Japan with Teenagers
Reviewed By The T Family - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Kyoto | Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Rachel is a rockstar! We traveled with our two teenagers to Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, and her planning was spot on. The best thing she did for us was organizing luggage forwarding (Takkyubin) between our hotels. Not having to drag four big suitcases onto the bullet train was the best decision we made. She also managed to snag us tickets to the Ghibli Park, which we knew were almost impossible to get on our own. She really listened to what our kids wanted to do and balanced it perfectly with the temples and history we wanted to see. We had a blast.

Rachel helped my partner and me plan our first big international trip to Japan, and it was seriously amazing! We went to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, and also got to stay a night at a Hakone ryokan.

Wonderful month in the Philippines

My husband, Arthur, and I just returned from a glorious month-long adventure in the Philippines, all thanks to the wonderful Rachel! Our first stop was Cebu for the Sinulog Festival – what a vibrant and joyful celebration! The parades, the music, the energy of the people – it was truly something to behold. Next, we enjoyed the beautiful beaches of Boracay. Such a relaxing spot for a stroll along the white sand and watching the stunning sunsets. El Nido was next, and oh my, the scenery was simply breathtaking. Those towering limestone cliffs and the clear turquoise waters were just like the pictures, if not more beautiful in person. Finally, we ventured up to Sagada in the Mountain Province. The cool, crisp air and the stunning rice terraces were a welcome change of pace. We even explored some of the fascinating caves there. What did we love the most? It's hard to pick just one thing, but the warmth and friendliness of the Filipino people truly made our trip so special. Rachel, thank yo

Rachel gave us some awesome tips for nightlife in Shibuya, and we had such a fun time checking out the bars and the energy there. But the highlight for us was definitely the side trip to Takayama.

Quick action and excellent follow-up
Reviewed By Megan W. - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to Philippine Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
When it comes to planning, I'm someone who thrives on having everything meticulously organized. Rachel, gratefully, executed this to perfection. She expertly helped me through the world of incredible hotels, room selections, and tour options, as I was quite clueless about what I was seeking. When I fired away with my questions, Rachel not only responded promptly but also delivered comprehensive and insightful answers. Her ability to address all my concerns was truly impressive. I wholeheartedly thank Rachel for her invaluable assistance in crafting a dream trip. The entire experience has been nothing short of fantastic, and I eagerly anticipate the possibility of having her guide me once more. You're absolutely amazing, Rachel!

Besties Getaway
Reviewed By C. Henderson - Seattle, WA | Traveled to Tokyo | Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Rachel is officially our favorite person! My best friend and I wanted a mix of great food, culture, and maybe some late-night fun, and Rachel delivered. She recommended a hidden cocktail bar in Tokyo and a tea ceremony in Kyoto that felt so authentic and not like a tourist trap at all. She gave us some amazing tips on how to have a great tax free shopping experience, which helped us save a ton of money on skincare and clothes. She also told us about the coolest neighborhoods for great cafes and even more shopping that we never would have found on our own. Communication was super fast and she answered all our random questions. If you’re going to Japan, you have to book with Rachel!

Japan Honeymoon
Reviewed By S & J - Austin, TX | Traveled to Kyoto | Japan | East and Southeast Asia
We just got back from our honeymoon and I can’t thank Rachel enough. We really wanted something romantic but didn't know where to start. She booked us this incredible private onsen in Hakone with a view of Mt. Fuji that was just breathtaking. Her best advice was visiting the Fushimi Inari shrines in Kyoto right at sunset to avoid the big crowds. She also told us all about how to use luggage transfers between cities so we didn't have to drag heavy suitcases onto the trains. It made everything feel so fancy and stress-free. Rachel really knows her stuff!

Family Adventure
Reviewed By The Miller Family - Columbus, OH | Traveled to Tokyo | Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Rachel is a lifesaver! Planning a trip for two picky teenagers is usually a nightmare, but she totally nailed it. She put us in an area that was perfect for their anime obsession, and we honestly wouldn't have even known that spot existed if it wasn't for her. She even pointed us exactly where to find the 3D cat in Shinjuku, which was the first thing the kids wanted to see. Her tip to set up an eSIM before we landed was a huge help because we never got lost. We had the perfect mix of temples and awesome shopping. Thanks, Rachel!

My husband and I used to live in the Philippines, and we were so excited to show our parents all the places we love. We also wanted to see a new place ourselves, so Rachel helped us plan a trip that included El Nido, which we'd never been to before. Not only did she make sure everything was perfect for our parents, but she also helped us see the Philippines in a totally new light!
