Oregon, USA Travel Agent Expert

If anyone is looking for a travel agent to Japan (in SE Asia, or anywhere!), do not hesitate to reach out to Emily. She was beyond amazing to work & helped us plan our DREAM honeymoon. She made everything so easy and stress free! We can't wait to use her again for a future trip soon <3

Emily planned our trip to Madrid. I cannot say enough good things about the service she provided! We had a slight mix-up with a planned tour, we messaged her, and she took care of it right away. If we had any questions, she was available by Facebook messenger almost immediately...
We are definitely going to use her again to plan a trip to Greece!

My partner and I had been planning this trip for almost a year now but ended up finding Emily to help out and solidify it all. She not only made the whole experience a breeze but gave us great insight and suggestions for local attractions and tours. We DEFINITELY recommend contacting her for any future trips!

Emily planned a wonderful first trip to Japan for us. We travelled a wide variety of locations and really experienced the country and its culture. We cannot wait to go back. The hotels were all very high quality, as were the meals. We especially loved the NOHGA hotel in Kyoto. Great food and a great room. Now that we know that its a chain, it's one we'll seek out when we eventually go back. We only attended one of the four activities (Umbrella Making) because of various circumstances, but that session was so enjoyable that it became a highlight of the trip.

Just wanted to say thank you again for the incredible experience. The yacht, the route, the crew, the balance of structured stops and relaxed moments. it was all exactly what we needed, without us ever needing to spell it out. We sailed from the Amalfi Coast to the Aeolian Islands, then over to Corsica and finished with a few perfect days anchored off the coast of Sardinia. This wasn’t our first group trip together, but it was by far the most dialed-in. Everything felt handled without being fussy, and the entire week unfolded with ease. We laughed, we lingered, we sipped rosé in swimsuits at noon and didn’t touch our phones unless it was for a photo. Everyone is already talking about where we’re going next. When Emily said to leave it to the professional, I'm glad we did. She did a great job.

We travel often as a family and I usually have a firm handle on the details, but this trip was seamless in a way that let me fully relax. We spent a week exploring Rome, Florence, and Venice on a family-focused itinerary that struck the perfect balance between guided experiences and freedom to wander. The kids loved the gladiator school and hands-on art workshops, while we appreciated the after-hours access and boutique accommodations in prime locations. Every element was anticipated: transfers, meals, daily pacing, even thoughtful surprises for the kids. Nothing felt rushed or over-packed. I didn’t have to chase confirmations or manage logistics mid-trip, which is rare and so appreciated. It felt like traveling with an invisible concierge team who already knew our preferences and delivered exactly the kind of elevated ease I value. Thanks Emily! We'll be back for more.

Out of all the kind of reviews to be writing, this one is a good one. If you have PMDD, then you KNOW. You know how hard it is. I was having a bad episode, and during one of my rabbit holes of seeing where I could run off to, I randomly searched 'travel with PMDD'. Emily's Instagram came up. That was huge - I am a business owner as well, I travel all over the place, I've used travel agents in the past, but I never thought 'PMDD' and 'travel' would realistically work. I reached out to Emily, and our familiar banter put me at ease. She had an idea for a week vacation for me, to join a women's group for a 10 day trip around Argentina. She presented me with everything, including asking about my cycle and during what phase I'd like to go. Again, something you don't think about until someone else asks you. Of course I went on this trip. The hotel in Mendoza is famous for it's hammam, spent a day with leading women winemakers, styaed overnight at these two sister's family ranch, a traditional Argentine ranch in the middle of the Andes mountains. WE did museums, tours, classes, restaurants, all with these incredible women that were in the tour with us. We were all around the same age. It was incredible. it was fulfilling and exactly what my soul needed. Emily's a breath of fresh air, and I will be using her again and again.

We arrived back home yesterday after quite a rocky journey home, the flights were delayed, but Emily made sure our heads stayed on straight, and she got us home safe and sound. Other than that, we had a fantastic time in Laos. WE'll be using her again for our next vacation. Thanks Emily!

We came to Emily with no clue where to start for our three-week honeymoon in the Philippines, and she delivered exactly what we didn’t know we needed. She guided us toward a week exploring the lagoons and beaches of El Nido, another in Cebu with just the right mix of culture and relaxation and capped it off with total quiet luxury on Pamalican Island. Every stop felt intentional, every connection smooth, and she was a joy to work with from start to finish. And she was NOT joking about how good the food is!!!

