Canceled for Corona

Carol is very knowledgeable about her work and enthusiastic about creating awesome personal experiences for travelers. When our travel had to be canceled due to travel bans related to the Corona Virus, Carol was sympathetic and went beyond our expectations in relieving our stress and helping us to recover lost expenses. Thank you, Carol :)

Hope to be the Best future trip of our lives

Everything was scheduled perfectly. The pandemic is no one's fault. We are in constant contact on the next steps: IE re-booking etc. I hope to finally get to my destination. Have already recommended and will so in the future.

A fabulous 'bucket list' trip to Hawaii!

An absolutely great experience in planning a 'bucket list' trip to Hawaii. Carol Scotty just 'gets it'. She helped with outlining a great menu of choices for a family of four (Mom and Dad and twin boys that are 25) after an initial interview discussion around budget and any possible experiences that may interest us (the three males had never been to Hawaii and Mom had been once over forty years ago). We asked Carol to help us experience Hawaii but, we wanted it to be relaxing and not to stressful moving around. We were actively engaged without running ourselves into the ground - it was perfect. Carol suggested Oahu and Maui and we were not disappointed. Clear and concise itineraries (printed and digital) were also unbelievably helpful. Carol was also very helpful in navigating and modify bookings when it became evident that originally selected facilities were going to be under renovation during the time that we were planning to be there. Again, an overall great working experienc

Maui Trip

Carol's bookings made it easy for us to check into multiple hotels on our trip, as well as pick up our rental car. The app interface also made our plans very easy to plan our days around activities.

The trip fo a lifetime!

Carol was tuned into our interests and constructed a trip that matched us perfectly. Our trip featured three stops, each offering a different experience: city, culture & history, wine & scenery, and the most magnificent safari experience imaginable! The trip was seamless from start to finish. Carol arranged private guided tours, top notch lodging and easy transfers between locations. We were very excited for this bucket list trip, and it exceeded expectations!

An utter dream and trip of a lifetime!

Carol was attentive, thorough, kind, fun, and highly skilled in planning our trip to Iceland. She asked the right questions, did some incredible research for us, and fulfilled every desire we had - and well beyond. She rejoiced in our journey when we returned and made us feel like she was with us the whole time. I cannot recommend her services and her company highly enough. She exceeded our expectations at every stage of the travel process!

Amazing Experience!

Carol was so helpful - found an amazing tour that worked with our timeframe and was a great fit for my husband and me . She was alway very easy to reach and very responsive. She kept in touch on a regular basis before we left providing reminders of what to pack/bring along with updates from the tour company. Would recommend Carol hands down!

Spain for spring break

Carol was a pleasure to work with as I was so happy to have her guidance and expertise. Unfortunately our trip had to be cancelled due to the Coronavirus cases in Spain. Carol was so helpful with all the necessary cancellations. I highly recommend you to contact Carol for upcoming trip planning!
