First time abroad made easy!
Reviewed By Mia - Raleigh, NC | Traveled to Barcelona | Spain | Europe
Paula made our first time traveling abroad as easy and stress free as could be! She gave such good advice about what to expect, what experiences to look into and where to find info about them, and even foods to try in the different places we went. I know that without her expert advice, that our trip would not have been as amazing and memorable as it was! Already looking forward to having her help on our next trip!

My trip to Greece with my wife.
Reviewed By Cpfitz - Oregon | Traveled to Greece | Europe
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Paula Barns and the unforgettable trip she planned for me to Greece! From start to finish, Paula went above and beyond to make this journey seamless, personalized, and truly magical. Every detail was handled with care, from the breathtaking hotels with ocean views to the private tours of ancient ruins, charming local restaurants, and even hidden gems I would have never discovered on my own.
What impressed me most was Paula’s deep knowledge of Greece and her genuine passion for creating extraordinary travel experiences. She listened to what I wanted culture, relaxation, a little adventure and somehow brought it all together into a perfectly balanced itinerary that still felt spontaneous and relaxed.
Her thoughtful touches, like a welcome basket of Greek treats waiting at my hotel and a handwritten note with local tips, made me feel incredibly cared for. It felt less like working with a travel guide and more like having a close friend with ins

"Greece is such an incredible location to explore, and it is made even better with one you love. I am glad to have been able to curate this vacation for you. I look forward to working with you in the future on your next great adventure!"

Disney for a busy mom
Reviewed By BusyMomof3 - Raleigh, NC | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
I tried to plan my family’s trip by myself and thought I was doing a good job. As I got deeper into the planning, I realized it was a full time job to do this planning! That’s when I had Paula take over for me! Fortunately, I didn’t get far enough to actually mess things up and she was able to ask me the right questions to get our family the vacation that we were wanting. She was able to quickly change some reservations for us when we realized that the kid’s were going to be too loaded up with activities that they wouldn’t have time to actually enjoy the parks. I’m so glad I gave my planning over to Paula!

Paris has been my favorite trip I've ever gone on! Paula found us some of the best spots to eat, and booked us a fantastic food tour! She was able to fit everything we wanted into the trip.

Incredible Travel Experience with Paula!
Reviewed By Mjags - Orlando, Fl | Traveled to Universal Orlando | Florida | USA
We recently worked with Paula to plan a 4-day getaway to Universal Orlando, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Paula made everything so easy and stress-free. She booked us at a Universal property that fit our needs and budget perfectly, and handled every detail with care — from park tickets to hotel reservations and helpful tips on how to make the most of our time.
Her knowledge of the Universal parks is outstanding. She gave us great advice on which parks to visit each day, how to use early entry, and even helped us understand the best ways to beat the lines. You can really tell she loves what she does and wants her clients to have the best possible time.
Thanks to Paula, we’re all set for an unforgettable adventure — and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Highly recommend her to anyone planning a theme park vacation!

Paula set us up with a wonderful trip to Chicago in May. The flights were well timed and easy to manage and we got to the Airbnb without any problems. The accommodations were reasonable and in a great location for food, traveling in the city and the nightlife.
