Amazing Christmas Trip
Reviewed By marie - PA | Traveled to Slovakia ~ Europe
While visiting with family for the holidays, my husband and I wanted to explore the city of Bratislava. We didn’t have much flexible time, so we asked April to plan a quick trip that would hit all of the most popular sites the city had to offer. April more than satisfied our ask, charting out an itinerary that started at the Bratislava Castle, took a peek at the Blue Church, and ended with a comforting meal at a local pub. Thank you so much April!

Austrian Christmas
Reviewed By Elise - PA | Traveled to Austria ~ Europe
I’m an exchange student currently living in central Europe and really wanted to visit Austria during my holiday break this Christmas. I was able to visit some of the Sound of Music scenes, tour the beautiful city of Hallstatt (better known as Arendale to Frozen fans), and even meet up with a professor during some downtime. April was amazing and really helped me work within my student budget to knock off a few bucket list destinations!

Balken Fun
Reviewed By Tim - PA | Traveled to Slovenia ~ Europe
While probably not the most well-known of Mediterranean countries, our recent trip to Slovenia will definitely stay in our memories as one of the best. Our family of four wanted to have the best of both a mountainous and a beachy vacation, and April delivered us just that. We were able to hike the Julian Alps, stand at the base of enormous waterfalls, take a train ride into the heart of the Postojna caves, and splash in the cool waters of Lake Bled. Highly recommend traveling with April!

Fire and Ice Success
Seeing the Aurora Borealis has been a dream of mine for years. When my partner and I were planning a trip to Iceland with April, she made sure to highlight my wish and included several locations in our itinerary where we would be able to see the lights. And she definitely delivered! My partner and I saw the lights in not one, but three different locations!! April also included a snorkeling trip that allowed us to touch the North American and European tectonic plates at the same time (quite cold, but worth it!), a hike up one of the most recently active volcanoes, and a once-in-a-lifetime hot-pot dip (literally a hole of volcanically-heated water in the middle of a frozen grassland). We can’t wait to make more dreams come true with April!
