I recently used Monica as my travel agent for a trip to Andalusia, and it was amazing! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. In Seville, we explored the Alcázar and Seville Cathedral, and the flamenco show recommendation was a highlight. The hotel was ideally located, making everything easy to access. In Granada, the Alhambra was breathtaking, and the private tour was fantastic. We also loved the tapas spots Monica suggested. Cordoba was equally stunning, with the Mezquita-Catedral being the standout. What impressed me most was how personalized the trip was. Monica took care of all the details, from transfers to tours, so we could just enjoy our time there. I highly recommend Monica for anyone planning to visit Andalusia!

Dani - Spain | Europe

Booking our trip to Cairo, Egypt through Monica was a fantastic decision. The expertly curated itinerary included must-see landmarks such as the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum, each with insightful guided tours. Monica took care of all the details, ensuring a smooth and immersive experience that allowed us to fully appreciate the historical and cultural wonders of Cairo.

Felicity - Cairo ~ Egypt ~ Africa

Booking a Nile cruise through Monica was an exceptional experience. The meticulously planned itinerary included breathtaking visits to iconic sites like the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple, all while enjoying the luxurious comforts of the cruise ship. Monica ensured that every detail was perfectly arranged, allowing us to immerse ourselves in Egypt’s rich history while relaxing in style.

John - Egypt ~ Africa

I recently had the pleasure of working with Monica for a journey through Morocco, and I can't recommend their services highly enough. From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. We experienced Tangier, Fez, and Marrakesh through our five senses and it was incredible!

Tim - Morocco ~ Africa

The itinerary crafted by Monica was a delightful blend of adventure and relaxation. We started our trip in the vibrant city of Marrakech, where Monica had arranged a private tour of the medina, including a visit to a traditional riad that was a true gem. The journey continued with a breathtaking drive through the Atlas Mountains and an unforgettable night under the stars in the Sahara Desert—complete with camel rides and a campfire dinner that felt straight out of a storybook.

Paula - Marrakesh ~ Morocco ~ Africa

Monica planned our trip to Paris and Nice, France. She knew so much about the area, the French restaurants, and how to get around. Her hints about visiting the Eiffel Tour saved us time and money!

Doris - Paris ~ France ~ Europe

Monica was professional, timely, and flexible with our needs. Her experience in European and Swedish travel helped make our trip to Stockholm seamless and cultural. Among the best experiences were the Vasa and ABBA museums.

Anna - Stockholm ~ Sweden ~ Europe

Monica made our trip to the Canary Islands, Spain a hassle-free and unforgettable experience! We visited the English beach, Mount Teide, Siam Park, and The Cactus Garden.

Jace - Canary Islands ~ Africa

Monica is professional and attentive. She planned us a wonderful trip to Andalucia, Spain. We visited the Alhambra in Granada, La Giralda in Seville, and the Mosque in Cordoba. The Spanish tapas were incredible!

John - Cordoba ~ Spain ~ Europe

Monica recommended sites and experiences in La Rioja, Spain that we never would have thought of. This wine country trip was unforgettable!

Miguel - La Rioja ~ Spain ~ Europe

Monica planned my family and I a trip to Croatia where we visited Historical Dubrovnik, Plitvice Lakes National Park, and Krka National Park. The itinerary was detailed and we had a great time.

Ricky - Croatia ~ Europe

Monica made our trip to Zaragoza one to remember. She recommended we start our day with a great breakfast at a small cafe, followed by touring Palacio De La Aljeferia. After the tour and some walking around the city, she recommended a great place for lunch where we enjoyed the best paella I’ve ever had. We then spent the rest of the day walking around downtown Zaragoza and explored museums, shops, and scenic views that were all recommended by Monica. We definitely would not have had such a great day if we did not have her recommendations, and would highly encourage others to use her!

Drew - Zaragoza ~ Spain ~ Europe

Monica planned a 7 Day trip in Disney World for my family of five. From the pre-booking meetings, to the last minute changes, Monica was available and willing to make our trip fun and organized. She planned our transportation, lodging, fast passes, and extra Disney Experiences. I will definitely work with her again!

Kendall - Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA

Monica was super kind and really got to know us before planning our trip so she was able to fit in everything we wanted to do while in Logrono. She recommended some hidden gem spots that were off the beaten path and definitely worth seeing. We ventured out to a canyon and were able to see wild falcons and not-so-wild cows free roaming all over the hillside. The tapas tour we did on Calle Laurel was awesome and full of lots of tasty bites. She even knew someone who worked at the winery we took a tour of and they gave us extra wine to take home after our tour and tasting. We had a great time on our trip and it was all thanks to the hard work Monica put in!

Annalee - La Rioja ~ Spain ~ Europe

Working with Monica saved our vacation. My husband and I are not very good with computers and such, so booking flights, cars and accommodations just seems so daunting. She asked us a series of questions to find out what our goals were for the trip and was able to find places for us to visit that matched our interests. Monica was able to arrange travel for us through Rome, Nice, and Bilbao, Spain. We had nice places to stay, suggestions for eateries, restaurants and bars, and reservations to excursions that we had agreed to prior to the trip. We had our own tour guide in Rome, who took us all over, even to the Vatican! It was glorious!

KATRINA - Europe

Monica provided me with the utmost professional experience when I used her as a travel agent. First she created a budget for me which included all expenses including food, lodging, transportation, and supplies. Once everything was budgeted perfectly we began to create an itinerary. The itinerary was extremely detailed and time specific which is exactly what I was looking for. She made all of the arrangements for which I requested including booking flights, booking air b n bs, scheduling excursions, and reccomending restaraunts. The trip was a stress free experience because of her extensive planning. I even missed a bus at one point in Croatia and panicked and called Monica on the fly and she was able to book me a different bus with not much more wait time otherwise I would have been stranded. Also in a German airport my flight was changed on a whim and I had to call Monica again on the fly and she quickly directed me to where I needed to go otherwise I would have missed my flight.

Cody - Croatia ~ Europe

Working with Monica was one of the best travel experiences that I have had thus far. I had always wanted to go to Barcelona with a group of friends for my birthday but didn't know where to start! All I knew was that I wanted to go on a boat, eat a lot of tapas and see some historic sights. Monica took these points and made an incredible itinerary which fulfilled everything that I could have asked for and more! Her professionalism and keen interest in making me have a memorable trip will forever be appreciated. She really took the time to ensure that the itinerary satisfied our needs, while simultaneously offering suggestions to make the trip better. I could not recommend Monica enough!

Kiki - Barcelona ~ Spain ~ Europe

Monica curated an unforgettable travel experience around Fort Myers and Fort Lauderdale in Florida! Her attention to detail ensured every aspect of the trip was seamless. From exploring the pretty beaches to discovering hidden gems in both cities, Monica's expertise made the journey truly memorable. Her recommendations for accommodations and activities were spot on, exceeding my expectations. I can't wait to book my next adventure with Monica!
