African Safari & Wildlife Specialist

My husband and I love taking trips to the US National Parks, but these were never easy to plan for us. We would spend so much time researching flights, picking out hotels, and deciding on where to go.

This time around, we asked Vessy to help us out, and WOW! Vessy took care of everything - our plane tickets, car rental, hotels, as well as the itinerary, which she planned based on our preferences and abilities. Vessy also gave us a link to a phone App, where we could see our itinerary day by day and our booking confirmations. But this was not all! Vessy gave us advice on what to pack, and she recommended specific trails and viewpoints. Frankly, we were astounded by her extensive knowledge of the national parks and all the attractions along the way! For 12 days, we admired the beauty of the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Antelope Canyon, Valley of Fire, and so much more.

Thank you Vessy for this unforgettable experience! We are so excited to see what you will plan for us next!

This was the most relaxing vacation I've ever been on. A lot of that has to do with the Majestic Colonial resort in Punta Cana. And a lot has to do with Vessi planning every aspect of our trip. I could not have been happier with this trip, Vessi planned every last detail for us, as well as the suggesting this fabulous resort. We can't wait to go again next year. I can't recommend her enough! Thank you so much Vessi for creating a great vacation and a great family memory for us...... ON TO THE NEXT VACATION!

Vessy was amazing and went above and beyond in helping us plan a Disney trip over the holidays! The ever-changing protocols and even a rollout of the new Disney app didn’t stop her from flawlessly arranging our trip and getting all the answers we needed from Disney. Our lodging, flights, transportation, and experiences are expertly planned and now we can relax and enjoy!! Thank you Vessy! Will post amazing pictures when we get back!

Vessy was fantastic, detail oriented, and went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our trip was addressed and taken care of. She helped us with things we didn't even know we needed help with, and thank Goodness for that. I would highly recommend her for all your travel needs, no question!

Vessy recently helped us put together a month long, multi-destination vacation to Italy and Greece. The trip was fabulous and went off without a hitch. Vessy was extremely attentive and promptly responded to all of our needs. I highly recommend Vessy for all of your travel coordination needs!

Vessy is incredible. We decided we needed help to coordinate multiple families on an international trip. Honestly, without Vessy, I don’t think we could have pulled it off. Her response time was incredible. She made herself available to each party to help answer any questions or concerns. She had perfect trip suggestions catered to our timeframe and trip goals. We are so grateful to Vessy for helping us make this trip happen! We would highly recommend her to help book your trip. She is simply amazing!

Thanks to Vessy, my husband and I had the most extraordinary experience in the South of France. She went above and beyond all our expectations, and we are so grateful for all the efforts she put into booking our trip to Nice. This was one of the best trips we’ve ever taken, and we travel a lot.
We are so looking forward to planning our next trip with Vessy!
Thank you so much!

Vessy made it extremely easy for us to pick out the places we wanted to go, and she went out of her way to make sure we were able to do some activities that we specifically asked for, like a Thai cooking class! She was very attentive and always checked in on us during the planning of the trip. Her knowledge of Thailand was amazing and helped us narrow down everything on the trip. We would highly recommend Vessy for your next adventure!

On the day of our departure, our flight was unfortunately cancelled, and Vessy did everything possible to get things resolved and got us going on our honeymoon! She was a rock star, and we will most definitely continue to use her for our future trips!

Vessy immediately addressed our needs regarding round trip flights and car rental. She took extra efforts to modify our plans to make them even more flexible, financially reasonable, and logical than we originally envisioned. She was always accessible, patient, and efficient in answering all of our numerous questions and always offered helpful alternatives when appropriate. We would definitely recommend Vessy for future travelers, whether they be novices or seasoned veterans. She relieved all the stress inherent in planning our trip, and we will gladly consult her again for future travels.

A friend recommended Vessy for a last-minute anniversary trip and she was AMAZING! She put together a fantastic 16-day itinerary to Turkey & Greece in no time. Vessy worked with us on every detail to give us plenty of options and considered our budget. The accommodations were great. She even surprised us with something special for our anniversary! The drivers were always on time; the tour guides were fluent in English,
professional, passionate and accommodated any asks. Our in-country 24/7 support reached out throughout the trip to make sure everything was going well - hot air balloons, sunset cruises, wine tasting, shows, private cruises, key historical sites, great meals and treats - way too much to mention in one
post.
We just got back two weeks ago, and I'm already planning my next trip with Vessy! If you've ever thought twice about using a professional travel planner, don't! Just call Vessy today!

Vessy is a superb travel agent! She goes WAY ABOVE and BEYOND to pay attention to every detail involved. I was amazed and made to feel at ease with last-minute requests for additional services throughout this last venture she arranged for me and my wife.
Vessy advised us on flights - schedules and pricing - and monitored them throughout the five weeks we were gone. She advised us on hotels for a short extension we made to Palermo, since we were already going to be in Sicily. And I must confess, the small boutique hotel Vessy suggested and booked was one of the very nicest we have stayed in throughout a lifetime of travel! She advised and booked a private tour of Palermo for us. The guide was superb and attentive to our needs and schedules. Vessy also arranged for transfers to Caltagirone from Palermo and back with the SAME excellent local driver. ALL of this happened because of her care and professional demeanor. Vessy Smith truly deserves my HIGHEST recommendation!

