Travel style

I enjoy slow, mindful, and immersive travel that goes beyond sightseeing and souvenir collecting. It's about connecting with the soul of a place, understanding its history, and appreciating its unique character. I take time to indulge in the moment, and to create a personal connection with a destination.

Ella's reviews

Ella understood right away our needs . She booked a tour guide for us and we were more than happy with this knowledgeable guide . Ella was also very responsive when the plane was delayed and I contacted her about the driver pick up time at the hotel. It was a great experience and we will use her again in our future trips.

Ella is very thorough and professional. Her passion for travel is obvious and she strives to provide her guests with a memorable and smooth experience.

Once again, booking with Ella gave us perks and pricing we otherwise would not have access to. Ella has an attention to detail that shows that she has experience working with discerning clients, and in our case with toddler parents. She takes all the pressure off the booking process and we're greeted at the property like VIP guests. The perks this time were extremely generous, such as a welcome amenity consisting of a full bottle of wine and dessert, enough resort credit to cover all of our meals, an upgrade, and check-in as early as 10:30 am, which is unheard of. Thank you, Ella!

I can't thank Ella enough for transforming our father-son trip to Lima, Peru into an unforgettable adventure. Her thoughtful planning went beyond simply accommodating our requests—she took time to understand our interests and enhanced our experience with personalized suggestions for activities we would never have discovered on our own.

The hotel she selected was perfectly situated, allowing us to easily explore the city's vibrant neighborhoods. Having all private transfers and tours arranged in advance eliminated the stress of logistics, giving us precious time to connect and create lasting memories together. Ella's expertise and attention to detail truly elevated our journey from a simple vacation to a meaningful bonding experience that we'll cherish for years to come.
