Our girls trip was BEYOND amazing and everything we hoped for!! I can't tell people enough what a fantastic trip Michaela put together for us. No words.....just the best! She listened to everything we asked for and made great suggestions for our itinerary, and was even available during our trip as we added some side-excursions. It was so great knowing we had her help if we needed it! I will definitely be using her again for future trips!!

Our trip planned by Creative Vacations was WONDERFUL! Michaela planned everything with such detail and thought, we felt taken care of every step of the way. Michaela even spoke with us when we were on our trip when we wanted to change something, handling the change without question. She sat down with us before leaving for our trip and ensured we felt like we knew our plans and had a folder organized for us for each stop on our itinerary! We are so eager to work with Michaela again on our next adventure!

Michaela arranged for the most memorable trip for us! Were we 3 adults and 2 kids and we all had a blast! The perfect mix of fun and educational. The guides were amazing, hotels just perfect and the advice we received was spot on! I can't wait to plan our next trip! Thank you again Michaela!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience and planning our amazing adventure to France though Creative Vacations and with Michaela Moore. In early 2020 we had decided that we were going to plan a trip to Paris and my first call was to Michaela, I knew with her extensive knowledge and background, especially in Europe, would make her our best choice. We were planning a trip of dreams and we wanted no punches to be pulled on this one. Sometimes I have a hard time finding people who can truly understand what we are looking for. I was going to be traveling with 3 companions, my 12-year-old son and 2 adults in their 70’s, none of them had traveled to Europe before, so the order was a tall one. Michaela was able to craft and develop an itinerary that is still unrivaled in all the online groups and research I had done on my own. She knew the ins and outs and created a curated red-carpet experience for us all.
We were so excited to go, but as we all know COVID hit that Spring and out trip was rescheduled for the next year and then the next. I longed for the experiences she had created, and I began to worry that the experience would never be able to live up to the expectation. I was wrong. We had amazing adventures and culinary experiences, we had curated tours, and time to wander. We got it all and more. Michaela was there every step of the way; she was excited for us and attentive to changes we wanted as our desires changed. There are so many websites and apps out there, that many people do not use travel agents, like they should, but for me, it was the best decision we made. She took care of it all, the re-booking, the refunds, all the way down to good tables and reservations at impossibly hard to get restaurants. I would not trust anyone else with my dreams and I am excited to start planning our next adventure.
Thank you, Michaela and Creative Travel, for all that you have done for me and my family!

We used creative vacations for my first trip to Paris France. We had several experiences we requested with small tours.
Everything we asked for was planned exactly like we wanted as if Michaela knew exactly what we were expecting.
We have recommended her to multiple people and we are using her to plan all future vacations. She is planning an Ireland/Scotland for us for next year.
Great customer service.

In September we toured England/Scotland but started in London with our own private 4-hour tour of Westminster highlights arranged by Michaela. She never disappoints! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Michaela arranged for a private tour of Budapest 2 years ago and again it was first rate. (She always has great hotel suggestions too.) We tell her our ideas of what country we want to visit and she comes up with 4-5 options for a very memorable vacation, whether by land or water. She’s a gem!

We have utilized Michaela with Creative Vacations for two trips. The first trip fall of 2023 to Scotland and Ireland and spring of 2024 to Italy. Both were a dream come true. Michaela is wonderful to work with. She is incredibly knowledgable and provided outstanding advice. She is always available for questions and is quick to respond back. She is also very patient and kind. We had not been out of the US before the trip to Scotland and of course we were excited and a little nervous too. She really helped us understand the process including how customs works and things to consider regarding ordering currency. Knowing she is available to answer questions was so comforting. Our latest trip to Italy was a breeze. Since she had prepared us so well the first time we felt so at ease leaving the US the second time. We will always utilize Michaela and Creative vacations.
