Unforgettable Journey to Spain
Reviewed By HappyTraveller7 - Louisiana | Traveled to Madrid | Spain | Europe
Our trip to Madrid and Barcelona in June 2025 was truly a trip of a lifetime. Sandee took the time to understand that we wanted a blend of culture, cuisine and history. We asked her to pack as many tours and activities into this vacation as possible. She did just that! Every detail was thoughtfully customized just for us! The boutique hotels were charming and ideally located, the transfers were smooth, and the activities she planned for us were absolutely amazing! I cannot say enough about the private tours and the fantastic tour guides that Sandee booked for us! Every tour felt intimate and insightful! We toured cathedrals, palace’s, architectural marvels, had dinner on a private catamaran in the Mediterranean, and had a blast watching flamenco dancers. Every experience felt uniquely ours! Sandee was always just a message away, though everything was so well planned we were able to relax and enjoy every moment. Sandee, thank you so much for every unforgettable memory that we will ha

Fantastic trip!
Reviewed By Nancy - Santa Rosa, CA | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Sandee has helped us plan multiple trips for both just us and for our entire family. She listens to what we like to do and coordinates the perfect trip for us. Our last trip to Spain and Italy was exactly what we wanted- part land and part cruise. Sandee follows up on how we are doing during the trip and helps us with any questions. Everything has gone smoothly for every trip she’s helped us plan. Her knowledge of travel in different countries was so valuable. We look forward to working with Sandee with all our future travel plans!

The varied adventure we were looking for.
Reviewed By Stacey - Le Mans, Sable Sur Sarthe, Normandy, Paris | Traveled to France | Europe
We were trying to plan our long overdue honeymoon that included our now teenage boys. We wanted to explore a French canal on our own boat and our boys wanted to see the 24 hour Le Mans race and Paris. Sandee made it all work for us by reserving a canal boat on the Sarthe River in close proximity to Le Mans. Following the race we spent a few days exploring the villages along the Sarthe river, including taking in Vespers at an amazingly beautiful monastery. Sandee arranged private drivers and private tours for us as well. This included a drive to Mount St Michael and a tour of the interior. We had a private driver and tour of Normandy which was not part of our original plan in France, but was an amazing addition that Sandee recommended for us. Standing on Omaha Beach and Utah Beach was an experience my two boys will never forget. Sandee also arranged tours for us in Paris that included the Louvre and Versailles. We stayed in a beautiful hotel close to the Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay. Sa

    Our river cruise was fabulous!
    The ship was very nice, clean and safe. The staff and the service was wonderful. The tulips were at prime viewing time and our best weather day was at the Keukenhof gardens. Thank you again for all your assistance over the past 3 years! Will keep you in mind for future trips.
