless from start to finish. I’d absolutely book with him again for our next trip!

When I came to James the only thing I had booked was flights - we were flying in and out of different cities in Puglia, there for 10 days, it would include myself, my husband and our 1 year old daughter, I wanted to go to several different towns, we’d need a car AND the trip was 3 weeks away. James made delicious lemonade out of that pile of lemons we dropped on him. Within 48 hours he presented me with a proposed agenda that took all our parameters into account; from mapping out our route to minimize time spent in the car, to baby friendly 5 star hotels that were within our budget and answering my special request to stay in a Trulli house in Alberobello. I was so impressed and relieved to have a trip so thoughtfully personalized, it’s clear he’s a professional with experience, taste and a real passion for traveling. All of the added benefits (late check-out, complementary upgrades, $100 hotel credit) were a cherry on top.

James is wonderful to book through. He has strong relationships with top hotels, which always results in better perks and upgrades. He’s professional, knowledgeable and makes the whole process seamless.

Working with James was a fantastic experience. He’s incredibly responsive and handles every detail seamlessly, even with last minute requests. The price monitoring system has already delivered real savings, and the hotel perks and upgrades added incredible value to our trip. Highly recommend his service to anyone who values both luxury and peace of mind when traveling.
