"I can't wait for my next adventure!"
"Amanda has handled all of my travel arrangements over the past number of years. We spoke in detail on the sites I wanted to see, and she did not disappoint! She is very informative regarding travel experiences and has great recommendations on activities that you may not have thought of doing! One of my favorite trips was to Paris where she arranged a day trip to Giverny to see Monet's Gardens - it was incredible! The last trip was to Sicily where I learned to make homemade pasta and took a private boat trip around the islands. I have enjoyed all of my trips and can't wait for my next adventure!"

"She truly thinks of it all!"
"Amanda has a true skill when it comes to planning trips! She is thoughtful, thorough, thinks ahead, and does all of the research needed to make sure everyone has a wonderful trip! She makes sure to include things for everyone and listens to your wants/can't miss on the trip. I have been on trips to Germany/Austria and Spain with itineraries provided by Amanda. She planned everything from the flights to the different places worth seeing in each location as well as restaurants to try. She made sure we had tickets for certain places in advance to make it easier for when we actually got there. She figured out the best way to travel around each country/city. Everything is planned so you can thoroughly enjoy the vacation without having to worry about the details. She truly thinks of it all!"

"An adventure you will remember forever."
"Amanda planned another amazing adventure for me and this time it was Germany….a magical girl’s trip to experience Christmas markets that brought Christmas alive!!! Amanda also knew that if we were already in Germany we should take advantage of other travel options. She booked us a train to Austria. We visited Salzburg, she knew how we all loved the Sound of Music so she booked a bus tour which took us to places where the movie was filmed. It was perfect for us movie fans! If you give Amanda a general idea of the type of trip you are looking for she will run with it, finding all the places you shouldn’t miss seeing and finding things you may never have even thought of doing. Amanda will send you off on an adventure you will remember forever."

"She took care to make an itinerary that fit exactly what I was looking for."
Amanda has provided an excellent travel experience for all the trips I have taken using her travel planning expertise. She took tremendous care to learn what I wanted before making an itinerary that fit exactly what I was looking for. I love to travel but do not have the time to plan the trips I want to take. I took a trip to Ireland with my mom and dad. Amanda found the church where my dad's grandmother was baptized. Taking him there was an incredible moment and Amanda found a way to get it on our itinerary and make it happen for us. I highly recommend working with Amanda to plan your trip - It is well worth it!
