What People Are Saying

1 Week Sailing Trip to Kiwayu in the Lamu Archipelago with the Sea Collective
“Melissa was fantastic. She paid attention to all the things I wanted like a swimming pool on the property so I am able to swim daily, as well as an early check in. She constantly updated me on things with the hotel and different things I asked her to look into for me. I will definitely use her service again.”
Travel Planning for a sustainable Get Away to Dubai
“Totally recommended! My travel advisor Melissa Vettel was just amazing. Her communication was very kind and quick and always reliable. She got a super cheap price for us (when I would have booked it without her I would have paid almost double), room upgrade and we also got a voucher for 100 Dollar to spend it within the Hotel. She had cool insider tips for Berlin, which gave us an unforgettable time in the big city. From now on I will book all my trips with Melissa.”
