So hard working and very intimate to make sure everything is top notch and ready to go. She never lets us down! Best travel agent I’ve ever met!

Emily is so easy to work with & she always makes sure every detail of our trip is perfect.

Emily is so nice & easy to work with. She was very attentive to our needs & even answered my call on a Saturday. I highly recommend Emily for all of your vacation needs.

Emily is the best travel agent I have EVER worked with. She listens to what you are looking for and provides multiple options. I have never had to worry about something on my trip as she has already taken care of everything and I just go and enjoy. You cannot go wrong with any of her recommendations.

Emily handle it all for us! She had everything line up perfectly to make our honeymoon that much more enjoyable! She was very knowledgeable with our resort and the excursions we chose. We are already planning our next adventure with Emily!

Emily did a fantastic job organizing our trip, from last minute preparations due to season changes, to answering our questions even while we were there - we are so thankful for her knowledge and skills in travel planning! Awesome trip!

Emily is truly the maker of dreams! Emily went above and beyond from the moment we connected with her. She took the time to schedule a phone call with us to get a feel of what we wanted out of our honeymoon. She stayed in contact with us through the entire planning process. She made our dream wedding/ honeymoon in Hawaii a reality. She provided us options based on our prior requests and was always up for answering my million questions. Three different, Hawaiian islands, 12 days and an excursion planned each day. Since the moment we started planning with her, I knew that I would never plan another trip without her. She was a god send. I recommend her to everyone I can. Emily is someone I look forward to planning with for years to come. No words will ever be able to thank her enough for the trip that she planned for us. She is truly the maker of dreams.

I loved working with Emily! After a negative experience with another agent not listening, she jumped in and saved the day!! Gave me lots of options and listened to everything we wanted!

Emily was very diligent in getting what we were looking for, and followed up with us several times to make sure everything was perfect. Best trip I've ever taken.

Emily was a delight to work with! She is so kind and takes all aspects of your trip into consideration. She helped us decide on a location for our honeymoon: Banff, Canada. She worked so well with our budget, providing lodging options on both the high and low ends. She arranged everything for us and made sure we had all the information we needed for our travels. It was seriously the easiest part of our wedding planning. I talked with Emily back and forth several times. She responds quickly and answered all of my questions. Our trip was amazing thanks to her hard work and dedication to making sure everything was lined up. Emily checked on us throughout the week and was available for any questions I had throughout the trip. During our stay, she also made reservations for us and helped call anyone if we had any issues. She is fabulous and you cannot go wrong booking a trip with Emily!

We used Emily as our travel agent for our honeymoon, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was incredibly easy to work with—super responsive, helpful, and always one step ahead. She recommended Antigua, which we had never even considered, and we’re SO glad we trusted her. It ended up being the perfect destination! The food and drinks were amazing, the people were so kind and welcoming, and we got to do some unforgettable things like swimming with sea turtles. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Thanks to Emily, we didn’t have to stress about a single detail and could just focus on being honeymooners. We’d recommend her to anyone planning a special trip—you won’t regret it!

This trip was absolutely amazing! Emily did an incredible job putting together a perfect trip for my son and I to celebrate his high school graduation. The excursion she booked for us were spot on and were so much fun! Also, having the whole trip planned and shared through an app on my phone it was way less stressful.

Perfect in all ways

Emily is truly the best and took a very thoughtful & intentional approach to planning our family vacation experience. She is quick to respond and very knowledgeable. Cabo was a dream and we will be returning. Thank you for going above and beyond to make us feel special and taken care of! Xoxo The Townsends and Austins

she is the best at what she does. she always answers any questions i have and is always there to make sure we have the best experience!! I couldnt recommend her enough to anybody who needs someone to help them plan any amazing vacation.

Emily has been helping us with travel for several years. She is so patient with the thousand questions we usually have! We know she will take care of all the details.

Best agent I’ve ever used. So responsive. And very wise. Glad she has been to these places and knows the locations. Her advice was spot in. Keep sending her there sample the localities.

Emily made planning our honeymoon so easy! We went to her with some location ideas and she provided us with all the information requested plus a couple of other vacation spot we were not familiar with. She came back with great pricing including airfare that we would have never been able to get without her. We ended up in Barbados, her recommendation, and loved it! She made all the reservations and excursions. All we had to do was say 'yes' or 'no' to her suggestions and give her our payment. She took all the hassle and worry out of our hands and it was truly and enjoyable experience working with Emily. We've already given her name to several family members & friends.

This Rose Bowl trip was one of best of our traveling experiences. It was will coordinated and fun filled. We loved flying from a new airport,GSP.
I would recommend Emily to my friends for future trips.

We had the most amazing trip visiting Disney world. There is no way we could have made this trip without the help from Emily and Grand Escape Travel. Everything was planned and perfect for my family. Grand Escape Travel Will be apart of all of our trips from here on out!! Thank you so much!

I simply googled travel agents near me and Grand Escape Travel popped up. Emily is the real deal! Her knowledge and level of customer service couldn't have been better. She handled absolutely everything. It made my trip so much more enjoyable knowing everything was in place. This was an incentive trip for my husband's business. Hawaii was a dream!! I couldn't have done it without Emily and Grand Escape Travel.

