Lisa,
Needless to say, you were right on the money, when it came to knowing what to see, how to get there, and more importantly making special arrangements for 18 of us…
Here we go:
Why would anyone want to use Lisa to arrange a trip to Lake Como, Italy?? This is what a group of us thought, before meeting Lisa, and having Lisa compliment what we had arranged and already booked. It was the best choice we made. We were a group of 9 couples, and have traveled like this before to Venice and Tuscany, planning everything from flights to cars to hotels to renting a villa.
Meeting Lisa was an amazing reward for us, we planned a trip to Lake Como about a 1 ½ ago, went online and rented a beautiful Villa, which we could only do because of the number of people we had. We then booked our flights, which left us a week in Lake Como, and 3 nights somewhere else….This is when Lisa was introduced to us, and as one of the three planners, I was grateful for having her really make this trip very special for us.
We met at one of our monthly dinner meetings, to get things coordinated and in the Italian mood. Lisa shared with us the key sights, dinner recommendations, rental car options, and helped guide us to the Italian Riviera, for our final 3 days. Lisa has SOOO many connections in Lake Como, and because of this, she was able to arrange for Day Trips, dinners, Spa treatments, fishing and golf. She was able to guide us to the MUST SEE places in Como, directions to stores, etc. If you have never been to Lake Como, you need to get the tips on how to get around, including parking, directions, etc….
I would say, “you are making a mistake, if you don’t use Lisa,” as it was what made our trip complete. Her knowledge of the area, her connections to the lowest cost rental cars (we had 5 cars, and she was able to get a lower cost by nearly $300 per car) than we could. We definitely benefitted by her personal connection to key restaurant owners, and how we were treated. We were lucky enough to be in Lake Como the same time she was, and we met for dinner one evening, and were very happy to have her join our group.
Using Lisa is not an option, it is the ONLY OPTION!
You can trust Lisa, she is very attentive at getting back to you, and will definitely enhance any trip you plan.
Thanks again,
Chris Barone and Gang…

We could never have pulled off a last minute trip to Lake Como and the Italian Riviera with out Lisa! Not only did she make it happen for us, but she made it wonderful as well. Four years ago Lisa planed and booked our first trip to Rome, Tuscany and Venice and it was amazing, so we had complete confidence in giving her such a challenge. With less than two months notice she was able to find great hotels and even make highly desired dinner reservations in her favorite restaurants during the height of the summer season for us! From the car reservation to the very accurate maps to the detailed itinerary, Lisa did not disappoint. Lisa even followed us by text and sent reminders to us daily for upcoming events, while my husband sent her pictures of food! The entire trip went so smoothly and we were treated like family by her friends in beautiful Lake Como. This is truly a magical place. The Italian Riviera, although very different was equally enjoyable. Our visit to Cinque Terre was a unique and memorable experience. Yes, this is well worth the trouble it takes to get there. Ending our vacation, sitting in a Portofino restaurant watching the yachts dock wasn't too shabby either.So, next time it will be Southern Italy and we promise to give Lisa a little more notice to plan that one!The DeLallo's

Planning a 10-day trip to Italy can be daunting. What towns to visit? Where
to stay? What sights to see? Lisa made our trip planning incredibly easy
for Donna and myself. She recommended and booked some wonderful hotels in Milan,
Modena, Volterra and Florence, even going so far as to choose the individual
room. She knew our style and found us the perfect properties. This alone was enough to make her services valuable but she provided
so much more. In each city, she recommended restaurants, gave us travel tips
and strategies for seeing some fantastic museums while avoiding the long
lines, as well as recommending some wonderful local guides. Thanks to
Lisa's help, our trip was a blast. Lisa books worldwide, but her expertise is definitely Italy!!!! To anyone visiting Northern Italy and beyond, I
would highly recommend using Lisa to help make a great vacation fantastic!!!!!

My wife and I are super busy and had to sneak in a last-minute anniversary trip to Positano and Lake Como in September. Lofty idea, trying to book two weeks in advance of this trip, I know!!! We found Lisa and she literally achieved the impossible. She literally gave us the anniversary of our dreams. First, she got us an amazing hotel in Capri (on her recommendation) which was so far beyond our expectations it was crazy-We were booked already at another hotel and she told us to cancel it. We listened. We have to go back. She then got us unattainable lunch reservations at the world famous Da Adolfo in Amalfi with almost zero notice and a private boat to bring us there and back!! Their waiting list is usually a year or more!! Lisa knows the right people. And finally, the piece de resistance, she got us last minute reservations at the 5-star Grand Hotel Tremezzoon Lake Como, when I couldn’t even get a single room on any website. (She is friends with the owner). She went as far as to have her friends private boat company tie up to the pool at Grand Tremezzo to bring us on a private tour of the lake!! Now that is service.
All in all, Lisa is the singular reason that we were able to make this special anniversary trip happen, and boy was it needed…Thanks Lisa!!!!

Lisa, cannot thank you enough for organizing our fabulous trip to Paris and Barcelona. The hotels were elegant with impeccable service, the restaurants were all incredible. All the extras you arranged were so welcome. The side excursions were fantastic from cooking paella in Barcelona to a private golf car tour of Versailles. You were wonderfully responsive, always patient and full of helpful information. Thanks a million for a trip of a lifetime. Beth and Karl

We knew we wanted to go to Italy but had no idea how to put the trip together. We were stressed just thinking about planning it. Thankfully, a friend recommended Lisa. She took all the stress and worry away. We gave her the basics, dates of travel and where in Italy we wanted to go. With that she planned a beautiful trip for us. She took care of every little detail, something only someone with her knowledge and expertise could do. She booked the flights, the hotels, the trains, the drivers, the restaurants, the tours, she did it all!! She was texting us while we were there to let us know she’s available if we need anything. Anytime we had question, wether it was during the planning process or while laying by the pool in Italy she was one quick text away. The only thing we had to do is board the plane! There is no way we could have planned this without her. She thought of everything, down to the littlest detail. We loved having someone we could trust to plan our trip of a lifetime. We loved italy and plan on going back. We without a doubt will use Lisa again to plan our trip. I always wondered if using a travel agent was necessary or worth it and now I know, it is both necessary and well worth it! Take my advice and let Lisa plan your trip of a lifetime!
