Enjoying the good life in the Canadian Rockies

I had my first taste of luxury travel when I stayed in a Four Seasons hotel many years ago (and enjoyed some Preferred Partner benefits through my travel advisor!). I've been hooked ever since and became a Certified Luxury Specialist through both the Travel Institute and the Travel Leaders Network. In my prior career, I was a full-time corporate lawyer, which means I know how to pay attention to the details. I have a passion for helping busy families enjoy the finer side of travel and take special pride in covering every detail of my clients’ vacations so that all they have to do is relax.

Highly Recommend A Travel Expert Like Gunes!
Gunes is so great at what she does and I'm so appreciative of her help with our family weekend getaway to a resort in Middleburg. In particular, she was great about sorting out what kinds of plans we should make for meals and activities for our 4-year old, sleeping arrangements for the baby, and was full of useful recommendations. We spent LESS working with her than we would have if we'd booked on our own at Salamander.

COVID traveling, and dreaming about future travels
Gunes provided the most professional and informative experience for us! She had answers to issues related to our travels BEFORE I even knew to ask the questions. She was always available...before, during, and after our trips....and made sure all of our needs were met. Outstanding service!
