Lisa was incredibly helpful as I planned, under a compressed timeframe, a family trip to Ireland (with a few days added to the trip in Scotland). The 12-day itinerary Lisa discussed extensively with me and developed, revised, and finalized with her contact in Ireland was the key to our amazing trip. Without Lisa’s involvement and support, I don’t believe our trip would have been possible. Lisa is very easy to work with and I greatly appreciated how responsive she was to my outreach via text, emails and phone calls. I highly recommend Lisa, and look forward to working with her again!

Lisa was exceptional in planning our 40th Anniversary trip to Ireland! My husband Paul and I wanted a 12-day, activity-filled itinerary that let us explore the outdoors, and Lisa delivered beyond our expectations! We enjoyed private walking tours in Dublin, Waterford, and The Burren, and unforgettable experiences like Beyond the Trees in Avondale and a coastal walk with a tasting at an abalone farm in Connemara.
Our self-drive tour included time to visit family in Cork and Bere Island, along with plenty of opportunities to explore on our own. We requested luxury accommodations, and each hotel welcomed us with special treats and handwritten anniversary cards.
Every detail was seamless, and everyone we met was warm, knowledgeable, and helpful. Even when a delay required us to reschedule our Waterford tour, the guide adjusted easily, allowing us to enjoy a memorable experience with a traditional seanchaí.
I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa Paladino to anyone planning a special vacation! Lisa was exceptional in planning our 40th Anniversary trip to Ireland!

She also gave us valuable advice concerning what items we would need to bring to make our trip easier to pack for. She knows what’s necessary and what isn’t. Lisa also looks into what is specific to your needs. We really appreciate everything she did to make our voyage memorable and would highly recommend her.

Lisa helped us plan a once in a lifetime cruise and land tour of Alaska. Everything went as smoothly as possible, and the only hiccups were minor. We met after the trip and went over the things we would change and Lisa was very eager to help us plan our next trip with those things in mind. For traveling to Alaska we learned that going at the end of the summer can mean more weather issues -
But there are chances that weather will disrupt your plans no matter what time of year it is. We would also have liked more time on the train rather than motor coaches, and some better explanations of what was supposed to happen at one or two of the excursions. All in all, though it was a fantastic trip that we would do again. Potential travelers should be aware it is an expensive trip and this is not one you want to skimp on.

Lisa and Julie booked us an all-inclusive vacation to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. We’d been to Mexico several times before, but this trip was by far the best. We had a few must-haves, and some nice-to-haves on our list, and Lisa and Julie satisfied all of them for us – and more. We couldn’t have been happier.
With very short notice, they were able to book us at The Blue Diamond Riviera Maya resort. They quickly presented us with a short list of finalists with their recommendations and were very patient with some of our back-and-forth questions. Their attention to detail is second-to-none and they kept in constant contact with us throughout the process. The resort they found for us was easily the best we’ve ever stayed at, and our package even included business class seats for the flight which was an unexpected surprise.
I would recommend their service to anyone in a heartbeat, and we’ll certainly be using them to book our next trip. Top Notch

I have recently taken three trips under the good guidance and leadership of Lisa and Julie. The first was a two week trip to Curacao, requiring international flight and lodging arrangements, car rental, and entertainment options. The flights went without a hitch from our point of origin to our destination. Our lodging was directly on the water near a perfect bay for snorkeling. Lisa had researched the island and placed us in a relatively non-tourist region, which had easy access to a national park for spectacular hiking and also to numerous beaches for snorkeling. This was a trip to paradise, thanks to Lisa and Julie’s research and planning.
The second trip, Washington, D.C. Lisa’s research led to the perfect accommodations, just outside of the city. It was easily accessible by the metro; we didn’t even have to rent a car. The highlight of the trip was a guided Segway tour that Lisa booked for us.
The most recent trip I booked through Lisa and Julie was to Iceland. Again, all the international flight arrangements, lodging, car rental, and our tour destinations and itinerary, were thoroughly and exhaustively researched to provide a carefree experience.
Traveling requires attention to detail if it is going to go well. It’s a blessing to be able to put the travel details in someone else’s hands, confidant that the arrangements will suit my needs, so that I can spend my pre-travel time not on flight arrangements but on researching the culture of my destination and making the fun decisions!
