Fantastic trip!
Reviewed By hcpqueen - London and Edinburgh | Traveled to United Kingdom | Europe
We went to London for 4 nights then took a train to Edinburgh. We stayed in Edinburgh for 2 nights and then went back to London for 2 nights. The whole trip was wonderful. Marisa listened to all of our needs and wants and did everything to provide a great trip for us. Both hotels that she booked for us were wonderful and in spectacular locations. The transportation she arranged for all parts of the trip were spot on. I cannot say enough about what a fantastic job she did for us. It really was the trip of a lifetime and Marisa gets all of the credit for making it so special for us. We will DEFINITELY use her services again for future trips.
Marisa Kopas responded
"Thank you so much for your review! It was great working with you, and I'm so glad your trip went smoothly! I'm so glad we added on the time in Edinburgh & that it all fit together so well. Hearing you call it the trip of a lifetime is the best compliment I could receive. Thank you again for allowing me to play a part in such wonderful memories. I’d be absolutely thrilled to help with wherever your travels take you next!"

A dreamy honeymoon!
Reviewed By Thespina - Pennsylvania | Traveled to Scotland | Europe
We appreciate Marisa's attention to detail and her willingness to totally customize a trip to our tastes. A lot of other planners have their cookie cutter itineraries for destinations, but she was willing to go above and beyond to find really unique places and activities that really made our honeymoon unique to us and our tastes. My husband is such a nature and hiking guy, and I'm such a foodie, music, and culture gal. It was great to have an array of adventures and excursions tailored to us as individuals but that we both enjoyed as a couple, too
Marisa Kopas responded
"Thank you so much! It was truly such a pleasure planning this one for you both! I loved how your trip came together & pulling together experiences that felt like such a good mix of both of you. Even better was getting to know you both along the way - you’re so kind, and it was so great to finally meet you! I’m so happy you had such an amazing honeymoon & made so many special memories together. Hard to believe your trip is over! "

Siesta Key - first timers
Reviewed By Trish - Siesta Key, Florida | Traveled to Florida | USA
Marisa was so amazing... and so patient. This was our first time ever using a vacation planner, and our first time vacationing in Siesta Key. We had so many questions, and were so hesitant to finally pull the trigger, and Marisa patiently walked us through all of our questions, all of our options, and through our final choice. She was SO GREAT!
Marisa Kopas responded
"Thank you so much! It was truly a pleasure helping you plan your first Siesta Key vacation. I am so glad you reached out, and I hope that this was just the first of many family vacations there! Can't wait to help with your next trip!"

    My Travel Stories

    Roots, Family & a Journey Through Italy

    In 2004, my family took a trip that would quietly shape the way I see the world forever.  We traveled to Italy and Sicily with my Nana and Pap - a journey that, at the time, felt exciting and special… but looking back now, I realize it was something much deeper. It was their dream. A return to where their story began.  We explored ...

    Second Trip Planning Success
    Marisa is amazing! This is our second trip she has done for my family and she never ceases to amaze me. Marisa gets back to me in a timely manner with the answers to my questions, and she is extremely patient and kind. She is someone who does not just book and ghost you. Marisa stays involved the whole time and truly wants to make sure your trip is magical and exactly what you want. I am so thankful I was introduced to her. Marisa will definitely be planning more trips for my family in the future.

    All-Inclusive Milestone Birthday Success
    We cannot say enough wonderful things about Marisa Kopas. From the very beginning, she made our trip completely seamless. Her communication was outstanding, and she made sure we were fully prepared and knew exactly what to do every step of the way. Marisa goes above and beyond in every way, and it is clear that she genuinely wants your vacation to be perfect. We highly recommend her to anyone planning!
    Sandals Curacao Crew
    Disney Trip - Marisa was beyond helpful.
    I don't think our Disney experience would have been nearly as good if we didn't have her help. Marisa was so patient walking us through all the different choices we had to make, and she always made time if we needed additional questions answered. I cannot recommend Marisa enough, and I will be telling anyone I know planning a Disney trip to reach out to her!
    David D.
    We planned a cruise last year on our own.
    Although we had a great trip, we were really unprepared for all the activities and events on the ship. This time we were so much more prepared and the cruise experience was so much more fun! Night and day difference from planning on our own versus using Marisa.
