Amazing trip!
Reviewed By Laurie - Mendota Heights, MN | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Meridith was amazing to work with planning our first family trip overseas! She made a few suggestions that I declined, and now that I’ve made the trip, I wish we would have taken her advice. Although our trip was fabulous, from fantastic accommodations to coordinated transportation, if we did it again, I would take her recommendations to take the train to more cities to expand our experience. I highly recommend Meridith for your travel needs. She was great!!
