An instant love for Greece! I traveled through Greece on an unforgettable island-hopping adventure in August 2024 for 13 days. I started in Athens, where ancient history meets modern energy. Exploring the Acropolis and wandering through Plaka set the tone for the trip. From there, I ferried to Na...Read More ▶

From Paris to the Riviera

From Paris to the Riviera
France has always felt like home, with family there and childhood visits. In summer 2023, I returned as an adult and fell in love all over again. We started in Paris, biked along the Seine, visited the Eiffel Tower, and roamed the gardens of Versailles. After, we flew down to the coast and rented...Read More ▶

A Journey through London and Ireland
In the fall of 2023, my sister and I packed our bags, boarded a flight across the Atlantic, and set off on a trip we'd talk about for years: London and Ireland.

Most memorable trip by far!
Reviewed By Gasia - Studio City | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Nicole helped plan our honeymoon in Japan and she was absolutely amazing to work with. She arranged our flights, accommodations, hotel luggage transfers, activities/booking, and an entire itinerary for two full weeks ensuring that we had the BEST TIME! Because of her knowledge and expertise, we made the most of our trip every single day and thanks to her attention to every detail, our transportation services visiting four cities went very smoothly and on time. We wouldn’t have been able to plan our trip without Nicole’s help. She is fantastic and the best agent I have had the pleasure of working with. Can’t wait to have Nicole plan our upcoming trips in the very near future. Thank you, Nicole for all of your help. Because of you, we had a stress free trip and truly enjoyed our time.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Hassle Free Hawaii
Reviewed By PaitzarB. - Montebello, CA | Traveled to Hawaii | USA
Working with Nicole Kocar was the best decision our family made when planning a 7-person (including 1 baby) trip to Hawaii. As a 60th birthday gift for our parents, my siblings and I decided on a family trip to Hawaii. This memorable event was not just a gift but the first time our family flew out on a vacation together. The looming stress of planning flights, hotels, transportation, food, etc for a large group was immediately gone after speaking with Nicole. She was incredibly responsive, highly knowledgeable, and treated this family trip as if it was her own- with tons of care and respect. She was mindful of our budget, was a professional of needing to keep our group's age and limitations in mind, and went out of her way give us options, options, and more options! Within one week of working with Nicole, our big items such as flight and hotel were booked and she saved us close to $2,000 as opposed to the "packages" we were considering prior to using her. After these big items, Nicole was patient and let us know when the best time to book our car rental was and she went out of her way to help us find restaurants and book activities for the whole family to enjoy. She allowed us the flexibility to split our trip cost without any headaches and using the portals she provided was such an organized way to keep everything in check- gone were my days of saving everything on my phone or needing to print boarding passes/ hotel confirmations. We had absolutely zero issues and instead, Nicole went out of her way to make our parents feel extra special with a thoughtfully written birthday note and treats waiting at the hotel. Again, she treated our parents as if they were her own and went above and beyond in making this "Hassle Free Hawaii" trip one of the best our group has ever experienced. We would highly, highly recommend Nicole's services and you simply will not find another agent that is more mindful, caring, kind, knowledgeable, organized, or responsive as her.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The most unforgettable Honeymoon, Christmas and New Years!
Reviewed By Michael&Michelle - Pasadena California | Traveled to Thailand | East and Southeast Asia
Nicole planned our honeymoon to Singapore and Thailand perfectly from start to finish. Every detail was incredibly well organized, and everything went smoothly throughout the entire trip. What really stood out was that her recommendations weren’t just about what to do, but when to do it — which made a huge difference and allowed us to make the most of every destination. All of the accommodations she booked were fantastic and in ideal locations — walkable to attractions or very easy to access transportation. We absolutely loved where we stayed. Singapore was amazing, and thanks to Nicole we were fully prepared for the weather, local events, and activities ahead of time, which made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. Thailand was unforgettable. Nicole created the perfect balance for our time there — island hopping, exploring cities and temples, incredible food, and plenty of fun and nightlife (not just for New Year’s!). It never felt rushed or overwhelming, just perfectly paced. Most importantly, Nicole truly made our honeymoon special. She made sure we were still able to fully enjoy Christmas and New Year’s while traveling, and everything felt thoughtfully planned with us in mind. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and her organization was outstanding. We couldn’t have asked for a better travel advisor and would absolutely work with Nicole again. Highly recommend!
