We just returned from an incredible trip to Cairo—thank you, Claire, for such a seamless and unforgettable experience.
I usually plan my own travel, but this was on another level. Every detail was handled flawlessly—even with a 1:45 AM arrival, we were met and taken care of immediately.
The on-the-ground team was outstanding: professional, friendly, and efficient. Our guides were true Egyptologists, including one who has written a book on the pyramids, which made the experience even more meaningful.
This was total immersion in ancient Egyptian culture—exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend Claire for a truly elevated, stress-free travel experience!

I don't typically post frequently but wanted to document my outstanding experiences after visiting several remarkable places. Making new friends, endless laughs and to Claire who did an outstanding job with our travels right down to the buses, tour guides, times and communication and let’s not forget the fast track at the burj kalifa. Excellent staff and hospitality on the Celestyal Journey for seven days. From Dubai, Sir Bani Island, Bahrain, Doha, Abu Dhabi, all just memorable.

So far, the best cruise I have ever been!
Before the cruise I was going through a very hard time in my household and was really thinking about canceling the cruise. After poudering a lot and doing a lot of soul searching I decided I should go and enjoy my vacation. Claire was extremely patient and showed me alternatives in case I decided not to go. When I got in St. Martin, she arranged my transfer to the port at a very last minute time and the cruise was just amazing. I won't ever use any other travel agent/planner ever again. Claire is forever my GO TO!

Hats off to you Island Girl! Claire created the most memorable two week trip to Sicily and Calabria for me and my two daughters in May. She spent countless hours researching and tailoring our trip! And when it was finalized she provided us with the most user friendly App which contained our complete itinerary, flight information, accommodations and excursion information. This App made a two week trip seamless! If you ever get a chance to visit Italy, go to Sicily and Calabria and have Claire book it!! Thank you Claire for creating such a memorable trip!

Italian trip of a lifetime!
Absolutely best experience ever! This was our first time going to Europe and Claire made everything so easy! Everything was planned out to the minute and it worked so well, we were never rushed, and got to experience the best of Italy! Claire was so kind and knowledgeable, answering every single question with patience, no matter where in the world she was. We would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants to travel and if I’m blessed to get another chance for a trip like this I would definitely use Claire’s help again! I could literally go on for days about her and her passion for travel and helping people enjoy their time. Every inch of the trip was an absolute dream come true! Thank you Claire!!!

Claire's assistance and responsiveness throughout the whole booking and pre-cruise process was absolutely outstanding. Could not have been better! We felt valued, and appreciated her insights and suggestions pre-cruise. Everything she said - right on ! And Antarctica exceeded expectations. And Atlas is a great expedition line in EVERY respect. We were already quite familiar with the Antarctic but nevertheless learned MORE! (...Who KNEW that humpacks make a sound like an elephant trumpeting while feeding on krill?!?! )... Our staff of expedition subject matter experts was superior. And the hotel aspects were beyond expectations. and the FOOD ! there is always something for everyone of every inclination and preference. All the gear provided was of the highest quality. we'll circle around again for another, no doubt about that !

I had what I thought it was an impossible dream, visiting Greece always seemed out of reach. Then, I met Claire, I met her online but, after chatting for a bit, I knew I could trust her, she was amazing since the beginning and I took a leap of faith and boy!! Was it worth it! My longest dream came to a fruition and even better than I could have imagined. Me and my daughter visited Greece and Turkey for 10 days, us been the most amazing and out of this world experience. She made everything so easy and stress free. I don't have enough words to express my gratitude for make my dream come true!! She is amazing at she does. Love you, Claire!!

We had a wonderful time. Thank you for all your preparation making it a great trip. Canada was beautiful and there wasn’t any smoke from the forest fires. Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island and Quebec City were my favorites along with Bar Harbor. I think my next trip next summer may be to Iceland and Greenland. I will be in touch! Thank you again.

Most of us are used to often making our own travel arrangements, but I truly believe utilizing the experience of someone who has been there, knows the industry, knows the amazing places you can stay, things you can do, is invaluable. My friend Claire has traveled the world and has turned her live of travel into her career and life's work. I have many friends and family who have worked with her and all rave about the experience and travel they have had. Just wanted to share so if any of you need someone, she is the travel guru! And it's not about expensive travel, she knows how to travel on a budget or how to travel no expense spared! Love you Claire!

Claire is the kind of travel professional you want to use to plan your next vacation. She worked closely with my needs and wants and helped me narrow down my options to suit my budget. Claire kept in contact with me before my trip and reminded me of important dates and documents that I needed. I would happily use her services again- she has her finger on the pulse. With her experience with so many destinations, the only challenge I have is deciding which one to choose next! Thanks Claire!
