Thank Goodness We Have a Travel Planner!
Reviewed By Homebrewer812 - Raymond, NH | Traveled to Colorado Springs ~ Colorado ~ USA
Ilja and Voyage Blue came through in a big way for us on our trip to Colorado Springs. Booking flights and rental car for us, checking in our flights went smoothly. Where Ilja and her team really shined was when our return flight was delayed for 2 days the morning of scheduled departure. All it took on my end was 1 phone and 1 text and Voyage Blue Travel made sure our flights were secured and got our rental car extended. My very first thought when I heard our flight was cancelled was "Thank goodness we have a travel planner!" No hassle for us and the best part was we got 2 extra 65 degree days with our daughter in Colorado while 20 inches of snow fell at home.

trip of a lifetime (#1)
Reviewed By Greg - Washington, DC | Traveled to Grenada ~ Caribbean
I'm on a quest to visit all the countries that start with my first initial and decided to hit all the ones in our hemisphere on one trip. A family member who worked with Ilja in the cruise industry recommended her and I'm glad she did. Along with Megan, she put together a close-to-perfect trip.
I experienced the culture and sights of all three countries (four days in Grenada and a week each in Guyana & Guatemala), learning more than I ever could've imagined. I saw waterfalls (incl one that's five times the height of Niagara), walked treetop bridges, saw native animals and birds, boated down a river, fed monkeys, ziplined (best ever), saw textiles being handmade, visited a coffee farm, open-air markets and the first capital of the Mayan empire, ate native foods, tasted rum, snorkeled (the underwater sculpture garden off the coast of Grenada is magnificent!!) and even got to see a volcano erupting. Topped off by a visit friends who live in Cozumel. Incredible!
Ilja Chapman responded
"Thank you for letting us be part of such a unique and unforgettable journey! Crafting a tailor-made itinerary to fit your incredible 'G-country' quest was truly a joy. With the help of our trusted local partners, we loved bringing each destination to life — from waterfalls and wildlife to culture and adventure. We’re already looking forward to planning the next chapter of your journey later this year!"

Reviewed By Colleen - Franconia, NH | Traveled to Portugal ~ Europe
Every trip I have taken through Ilja has been wonderful. She is so open to new ideas for an adventure and is so sincere in her aim to find the best trip ever for you. I can really enjoy my time off knowing all the work she has done in planning my vacation. On one of my trips I was traveling with a person who had some health challenges and Ilja did everything she could to make sure the holiday was safe and comfortable for my companion. She even made some last minute changes for us when they were needed with grace and a smile.
From now on EVERY trip I take I am going to put myself in Ilja"s good hands. She is just the best!

She makes it easy for oldsters!
Reviewed By Happy travelers - Naples, Fl | Traveled to Abano Terme | Italy | Europe
Ilja did an amazing job making our trip so easy from arranging for wheel chairs at the airports to prearranged transportation from the airport to the hotel or port of embarkation. When we changed plans that had already been booked she handled the exchange with a minimum loss of expense. It is reassuring that she is always able to handle problems during the trip through WhatsApp. It is such a relief not to have to deal with all the details of travel. I have recommended Ilja and Voyage Blue to my friends, without hesitation!

The trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Sues - Auburndale, Florida | Traveled to London | England | Europe
My friend and I had planned to travel to Europe but never got around to it. The main obstacle was that we had no idea how to make the arrangements. I tried many times but I didn't get too far. I then remembered that my BPW sister Ilja Chapman owned a travel agency. I contacted Ilja and gave her an overview of what we wanted to do. Ilja got to work and helped us put together the trip of a lifetime. The trip was awesome and stress free. The best part was that Ilja was with us every step of the way making sure we made our connections and that we arrived to our hotels safely. There were no issues with the scheduled events. I highly recommend Ilja and her team and I can't wait for my next trip. thank Ilja

Our Beautiful European Trip
Reviewed By Earle - Lake Mary, Florida | Traveled to London ~ England ~ Europe
My companion and I were interested in visiting Rome and Venice in Italy and London England.
It was too complicated for us to arrange so we contacted Ilja and it was the best decision we made. She worked to set up our itinerary and made all the arrangements that could be made in advance. This included all the plane and European train travel, the various hotel accommodations, and the transportation between transit points and destinations.
In addition, tickets were obtained for early entry to the Vatican and to see a play in London's West End.
We had a fantastic time on this almost 2 week European trip and I believe Ilja played a major role in making it so.
If I ever were to undertake another major trip, I would absolutely use Ilja and her company to plan and execute it. Ilja is one of the best travels agents ever!

Ilja and her assistant Megan did an exceptional job for us. We were a large and complicated group, with 19 people from 5 different family groups. We had six cabins, some with children from different families, making the booking quite complicated. Ilja and Megan took care of all of our questions and special needs professionally and promptly. We could not have asked for a better pair of cruise experts to help us. I highly recommend them as exceptional cruise specialists.
