My husband & I came to Melinda with the idea that we wanted to go to Europe, eat food & tour around. She planned an experience of a lifetime we will never forget. She booked our 15 days to Nuremberg, Germany; Salzburg, Austria; Munich, Germany; and Rome, Italy. Melinda really cares about her clients & is passionate about creating an experience for them. She planned the trip we have always dreamed for, & more. She took care of every detail so all we had to think about was to enjoy traveling and relaxing. I am very appreciative of the work Melinda spent planning our trip. From the time I initially reached out to Melinda, when we were in Europe, and then back home, she was there every step of the way. She provided us with a hard copy of our itinerary with helpful notes & all of our tickets. It was so organized and perfect. I have referred everyone I know planning a trip to Melinda. She is simply amazing. Let her plan your trip. You will be so pleased & are in great hands!

Melinda was outstanding. Very detail oriented. Answered any questions we had and got back to us promptly with every detail that was needed. She took it upon herself to enter information that was needed for our trip, allowing us to concentrate on other matters. I would not hesitate to recommend her and I will certainly use her for any future trips. She is knowledgable and extremely professional .<br/><br/>Mr. and Mrs. Robert Rhode

Melinda helped so much! We had only the vaguest idea of what we wanted, she found out our likes, dislikes, budget and timeline and created an amazing plan. Each place we visited, each place we stayed was so wonderful that we didn’t want to leave, but then the next place would be just as fantastic, and so it went throughout the whole vacation. It was a phenomenal experience, and I could have never planned something like this on my own. There was no worry, just fun. Then the last day we were hit with a return flight cancellation. Melinda stepped in and handled everything. She got us home on time, with minimal disruption and minimal stress. Honestly, I can’t say enough how much Melinda’s expertise and assistance made our vacation truly amazing! I highly recommend her to anyone planning a vacation.

Melinda helped me create and coordinate a trip of a lifetime to Italy with my husband. She was very knowledgeable about the destinations we wanted to visit and gave us excellent information and tips to make our trip special. She even went the "extra mile" to help ensure we got tickets on a special train which was on our bucket list. She is delightful to work with and a real pro and we highly recommend her!

My husband and I had been wanting to travel to Italy for years. Our 30th wedding anniversary was the perfect reason. Melinda planned our two week trip to Tuscany and Positano with a quick stop in Rome along the way. She carefully listened to all of our requests and perfectly planned every detail just for us. From the fabulous hotels to the private tours, we just floated from one location to the next. The advance planning, the advice she gave and the restaurant reservations she made created a magical, relaxing vacation of a lifetime. We can't thank her enough and look forward to working with her to plan our next vacation. We highly recommend working with Melinda!

Melinda was fantastic. She listened to our desires and then came up with an excellent plan from hotels, to activities to transportation, etc. She was always accessible and answered every question. We had a large group of seven traveling with different people doing different parts of the trip. She was great to keeping us all straight. Her hotel picks were excellent based on the level we wanted to spend. We took many tours and enjoyed them all. <br/><br/>She is the best and you can't go wrong with Melinda.

Excellent service! We were referred by a close friend to Melinda, and we are so grateful we found her. Melinda listened to what we were interested in experiencing, and put together an incredible itinerary for our family of 6 to travel to Italy. All the details were thought of and arranged for us, so all we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves. No logistic issues whatsoever. From transfers, to train tickets, and all of our tours, everything went so smoothly. Our tour guides were all amazing and knowledgeable. I am in the travel industry, and could not have pulled this off without Melinda's expertise. She set the bar very high for our next trip!

There may be no superlatives grand enough to describe our recent trip to Italy, and the level of personal care we received from Melinda Fortunato. All four of us were stunned by the ease of travel, the reception we received at each destination and on every tour, the quality of all the bookings she handled for us, and the complete lack of stress and hassle that most vacations entail. It was like clockwork! Melinda listened to every request and responded with the perfect travel plan to suit our wishes and needs. It was such a terrific experience, we decided we never again will travel without an agent, and Melinda will be our Top Choice! We are so confident in her skills and pleased with the result, we have recommended her to several of our friends and co-workers, and one family has already booked their next trip through her. We just can't thank her enough, and look forward to working with her again.

I called Melinda and 10 days later, I went on a wonderful vacation! She addressed all of my requests. Non-stop flight, room with a view on the ocean, all inclusive,etc. Melinda worked fast and efficient. I would definitely ask her to put together another dream vacation!!
Sylvie - Riviera Nayarit ~ Mexico ~ Mexico
Melinda was very knowledgeable, professional and open to all our wants, needs and questions. She planned our trip to several parts of Italy and she knew when and where we would need what - from when to sleep upon arrival and for how long (haha) to cars to trains to hotels to sight seeing logistics, she knew how to plan everything out for us. We were very hands on in some aspects and less so in others. Melinda let us lead the way when we wanted but also led the way when we needed! She was an excellent guide on every level.<br/><br/>Melinda also has a great temperament and is flexible. Her overall concern was truly our happiness and the joy of travel. We really felt taken care of! I highly recommend her for anyone who wants a well planned, thought out, organized and fun travel experience!

Kim - Amsterdam ~ Netherlands ~ Europe
My experience working with Melinda was great. She helped me plan a beautiful 10 day honeymoon to Greece. She was very responsive throughout the entire planning process. I naturally have a lot of questions but she always got back to me in a timely manner and was really informative. She planned everything from flights, to hotel, private transfers, boat cruises, and made dinner reservations for us so she really took the majority of the planning off our hands. Once we arrived back home we even had a nice card waiting for us from her. I will certainly use her for future travel plans and highly recommend her to friends and family!
