Working with Tanya is a dream. I just wish I had Tanya for every trip I plan abroad haha. Not only is the detailed itinerary full of turn by turn directions and options for each day, but it gives her personal recommendations for places to eat, drink, and hang out - in addition to all of the big adventures she helped me to choose. I was so overwhelmed by all of the amazing options of things to do in Switzerland. She gave me concrete advice on what was and was not realistic, what would work best for my kidsÊ» ages and preferences, where to base ourselves to get the most out of our time, and even how to get to each location. I am beyond grateful. I highly recommend doing a video call with Tanya (I had so many questions, I ended up wanting a second call with her!), followed by the detailed personalized itinerary - plus her general Switzerland guide. It is money well spent that will save me many many hours of painstaking research, plus money while we are traveling, and will keep us from making a wrong turn or missing something I really want to do on our trip this summer. Thank you so much, Tanya!!

I usually do all of my own vacation planning, but after seeing Tanya's instagram tips/videos and visiting her web site, I knew she would do a much better job than I could do! Her itinerary is so detailed, saved me so much time, and gives me peace of mind for taking our large family to Switzerland this summer. She also responded to my emails very quickly and thoroughly. Great experience working with her! I highly recommend.

Our family has been to many European cities and this is our first time visiting Switzerland. There's so much to do and see and that's where it can be overwhelming. Lucky for us we found Tanya. She has been incredible to work with has tons of knowledge since she lives there. She's put together a very detailed itenerary which has taken most of the stress out of our trip.

Tanya is amazing! I saw a few of her videos on Instagram and knew she would be a great resource while planning our stay in Switzerland. She met with us virtually and was extremely organized providing maps, trains schedules, & detailed notes following our call. She was able to easily answer all of our questions and was easy to schedule with and talk to. My only regret is that I didn't find her sooner as I'm sure I would have saved myself a lot of time and energy! Highly recommend her services!
