Stephanie Van Bibber-Martin

Stephanie made everything so simple and easy. She always gave us options with her personal recommendations. She helped us with transportation and accommodation. She gave us tips on using the wonderful Italian train system. She suggested possible tours and sites to see. She recommended hotels and apartments and booked some for us. She is a wonderful resource for the self directed traveler and will organize an itinerary for those who like to know what is happening next. Five stars from us!

After helping us plan our cruise, Stephanie also planned an incredible two-week Europe trip for our family once the cruise ended. Transitioning from a cruise to multiple countries on our own felt overwhelming at first, but she made the entire experience feel smooth, organized, and exciting from beginning to end. Stephanie truly listened to us. She took the time to understand not only the places we wanted to see, but also our worries, travel style, pace, likes, dislikes, and budget.

What she created for our Europe trip was nothing short of incredible. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated and perfectly balanced, from the hotels to the flow of each destination. The trip felt seamless, stress-free, and so “us.”

One thing that stood out throughout the entire process was how quickly and thoughtfully she responded to every question and concern we had. As first-time international travelers, that level of patience and reassurance meant so much to us and gave us confidence every step of the way.

What impressed me most was how spot-on she was with our budget while still making the experience feel special and memorable. It never felt cookie-cutter. It felt personal.

We came home with amazing memories and so much gratitude. We would absolutely trust her again for future adventures.

Stephanie was marvelous! She was so helpful from the planning stage to the final pre-trip preparations. She made a PDF with all of our flight, vacation insurance as well as any contact numbers that we might need. Whenever I had a question, she responded back to me that day.

I saw a post on an Amawaterway chat board asking "Is it normal to never hear from your travel agent after final payment??" Stephanie would never do that. She texted reminders all along and always offered to help in anyway.

She's now my travel agent for life!

I recently had the pleasure of working with an absolutely outstanding travel advisor who went above and beyond at every step. From the very first conversation, she listened carefully to what I wanted and crafted an itinerary that was thoughtful, organized, and perfectly tailored to my anniversary needs. We had a wonderful time!

She handled every detail—big and small—with professionalism and genuine care. Even when unexpected changes popped up, she responded immediately, offered solutions, and made sure everything stayed seamless. Her knowledge, dedication, and personal touch turned what could have been a stressful process into an enjoyable and exciting experience.

I’m truly grateful for Stephanie's exceptional service and will absolutely be returning for all future travel planning. Highly recommend!

I had such a wonderful experience working with Stephanie through Fora! From start to finish, she was attentive, proactive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She really took the time to understand what I was looking for and helped me narrow down my options between two destinations. Thanks to her insight and guidance, we landed on Puerto Rico and it couldn’t have been a better fit.

Stephanie made the entire decision-making process feel effortless, and her cheerful, responsive communication kept things stress-free. On top of that, the added perks she was able to secure through Fora truly elevated our trip. We received so much more value than we would have on our own, with extras that felt truly luxurious.

If you're planning a trip and want expert support that makes everything smoother and more special, I can’t recommend Stephanie enough!
