Reviewed By JessK - Alexandria, VA | Traveled to Greece | Europe
Heidi is truly incredible. She has so much knowledge of so many different locations. From start to finish, you feel totally taken care of. From the initial conversation when she finds out your budget and wish list - to while you are on vacation and she is regularly checking in to make sure everything is going ok, you know Heidi has your back. She will find the best option for your budget and never tries to "upsell" you or push you past your budget. She has impeccable taste, as demonstrated by all the places she found for us, and she pays close attention to details. Between transfers, excursions, multiple ferries, and flights, Heidi handled it all and we had no hiccups at all. Or if we did, Heidi was the one handling it instead of us! I think the biggest compliment I can say is that I totally trust Heidi. I knew things would be ok, and when you are traveling in an unknown place that is priceless.

Amazing Trip to Greece
Reviewed By Jim M - Dallas, TX | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
I recently had the pleasure of working with Heidi for a 12-day trip to Greece, and she made the planning process a breeze. Her extensive knowledge and experience with Greek travel shone through as she helped us organize flights, ferries, transfers, hotels, and excursions across three beautiful destinations.
One standout moment: when an excursion was canceled, Heidi was already on it, coordinating with the travel company and our hotel to find alternatives—before I even knew there was an issue! Her proactive approach and responsiveness put my mind at ease.
She also added thoughtful touches for our birthday celebration, like having champagne waiting in two of our rooms. Heidi truly went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. I felt well cared for every step of the way and would gladly work with her again. Highly recommend!

Amazing Experience in Portugal!
Reviewed By Sue - Washington, DC, United States | Traveled to Portugal ~ Europe
Heidi is the first travel agent we’ve ever hired. She did not disappoint. My husband and I and our two friends decided to go to Portugal, but that was the extent of our planning when we contacted her. The first step was a prep call to talk through itinerary ideas and for her to get a sense of what we were looking for in the trip. She then came back to us with two really cool options, from which we were able to mix and match and build our customized itinerary. Heidi was super easy and flexible to work with. It was also helpful that she was familiar with Portugal and the areas we wanted to visit.
The trip was amazing! We loved all of the accommodations and the “excursions” were all really fun. We did a cooking class in Lisbon, a full-day winery tour in the Douro Valley and a port-tasting walking tour in Porto.
We would highly recommend using Heidi and Fontaine Travel to plan your next trip. She took all the stress out of vacation planning and delivered an unforgettable experience.

Awesome family vacation!
Reviewed By Ronnie - VIenna | Traveled to Mexico ~ Mexico
Heidi was a joy to work with! She met with my daughter and I to learn about what was important to us in finding the right trip for our family and then did all of the research and presented us with a number of options and talked through all of the details of each option with us so we could make an informed decision. Her understanding of how to plan a vacation to ensure that all members of the family - from teenagers to grandparents - would have a great time was so helpful. Once we made our decision, Heidi took care of all of the details and reservations, even making sure that we had dinner reservations on the resort for a few nights. She went the extra mile by checking in on us via text while we were at the resort (and while she was on vacation with her own family). No detail was missed and we all had a GREAT vacation!

I must confess that this was my first time entrusting travel plans to a professional advisor. However, any apprehensions were swiftly put to rest.
