Mother-Daughter European trip of a lifetime!

Reviewed By Marcey Stamas - Highland Park, IL | Traveled to Paris ~ France ~ Europe
Carolyn did an amazing trip for me, my daughter and her two friends and their moms. The hotel choices were great, perfect location and amenities and the details were 100% accurate. Her suggestions were fabulous, from sight seeing, to restaurants and transportation. And very well priced - amazing service from Carolyn - who is an experienced world traveler herself! Loved Paris and Amsterdam.
