Beautiful beach getaway!
Reviewed By Sarah - St. Louis, MO | Traveled to Isla Mujeres ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Alicia is phenomenal to work with. She is knowledgeable, detail oriented and passionate about what she does. We couldn’t ask for a better person to help us plan our travel!
We’ve used Alicia several times now for travel and have always had the best experiences. This trip she helped us plan for a group of 16 friends to celebrate a number of 40th birthdays among us. Alicia made great recommendations on resorts based on the groups’ wish list. We ended up going with Secrets Isla Mujeres and it ended up being a trip of a lifetime.
Alicia takes care of every last detail to ensure the trip went smoothly and that everyone had peace of mind going in and a great time during our stay. She pulls out all the stops.
We just got back and can’t wait to start planning our next adventure with her. Thank you for everything, Alicia!

Family Disney Trip
Reviewed By MeganR - Lockport, IL | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Alicia took the time to provide us with options that fit our requests. Without having to ask, she booked us reservations at restaurants, and then we were able to decide if we wanted to keep them or make a change. Prior to our trip, we had copies of her recommended itinerary, which was very helpful when going to the Disney parks. In the past, we have not used a travel agent when going to Disney, but she was able to share tips with us that I never even knew about! I would definitely use her again in the future!

The BEST trip of our LIVES!
Reviewed By Jess - Princeton, NC | Traveled to St Lucia | South Africa | Africa
My husband and I traveled to St Lucia and had an amazing week staying at the Sandals Resort (Grand Saint Lucian). While my husband has jumped out of air crafts for most of his life, I experienced my first helicopter ride from the airport to the island. The views were absolutely stunning. We enjoyed a day of zip lining through the rain forest. What a RUSH! Most of all we enjoyed all the food and just soaking up the sun on the beautiful beach. A huge thank you to Alicia Cooper, the absolute best travel agent around!

DisneyWorld 4.0
Reviewed By katiekmiller - Gridley, IL | Traveled to Orlando | Florida | USA
Each time we use Live a Little Travel, Alicia Cooper, and her vast knowledge of resources, she shines! This is our 4th time using her for a Disneyworld resort/parks trip, and she did not disappoint. She was able to help us prepare with dates, payments, options of dining, and best use of our budget for lightening lanes, and pacing. Her own personal travel to locations such as Disney, their resorts, and dining options helps give her more than just a "paper-knowledge" of travel, but a hands-on, "here's what I would do" wisdom.

Amazing trip with friends!
Reviewed By Jlmbrucker - Forrest, IL | Traveled to Montego Bay | Jamaica | Caribbean
We were not sure what to expect going into this trip with being so close to Hurricane Melissa, but we were so happy we didn't cancel our vacation. Alicia was there with us every step of the way guiding us to make the right decision for our trip. She gave us options to guarantee we enjoyed our vacation even if it needed to be moved to a different date or location. We followed our resorts Facebook fan page and made the choice to continue with our trip. Absolutely zero regrets!! Getting through the Jamaican airport was a breeze. The people of Jamaica were so grateful for choosing their country to vacation. The resort was beautiful, pools were all open, beach was clear and clean, drinks strong, food was above average, the staff was very upbeat, lots of night entertainment along with daytime fun. This hotel is more of a "party" resort but there are also plenty of areas that are not "party". We upgraded to the oceanfront room and that was a must! The views were amazing. I have already been looking into an all inclusive vacation to take our 2 kids on with us!!

Amazing European Vacation Experience!
Reviewed By Spring - El Paso, IL | Traveled to Italy | Europe
In July we embarked on an unforgettable trip to Italy and Switzerland, and I can’t thank Alicia and Live A Little Travel enough for making it all so seamless, personalized, and stress-free! From the very first consultation, they took the time to understand our travel style, interests, and pace. Every detail—from the hotels to the private tours and scenic train rides—was perfectly curated.
What always stands out (we are a repeat client!) is the level of care and communication from planning and then throughout the trip. Alicia is always available and willing to help. If you’re thinking about a European adventure, I couldn’t recommend Live A Little Travel more highly. They turned our dream itinerary into reality and exceeded every expectation.

Alicia planned a trip for my family in 2018. We haven't done a big family vacation like that one until this year (life got really busy!). So when my family decided we wanted to do a big vacation this year, I knew Alicia would help to plan another amazing vacation for us.

She included information on the resort, beach conditions, restaurant attire, food review, etc, everything that helped us to make a decision. When I met with her to go over the documents and paperwork about 3 weeks before the trip, she had everything we needed in a plastic travel folder that made everything so easy!

We went to baseball games in Anaheim, Los Angeles and San Diego along with Disney Land, the beach and fun activities in between.
In August we flew to New York for a week with 4 teenage boys for another baseball game, sightseeing, 911 Memorial, Times Square, shopping, etc. We then took Amtrak to Toronto, Canada for another baseball game. We then flew out of Toronto for home.
Alicia made everything fall into place for us. We had absolutely no glitches!! We will absolutely be using her again for further travel.

Dream "Friends" Trip
Reviewed By Andy - Saint Louis | Traveled to Mexico
We had a group of 8 couples looking for the perfect "friends" trip when we reached out to Alicia. From the start, she could not have been more accommodating and quick to respond to all of our questions. Alicia provided our group with a number of options that fit our price range, and when we picked a resort that was still under construction leading up to our trip, she regularly provided updates and alternatives in case construction wasn't complete. Fortunately, our resort was ready by the time of our arrival and we had an absolutely amazing trip. Our trip required several types of transportation from the plane we arrived on, to the airport shuttle to a dock, and eventually our boat ride to the resort. Each stage went as planed, and our group knew what to expect which diminished much of the stress of traveling. Alicia was very excited about the Impressions Isla Mujeres by Secrets resort we picked, and it truly lived up to our expectations.

20th Anniversary Celebration
Reviewed By Boslet - ElPaso, Illinois | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Alicia was wonderful! We have had the pleasure of having her plan 2 of our trips and already are looking to plan the next couple with her. She gave us many options to choose from
With one what we were looking for. She helped us find the perfect adult only, all inclusive resort for our 20th anniversary getaway. It was beautiful and luxurious. We had an incredible swim out, ocean view suite.

Great Family Vacation
Reviewed By Julie - El Paso, IL | Traveled to Puerto Vallarta ~ Jalisco ~ Mexico
Alicia is very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient (we can be indecisive!). She researched several options for us and then helped guide us in making a decision. Provided lots of good information prior to our trip to help us make sure we were all ready to go. We had a great time and everything went very smoothly. Will definitly use Alicia again to help plan our next trip.

Great Resort!
Reviewed By Krystal - Hudson, IL | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Alicia helped us pick a wonderful family friendly resort in the Dominican Republic and we loved it!! She is great about email responses in a timely manner and very knowledgeable about different destinations that meet our interests (rather that be family friendly or adults only). She is also currently helping me plan several other trips in the near future that we are looking forward to. I'd highly recommend her!

Best Vacation at Dreams Flora!
Reviewed By Heidi D. - Normal, IL | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Alicia was super knowledgeable! When trying to find a place for our family (and three other families), she made the suggestion for us to go to Dreams Flora in the Dominican Republic. She planned our entire trip for us including our flight and the resort it went great. We met with her a couple weeks before to go over our itinerary where she made suggestions for when we were at the resort. When we had questions, she was quick to answer them. It was nice to be able to meet with someone in person but she did give us the option to have everything sent over email if we couldn't meet in person. I can't say enough good things about our experience with Alicia. Her suggestions were teriffic and she clearly knows a lot about her business. Our vacation was amazing and we will definitely be reaching out for help in planning our next trip!
