what travelers say
"Talia is the modern day travel agent!
When we started planning our 20th anniversary trip to Portugal/Spain/Morocco, it quickly became overwhelming. We're so thankful that we stumbled upon Talia and her expertise. From the first time we spoke, we could tell she was passionate and thoughtful based on her questions and attention to detail.
Her tiered services are affordable for every budget and are well worth the investment. We chose the middle option, received our itinerary within 3 days, and quickly booked our flights, lodging and excurisions based off of her recommendations with no problems. Don't hesitate - enlist Talia's help...you won't regret it!"
—Meredith M
“I highly recommend Talia’s trip planning service! We had an amazing time following her suggestions. The highlights of our trip were the activities, hotels, and restaurants that she recommended. She saved us countless planning hours, and we still wouldn’t have come up with the perfect combination of tours and places that we visited.
We are so grateful that she provided such a personalized itinerary for our fabulous trip to Portugal!”
—Mia O
“Working with Talia was amazing! 10x the quality of a travel I used in the past for 1/10 of the price”
—Becky A
"Talia was an amazing travel planner. She initially met with me to go over what I wanted to do and put together a whole itinerary in 3 days that was more than I could have ever expected.
I have used travel planners prior to her and her experience was much different and the most effective in my opinion. I wish she offered her services in throughout the world. If you are planning to travel to Morocco, Portugal, or Spain I highly highly recommend her.
Thank you again Talia!!!”

faq
Do you book hotels and tours for me?
No — I’ll give you curated recommendations and links and you’ll book directly. This keeps things flexible and often saves you money.
Can I change the itinerary later?
Yes! You’ll have access to edit your itinerary and upload your own bookings, so you stay in control of your trip.
What if I have more questions?
I'm always happy to answer a few questions via email after you receive the itinerary.
However, if you're looking for additional support on choosing, booking and making changes with your itinerary I suggest upgrading to my Custom Itinerary PLUS package.
