Lauren's reviews
Lauren was great! She provided many options, helped to upgrade our rooms, and ensure that we received a complimentary breakfast each morning. Lauren was easy to communicate with and incredibly responsive. She checked in throughout the stay to see if we needed anything. Would definitely book with Lauren again.

Lauren was absolutely fantastic to work with when going through the process of planning our vacation. We provided Lauren with our budget and destinations we were interested in and she went above and beyond by providing us with detailed packages/presentations to review for different destinations/resorts. The booking process was seamless and Lauren ensured everything was taken care for us. From lodging and flights to private transports to and from the resort, there wasn’t anything we had to worry about. Any concern we had Lauren took it upon herself to research or connect with management at the resort to make sure all details were ironed out to ensure we were accommodated with any need we had. We will definitely be using Lauren for our future travel planning needs!

Working with Lauren to plan an unforgettable girls weekend in Tampa was a dream! She carefully listened to everything we were looking for, communicated with us throughout the planning process and helped find and book the perfect hotel to meet our needs. After assessing our options, we settled on the Marriott at Water Street. The hotel was beautiful, the location was better than we could have imagined and the pool was amazing! The weekend was memorable and the travel process went smoothly due to Lauren’s careful attention to detail, planning and organization! She even checked in on our travel day and during our vacation to ensure our trip was going smoothly! I would highly recommend Lauren for all of your travel needs!

Absolutely thrilled with the seamless experience provided by Lauren for our trip to Spain! From meticulously planned itineraries to insider travel tips, must see attractions to hidden gems, every detail was taken care of. Lauren recommended hotels which were centrally located and within a specified budget. She booked our hotels, car transfers, train tickets, tours and shows. Our trip through Spain was nothing short of magical thanks to Lauren's expertise and attention to detail! Highly recommend for anyone planning their next adventure!
