From a very young age, I have been traveling with my family and always have loved to travel. In fact, my first international trip was as a toddler on a transatlantic flight to Turkey with my parents. I clearly caught the travel bug during that fateful journey, as I since have visited 40 countries...

Montage Laguna Beach

I was upgraded upon arrival to the best view in the house: the Ocean Surf King Room. I also received other complimentary amenities: daily breakfast for two, $100 resor...

    Highly Recommend A Travel Expert Like Gunes!
    Reviewed By RachelGB - Richmond, Virginia | Traveled to Virginia ~ USA
    Gunes is so great at what she does and I'm so appreciative of her help with our family weekend getaway to a resort in Middleburg. In particular, she was great about sorting out what kinds of plans we should make for meals and activities for our 4-year old, sleeping arrangements for the baby, and was full of useful recommendations. We spent LESS working with her than we would have if we'd booked on our own at Salamander.
    Gunes Hopson responded
    "Thank you so much for your kind words! I love Salamander Resort and am so glad your family was able to enjoy your stay there."
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    COVID traveling, and dreaming about future travels
    Reviewed By Christine I. - Richmond, VA | Traveled to Virginia Beach ~ Virginia ~ USA
    Gunes provided the most professional and informative experience for us! She had answers to issues related to our travels BEFORE I even knew to ask the questions. She was always available...before, during, and after our trips....and made sure all of our needs were met. Outstanding service!
    Gunes Hopson responded
    "Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure to serve you, and I look forward to planning many more vacations for your family."
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Family trip to WDW
    Reviewed By Diana - Kernersville, NC | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
    Gunes was extremely helpful every step of the way. I knew that she had every detail taken care of both before and during the trip, and it made everything so stress-free! Even with a last-minute date change, she took care of it all quickly and efficiently. I will definitely use her services again for future trips.
    Gunes Hopson responded

    Luxury Disney World Vacation!
    Reviewed By Jana - Richmond, VA | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
    Amazing! Gunes was with us every step of the way, from brainstorming, to planning, to the day of and throughout our trip. She has so much helpful knowledge that she is willing to share to give us the best experience based on our personal wants and within our budgets. I was most impressed with her getting us a great package for a new Disney resort that was of utmost luxury, while staying within budget. Gunes was able to recommend flights, hotels and dates, but also gave us multiple options to choose what works best for us. She also gave us park recs and restaurant recs, and helped us make reservations as needed. She was essential in giving us a trip that we will remember fondly forever and a trip that for the first time was stress free for me because I knew she had it all handled!
    Gunes Hopson responded
    "I am so very happy that I was able to provide you with a stress-free vacation experience! My goal is to always take care of the details so that you can relax. "