Our riverside resort was quiet, romantic, and surrounded by nature, exactly what we were hoping for. We loved wandering the local markets, spotting wildlife on a river cruise, and enjoying some of the best food we’ve ever had. There was the perfect mix of adventure and downtime. One day we were hiking through Bako National Park, getting couples massages and hanging out by the pool. Kuching was a dream! we’re already talking about going back. Thanks Emily!

Emily planned our honeymoon in the Canary Islands, and it was absolutely perfect!!!! We touched down in Tenerife, then island-hopped to Lanzarote and Gran Canaria, each stop felt so unique. She booked us in boutique cliff-side villas with ocean views, set up a private catamaran sunset sail past Los Gigantes, a wine tasting in La Geria’s volcanic vineyards... Transfers, inter-island flights, and a rental car were all handled.. We just showed up, and celebrated our first week as newlyweds.

We got married on the Oregon Coast and it was every bit as magical as it sounds — moody sunsets over the ocean, towering pines framing the ceremony, and a whole lot of heart behind every detail. Emily at Honey Haus Travel helped us craft an experience that felt intimate, wild, and entirely us. From the moment we arrived, everything just flowed. We had the kind of morning where you sip coffee in your robe, hear the waves out the window, and feel the butterflies set in slowly. Emily helped us find the perfect getting-ready space with windows that spilled light, and our daughter twirled in her dress while I stepped into mine. The energy was calm, grounded, full of love. Our first look? Unreal. Just us and the trees. I’ll never forget the way he turned around and smiled, and how the lace on my sleeves caught the sunlight like they were part of the forest. And the details? Every single one felt like a love letter. My bouquet looked like it was plucked straight out of a dream — full of dr

We planned our Morocco elopement with Honey Haus Travel Co, and it felt like stepping into a dream. Emily started us off at Riad Jardin Secret in Marrakech—think hand-painted tiles, lush courtyards, and vintage boho charm. After a few magical days in the medina, she whisked us into the Sahara, where the real magic happened. Our elopement took place at golden hour in the dunes outside Merzouga. Emily brought our Tulum-meets-Morocco vision to life: pampas grass, dried palms, gauzy linens, and warm terracotta tones that melted right into the desert. She took care of it all—our Berber guide, sunset camel trek, a ceremony framed by date palms, a fireside dinner under the stars, and a photographer who captured the soul of every moment. It wasn’t just a wedding. It was soulful, cinematic, and entirely us. If you’re dreaming of something earthy, elevated, and wildly personal—Honey Haus is the magic maker.

We worked with Honey Haus Travel Co for our Costa Rica elopement, and it was pure magic. Emily found us a hidden beachfront resort where the rainforest met the ocean—luxurious, intimate, and completely us. She handled every detail with care: legalities, a private chef, a dream photographer, even a surprise waterfall ride before our vows. It wasn’t a cookie-cutter wedding—it was a fully immersive, once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you want something truly personal and unforgettable, Honey Haus is the way to go.

We had this idea to go to Morocco for a while, and googled it one day and saw Emily's face pop up. Contacted her, I believe we were one of her first clients for Morocco. She informed us that she had lived there a few times, and that she would take great care of us. I could tell she was nervous, but she pulled this big R+R trip together, for my best friend and I, incredibly well. We stayed in Marrakech at La Sultana Marrakech, and she booked us a mountain biking excursion through the Atlas Mountains! My travel friend and I LOVED IT! She sent us to Essaouira, Agadir, and Tangier on our way out. 10/10

Emily planned an incredible trip to Spain for us—hitting Costa Brava, Caldes de Malavella, Seville, and Málaga. We gave her a general idea of where we wanted to go and when, and she came back with the perfect mix of stays, activities, and downtime. She really understood the vibe we were going for—seaside charm in Costa Brava, Cadaques, Seville, and Málaga. Every detail was handled, including boutique hotels (which I didn't know was even an option before she came along), to local guides, and all we had to do was enjoy it. She even told us to pack snorkel gear, which were glad we did! We wouldn't plan another Spain trip without her.

I first met Emily in 2019 when she planned my first trip to Spain, coincidently enough, she had just moved back from Spain. She has been planning my trips every year since. I have referred her to several friends and she now plans vacas for them as well. Her communication, recommendations and insight has been invaluable. I love working with her !

My wife traveled back to Manila to see her family, and fly back with her sister. I realized that I had given her a misspelled name, and they were already at the airport waiting to board. It must've been almost midnight when I called Emily in a panic, and she got it sorted out with literally less than a minute for final boarding. THANK YOU! She saved the day.

