What Our Clients Say

  • HELPED ME PAST MY PLANNING PARALYSIS

    Excellent experience! Ann leveraged her experience booking other first-time Japan trips to suggest a great initial itinerary, helping me overcome the overwhelming set of options.

    Given my interests in Bonsai, theater, and cultural elements, she customized and found great experiences I had never heard of. Her restaurant selections were amazing.

    I have dietary preferences that can be difficult to handle in Japan (no seafood), but Ann found exceptional restaurants covering many different styles of traditional dishes."

    Nick N, Japan

  • TURN TRAVEL ASPIRATIONS INTO REALITY

    Our 25-day vacation to Japan was a seamless and delightful experience, all thanks to the exceptional services provided by Ann. Her meticulous planning, organizational skills, and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of our journey.

    What truly set her apart was her ability to adapt to unforeseen challenges posed by COVID-19. When we needed to cancel and rearrange hotel reservations, she handled the situation with grace and efficiency. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a travel professional who goes above and beyond.

    Muhan G, Japan

  • SHE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND

    Ann was excellent to work with. She was clear and communicative throughout the process, presented us with a great set of options, and really listened to our feedback to help us customize our travel for our family's needs.

    Halfway through our trip, there was an unplanned disruption (a volcanic eruption!) and Ann proactively worked to shift plans for us even without our asking. She went above and beyond.

    Andy T, Iceland

  • ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC TO WORK WITH

    Ann was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was always prompt in responding to our requests, even when they were a little last-minute. She nailed our preferences with hotels, restaurants, and excursions. I cannot speak highly enough about our travel experience, all thanks to Ann!

    Amanda S, Switzerland

  • THE TRIP WOULD NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT HER

    Ann was very knowledgeable and detail-oriented in arranging my trip. The trip would not be the same without her. Everything was very smooth, and she even helped to arrange fantastic restaurant reservations.

    Kevin C, Paris

  • TRULY EXCEEDED ALL OUR EXPECTATIONS

    Thank you for helping us plan such a fantastic trip to South Africa; it truly exceeded all our expectations and was everything we dreamed of and more. The local contacts and pickups were seamless; every car was punctual and professional.

    Both Cape Cadogan and Singita were absolutely outstanding. The highlight was undoubtedly the safari experience at Singita, from the expert guides to the stunning wildlife, every moment felt surreal.

    Will M, South Africa

  • FROM THE MOMENT I REACHED OUT, SHE WAS WARM, RESPONSIVE, AND TRULY ATTENTIVE

    Ann completely exceeded my expectations! From the moment I reached out, she was warm, responsive, and truly attentive to what I envisioned for my 40th birthday celebration.

    Her knowledge spans far beyond the Piedmont region; her insight into multiple destinations was truly impressive. Every detail, from the beautiful accommodations and exceptional dining to the thoughtfully planned excursions, was executed flawlessly!

    Ana A, Piedmont

  • ANN IS A SUPERSTAR!

    Ann is a superstar. She understands the wants and needs of her clients and finds the best options for them. She picked ideal restaurants and experiences for us that matched our preferences perfectly. When the rare thing went awry, completely outside her control, she rectified it immediately.

    I have sent many of my friends to her for booking their dream vacations, and all have had an experience similar to mine.

  • No, the hotel rates will be the same as what you see online. If there’s a slight difference, the added value of our perks such as daily breakfast for two, property credit, and potential room upgrade, surpasses the extra cost. Where there is a difference in the regular rate and the rate with partner benefits, we will mention this to you when we quote the rates for full transparency and let you know what our recommendation is.

  • Yes, some of the perks we offer are the same as Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts benefits but let us tell you that there are differences between booking with AMEX and through us.
