Honeymoon Dream

We couldn't have planned a better honeymoon if we tried. Melissa took our dreams of an Italian honeymoon and made them a reality. Everything was perfectly laid out and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Since she has done everything prior to booking for us she knew exactly how much time we needed at each destination. She added places and tours to our itinerary we didn't even know we would want. It was absolutely perfect! My husband and I already said she will be planning all of our future out of country vacations. I couldn't imagine doing our honeymoon any other way than with My Traveling Panda planning it.

Our Perfect Italian Honeymoon

Melissa helped us plan the honeymoon of our dreams last year. We had very little travel experience and were unsure where we exactly wanted to go. With our general idea she was able to help us figure out a perfect trip for us! We traveled all over Italy and saw 5 cities, Milan, Cinque Terre, Florence, Venice and Rome. We were on a budget and Melissa helped us find something that fit our budget. Everything about our trip went perfectly!
Melissa was extremely quick to respond and helped us feel comfortable for our first big adventure. I strongly recommend Melissa for any travel and honeymoon planning!

Melissa with My Traveling Panda was nothing short of amazing! She was so accommodating to answer all my 100 questions and to give me options to help us choose our dream destination. Right before our trip to Saint Lucia she gave us a few local tips that really came in handy and we both thought that was a nice friendly touch to her service! We will be using My traveling Panda for all our future Caribbean or European vacations! Thanks again Melissa!

My wife and I currently got back from our honeymoon, in Punta Cana. It was absolutely amazing! Melissa planned/handled everything, and she really went above and beyond. She really gave us a memory we will never forget. My brother also used her services for his wedding in Mexico, and it was just beautiful! Not to mention, my family has also used her services with their vacations. I can honestly tell you that She sincerely cares about her clients and works hard in making their vacation as best as it can possibly be. She is very professional, personable and knowledgeable. I would definitely tell anyone that wants to plan a vacation to talk with Melissa at My Traveling Panda, and you will not be disappointed. Thanks Melissa!

Melissa is AMAZING! We had a whirlwind of a wedding/honeymoon month and she was right there to help us when we needed it most. She was there for my family during multiple hurricanes and trips this past month and was professional, answered emails in a timely manner, and is currently working with us on some post trip items. Our honeymoon location was beautiful and a perfect relaxation after the craziness of the wedding; except for the hurricane :) that blew through. We lost email capabilities during the storm however I was able to communicate with my sister who reached out to Melissa about our travel plans and the key items we needed to know. Melissa was able to figure out all of our options on leaving the island (before or after the storm); updates on our excursions, and also our flights. She was quick to return emails and had all the information for us when we started to get wifi/emails back at the resort. It was comforting not only to us but to our families who were very worried about us during the storm. We were in good hands with the resort and Melissa. As for the resort I could not have felt more safe, secure, and prepared for the storm. They were on top of all issues before and after the storm and tried their best to make the best of a bad situation.

I had worked with Melissa before and was referred to her by my little sister who travels the world every year. We both will never use any other travel agent and will continue to book our vacations through My Traveling Panda. Thank you Melissa for helping me and my family with unforgettable trips.

Excellent experience! We used this company to plan our 12 day trip to Greece and it could not have been any better! When you travel to a foreign country, you have a small thought in the back of your head like "what is this ride doesn't show up" or "what if this hotel didn't have our reservation"; this was not the case! Every hotel, every flight, every ferry, every excursion, every private transportation was punctual, friendly, and a smooth, easy experience. As for our trip: the hotels we stayed at were fabulous! The views were amazing! If you have never been to Athens, Mykonos, or Santorini - please book through this company ASAP!
