Vanessa Abbe

My wife and I worked with Vanessa to celebrate our 20th anniversary in Italy this Fall (Oct 2024). I have never used a travel agent before, but I am confident Vanessa will be helping us with future trips. Vanessa was a pleasure to work with and made our Italian adventure worry-free. She coordinated daily tours, made meal recommendations, and ensured we were aware of nuances in each city (e.g., ensuring we get off at the right train station). Her network of friends in Italy allowed us to enjoy dinner at a local home in Florence and experience a perfect wine tasting in the Tuscan countryside. It was clear Vanessa was vested in ensuring our trip was personalized and stress-free. She prepared a daily itinerary (with options) that had flexibility to relax but also ensured we hit all the main attractions!

Top notch agent that made our trip ever better than I could have imagined. Her attention to detail and creative ideas really allowed me to travel stress-free. She prepared documents and had everything extremely polished and put together for us. I can’t wait to book my next trip with her!

Vanessa listened to my request and created a thoughtful plan that the whole family could enjoy. She provided a variety of options for excursions to choose from for exploring multiple areas of Costa Rica. It was just the right amount of activity and relaxation. Vanessa curated a special trip for our family to celebrate!

I had an awesome experience with Vanessa as a travel advisor! She planned my trip to France, which focused on Paris and two other regions - Alsace and Burgundy. Vanessa always listens to all requests, is able to ask the right questions and understands very well what my travel preferences are. She is very knowledgeable about various places and travel in general. Vanessa arranged the perfect trip with a clear and efficient schedule that was not overwhelming, and she made sure to include "less active" days to rest a bit. One other thing that made my trip enjoyable was that she included activities and sites that were off the beaten path and not typical tourist activities. Always reachable, she was able to fulfill all my requests and more!
