Travel style

I'd want to go out to eat and see local culture firsthand. I enjoy visiting countries where there is always a beach close by, to big metropolitan cities and buildings. I enjoy having choices and embracing each day as it comes to making the most memorable experiences possible. My favorite types of hotels are boutique and apart-hotels. My first stop on any holiday is an espresso at a local cafe.

Samar's reviews

Samar was wonderful. She helped us find the perfect hotel that had all our needs.

100/10 experience booking my trip with Samar! She really did the most when it came to personalizing my trip and truly listening to what experience I was looking for when searching for hotels and accommodations in both London and Santorini! I cannot wait to utilize her services on my next trip.

Samar was absolutely amazing. Provided great services on helping us choose the best hotel for me and my husband within our price range. Would highly recommend booking through Samar & in fact will definitely re-book through her for our next time in Europe! Thank you Samar for helping me and my husband have the best time in Paris!

Samar was outstanding in planning our Turkey trip, offering great hotel recommendations for our group of 4 and ensuring everything stayed within budget. From city explorations to beach getaways, Samar booked us amazing hotels. She was meticulous about staying within our budget and communicated clearly at every step. She also secured discounts on Viator tours and provided valuable local tips for restaurants and shopping. Having booked with her before, I’ll definitely continue to choose Samar for future travel.