Emily has been our go-to travel advisor for the past few years. She plans all of our family vacations and truly takes care of everything. We send her a few destination ideas and some dates, and she comes back with great options. She’s always patient with our questions, good communication, and once we make a decision, that’s it, Emily handles the rest. All we have to do is show up at the airport.

Emily provides great service and goes beyond expectations with each idea we bring to her. We are a hard bunch to coordinate but she has done a good job over the past, 4 years.

Emily helped plan our family trip to Costa Rica. She provided options for hotels in our price range and suggested restaurants in the area. The hotel she booked for us was beautiful! Everyone had such a great time and loved the vacation.

She planned the perfect 9-day Maui trip for our group, three families traveling together, ages 5 to 62. We flew over from Portland, ORegon, so the flights weren't bad. She made everything easy from the start. We stayed at the Kaanapali Alii, which was perfect for a group. spacious condos, beachfront, walkable to Whalers Village, and super kid-friendly but still felt a little luxe. She gave us a great mix of chill beach time and adventures—snorkeling, scenic drives, amazing food recs... We never felt rushed, but we also didn’t waste time trying to figure things out. Honestly, it felt like traveling with someone who already knew us. THanks Emily

I worked with Emily at Honey Haus Travel for my birthday trip to Japan, and she delivered the kind of experience I didn’t even know I needed. When I first landed in Tokyo, everything was smooth—flights, trains, hotels, all lined up and super easy to follow (even after 13 hours of flying). She booked me into some really cool spots, like Hotel Musse in Ginza, right in the heart of Tokyo, and Onyado Nono Asakusa with the natural hot springs.. it was the perfect blend of modern and traditional. She even worked in a local bar crawl in Shibuya, and a visit to the Gundam Factory in Yokohama on my actual birthday!! What I really appreciated was how personal it all felt. If you’re looking for a trip where you can just show up and enjoy, this is it. Everything was handled, but it never felt generic. I’d absolutely book with Emily again.

Emily planned an incredible two-week trip to Japan for my husband and me, and it honestly couldn’t have gone better. We’re both photographers from Colorado, and she built out an itinerary that gave us so many beautiful, culturally rich experiences. Some highlights: the snow monkey day trip (absolutely worth the early start), a peaceful tea ceremony in Kyoto while wearing traditional kimono, and a fishing town walking tour that felt completely authentic. We also did a Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi tour that didn’t have an English-speaking guide, not ideal but in the end it made it more authentic. It was still one of the most visually stunning days we had. In Osaka, we took a deep backstreet tour that included dinner at a local spot, not a catered box like we were half-expecting. It was legit. Emily also helped us split our time between two Tokyo hotels, One@Tokyo at the start, and Shinagawa Prince at the end. She even went the extra mile to request a high-floor room with a view for my h

We just got back from a week at Hyatt Ziva Cancun, planned by Emily at Honey Haus Travel, and honestly, it was one of the smoothest family trips we’ve ever taken. Traveling with two teenage sons (you know how that goes) and a daughter with a food allergy means we’re usually juggling a lot of moving parts, but Emily handled everything with respect. The hotel was a perfect fit for all of us. The boys had activities to keep them busy (pools, water park, beach sports, girls), and having a proper gym on-site was a huge plus for me. My wife and I got a little breathing room, and our daughter’s dietary needs were taken seriously. SHoutout to the staff at Ziva, they were attentive and careful, which gave us real peace of mind. We had two oceanview rooms, plenty of space, and the food options, especially the à la carte restaurants. Happy happy. Emily booked private airport transfers, coordinated our flights and seat assignments, and took care of the small details most people don’t think of

Emily planned an unforgettable father-son trip to Dubai for me and my teenage son, and the entire experience was flawless. Our stay at the Hilton Dubai Jumeirah with an ocean-view room was awesome, and Emily found us the two big beds we needed. We had a private city tour, Burj Khalifa visit, beach time... everything ran exactly as planned. Transfers, flights, and activities were all coordinated perfectly. What really stood out was how smooth the logistics were—she even arranged a meet-and-greet at the airport after a long overnight flight, which made a huge difference. We never had to worry about where to go or when to be there. It was exactly the kind of support I hoped for by booking through a travel agent, and Emily nailed it. Will definitely work with her again for the next big trip.

