    Best family vacation ever!
    Reviewed By Omar H. A. - Houston, TX | Traveled to Playa Del Carmen ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
    Before working with Vessy, our experiences going to the beach and staying in resorts were pretty average - too noisy, bad room, waiting too long to check in, bad food, lack of good activities for children, etc. Not to mention, figuring out and arranging all the details ourselves was so overwhelming and daunting.
    Working with Vessy has completely changed our concept of a family vacation. She always asked us the right questions and understood exactly what we needed. She went above and beyond to arrange every detail (like making sure we had a proper child seat in the shuttle from the airport). Unlike our previous vacations, everything went so smoothly this time around, and we are looking forward to getting Vessy’s help again for our next vacation!
    Vessela Smith responded
    "Dear Omar, I'm so happy everything went as planned ... And I'm very excited to help you put together your next family vacation!"
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    The Most Amazing Ski Trip...Period!
    Reviewed By Bruce - Farmington Hills, MI | Traveled to Jackson Hole ~ Wyoming ~ USA
    Each year I plan a ski trip with family and friends out west. Sometimes my plans go smoothly, but often it turns out to be a hassle. This year I wanted to go skiing in Jackson Hole (Wyoming), and I decided to ask Vessy to help me plan the trip. All I can say is: Why didn't I do this before?! Not only did Vessy plan our trip down to the last detail, but she also found a great deal on an amazing hotel right in Teton Village. Vessy took care of everything, from our airline tickets and airport transfers to accommodations and discounted lift tickets...She even recommended restaurants for us to try while in town. So, I’ve decided…I'm never planning another ski trip by myself again! From now on, I'll let Vessy do all the work, and I'll just go and enjoy my time skiing with family and friends!
    Vessela Smith responded
    "This truly makes my day! Thank you so much! I had the best time planning your ski trip to Jackson Hole! What a beautiful destination to ski!"
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
