About Me

Mirror Lake at Yosemite National Park
Mirror Lake at Yosemite National Park

                      "Memories Made Together Last a Lifetime!"

 

Some of my fondest memories are of travel with my family and friends. I recently returned from a fun and memory filled family trip to Yosemite National Park, paired with San Francisco. It was the perfect blend of natural beauty and wonder with urban landscape and culture. This summer I also took an amazing, all-inclusive, girls trip to Cancun, with three mommas and daughters to celebrate graduation from high school. We spent a week enjoying fun in the sun, exploring cenotes, snorkeling in aquamarine waters, swimming with dolphins and taking in a breathtaking catamaran cruise at sunset. There is so much beauty and wonder in this world to explore! 

Does the thought of planning a memory-making family, friends, or honeymoon trip seem overwhelming? I would love to work with you to plan your next trip. Whether you are looking for total relaxation and pampering, or an on-the-go, adventure filled trip, I will listen to your wants and needs and help you make it happen. Let me do the work while you focus on what is important; making memories! 

What can I plan for you? Get in touch today and let's get started!

A GREAT trip to support our son!
Reviewed By cplatt100 - Stockton, IL | Traveled to El Paso ~ Texas ~ USA
Melissa was a joy to work with. She made it VERY easy for us to get our direct flight, a very nice rental car and a very nice, comfortable and affordable hotel. The return journey was just the same! We were attending our son's white coat ceremony for his first year of medical school. She was very excited and happy for us. We plan on going to visit him again soon and will definitely get her expert assistance.
Melissa Harbach responded

Fun in the sun
Reviewed By Steph - Apple River, Illinois | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Melissa is a wonderful travel agent. She listened to what we wanted for our vacation and took the time to research the best options for us. We had a family member with health issues and she contacted the resort to request accommodations to meet the family member’s needs. She compiled all of our emails, travel documents, and requests into one email so we had easy access to everything. As our trip was getting near, the weather for traveling didn’t look good. She contacted us to come up with a plan if we were delayed in our travels. Her thoroughness and communication before our trip was exceptional along with checking in with us when we returned home. I highly recommend Melissa as a travel agent and I will be contacting her for future trips.
Melissa Harbach responded
"Thank you Steph for your kind words! It was my pleasure to help your family. I am glad that the weather held and you were able to get to your destination without issue. I look forward to helping you plan future trips! "

Alaska adventure
Reviewed By Lookingup12 - Woodbury, MN | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Melissa was probably one of the BEST agents I have worked with. She has great organizational skills, answers question very promptly and with details that are easy to understand. She gave tips for each destination and how to dress for weather. She asked frequently our desires for selections on trip. She was truly sweet in her personality. I would DEFINITELY recommend her! Love the app that laid out entire trip, documents, flught & cruise links/details, and fun facts in one each screen!! This was separate of the cruise app which was nice and it was much easier to follow. She notified us of deadlines and her/others experience/recommendations traveling to the destination. LOVED HER!!!
Melissa Harbach responded
"Than you for your AWESOME review! Now that your trip is over, I will miss our phone conversations while we planned! You were an AMAZING client to work with and I would LOVE to workout with you in the future!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Client Testimonials

First Time Cruise
"This was my first cruise and I had no idea what to expect, I truly appreciate Melissa’s recommendation to sail with Celebrity. My daughters and I loved our state room and the ship itself. The Travefy app made it easy to navigate our trip. I will definitely be booking with You and Crew again."

White Coat Ceremony-Peace of Mind!
If anyone is in need of a great travel agent we would highly recommend Melissa Oberreuter Harbach. She orchestrated our trip to New Mexico which went very smoothly. The hotel was beautiful and near the college. Flights went perfectly. Rental car had killer AC which was needed as it was 110 every day. She checked in with us and made sure everything was great. We truly appreciated her and would definitely recommend her professional services! We'll surely use her again!!!! Gave us such peace of mind!
