Honeymoon
Reviewed By CJ - TX | Traveled to Cabo San Lucas | Baja California Sur | Mexico
We had an amazing experience working with Anke for our honeymoon! She found us the perfect resort—Secrets Puerto Los Cabos—which ended up being everything we hoped for and more. Anke is incredibly attentive, quick to respond, and always made us feel like a priority. She offered wonderful suggestions throughout the planning process and was great at clearly breaking down pricing so we knew exactly what to expect. We’re so thankful for her help in making our honeymoon unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Anke Minassian responded
"Thank you, CJ, for the wonderful 5-star review! It was an absolute pleasure working with you and Jadah to plan and book your honeymoon in Los Cabos. I'm so glad you both had an incredible experience at Secrets Puerto Los Cabos, along with thrilling activities like zip lining, ATV rides, and more.
I truly appreciate your continued trust in my services and look forward to helping you plan your next unforgettable vacation!"

Italy
Reviewed By BT - Maryland | Traveled to Italy | Europe
This was a trip of lifetime! Four friends spent 11 days touring Rome, Tuscany, Florence and Venice. The hotels were fabulous and the private tours were personalized and just outstanding. We learned so much about the art and history of these beautiful cities. Highlights included wine tastings, a cooking class, time to wander through medieval cities, a tour of Prosecco country, and a 5 star gourmet lunch atop a hill with spectacular views. Thank you Anke! The trip was amazing and perfectly planned!
