  • Granada & Sierra Nevada

    “We contacted Claire to help us with our New Year’s trip to Granada and Sierra Nevada. She managed to find us an amazing hotel in the heart of Granada, minutes walk to the train station and sightseeing spots. She also got us tickets to visit the Alhambra, which were sold out days before our trip and we would’ve missed it if it wasn’t for her. Her recommendations of places to visit, eat and the order to do things were spot on! We had an amazing experience and will be calling Claire for all our next trips.”

  • Portugal & Spain

    “Claire was just a wonderful resource to us throughout the trip planning experience. She was very flexible with what we needed help with, and we loved all her background and context for all of the places we went. She also gave us wonderful personal stories of the best places to go and we just loved all the experience she shared with us. 10/10 our family recommends Claire's travel advisor services!”

  • Iceland

    “Claire was an absolute pleasure to deal with. All aspects of our trip, from transportation to lodging to tours, were masterfully handled with absolutely no detail left uncovered. And every day held wonderful new adventures. I will never take a trip again without Claire’s assistance. Five stars!”

  • Aruba

    “I have already starting recommending Claire to friends and work colleagues. This was the trip of the lifetime! The Claire touch- including free breakfast, trip credits, and birthday champagne, made the trip extra special. 5 stars. Cannot wait to work with her again.”

  • Cambodia & Thailand

    “Just over a month ago, my wife and I went to Cambodia and Thailand for our honeymoon that Claire planned and booked for us. I can honestly say that no one could have done a better job than Claire did to make this an unforgettable experience from start to finish. There is no doubt in our mind that we will be going to Claire for all of our future travel needs. Thanks again for all you did Claire!”

  • Bali

    “Claire did a wonderful job planning our Bali honeymoon, and booked us amazing places that gave us so many free perks! There's nothing like a host of complimentary meals and massages to add extra enjoyment to a trip and we really appreciated Claire's support and helpful tips in a new country. We will most definitely call on Claire for our future adventures!”

  • Morocco

    “Claire is the ultimate travel advisor extraordinaire. Her attention to detail is impressive and she makes sure all options are covered to provide the best experience. I highly recommend Claire for any travel needs.”

  • Spain

    “So glad to have found Claire and never want to plan a trip without her again! From start to finish, Claire was a dream to work with. Claire listened carefully to what we’d loved about past trips and helped us pick the perfect “food and nature” destination. Through Claire’s extensive network and affiliations, we got to access gorgeous luxury hotels with special perks (take me back to the champagne welcome and free upgrades!). Claire was everything you hope for in a travel advisor: meticulous, thoughtful, and super responsive. Our experience felt like planning a trip with a good friend - if only she could have come.“

  • UK & Netherlands

    “Claire's insight and expertise is unmatched. We had a very complicated trip, involving 6 cities, 2 countries, 4 train reservations, and 3 flights, and she was able help us put all of these pieces together into a truly unforgettable vacation. Her recommendations for things to do and places to eat in each city were excellent, and the hotels she recommended were immaculate. A highlight for us was afternoon tea at the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh.”
