What truly sets Melissa apart is that she doesn't build itineraries from behind a computer screen. She physically goes to these places and invests the time to know the hotels, restaurants, and tour partners firsthand. Because of that, the trip felt incredibly personal, like it was designed by someone with deep connections and real on-the-ground insight, not just industry databases.

Melissa is the best! Not only did she organize a trip that was truly off the beaten path, but provided excellent service even when we had dramatic changes. The restaurants that she organized was exceptional and the hotel accommodations were all excellent even in towns that did not commonly cater to American tourists. All the tours highlighted each region and we were never bored. As an American Chinese who wanted to learn about China, she put together a tour that is forever culturally memorable!

Melissa curated our trip to Greece with excellence. She listened to our interests and made recommendations that fit our personalities. The itinerary she creates and makes available through an app you can access on your trip is extremely valuable. Melissa and her team are very responsive and helped us with excursions, dinner reservations, etc. Real World Travel is 100% worth the investment of the small fee associated with this premium service.

Melissa with Real World Travel was great to work with, she took all our “would like to dos” and amplified them into a beautiful, adventurous, and luxurious vacation. We will use Real World Travel for all vacations now! Scotland was a dream trip for us and you made it come to life, thank you!

We took a wonderful 9 day trip to Morocco with some friends and Melissa planned such a beautiful trip full of the perfect balance between culture, adventure, and relaxation. Everything from the guides to the transportation to the hotels and riads was perfect and well researched and comfortable. I am planning on making Real World Travel a part of my resource list for all of my future trips! I hope you'll do the same.

This was one of the best experiences we have ever had! Melissa helped us plan the trip of a lifetime! For our honeymoon we wanted something secluded, private and fun and wow did she deliver! She arranged transportation, excursion and and a dreamy stay. We will be planning our next trip soon! Highly recommend!!

It was such a joy working with Melissa to plan a special trip with my sisters. Her detailed planning, including every connection and activity, even dinner reservations, allowed us to enjoy stress free time together in the places we've always wanted to see. We're already looking forward to having her plan our next adventure!

Melissa is one of the best travel planners. Period. Meticulous, detailed, fantastic communications. She has created so many good memories for our family via excellent trips and being flexible with our needs. She organized our Peru trip last year and Jordan/Egypt this year. The planning started 9 months back and she kept bringing suggestions to make it teen friendly. As a result our family is super happy with her services and we can't wait to get going on the next trip planning.

Every detail was thought of an the follow up from Melissa and team was impeccable, allowing us to truly enjoy our European adventure! Everything went so smoothly from the private transfers, custom tours, and even organizing our dining experiences to ensure we were sampling the best local flavors. Looking forward to working with Melissa on our next trip!

We enjoyed working with Real World Travel. We had a multi city, three week trip in Italy and they handled every detail amazingly. It was the best planned and ran trip for four people with different wants and needs. They are professional and knowledgeable. The app they use was an amazing feature. Would definitely recommend.

We had a great experience working with Melissa at Real World Travel in planning our trip to Alaska! We wanted adventure and we got it. It was beautiful! We went dogsledding, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and a helicopter glacier tour. Our trip was fantastic! I highly recommend working with Melissa for your future vacation!
