What People are Saying
Kelly planned our long anticipated couple's weekend in early November. She listened to our ramblings on location and then provided a detailed list of options. We landed in the Hamptons and she made sure everything was perfect from start to finish (including a plate of delicious cookies upon arrival). She acted as a trusted friend versus travel agent, ensuring that our trip was exactly how she would want it herself! She has exceptional taste but is also financially aware. I do not foresee us ever traveling again without her involvement! Thanks, Kelly!
My wife and I needed to plan a trip to Austria for an old friend's birthday party. We weren't sure where to start and hired Kelly to help us. That was the best idea ever! Once Kelly got involved, it really took most of the stress out of the planning process. We just didn't have the time to look through the mountain of information available on the world wide web. Kelly was super helpful; she planned the whole process for us from the airline tickets to the hotels and ground transportation and also was able to suggest activities and tours in all the cities we visited. The whole trip was amazing, the hotels were cool and artsy, and the travel went smoothly. We really enjoyed our trip with minimal planning effort on our part. We would definitely use Kelly again and recommend her very professional services to others.
Kelly was so helpful in planning a weekend trip for my husband and I away from our baby for the first time. We had specific criteria for what we wanted out of our couples of days away and she provided a list of great options to choose from in line with what we were looking for. Kelly's communciation throughout the process was stellar -- she was easy to reach and always helpful in getting answers to our questions and making sure things were booked and ready leading into our getaway. The Virtuoso benefits she was able to get us went a long way in making the trip extra special. We'll definitely use her for help with future trips!
