First Trip to Italy!
Reviewed By Dawn - Denton, Maryland | Traveled to Italy | Europe
We were invited to join our family in Italy to attend my nephew's wedding celebration. My husband and I had never traveled to Europe. I tried my very best to research, plan and book our trip but I struggled with indecision night after night accomplishing nothing. I finally did a Google search of travel agents in my area that specialized in Italy and that is how I found Candice. I emailed her early that morning and received a response almost immediately. We connected via text and set up a time to talk later that afternoon. She was an answer to prayer! I had wasted almost a month with my "decision paralysis" and Candice was just what I needed. She took the time to get to know me, my personality, my comfort level with traveling abroad and my travel budget. She worked with me over the next week(s) to create the perfect itinerary, incorporating the wedding venue as well as my desire to visit Florence, and the beach/coast. She took care of everything! Hotels, regional trains, high speed trains, private drivers and rental cars! Everything was conveniently organized in an online itinerary complete with confirmation numbers, driving directions and recommendations for local attractions. Despite a 6 hour time difference, when I called her, she answered! I look forward to planning our next travel adventure with Candice!

TRIPS With Candice
Reviewed By Joanie - OKC, OK | Traveled to Saint Lucia | St. Kitts and Nevis | Caribbean
Candice has helped our family arrange & book several different trips!!
Ages of our party range from 3- 73 years old and Candice always has something for everyone! We are a party of 11, so this is no minor feat! Her correspondence is always timely and reassuring. She stays in constant contact before, and after trip, always accessible for any questions or concerns.
Our last trip to St Lucia was a favorite, probably because it was most recent! Ha ha
The entire family now considers Candice a family friend! Can’t imagine taking a trip without her expertise and guidance. Planning Travel has become a joy instead of the anxious feelings I experienced before!!
Yay Candice! Love that Girl! ????????????

Solo Traveler in Seminyak
Reviewed By Cheryl - Seminyak | Traveled to Bali | Indonesia | East and Southeast Asia
From the initial call to this review, Candice has been there to respond to my questions and provide input. From the notes in my room to welcome me, I always felt that I had the best guidance and a knowledgeable agent to provide prompt responses when I had an inquiry about a transportation matter.
Thanks Candice, for wonderful Bali experiences; cooking, a private yoga session and shopping/dining in an active city filled with lots of friendly people. Looking forward to help planning my next experience in Madeira, Portugal in October 2026!

Pretty awesome South African adventure!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Candice to plan an unforgettable trip to South Africa, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Candice was attentive, knowledgeable, and always went the extra mile to ensure every detail was perfect. The food tour she arranged at a local hidden gem in Cape Town was awesome. Candice's passion for creating extraordinary travel experiences truly shine through. Thank you, Candice, for making our South African adventure a reality!

The best vacations of my life!
Reviewed By icbirth - DC | Traveled to Cartagena | Colombia | South America
Candice is a dream to work with!! She listens to your desires and budget and comes back to you with a trip you couldn’t have dreamed up on your own! My first trip with her was a group of my friends that all went on a nearly 2 week adventure to Columbia! It was a cultural experience for the eyes and mind and a tasty experience for the palate and at times so breathtaking I cried! She knew all the best restaurants and the hotels were simply stunning! She took care of every single detail! The flights, connections, the hotels, the sites…all taken care of with attention to our wants and needs! I loved her so much that she planned my 60th birthday trip to Mexico! I’ll write another review when that’s completed but up to this point she has taken again all the work out of the plan knowing exactly what I’m looking for! All I have to do is show up and lay in the sun! Do yourself a favor and let Candice take over your next trip! You won’t be disappointed!!

The trip of a lifetime
Reviewed By Marissa - Maryland | Traveled to Iceland ~ Europe
Candice helped us plan our adventurous trip to Iceland. She made sure to accommodate our needs for the trip by helping with getting our tickets to the lagoons,rental car and hotels lined up. All the hotels were very nice and the car was exactly what we needed in order to drive in Iceland where she made sure we had 4X4. She helped us get our entrance tickets to Blue Lagoon and Secret Lagoon both were amazing and relaxing after a long traveling day where we did not have to worry about getting those the day we arrived it was already set up. Candice worked with us patiently while we went back and forth with the plans. We saw so many beautiful things while driving waterfalls to black sand beaches Iceland is a must visit and I would use Candice to plan my trip again when I go back !

The trip of a lifetime !
Reviewed By MS - Woodbine | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Candice did an amazing job with our trip to the Bahamas. She was very thourough in making sure we got to do everything we wanted. The resort was beautiful and we didn’t have to go far to see the beach everything was walking distance. The resort Grand Hyatt Baha Mar had an animal sanctuary so it was fun for all ages to interact with the animals like flamingos and touch starfish. Our tour in downtown Nassau was very educational !
