Travel style

From locally guided city tours to chatting up the owner of the road-side farm stand, my goal is to discover the heart and soul of a place and its people. My typical travel day includes a morning activity like a hike or museum tour, afternoon people watching at a local park, and happy hour with a great view!

Laura 's reviews

Laura went the extra mile to make sure we had the right place at the right price. 5 out of 5 for sure!

Laura is an amazing agent delivering a concierge-level service. She is detail-oriented in her planning and is great with follow-up. The "Trip Plans" app is a very helpful tool that Laura recommended and I used throughout our two state, 17 day trip. And, she is quick to resolve the inevitable problems that surface during an extended trip. Travel can be challenging but with Laura Vander Neut's bespoke approach it certainly is much easier. My best recommendation is that Laura is already planning our next travel adventures.
