The Absolute Gold Standard for Travel Planning
Reviewed By Jean Hessburg and Ron Parker - Manaus | Traveled to Brazil | South America
If you are planning a trip—especially to a destination as unique as Manaus and the Brazilian Amazon—do yourself a favor and book with Sally Zalk with Luxury Travel.
My husband and I recently returned from a trip to Manaus that was, quite literally, the trip of a lifetime. From the moment we began the planning process, it was clear that Sally isn’t just a travel agent; she is a true expert and a specialist in the region. Her deep knowledge of the area’s nuances ensured that we didn't just see the sights but truly experienced the heart of the Amazon in a way we never could have on our own.
Why Sally is Exceptional:
Total Peace of Mind: We felt incredibly well cared for from start to finish. Every logistical detail was handled with precision, allowing us to relax and enjoy the journey.
Exceeded Expectations: Every accommodation Sally selected was perfect. Not only were our needs met, but they were consistently exceeded. She has an intuitive sense of what makes a stay memorable.
Tailored Expertise: She truly understood our vision. She curated an itinerary that balanced adventure with comfort, demonstrating she understands both the logistics of travel and the destination's "soul".
It is rare to find someone so dedicated to their craft. Sally turned what could have been a complicated international trip into a seamless, magical masterpiece.
We are so impressed that we have decided to work exclusively with Sally for all our future travels. If you want a flawlessly executed trip where you feel like a VIP every step of the way, look no further.
Thank you, Sally, for the memories we will cherish forever!

A Spectacular European Cruise experience Ever!
Reviewed By G&M - Miami Florida | Traveled to Croatia | Europe
You and your vendors from Avanti to the Explora were very efficient! On sailing day someone came to the lobby, walked us 10 min to a water taxi that took us to private car to the port. Great! The ship is a palace. Everything is so new and stunning. Food a 10 so far and the service is amazing. Can’t imagine a cruise more spectacular Sally. Thank you! All perfection, service , food, attention to every detail. We are already talking about the next one!
Thanks for all your care and attention and constant communication!

Extraordinary family trip!
Reviewed By MikeB - Estero, Florida | Traveled to Athens | Greece | Europe
Qualities of a 5 star hotel include exceptional service, a high level of personalized service, and attention to detail where every aspect is carefully considered. Sally is a 5 star travel consultant and those words describe her perfectly. And she is patient, caring, knowledgeable and always goes above and beyond.
Sally planned a trip to Greece for our family of 10. It was no easy task with 3 families from 3 different states (2 seniors, 4 adults, and 4 teens). From our very first phone consultation, she provided ideas, options, and advice that only someone with her expertise can provide. Best of all, she did it within our budget.
She booked all our excursions and transportation with highly rated companies who sent guides and drivers who were professional and always willing to meet our needs.
During our last night in Greece, our family was so appreciative of her service, we took a group picture with a sign that said “Thank you, Sally!”
We’ve already asked her to start planning our next trip in 2027! Sally is simply the best!
Sally Zalk responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words! I loved working with you and your family making all your dreams come true! I look forward to the next adventure!"
