Melanie's reviews

This was my second time working with Melanie and again she was exceptional. Melanie is truly capable of finding the best hotels to my preferences. She remains to be incredibly communicative. She even maintains communication when we are traveling which is noteworthy given the time difference. I will continue to work with Melanie- she has definitely elevated my travel experience!! I can't recommend working with her enough!

Melanie was amazing to work with! She was incredibly communicative. She was always one step ahead of me and made sure my time in Paros was to my preferences. Melanie even went above and beyond and found us all the restaurants we ate at and helped us book an incredible boat tour experience. Melanie is professional and experienced. I highly recommend anyone using Fora work with her!

Melanie's planning was nothing short of exceptional! Upon arrival at the hotel, we were delighted to be upgraded and welcomed with champagne to kick off my daughter's 30th birthday celebration. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured our trip went off without a hitch. I will definitely be booking with her again!
