A++ Travel Advisor

If you're researching someone to help with all travel experiences, I highly recommend Maria Burkett. She helped with an All-Girls Trip to NYC in 2024 and an All-Family Trip to Disney's Aulani Resort on Oahu, Hawaii in 2025. In my book, Maria earns an A++!

Dream Vacation
Reviewed By AB - Louisiana | Traveled to Greece | Europe
Maria helped to make our dream vacation a reality. When my husband and I got married, we didn't have the money to travel to Greece. So, we promised each other that we would get there for our tenth wedding anniversary. As that time approached, I reached out to Maria, but we were overwhelmed. Where do we go in Greece? Which islands? What can we afford? Do we want tot hit other parts of Europe as well? Maria was the one who suggested that we book a Virgin Voyage cruise. It was the best thing we could have done. We got to visit 3 islands and the mainland as well as stop in Turkey. We were intent on seeing all we could during the day and we traveled to the next spot while surrounded in luxury and relaxation on board the cruise ship. Maria found us the most wonderful gems to stay at before our cruise and during our overnight stay in Mykonos.
She helped us to build an on land itinerary that was balanced with history, beautiful sights, and indulgent experiences. She talked me through the exc

Reviewed By Gulfportmom - Gulfport, MS | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
We have no idea how many hours Maria worked to make our recent vacation plans flow perfectly. From booking our hotels at Walt Disney World, our Brightline tickets, planning each detail of our cruise (including sending us a to do list and packing list prior to travel to ensure we didn’t miss anything) she made sure we were well prepared for travel and all the details were in place before we left our driveway. Maria is excellent in what she does. When it comes to making any travel plans - the first thing we do is pick up the phone and call Maria! We feel much more prepared and knowledgeable with every trip she plans for us. We recommend her to all our family and friends!

Reviewed By EL - MS | Traveled to Mexico
We loved planning our all-inclusive getaway through Maria! We had never done an all-inclusive and didn’t have a clue where to start. Maria laid out several options and worked patiently with us as we made decisions. It was so helpful to see all of our options laid out in one spreadsheet. Maria checked in several times between booking and departure to answer questions and offer advice. She contacted the resort on our behalf several times before our trip to ask questions and make bookings. I won’t plan another big trip, especially internationally, without her help in the future!

Maria is a ROCKSTAR!
Reviewed By DB - Texas | Traveled to Europe
Choosing Maria to make our travel arrangements was the best decision we ever made. She helped us with hotel accommodations before and after our trip as well as helping us choose our stateroom on the ship. We needed accommodations for someone with mobility issues and she knew all about securing that type of room. She helped us secure a bus from London to the cruise port in Southampton. She helped us figure out how to secure a taxi in London. She also stepped up and helped us when things went awry with our flights and we missed our connection. She took care of making sure the hotel knew we would be late and also helped us to decide what to do about an excursion that was already booked. She took all the pressure off of us when we were already in a stressful situation with the airlines. She is a ROCKSTAR.

Phenomenal
Reviewed By ED - Gulfport, MS | Traveled to Scotland | Europe
Maria is an absolute treasure. We had never been overseas and she provided an excellent checklist and itinerary that more than met our needs. We had many questions and changes made to the itinerary and she was quick to answer and make changes and always pleasant to work with. The itinerary was a lifesaver for us. She included our entire plane schedules, all tour info, hotels, etc. I feel that our trip would not have gone so smoothly without this detailed plan and she really put work into finding us the best. We plan to have Maria book us more trips in the future and recommend her to friends and everyone reading this. Thank you, Maria!

Reviewed By GulfportMom - Gulfport, Mississippi | Traveled to New York City | New York | USA
Maria developed the best itinerary for my recent visit to New York City. She helped me to not only visit top tourist places in the city, but she also found local coffee shops, bookstores, art galleries and interesting places that I would most likely not be able to find on my own. She booked a hotel that was right in the heart of the city, which made it easily accessible for me to get a taxi, walk, or ride the subway to each destination. The restaurants she recommended were excellent and I enjoyed them all! I can’t wait for my next trip and to see the itinerary Maria designs for me! It makes exploring small towns and big cities easy and lots of fun! It’s always good knowing Maria is just a text or phone call away if I need any assistance. And, as always, Maria is hard working and detailed when it comes to planning my trips so I can just relax and enjoy the next adventure! Great work Maria!

Maria was an incredible help when it came to my recent Disney World trip. From the start she was upfront about what to expect from the process. I am a big planner myself and she was always available to answer questions but didn’t overstep when it came to reservations or my own planning. Her recommendations and tricks of the trade were very helpful. Even when I was on the trip she was easily reachable and quick to respond when I had questions. I will definitely use her in the future for vacations.

Maria has such a strong working knowledge of Disneyland and California Adventure that she was able to guide us through the planning process and make unique suggestions that were tailor made for our family (family of eleven, ages 1-1/2 years to 67 years old). Maria took the time to meet with us and show us how to use the Disney app, explaining how to order food, sign up for tickets, locate specific characters for the kids to visit, how to locate rides and quite locations at both parks. The itinerary that she developed was specific to our family and included ride height restrictions as well as suggestions for what to do with the younger kids while everyone else was riding other rides. She also made sure to suggest numerous rides that all of us could enjoy together. After meeting with Maria, we felt prepared and educated to navigate the parks, and were able to quickly feel comfortable and able to enjoy the parks offerings.

Normally I want/need to make all the decisions for a trip or at least be in on the intricate details of each choice, so that I feel confident I get the best deal and best experience. Maria was very kind in letting me be super involved, but I quickly realized she was an expert at what she does and for one of the extremely few times in life, I felt I could trust someone else to handle the details. I was NOT disappointed! She listened to my goals and preferences for the trip and planned amazing experiences.
