Here to the Moon Travel

I worked with Michele and Here to the Moon Travel for a solo personal international vacation to New Zealand and Japan. My experience working with her was wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone.
Outside of traveling to the Caribbean, this was the first time I was traveling internationally and I had an ambitious plan in mind — two countries, eleven cities, three weeks and a finite budget. Michele started off by asking me what my goal was for my trip and with the objective of seeing as much of each country in the short time I had she helped me connect the dots and put into place all the logistics I needed to make this trip a reality — flights, hotel, travel to/​from airports, arranging travel within and between cities and countries, and arranging structured tours as well as free time on my own. All within my specific budget!
Her research was thoughtful and I ended up with super-​detailed itineraries that were extremely helpful. I had several guided tours which were all great, with knowledgeable guides. Thanks to Michele’s planning I was able to loop together several of New Zealand’s and Japan’s main attractions plus have time to explore on my own which was important to me. She reserved hotels that were all high-​quality and ideally located in either downtown areas or near train stations which was very helpful for me since I was traveling alone.
Michele was very responsive and replied to any question within a day or two, connected me directly with vendors from the countries when needed and checked-​in with me during the trip as well. My trip was hassle-​free and everything went very smoothly and seamlessly. I was never confused about what was happening when or how I was getting where I was supposed to be. The logistics of my trip (and there were many given the aggressive pace of what I had planned) felt effortless, allowing me to focus on the experience.
I will definitely work with Michele again the next time I travel and absolutely recommend Here to the Moon Travel with no hesitation.

Top notch assistance for large group accommodations!
Michelle assisted my party of 19 secure discounted hotel reservations in 7 contiguous rooms in a luxury hotel, within a short under-​10-​minute walk of a major American music festival in May of 2015. She made the process seamless, convenient and obviously saved us a significant amount of money as this hotel was in extremely high demand during the festivities. I would certainly recommend her assistance in coordinating or facilitating any travel or leisure activities involving any size group!

Michele helped us book the most amazing villa in Sorrento, Italy to celebrate our wedding. She goes over and beyond. Not only did she find the perfect villa for our special occasion but she always brought me back down to earth during my bridezilla moments. Our friends and family still can’t believe I planned an entire wedding over seas, in a foreign country, one that I have never been. I can’t even speak Italian. But Michele made this all possible. Best travel designer and just an amazing person to know. Such talent, that she can add wedding planner to her resume. There’s nothing Michele can’t do. I can’t thank her enough.

I initially contacted Michele to help me organize a large company cruise. She was readily available and quick to respond to any questions I had and provided numerous options for us in our date and price range. Once we decided on the specifics she was extremely helpful in coordinating with all members of our group meeting their needs cabin wise including securing the most fabulous cabin for my boss! He was so pleased with everything that he contacted her within days of our return to book next years company cruise! Again in the coordinating of that she has been a true gem!
After that experience I recently contacted Michele again for personal travel. My husband and I were planning our honeymoon and Michele was so helpful. We were a mess and had no idea where we wanted to go and I swear we switched gears every 5 minutes. Michele was so patient gathering information for us and showing us the different options in all the locations we were looking at. She was also knowledgeable on the places we were asking about and was able to provide opinions and information on the various resorts in order to find the perfect for resort fit for our honeymoon. Once we decided on a resort she arranged for our flights and private transportation to and from the airport and we had an absolutely wonderful time. I can’t recommend Michele enough, her knowledge and handwork was invaluable to us during that hectic wedding planning time!
