Connecting with Patti Baral from Fora travel was a Godsend! She is a warm, kind and knowledgeable individual with your best interests in mind. From our initial uptake interview to the final trip itinerary-the experience was seemless and FUN! I wish I had met her years ago... Patti took away all the stress of researching locations, hotel vetting, tour planning and logistical transportation requirements. Attention all trip planners!!! All of these tasks can be daunting, nerve-wracking and exhausting to the average person planning a trip on their own.
Because Patti is a Fora Travel Preferred Partner, special amenities are complimentary with her hotel booking services. The inclusion of breakfasts and a food and beverage credit with your stay are welcome cost savers! Not having to seek out your morning coffee/meal on vacation is priceless! Often hotel offerings are very expensive for the convenience. Bonus-Patti also kept track of our hotel reservations and was able to secure us with cheaper reservation costs at two of our hotels.
Our trip with Patti was to Prague, Vienna and Budapest- she made us our own Trip App with a detailed outline of each city's highlights, tipping etiquette and a day by day itinerary of where we were staying, tours planned and transportation. No bulky papers. No stress. All done with care and precision. Just follow the plan and enjoy your well earned time travelling.
My husband and I had an amazing vacation thanks to Patti. The hotels were luxurious, in the best locations and well situated for our touring. Our tours were well chosen and we experienced all the highlights each city had to offer. Transportation to and from our locations was uneventful.
I am thankful to have met my new friend Patti and look forward to many more years of travel with her as my guide. She's the best:)

My first experience with a travel advisor was well above my expectations. Patti took time to explain our booking, the beautiful things the Empress had to offer and also recommended some amazing places near by that were a must to check out. It was like she knew what we would enjoy!! An amazing experience!! AND the personized card that was waiting for us in our room from Patti and her team... the little things that make an experience a memorable one.

Patti went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Mexico was perfect. The upgrades and VIP treatment at The Riviera Maya EDITION At Kanai was very much appreciated. She also found the best tour operator for my solo day trip so I didn't have to worry about figuring out transportation, fees, transfers, or anything. I'm already looking forward to having Patti assist me on my next big trip!

Patti’s attention to detail and follow through on every one of those details was second to none. And on top of that — she’s a wonderful person to deal with for travel arrangements. She made it fun and I loved how she genuinely shared in our delight. Thank you Patti very much! The cards we received along the way were a really nice touch!
