A Perfectly Planned trip to a dream destination!
Reviewed By Danielle - Boston, MA | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
I love to travel and have had the pleasure of visiting some fantastic destinations. However, my trip to Greece was undoubtedly one of the most memorable and fantastic travel experiences I've ever had. Every aspect of this travel experience was expertly curated by Candice, and her attention to detail was phenomenal!

The travel itinerary included stays at boutique hotels and an amazing villa, sunset sailing trips, a savory meal cooked by a personal chef, wine tasting activities and sightseeing tours. Although I was traveling with a small group--there was also ample time built in to allow for independent adventure, if preferred.

This trip set the bar for luxurious travel because it was such a unique and personalized experience. I just had to grab my passport and go!

Fab trip to the UK and all I had to do was show up
Reviewed By Cat - Herndon, VA | Traveled to United Kingdom ~ Europe
I had a fantastic experience with Candice. I'd never used an agent before, and wow, I'll never go back to planning my own trips again. I can't say enough good things about her expertise and dedication to making my trip to the UK memorable.

She obviously has a passion for travel, and is very knowledgeable and experienced with a number of destinations. Candice took the time to truly understand what I was looking for in this trip and has a knack for suggesting unique and exciting destinations and experiences, that I never could have found on my own.

What I appreciate most is her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everything would go smoothly. It saved me so much time up front, and then I was been able to relax and enjoy my travels with the peace of mind that everything was taken care of.

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!

Amazing Greece getaway thanks to Candice!
Reviewed By KHill - Asbury Park, NJ | Traveled to Greece | Europe
I can’t say enough about Candice she is amazing! We had a short window to plan our trip and she handled it with ease and hit on all of the things that we wanted to do! She took the stress and logistics out of traveling internationally and the tours she set up for us really hit the mark and allowed us to enjoy and explore Greece to the fullest. Candace was also 100% there for us throughout the whole trip she was able to help us with my bag being lost and arrange travel so we could get the bag back and not miss out on any of our excursions. I’d give Candice 100 stars if I could and will be referring her to friends and family. Thank you so much Candice!

European Island Honeymoon
Reviewed By G&T - Washington, DC | Traveled to Menorca Island | Spain | Europe
We wanted a 12-day European island honeymoon but had no idea which destinations made the most sense. Candice created an exciting, seamless itinerary through Menorca, Dubrovnik, and Corfu that exceeded our expectations. Her support throughout the trip was exceptional, and the thoughtful touches — champagne on arrival and rose petals on the bed — made it truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Candice.