Emily was so helpful in every step of the planning process. She answered all my questions, sat on hold for hours trying to find information for me, and dealt with my back and forth about leaving the country. She is amazing! Our trip was planned to a T and everything ran so smoothly!

Emily was awesome from start to finish! She was recommended to my fiance and I from my sister and we are happy she was. From the options within our budget to getting the flights booked, she had it all covered. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have a stress free vacation or honeymoon planning experience. We cant wait to book our next trip with her!

Emily goes above and beyond to find your perfect vacation. I know for a fact we couldn't have done this without her through all of these ever changing COVID regulations. Love how she is not only there for booking, but also all the way till you get home from your trip. Won't book with anyone else.

Emily helped us plan the most incredible honeymoon on Kauai and Maui in the Hawaiian islands! Every day was packed with adventure and she put her heart into making sure every detail was covered. Also, every bit of information was tucked into a cute packet with a mini travel kit that made my heart happy.
Traveling with Covid restrictions was quite tricky, but Emily was able to walk us through the process. Even when there were obstacles Emily (sometimes very late at night) would do everything in her power to come to a resolution. We’re soo grateful and can’t thank her enough for all of her hard work. We can’t wait to book more trips with Emily at Grand Escapes in the future-this is just the start!!!

Emily is simply THE BEST! We have used her for every trip for the last 4 years and every single time she hits it out of the park. Emily always sends multiple options which is key to truly planning the best trip.

Emily is a wonderful person to work with when planning any trip. She is helpful and knowledgeable. Emily helped us plan our first cruise ?? and we had an amazing time! She helped us make decisions about what ports were best for our needs, which cruise ships would be available during our time frame and would be best for our desires. She gave us lots of advice about excursions available and steered us into making a wonderful decision. She sent us suggestions and instructions on what/how to pack. She just really covered all areas to ensure we’d have a great experience. She is always available to answer questions (even when we were on the cruise) give advice, and make sure your family has the best trip possible. I highly recommend her.

This was my first time using a travel agent to book a trip as I am normally the one to do all the research and booking. She made it super easy and did all the work which allowed me to focus on my priorities and not have to worry about anything. She was responsive and always gave detailed answers. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants to visit the DR. Our hotel was perfect for us and we enjoyed our trip. Our only complaint is we wish we could have stayed longer!! BOOK WITH EMILY!

Emily was so easy to work with, and made the trip fun and seamless for us! She recommended the best resorts, restaurants, excursions, etc and we had the most amazing trip!

Emily did a wonderful job arranging out trip to Alaska!!! This was our 30th wedding anniversary and my bucket list trip! It was fantastic!

Emily was great!! We had an amazing honeymoon experience! Very helpful!

It was an easy process. Just gave her the dates and the location.

Emily was absolutely amazing, from the time we began speaking to her about planning our honeymoon from the time that we got back. She was there to answer questions, to make sure everything ran smoothly and to make sure that our honeymoon was absolutely perfect. She had every detail planned and organized so that we didn't have to worry about a thing. She planned out travel from our wedding reception to the airport, and our hotel stay for our wedding night and everything was amazing. We chose to go to Costa Rica for our honeymoon, but didn't know a great deal about the best places to stay and to visit, Emily did all of the research to find us the perfect resort. She found an amazing all-inclusive resort that was absolutely beautiful. We received all of the best treatment to celebrate our honeymoon, it was so very special thanks to Emily. I cannot say enough good things about her and the experience she created for us! I highly recommend using her to plan/book your next vacation!

Emily planned the perfect Mexican getaway for my boyfriend's 50th birthday! She is very professional and detail oriented but what I liked most about working with Emily is the little personal touches that she provides to all of her clients. A few days before our trip she gave us a folder containing all of our travel documents. Tucked in one of the folders was a note thanking us for our business and wishing us a good trip. She also gave us a waterproof bag to use while on our trip. Inside it were lots of thoughtful goodies including lip balm, a pack of sugar free gum, and some tropical flavored lady taffy! She also sent us a sweet text the morning we left reminding us that if we needed anything to not hesitate to contact her. We look forward to working with Emily again!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Emily. Quick responses and she made sure the resort we chose was the right fit. We look forward to booking with her again in the near future.

Very helpful and always listening to our need in adjusting our trip. Even the last minute changes! We had planned this trip for years. Emily helped to make it possible!

When we booked our first cruise to Mexico, we were nervous because we did not know what to expect. Emily was very knowledgeable about the cruise line and our destinations, which helped us pick the right trip for us. She was always available to answer any and all questions we had and helped us plan the best trip we have ever had! It was a great experience and we can't wait to use her again for our next adventure!

Emily was very nice and professional!

So friendly and easy to work with. Very patient with any changes I asked about. Had a great itenerary worked out for our cruise.

Emily is currently booking a trip for us for our 15th anniversary, and she’s been very helpful and given us several options to explore!

Emily was such a pleasure to work with. Her attention to detail and inside scoop on things was invaluable.