We booked our Budapest trip through Emily and couldn’t have been happier. When one of our flights got seriously delayed, she managed to shift our entire itinerary back by a day and extend the trip so we didn’t miss anything. That right there is why you use a travel agent. Our room at Hotel Parliament was beautiful—super comfortable, and within easy walking distance of the Parliament building, St. Stephen’s Basilica, and tons of great spots. Emily clearly knows Budapest firsthand, she gave us directions to her favorite quesadilla spot, and even told us exactly what time to show up for the dinner cruise because she’s done it herself. It’s rare to work with someone who’s not just reading off a brochure but actually knows the vibe of a place. The whole experience felt thoughtful and easy. Thanks

Emily came through big time for us on a super last-minute Arizona trip. My wife and I were traveling with our three young kids, and she somehow managed to get everything lined up—places to stay, a Jeep tour through Sedona, even a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. The whole thing came together fast, but nothing felt rushed. She kept it stress-free, even with three kids in the mix. Couldn’t have pulled this off without her.

Emily planned an incredible Spain trip for my wife and me. We hit Madrid, Málaga, Tarifa, Gibraltar, Tangier, and Cádiz—all in 9 days—and everything was dialed in. Hotels were great (especially ICON Malabar), trains and ferries were smooth, and the private tour in Gibraltar and Morocco day trip were major highlights. It helped that she used to live in both Spain and Morocco... I was unsure on the best way to cross the border, and she assured us that the route she's taken, is good. She made the whole process easy, and we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. Highly recommend working with her.

Emily planned the most amazing trip to the Philippines for my 32nd birthday. She coordinated six of us coming in from different cities and made it feel effortless. Our stay at Bathala Resort in Panglao was perfect, and she hooked us up with a private canyoneering tour at Kawasan Falls! The balance of adventure and chill days was spot on. I’ll definitely be coming back to her for future travel plans.

Three women. One birthday. Zero desire to party with strangers in neon swimsuits. We wanted to lay by the ocean, eat good food, drink pretty drinks, and be taken care of—and that’s exactly what Emily gave us. She found us this quiet boutique hotel tucked away from the chaos, where the rooms smelled like eucalyptus and someone brought us fresh pastries every morning. No wristbands. No loud DJs. Just peace. Also, I am NOT a planner, but I didn’t have to lift a finger. Everything was arranged down to our mezcal tasting with a local who taught us how to smell ‘the soul’ of the agave (??!). This trip was basically therapy. 10/10 would recommend.

My new husband and I recently got back our honeymoon in Maui and it was so much fun. The travel agent, Emily, fully understood what we were going for and gave us a great trip. She had told us about when she was in Maui and drove the road to Hana, and we followed her advice for stops along the way. The hotel was cozy, and Emily had gifted us chocolates on our pillows, too.

Spent the most wonderful week at a yoga retreat in Lucca, Italy! This started out as a girls trip but ended up being a solo trip. Emily actually booked one of the most unique trips of my entire life! Hopefully she can join me on the next trip. Thanks Emily.

My family and I were looking for a long weekend getaway to the North East, and we came across Emily. She helped us narrow down a really comfortable Bed and Breakfast in upstate New York. We had our minds set on the city, but after discussing the pros and cons of what we wanted out of the trip, we settled on outside the city. She rented us a nice car, got the flights figured out, and rented us bikes too. Turns out, upstate NY was the trip we didn't know we needed. Emily did a great job pulling this off last minute. Watkins Glen State Park was beautiful to explore with all the fall colors.

I've never used a travel agency before, but planning a 25th Anniversary Trip to Europe was daunting. Having never been, I didn't even know where to start. Emily was responsive and professional and helped me plan the vacation of a lifetime.

I should never have worried. In fact, we never had to worry about anything the whole trip. Emily had all the details nailed down, from air travel and trains to ground transportation, tours and hotels. It was an AMAZING trip! My wife and I had a truly great experience. The food. The history. The wine. The memories! All made possible by Emily. Many thanks.

When we first contacted Emily about a trip to Morocco, she instantly got more excited that we did about it all. She set up a few glamping nights in the Sahara Desert and made sure our tours were not overwhelming at all. And the Riad was beautiful! Thanks Emily!

Oddly enough, I have known Emily for years and have always followed her on her social media over the years she's been traveling. So, when she brought up the idea to me one day about a year ago, about putting together a trip to Germany for Oktoberfest, I knew we would be in good hands. My family runs a small brewery and so the itinerary she put together for us was perfect for us. She took care of everything, and the trip was INCREDIBLE! Accommodations, restaurants suggestions, a bike tour and walking tour... we learned a lot and came back feeling rejuvenated.
Thanks Em!

Emily was a joy to work with! She was so communicative and had lots of suggestions. We contacted her with no idea of where to go, only a budget, and she has helped us plan an amazing vacation to Spain next Summer! She's very knowledgeable and keeps our recommendations and ideas in mind when making suggestions. We can't wait for our trip and are looking forward to working with Emily in the future!
