I cannot recommend Janelle of Fora Travel highly enough! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, attentive to every detail, and truly took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for. Whether it was finding the perfect accommodations, suggesting hidden gems off the beaten path, or organizing a seamless itinerary, she handled everything with such care and expertise.
Every part of the trip exceeded my expectations, and I know that wouldn’t have been possible without her hard work behind the scenes. What stood out the most was how personalized the experience felt—this wasn’t just a generic travel package; it was thoughtfully crafted to match my interests, pace, and budget.
If you’re planning a trip and want someone who genuinely cares about making it amazing, Janelle is the one to call. She made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable from start to finish. I will absolutely be using her services again!

Janelle was a dream travel agent to work with. She swooped in and saved our trip. I had half of our Greek vacation planned but couldn't get all the moving parts together for the last half. Janelle planned a spectacular trip from Athens to Mykonos to Santorini and back to Athens! All the connections were smooth and the accommodations were amazing. Janelle checked in on our family every leg of the way to ensure a smooth and amazing vacation. She is a five-star travel partner!

Janelle was fantastic. She was extremely helpful in assisting us with hotels/locations and activities. Hotels were walking distance to the sites that we chose, and the accommodations were excellent. Janelle handled booking tickets for us, so that we didn't miss out on sold out events. Additionally, Janelle assisted us in booking hotels/events for multiple areas, which was not an easy task. We highly recommend booking a trip with Janelle.

Janelle was super helpful! She not only helped us with the hotel, but she found extra activities and things we could do as a family that were part of the total eclipse event at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We had an awesome, memorable trip. Thank you, Janelle for helping us put this together!!

Southern Italy Itinerary
Travel to Southern Italy, where the warm and welcoming nature of the people makes visitors feel like family. I journeyed to Southern Italy's Amalfi Coast region to celebrate an unforgettable 40th birthday adventure, complete with majestic mountain views, azure waters and stunning natural beauty. Southern Italy is renowned for delicious cuisine, boasting its famous Neapolitan pizza and traditionally prepared fresh seafood dishes where cherished and preserved recipes are handed down through generations.
