–Albert Family Costa Rica Trip

"We had an amazing time! You nailed it on the activities and lodgings. All the tour/activities were great! All the drivers were professional, friendly, courteous, safe, knowledgeable about the areas we were traveling through, and showed us things along the way. Thank you so much for arranging this fantastic family dream vacation for us!"

–Ting Family Trip

"Katie planned the perfect trip. We all agree it was the best trip we've had, and the hotels were some of the best we've stayed in. We found that with a baby, it was only possible to get through about half of the suggested itinerary each day, which was great because it gave us options. We took time each night to debate what we would do the next day, and really enjoyed having those possibilities laid out for us."

–Beck Family Trip

"Thank you for all of your support and expert tips. Everything went seamlessly, all our activities were wonderful and working with you made all of the planning so easy for me as a working mum. All the activities Melissa chose were tailored to my children's likes and also had a great blend of education and great fun."
