Padma's reviews
Padma was SO attentive and helpful in booking our honeymoon to Italy. I love the process of researching hotels for vacations, but after awhile tend to get analysis paralysis. Her input was so helpful and made it all so much less stressful. She made these spreadsheets with hotel options for each location, complete with links and prices that made it so organized and easy. She took note of everything we said we were looking for, and found hotels that perfectly fit our needs. She even periodically checked with Expedia to see if any better deals for our chosen hotels popped up, and on one of the bookings, saved us several hundred dollars by cancelling the original reservation and rebooking us through Expedia. She really went above and beyond. She booked all of our train and ferry travel for us for a nominal fee, which took so much stress out of the planning process for me. Upon arrival at each of our hotels, we received a bottle of wine in our room, along with a beautiful bouquet and note from her. We would ABSOLUTELY utilize her services again. Couldn’t have been more thrilled with the thoughtfulness and care she provided.
