My Travel Style

I plan trips that feel like a warm invitation to slow down and savor. My travel style is all about soulful, boutique experiences — think charming guesthouses, authentic eats and curated moments that help you feel connected, not just entertained. Whether you’re traveling solo or joining one of my small-group trips, I focus on safety, ease and experiences that make you say “this is exactly what I needed.”

The itinerary, communications, and assistance were wonderful. Even while she was traveling, she managed to check in with me frequently, and I really appreciated all of her kind help and assistance. The hotel choices were perfect for the locations, and we even enjoyed the last apartment in Athens, which made us feel like we were living like the locals, and a good insight! Thank you for everything.

After my trip to Portugal, I planned to spend a week in the Algarve. Short on time, I hired Melissa to help me and she put together a wonderful extension. This included a return trip by train from Lisbon to Faro, seven nights in a hotel, excursions ranging from a few hours to a full day, suggestions for the remaining days, and an additional night in a small historic Lisbon hotel dating from the 12th century. The Faro hotel was in the perfect location and she took into consideration my love of rooftop restaurants. I knew that if there were any hitches, Melissa would sort them out quickly. Her attention to detail is amazing and I would certainly not hesitate to ask for her help in future trip planning. Thank you, Melissa.

Melissa picked some truly fantastic restaurants that pleasantly surprised us, and the bike tour through the city was such a fun way to explore. The small-group day trip to Saint-Émilion was an absolute highlight – I’d do it again in a heartbeat. All the ingredients for a relaxed and memorable girls' weekend were there. Highly recommended!

What a fabulous experience! I can't say enough about traveling on one of "Melissa's Tours." Exceeded my expectations. The hotels were gorgeous, restaurants impressed my foodie soul, excursions were a good combo of "there is a reason thousands flock here" and going totally off the beaten path. And completely stress free. All you have to do is get to your airport and then just sit back and enjoy. The best part though is the personal touch - getting to know both Melissa and travel mates in such a small group - you will walk away with a newfound family. I will be planning the next one shortly!
