A Perfectly Planned trip to a dream destination!
Reviewed By Danielle - Boston, MA | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
I love to travel and have had the pleasure of visiting some fantastic destinations. However, my trip to Greece was undoubtedly one of the most memorable and fantastic travel experiences I've ever had. Every aspect of this travel experience was expertly curated by Candice, and her attention to detail was phenomenal!
The travel itinerary included stays at boutique hotels and an amazing villa, sunset sailing trips, a savory meal cooked by a personal chef, wine tasting activities and sightseeing tours. Although I was traveling with a small group--there was also ample time built in to allow for independent adventure, if preferred.
This trip set the bar for luxurious travel because it was such a unique and personalized experience. I just had to grab my passport and go!

Fab trip to the UK and all I had to do was show up
Reviewed By Cat - Herndon, VA | Traveled to United Kingdom ~ Europe
I had a fantastic experience with Candice. I'd never used an agent before, and wow, I'll never go back to planning my own trips again. I can't say enough good things about her expertise and dedication to making my trip to the UK memorable.
She obviously has a passion for travel, and is very knowledgeable and experienced with a number of destinations. Candice took the time to truly understand what I was looking for in this trip and has a knack for suggesting unique and exciting destinations and experiences, that I never could have found on my own.
What I appreciate most is her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everything would go smoothly. It saved me so much time up front, and then I was been able to relax and enjoy my travels with the peace of mind that everything was taken care of.

European Island Honeymoon
Reviewed By G&T - Washington, DC | Traveled to Menorca Island | Spain | Europe
We wanted a 12-day European island honeymoon but had no idea which destinations made the most sense. Candice created an exciting, seamless itinerary through Menorca, Dubrovnik, and Corfu that exceeded our expectations. Her support throughout the trip was exceptional, and the thoughtful touches — champagne on arrival and rose petals on the bed — made it truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Candice.
