Emyli's reviews

I was extremely pleased with how our trip unfolded. We were booked into unique and welcoming hotels. With Fora we got upgraded rooms, welcome gifts, and free restaurant breakfasts. Emyli arranged for us to see everything on our checklist and even helped find restaurants that accommodated the dietary needs of our group. I've never had a trip go so smoothly. I would highly recommend Emyli's services.

I was headed to Vegas for a music festival but wanted to extend my stay and explore the city. The sheer number of options was overwhelming, so I turned to Emyli and she made the trip super easy. Emyli helped me book a fantastic hotel room, suggested must-see Vegas shows and secured tickets, and helped curate a perfect itinerary with suggestions for experiences, restaurants, and more. I'm so grateful for Emyli's expertise. She turned my Vegas trip into an unforgettable adventure.
