Melissa was an exemplary travel adviser from start to finish. She customized an itinerary that catered to the interests of all travelers in our group in a way that made our trip top notch. From the well-located hotel choice, unique restaurant selections and outstanding private wine tour, our trip was a memory that I will cherish thanks to Melissa and her hard work. Cannot wait to book more vacations with her in the future!

I don't think I could have managed this trip with Melissa's help! There are not enough good things to say about our experience. As someone who does not enjoy planning, her services made our trip so enjoyable for everything. Melissa planned everything for our trip down to the last detail. All of her recommendations were exceptional. During our trip, local residents would recommend restaurants and each and every one matched up with where Melissa already had a reservation ready and waiting for us. Melissa was timely, professional, and extremely helpful with last minute questions prior to our departure. I would highly recommend her service and will definitely book with her again!

I recently worked with Melissa at Finding Pearls Travel to plan my trip to The Homestead in Hot Springs, VA, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish.
Melissa listened carefully to everything I hoped to do on my trip and then turned our conversation into a detailed itinerary for me to review. She made sure every single item I mentioned was included. Once the itinerary was finalized, she handled all the reservations—not just for the experiences at the resort, but also for outside restaurants and activities as well.
When you're on vacation, the last thing you want to do is plan or coordinate. It was such a relief to simply look at my itinerary, say “What’s next?” and know everything had already been taken care of. The communication throughout the planning process and during the trip was flawless and seamless.
I will absolutely continue to use Melissa and Finding Pearls Travel for both business and personal travel in the future. Highly recommend!

The Ultimate Carmel-by-the-Sea & Carmel Valley Travel Guide: Weekend to Weeklong
Carmel-by-the-Sea feels like a storybook brought to life, where mornings begin with ocean walks and afternoons linger among galleries, gardens, and charming cottages. Just a short drive inland, Carmel Valley shifts the pace with sun-drenched vineyards, golden hills, and a sense of unhurried retreat. Along the coast, world-class golf adds yet another dimension, where fairways meet the Pacific and every round feels unforgettable. Together, it’s a destination that balances inspiration and restoration—one that always draws me back.
