About Me

Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe

Nestled high in the Sierra Nevada mountains on the border of California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe is one of nature's most spectacular masterpieces. With its impossibly clear sapphire blue waters, towering pine forests, and stunning mountain scenery, Tahoe is a destination that captivates visitors in every season. In the winter, world class ski resorts like Heavenly, Northstar, and Palisades Tahoe draw snow lovers from around the globe for skiing, snowboarding, and cozy mountain lodge experiences. When summer arrives, the lake transforms into a playground for hiking, kayaking, paddleboarding, and some of the most scenic beach days you'll ever experience. The charming towns surrounding the lake, from South Lake Tahoe to Tahoe City, offer wonderful dining, shopping, and nightlife options that perfectly complement the natural beauty all around. Whether you're watching a breathtaking sunset over the water, hitting the slopes on a crisp winter morning, or simply breathing in the fresh mountain air, Lake Tahoe is the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave. I am here to help you plan the perfect Tahoe getaway, no matter the season.

First time in Hungary
Reviewed By Citylights - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Budapest | Hungary | Europe
My husband and I always wanted to visit Budapest, and when we decided to finally make it happen, a friend recommended Szilvia. She knows the city inside out, and she regularly visits Hungary. From our very first conversation, we knew we were in great hands. She arranged our flights, a hotel in downtown Budapest along the banks of the Danube, and provided us with knowledge that elevated our experience. She recommended trying out the public transportation, which is excellent in Budapest, even late at night! We visited the Gellert Thermal Baths, which is not as known as the Szechenyi Baths, but the experience was amazing, as you can see the Danube from the top of the building sitting in one of the thermal pools, incredible! We also walked across the Chain Bridge at sunset, with the Hungarian Parliament Building glowing golden on the riverbank, it was one of the most romantic sights either of us had ever seen. We explored the historic Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion, where the panoramic views over the city and the Danube simply took our breath away. Szilvia also recommended we visit the famous Ruin Bars of the Jewish Quarter, which turned out to be one of the most unique nightlife experiences of our lives. We visited the beautiful St. Stephen's Basilica, ate traditional Hungarian cuisine including goulash, chimney cakes, and langos at local restaurants Szilvia personally recommended, and ended each evening with a glass of Tokaji wine watching the city lights reflect off the Danube. Every moment of our Budapest trip felt magical, and that is entirely thanks to Szilvia's expertise, passion, and personal touch.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Unforgettable Trip
Reviewed By KC0219 - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Seattle | Washington | USA
Seattle is a place I've been dreaming of going to since I was twelve, and it was through Szilvia's hard work and attentive eye for detail that this trip was able to happen. I had booked concert tickets and needed this trip to be planned around that. She helped me book my flight at an ideal time with an incredible price and upon my request was even able to book a hotel where I never had to Uber, and was able to walk everywhere I needed to: including the concert that I had booked, the Seattle space needle, and a variety of the activities that she'd worked into my itinerary. She helped me maximize my time and money there, and I am really looking forward to having her help out when I return. I cannot sing my praises for Szilvia enough.

Our Maui Vacation
Reviewed By JoeY2014 - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Maui Island | Hawaii | USA
I wanted our first Hawaiian vacation to be perfect, so I decided to get a help of a travel agent and contacted Szilvia to assist with the planning. She arranged a nonstop flight from San Diego to Kahului, a rental car, and our accommodations at the Royal Lahaina Resort for a five night stay. Our main goal was to relax and unwind, but thanks to Szilvia's insider knowledge, we also discovered some truly incredible hidden gems along the way. She pointed us to an amazing secluded snorkeling spot at Honolua Bay, giving us detailed directions through a scenic trail to get there. We also visited the breathtaking Nakalele Blowhole, where powerful ocean waves crash into the lava rocks and shoot up into the air in a natural geyser display. We rounded out our adventure with the iconic Road to Hana, and made memorable stops at the stunning Black Sand Beach and the beautiful Wailua Falls. Thanks to Szilvia's careful planning and personal recommendations, our first Hawaiian vacation turned out to be absolutely perfect.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Perfect vacation
Reviewed By TravelMind - Budapest, Hungary | Traveled to San Diego | California | USA
As a Hungarian family based in Budapest, we had always dreamed of bringing our children to Disneyland in the United States. Planning a three week trip from Hungary to the USA is not easy, which is why we entrusted Szilvia to handle every detail of our vacation. From the moment we arrived in Los Angeles to our time exploring San Diego, everything was seamlessly organized and exceeded our expectations. Szilvia arranged everything, international flights, hotel accommodations, rental car, and theme park tickets, taking all of the stress out of what could have been an overwhelming experience. We stayed at a beautiful property in Vista, complete with a pool, gym, tennis court, and barbecue area, all just ten minutes from the beach and steps away from a hiking trail. She also arranged two nights in Anaheim within walking distance of Disneyland, which was an absolute highlight for the entire family. Throughout our trip we visited Disneyland, SeaWorld, Universal Studios, the Safari Park in Escondido, and the USS Midway Museum in downtown San Diego. Szilvia even secured tickets to the Del Mar Fair, an annual event we had no idea was happening during our stay, which turned out to be a very memorable experience. Our vacation was perfect, and it would not have been possible without Szilvia's expertise, dedication, and care for her clients. We will absolutely be reaching out to her for our next adventure.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Honeymoon
Reviewed By NancyM - Oceanside, CA | Traveled to Paris | France | Europe
When my husband and I started planning our honeymoon, we wanted something special. I always wanted to go to Paris, and when we reached out to Szilvia, she made that trip possible. She arranged everything, our flights, hotel just minutes from the Eiffel Tower, and personal recommendations that made our trip incredible. Szilvia had recommended a beautiful candlelit restaurant in the Le Marais district where we enjoyed the most exquisite French cuisine we have ever tasted. We strolled along the Seine, explored the famous Louvre, and spent the afternoon wandering through the streets of Montmartre, ending up at the Sacré-Coeur Basilica with panoramic views over the entire city. We also took a romantic sunset Seine river cruise that Szilvia had arranged as a surprise addition to our itinerary, which was one of the most magical experiences of our entire honeymoon. Every detail reflected Szilvia's genuine care and dedication to making our trip absolutely perfect. If you are looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond for her clients, look no further.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
