Lauren was so wonderful. We are beyond grateful for her bookings and advice. She knew the best spots and most convenient locations when taking the train around Italy. I really appreciate her thoughtful in planning our baby moon and picking locations that had great sight seeing opportunities, but also beautiful landscapes to relax.
