We've used Black Dog Luxury Travel for Trips before (resorts, experiences, etc). Custom dream trips is clearly where Paula excels. She knows all the things, or at least know the people who do, & is a master itinerary coordinator. Which makes using her almost too easy. Best part is, she custom designs things specifically for us!

Paula planned my husband's 50th birthday celebration for us (mid pandemic - May 2021) & still topped all of his wishes! Private sail through the Bahamas on a yacht with a few close friends, private chef, views, beaches, fishing (even swimming with sharks)! All we had to do was tell her what we had in mind, say yes, send her our info, pack & show up! Literally! Detailed itinerary & necessary requirements checklist done, all of it!

I'm usually the planner, but since Covid, we wanted to use someone to coordinate everything in one package together. Someone with more insight to help us navigate the constant changes, what was open, requirements, insurance, excursion availability, etc. I loved that I didn't need to do anything but click the links she sent & fill out the necessary forms when she told us to. Paula was awesome about making sure we had everything we needed.

Fast forward to October. I just celebrated my birthday in CROATIA! Duh, of course she did all the things again. I never knew I needed Croatia in my life until I went! She wasn't wrong, it's amazing! Again, Paula handled all the deets! I just showed up & made a bazillion new memories.

I never expected to be on a small floating restaurant, in the middle of an oyster farm, eating muscles & oysters strait out of the bay, while drinking wine & looking out to the horizon, but hey... these are MY dreams & she totally made them come true!

We had an in country guide our entire trip (HIGHLY RECOMMEND & totally worth it). He was incredibly helpful in navigating & coordinating all the things while we were there (from sea life, to hikes, history, unique dinners, coolest photo spots, best gelato & even a last minute trip to Montenegro - worth it). Tour guide, weather man & photographer all in one.

I never thought I needed a travel agent, but definitely appreciate the benefits, especially now! Paula makes the planning & traveling completely seamless. Having one contact for all the things has proven priceless! I couldn't dream up a better scenario than booking customized trips through her.

Thank you for filling our dream buckets Paula - Black Dog Luxury Travel! Will definitely be picking your brain for more magical adventures soon!

I'm super busy running my own business so I just let Paula know my want, needs and she makes the rest happen. She is also super responsive

My husband and I worked with Paula for our 2nd anniversary trip to Greece. We both are very picky with our activities, very picky with our time while on vacation, and tend to enjoy slightly different vacation styles. Paula designed and managed the most incredible vacation for us to Athens, Naxos, and Santorini with activities throughout each day that suited both our interests!! The experience was nothing short of perfection—From trying local foods with the locals, wine tours, catamarans, photoshoots and amazing hotels, to having someone only a text away that was working nonstop to rebook 2 delayed connecting flights and ensure we would get the most out of our trip. She can go as fancy as you want or as cost effective as you need. First question will be “what is your budget” and she will play in that sandbox. She is hilarious, fun, and insanely friendly so you will love her so much you’ll likely want to be friends with her :) You wont regret it!!!
