Laura N., South Carolina

This past year, 2020, was monumental for many of us in so many strange and weird ways. I “celebrated” my 70th birthday via Zoom with all of my family and friends and it was wonderful although a bit weird. My daughter was also going to celebrate a monumental birthday in July (40) so she gave me a wonderful gift of a mother- daughter trip to Montage Palmetto Bluff Resort. She had contacted Laura to set the whole trip up from start to finish. I can’t begin to tell you how impressed and delighted I was with every minute of this trip because of Laura’s expertise and genuine concern for our well being and enjoyment. Planning a trip with all the details is not my forte.....I have had some disappointing and gloomy results trying to do this on my own. Laura’s attention to detail was perfectly matched to our idea of a relaxing and easy going trip. She planned interesting and fun activities without over planning every minute. A truly enjoyable trip with lasting and treasured memories.

Hunter & Jenna, Tahiti

Laura helped us plan our honeymoon from beginning to end. We came to her with just a budget and a request to go somewhere tropical. She walked us through many great destinations making sure to highlight the pros and cons of each based on what we wanted out of our trip. We chose to island hop around Tahiti where Laura happens to be an expert! She scheduled all our travel (flights, shuttles, and ferries) and arranged for us to stay at the best resorts. Her connections ensured we were upgraded several times, including over the water huts, and that we were greeted with complimentary champagne in each new resort we checked into. She set up great snorkeling adventures, lunches on private motus, and an amazing sunset cruise around Bora Bora.
Laura was our honeymoon lifesaver. She helped us navigate the complexities of international travel during COVID by keeping us up to date on local and international travel regulations. She also saved our trip by finding new flights after our airline cancelled our flights one month before our trip and did not notify us! We were stress free as she found new flights that matched our existing trip itinerary. We are so grateful that we worked with Laura as it truly made our honeymoon that much more special!

Christy & Jason, Playa Mujeres, Mexico

I used Laura to book a trip to Playa Mujeres for Spring Break 2020 right before the COVID lockdown. It was our first family trip in 17 years that wasn’t primarily for one of our daughter’s softball tournaments and also our first family trip out of the country. I was stressed, but Laura made that all melt away with her expertise and knowledge. My concerns were primarily a safe environment and keeping within our budget and Laura blew it out of the park with Atelier Resort. She asked questions about things I didn’t even think of and handled everything including arranging for a personal driver to meet us at the airport. We had the time of our lives and I was so pleased that I booked a second trip with Laura to Cancun for 2021.

Chris & Andy, Thailand, Maldives, Singapore

When Andy and I got engaged we agreed that I would plan the wedding and he would plan the honeymoon. One day he tells me he is going to hire a travel advisor. My thoughts were, “They still exist? What is the point? You can do everything online now, right?”. I am glad to say I was so wrong! The honeymoon that Laura planned for us was way beyond our wildest dreams. We would not have thought about so many details like she did about our trip. In Thailand she hired us the best tour guide. One of our favorite parts was eating and drinking on the streets of Bangkok. We had such an amazing time and cannot wait to go back. In the Maldives she made sure they really took care of us and got us a complimentary massage among other things. Our final stop was Singapore, and all her recommendations did not disappoint. We have taken long trips before and although we had a good time the planning and execution does not compare to what Laura brings to the table. She will now and forever plan all our trips. 

Janecek Family, Costa Rica

In 2019, my husband and I were trying to plan a family vacation with our two teenage girls. As you can imagine, we were all looking for something different in a trip, and we didn’t even know where to start. we reached out to Laura because we knew her extensive travel history would be a huge asset. She sat down with us, listened to what we were all hoping for in our vacation, and was able to tailor an amazing trip to Costa Rica that was just right for or our family. We stayed at the beautiful Nayara Gardens Resort which is surrounded by tropical forests with breathtaking volcano views. We were spoiled by the incredible service and amenities on the property. Our days were filled with the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. Laura helped us plan all of our excursions. We enjoyed white water rafting, zip-lining, and hiking to the La Fortuna Waterfall. Everything was so well planned. We never had to worry about a thing. It was a trip we’ll remember forever, and we are so incredibly grateful to Laura for her help. 

Rauch Family, Park City, UT

We hired Laura to plan our family ski vacation to Park City, Utah. Being that this was our first ski trip we truly didn’t know where to start. Laura was an invaluable resource and helped us every step of the way. We walked her through what was important to us including Covid safety, family friendly activities and convenient travel and lodging. Laura exceeded all of our expectations and took the stress out of family vacation planning. The accommodations at the Lowell and its convenient ski-in and ski-out location were exactly what we needed to make our stay relaxing and family focused. Things like private transportation and delivery plus fitting of ski equipment allowed us to relax and just enjoy ourselves. Laura was even on call during our trip when conditions required a change in our planned activities. She handled making arrangements for a new adventure that the whole family enjoyed. The itinerary app was a quick and easy reference tool that kept us organized and on schedule. It included great tips and recommendations for restaurants and food delivery that were spot on! I can’t imagine planning another trip without Laura. We look forward to many more adventures using her. 

Chad & Dore, Turks & Caicos

Our family of 4, including our two little boys ages three and six recently experienced an awesome vacation that was planned for us by Laura. It was over the Thanksgiving holiday and during Covid, so there were a lot of anxieties about the trip and additional hoops to jump through to pass the Covid protocols. Without Laura’s help walking us through the process, I don’t think we would have made it there successfully! Having never been to Turks & Caicos, we went exclusively with Laura’s advice on where to stay and what to do for activities. Our first four days were spent at Grace Bay Resort and we would return. Grace Bay Resort was very friendly and accommodating to a family with young kids. The second half of our trip we moved to The Shore Club, which was on the other side of the island. The facility itself and the beach and water is absolutely stunning; Amongst the best of all our travels. On breezy days, the water is littered with 100’s of kite surfers. Our room was amazing, both in its location and quality. We walked directly out to the beach. All and all, Turks and Caicos is a friendly and safe island and a place we look forward to returning. It will be hard not to return to the same two places Laura put us this time around, but for sure, we will let Laura lead us in the right direction. Her services are first class. She does not just plan the trip, but she is at your service throughout your trip by phone, text or email to help you while you are there. We are looking forward to our next trip in June to Costa Rica, planned by none other than Laura Krugly!

Peter, Marco & Jeremy, Charleston, SC

After being home for about a year, we were anxious to take a trip, post-vaccination, to celebrate my birthday. We wanted to travel some place we'd never been before that was history rich, had an art & music scene and plenty of unique dining experiences. Charleston, South Carolina is where we landed. Laura found the perfect hotel (fully equipped with CHAMPAGNE room and roof top bar) within walking distance of most or our activities. She secretly worked with my husband and brother to surprise me with all of our dining reservations, daily excursions and must see Charleston highlights. She made the occasion extremely special and the process for my family super easy. We all highly recommend connecting with Laura for your next get away!
