London Eye on a beautiful day
London Eye on a beautiful day

Over many years of traveling, I've been to nearly every corner of England and can help you plan the vacation you want including every destination, big and small. I'm a big fan of London, having been there over a dozen times, and yet I STILL haven't had a chance to ride the London Eye. However, I have explored more museums and historic sites than I can count, and had a chance to get a tasty pint in a pub and enjoy some chips (I like mine with mayonnaise). I've spent enough time in one neighborhood to notice when new businesses came in and old ones changed hands. Each little corner has it's own unique sense of charm, from Rye to Oxford and Canterbury to Bath. I am familiar with so many other beautiful and special areas of England, Scotland and Ireland. There's just something special about walking into a building filled with antique stained glass, dark hard woods that make the best thumping sounds when you walk on them and knowing it's older than the country you are from.

Some of my favorite places include the charming walled city of Chester, the birthplace of Shakespeare; Stratford-upon-Avon, and Warwick castle where you can still visit the prison. The seaside town of Brighton is good for lively fun, and the far west counties of Cornwall and Devon have rustic villages, more opportunities to explore by the sea, and some world-class gardens.

For Game of Thrones lovers, I got to drive through the dark hedges on my birthday, and I just adore Belfast and Giants Causeway. I just over the moon with how completely medieval Edinburgh is, and how stunning the highlands are - I particularly love Loch Lomond. It's so surprisingly beautiful! 

I am familiar with what trip to recommend for the perfect vacation package, and who to call for custom arrangements when it is needed. From gardens to castles to cities to historic sites, let me help you!

Great choice!
Melissa was a great choice for planning our family trip to London! She is very knowledgeable, easy to work with, responded to questions/concerns very quickly, and gave honest and sincere advice/recommendations. Before we met her, I was trying to plan everything on my own and didn't realize all of the benefits of using a travel agent. We will work with her on any future travel plans!

Greece - breathtaking
We have booked two trips with Melissa: Greece and Costa Rica. Both trips were wonderful! It was so nice to be on vacation and know that all transportation and itineraries were already planned out. We were able to relax and enjoy the places and the people.

Great trip
Melissa handles all of the paperwork very well. She is prompt with emails. Even though there may be quite of few questions, she is answering all of them well.

She's the best
Melissa is the best. She was very informative and helpful throughout the whole planning process. There were a few deaths in my family during the planning process and she remained patient and in contact with us during that time. I highly recommend her for all your trip planning needs. I can't wait to book my next trip with her.