There is NO ONE like Vessy! She is the ultimate professional, an expert beyond compare, and somehow available 24/7. Vessy is always positive, truly flexible, and she makes everything right in a moment's notice. Take the word of this repeat client!

Working with Vessy was fantastic from the beginning to the very end! What we found particularly helpful as a family was her responsiveness to us while we were actually traveling. Our experience would have been very different without her enthusiasm and ongoing support! This was not our first time working with Vessy, and it definitely won't be our last!

We had a great experience working with Vessy. She suggested a wonderful all-inclusive resort she had personally visited. She booked our flights for our requested dates, a great suite in the hotel, transportation to and from the hotel, as well as insurance. She called the hotel with special notes and requests. When our return flight time was changed to a later time, she was the first one to know and found an even better alternative for our return - she got us to an airport closer to home arriving still at the original time. Vessy gave us information on travelling during Covid and all the forms we needed to fill. She also gave suggestion on things to do around the resort. The experience with her was great! All we had to do was provide her with a credit card, and she took care of everything. The prices that she provided for the resort for us were better than any prices we could have found by ourselves. We were happy customers and had the best spring break. We will work with her again!

Vessy is an amazing human being and she is so good at what she does. She made my upcoming trip almost stress free and she took care of everything. She always responded right away, even late at night and even tried to help complete my visas. She is 100% trustworthy and will take all the stress away for you to be able to go on your trip with no worries. I will be using her services for every trip from now on and she is very affordable for what she does. I would pay her more since she spends so much time planning and helping book everything for her clients. Thank you so much Vessy! We leave in a week and I am so pumped????

Vessy was so helpful and totally amazing in planning the perfect honeymoon to Thailand for my wife and me - 10/10! I would strongly recommend her to others looking to travel and will definitely be using her services for future trips myself!

I wanted to plan a really unique, luxury trip with my young family travelling throughout the Southern part of the United States. Being from Australia and totally unfamiliar with that side of the world, I felt totally overwhelmed. I was referred to Vessy and honestly, she did the most amazing job! She would always respond in minutes when I needed her, and her recommendations were 10 out of 10. Our trip was magical and she was a big reason for that. I can't recommend Vessy enough!

Our trip to Sicily was absolutely wonderful! Vessy handled everything we requested perfectly, including a few last-minute arrangements. She is the VERY best!!!!!

Vessy did a wonderful job planning our family trip to NYC. She nabbed us great flights and recommended a great hotel for us to stay in. She set up the car transfers from LaGuardia Airport, which made everything seamless and even helped us rebook onto another flight home when a better time opened up. Highly recommend using Vessy and this agency whenever you travel! We have used them 4 times now and could not be happier!

When Vessy first sent me the itinerary I requested, I was thrilled. The flight connections I was exploring on my own were nothing like what Vessy was able to come up with. The status of my trip to Borneo became feasible because of her expertise. At first I was skeptical but once I validated the flight information, I was relieved. The extra fee was well worth it. Vessy's response time was impressive and left me feeling assured that I had the best professional in my corner. I tried several other travel agents as well as researching these flights on my own, but Vessy came up with not only the best connections, but also the best deal, which more than made up for the cost of her services. I am so grateful that I was given her contact information from my travel company!

We had a lovely experience working with Vessy! Our group is large with complex requests, and she did a fantastic job trying to meet those requests. She was very personable and timely in her responses as well. We would highly recommend Vessy to anyone in need of a great travel agent!

She was wonderful. Very prompt to respond abs so gracious in helping us work through our travels for the first time to Europe. In these questionable times of travel she made us feel like we were in good hands and we so appreciated it !

Vessy helped me plan a family trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe, and it was simply amazing! I had never been to Africa before but thought it would be neat to experience a safari with my kids. Well, it totally surpassed our expectations! Vessy created a fantastic itinerary for us and recommended beautiful hotels and lodges for our stays. We saw incredible wildlife and learned so much from the safari guides, we are still amazed! Our trip ended in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, where we witnessed one of the most stunning waterfalls on the planet. Wow! The sheer power of all that water! This was our first trip to Africa, but it most definitely won't be our last, and we will be calling Vessy again to help us plan the next adventure. If you are looking for a travel agent who is knowledgeable and caring, call Vessy! You won't regret it!

Vessy helped me plan my dream African trip to Uganda and Rwanda. I had wanted to see gorillas in the wild for as long as I could remember, but I didn't have a clue where to begin planning a trip like this. Luckily, my research led me to Vessy, who is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Africa. I honestly couldn't have been more fortunate working with her. She planned every detail of my epic adventure, from my flights and car transfers to the accommodations, park permits and everything else in between. If you are thinking of visiting Rwanda, Uganda or any other country in Africa, be sure to give Vessy a call. She will go above and beyond to make your African journey an experience of a lifetime.

Helping one family plan travel is hard enough, but helping three families successfully navigate and successfully book a trip that meets a variety of parameters is legendary. Thank you Vessy for all the hard work, great advice, and prompt responses!
