We began planning this trip four years ago, then Covid hit the world and everything was delayed, changed several times, and Melanie was our anchor who handled everything that came up. She arranged all of our pre and post extensions, in addition to the Viking River Cruise, and worked with various companies in Europe to ensure we had the best tours and experiences available. Gluten free food was needed on the planes and throughout our travels. Thanks to Melanie, there were no issues with food, travel, or tours. It was a trip of a lifetme with many wonderful memories, and I am grateful that Melanie took care of EVERYTHING in a pleasant, patient, and caring manner.

Melanie was extremely attentive and considerate, and we barely had to lift a finger. We had the time of our lives without the stress of having to plan it, couldn't recommend her more!

I have reaped the advantages of travel itineraries designed by Melanie two times: the first a fabulous yoga retreat to the Umbria region of Italy, which I took with my husband, the second a meticulously planned trip to New Zealand, which I did solo. Both trips exceeded my expectations. Melanie is detail-oriented and was extremely knowledgeable about both destinations. The yoga retreat was a wonderful combination of yoga sessions, meditations, and sightseeing. Everything promised was delivered. The three-week trip that I took alone might have been a little intimidating, but Melanie managed all the travel connections perfectly, so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. The breathtaking hikes were in gorgeous scenery , the kayaking was spectacular, and I even fit in a morning of hang-gliding with an experienced tandem hang-gliding instructor she personally recommended. Melanie is an experienced traveler, and she works diligently to make sure you get the adventure you want and more.
