You can't go wrong here! Meghan is a great European travel agent. She planned our family London, Paris, Rome adventure. The hotels were high quality, boutique establishments, conveniently located near the metros in each city. What a relief to have transportation arranged to and from each airport / rail station.
I wish I had Meghan plan our excursions too, but I wasn't ready to dive into that at the time of booking and didn't engage her later - totally my fault. I'm sure she could have helped steer me better than I did on my own.
When I found our family at the airport in Paris and our flight to Rome cancelled and rescheduled to the next day while intransit to the airport, Meghan was there to help. I texted Meghan very early in the morning Eastern time and she responded quickly and helped by searching available flights for me (challenging cell coverage in Europe made my searches impossible) while I fought the French inefficacy on the ground. Even my 15 year old son gave her kudos for keeping me calm during the 4+ hour rescheduling fiasco. Once resolved, she notified the local Rome vendors of our unexpected change in plans and help educate me in case Plan B needed to executed (taxi if the driver wasn't there to meet us at midnight). Meghan exceeded all expectations.

Thank you so much, Denise!! You were a pleasure to work with and I’m so happy everyone enjoyed the trip! Airline issues are an unfortunate side effect of traveling sometimes, but I’m glad we were able to figure it out together!

Megan was AWESOME. She helped coordinate a 17 day trip across 5 cities in 3 countries for my honeymoon, and it was spectacular. She was incredibly responsive, and when we had a natural disaster while on vacation throw off a bunch of our plans, she was very responsive and saw to getting us new arrangements.
Very professional and can easily flex between value based travel and high end luxury. I’d strongly recommend to anyone looking to take a special trip and not have to worry about it. On top of it all, she was incredibly reasonable on price compared to others. I will be using her services again for sure!
Details: Honeymoon • 2 people • 21 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • Booking travel • Booking accommodations • Planning excursions • Air • Remotely (phone or internet)

Megan was fantastic! My fiance and I had no idea of all the wonderful places we could visit for our honeymoon that fit into our budget...until we started talking to Megan. She was very attentive - always replying to our messages within the same day ( often within the same hour!). She wrote up possible itineraries on all the places we were thinking about. She even gave us all the pros and cons of all our possible destinations (this helped us big time!). Megan was always so patient even when we had chosen a destination and questioned her about new locations. No matter how silly the question she always had an answer. We are very grateful to have worked with someone so kind and genuinely interested in the enjoyment of our honeymoon. My fiance and I are beyond excited for our honeymoon! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I'm so glad Megan responded back to me, and it was always in a very timely manner. She was so helpful with finding a cruise that fit my fiance and I's needs and was very patient with me even after she had drawn me up an itinerary and I asked her to look into a completely different cruise. For each cruise she helped me by drawing up a day by day schedule for us and priced out several different options so we could be sure to have one that fit in our price range. I would definitely use her services again in the future.

Megan and I immediately started discusssing my fiancé and I's November 2017 honeymoon immediately after finding her on Thumbtrack. I've probably been her craziest/most indecisive client so far but she stayed patient and helpful thoughout the months of continuous back and forth emails and for that I am forever thankful... not to mention her quick responses which were such a relief! After us going back and forth between Bali, Bora Bora and Fiji and Megan giving us options on top of options.. we finally decided on The Four Seasons Bora Bora and we couldn't have done it without Megans help! We're now counting down the days and are stress fee with our dream honeymoon booked! No way we could've done this without her! I truly can't rave enough about her. You want Megan to help plan your dream vacation, I promise. I'll be using her for all and any vacations we plan in the future!
