Audra Thomas

With very little time and not a lot of notice, Audra put together a perfect last-minute mini-vacation for a friend and me. She had several options at the ready, and after narrowing down our wants/needs (rest & relaxation), she identified a terrific place to go (the Turks) and booked our lodging at a great hotel. She also knew which flights were needed to enjoy the most time on our trip. Having visited the island, she recommended & reserved restaurants (one of which we enjoyed TWICE!) and suggested low-key activities for us to do. She booked an excellent car service for our airport/hotel transfers, and the drivers couldn't have been more delightful and welcoming. We loved this trip and plan to do it again next year!

Audra was perfect, really. She was creative, knowledgeable, responsive, conscientious, pleasant, and fast! All I had to do was pack my suitcase and enjoy the trip! She took care of everything. Zero stress.

I've dreamed of taking the Rocky Mountaineer across Canada for years, and this year, my husband and I, along with another couple, finally made it happen. Our Fora Travel Advisor, Audra Thomas, had arranged a stay at the Georgia Court Hotel in Vancouver before boarding the Rocky Moutaineer and a stay in Banff National Park. The accommodations were wonderful, and the food and wine there? Unforgettable! I’m still thinking about a mushroom omelette at breakfast. We loved the meals so much, we didn’t even bother trying other restaurants.

The next day, Audra had organized city tour for us. Then came the Rocky Mountaineer with Gold Leaf Service, which was nothing short of sensational! Seated near the front, we had the chance to chat with our lovely hostesses, who shared fascinating stories. The food onboard was outstanding, and we had an absolute blast.

Audra had recommended to be lakefront at the Fairmont Château Lake Louise for our first visit. The sight of that pristine lake was a memory I’ll cherish forever. Audra had even arranged a special welcome with treats waiting in our room. We spent time sightseeing, and I had asked to stay in a castle—little did I know there actually was a castle in Banff! Staying there for one night was incredible; we truly felt like royalty. The following day, we toured more of the stunning landscape before heading home.

This journey ranks among the top three trips of my life, thanks to Audra’s meticulous planning. She handled every detail with such care and professionalism, and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her plan our next adventure!

Communication was clear and concise! She was very helpful, and even with follow up questions provided wonderful support as we needed it. Book with her!
