Once in a Lifetime
Reviewed By SJ - Sherwood Park, AB | Traveled to Australia | Australia & New Zealand
We recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary with a 2½-week trip to Australia, and our experience with Vanore was exceptional from start to finish. From the earliest planning stages, we exchanged emails back and forth, sharing ideas about what we hoped to see and do. We ended up meeting for coffee to finalize our plans. Vanore took all of our thoughts and created a custom, once-in-a-lifetime itinerary that far exceeded anything we could have imagined.
Our journey took us through Sydney, Cairns, Melbourne, and Tasmania, with a perfect balance of adventure, culture, and relaxation. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged: historical sites, a harbour cruise, the Sydney Opera House, wildlife sanctuaries, the Harbour Bridge, the Great Barrier Reef, the rainforest, Port Douglas, the Phillip Island Penguin Parade, the Brighton Beach Boxes, Bondi Beach, food tours, city walking tours, and even an Aboriginal artist workshop. We appreciated how Indigenous culture was woven throughout our trip in meaningful ways.
All transportation—including airport transfers—was seamless, and every part of the itinerary flowed smoothly. We felt completely taken care of, which allowed us to simply enjoy each moment.
This was truly an unforgettable experience, planned by a trusted and highly experienced travel agent. We will absolutely use Vanore’s services again. In fact, after this trip, we won’t travel without booking with her!

For the first time in many years I decided to use a travel consultant as we were cruising in Europe which was a totally new experience for us. From beginning to end Vanore helped us through so many parts of the process always being there and promptly replying to emails even if she was traveling herself. If she didn't already have the answer she quickly found one. I would not hesitate to have her plan our next adventure!

She gets us!
Reviewed By Randi - Bristol, CT | Traveled to France | Europe
Vanore was recommended to us by a family member, and she has been absolutely wonderful. Truthfully, I can't imagine going back to DIY travel, she has really changed the game for us. We're more traveler than vacationer, with an independent streak. Vanore is very attuned to helping us get the most out of our travel without being overbooked, or beholden to someone else's timetable. We've been to France and the Philippines and Thailand with her assistance, and both trips were made easier and more enjoyable by her recommendations and attention to detail.

Smooth, pleasant trip
Reviewed By Kate - Manitoba | Traveled to Lisbon | Portugal | Europe
We were put in contact with Vanore through a friend and found her to be friendly, pleasant and easy to work with. We were two friends traveling together from different cities and she listened to our ideas and wants before offering suggestions and making the arrangements. She found us a first class hotel in a central location which had the best breakfast buffet included I have ever enjoyed on a trip. Any little hitches were from outside sources and as soon as she was aware of them she handled them immediately.

Reviewed By maxtone - Texas | Traveled to Rome | Italy | Europe
Vanore asked the right questions, and took the time to find out what we really wanted out of our trip, and then she went beyond what we thought that would look like to offer us something so much better! Rome and Istanbul, and Greek islands too, on a cruise line we didn't even know about. We were novices and she found us great accommodations to experience Rome as well as providing advice and reminders all along the way. We couldn't be happier.

Vanore planed an amazing trip for a group of 29 travelers to experience Egypt! We saw it all - the pyramids, the sphinx, King Tut's tomb, the Egyptian Museum, and a cruise ship down the Nile to see more incredible ancient ruins. One of our group suffered a serious medical incident, and Vanore stepped right in and accompanied her to the hospital, worked with the local guides to arrange for a translator, and contacted her family and insurance providers to ensure that she made it safety back to the USA.
