My Background
Melissa began her career in travel back in 1997, and has worked with the finest travel organizations in the industry. She has visited 80+ countries, and her first-hand experience is vast and varied -- from exotic safaris in Africa to the wilderness of Alaska; large cruise ships to riverboat journeys on every major waterway; across America from NYC to Napa Valley to Disney; throughout Asia, Europe and Down Under. She has carried a backpack and 'roughed it' on adventures and has escorted guests on private luxury jets, including circumnavigating the globe twice on the Concorde.
Regardless of where she is, who she is with, or how she is traveling... the goal is always the same -- to be part of the destination and 'present' with each moment. She take this personal goal and packs it into every trip for her clients. She engages clients throughout the planning process and helps them discover what it is they are seeking to create the perfect itinerary and come home with lasting memories.

Travel Advisor Extraordinaire
By: Kim
Reviewed on: 28 May 2014
I recently took a trip to Mexico and asked Melissa to help me with the planning of the trip . I always used a Travel Advisor in the past but everyone I knew has since gone out of the business so for the last couple of years I would book all my travel. I have to say she has exceeded all my expectations. She is very thorough, easy to talk to and did everything she said she was going to do and more! I would highly recommend her for all your travel needs. I know I will be referring her to all my family and friends. It makes all the difference in the world when you have a good Travel Advisor like Melissa!

Amazing service from Melissa

Melissa Reese recently planned a trip for my wife & me to Seattle followed by a cruise in Alaska. We were so impressed and relieved to have such a consummate professional to work with on our travel plans. She met with us in advance to do a pre-trip interview to better understand our interests, personalities, budget and 'travel bucket list' and goals. She then made some recommendations that aligned with our interests and together we narrowed the focus to just the right trip - as we decided on and finalized our trip specifics, including the providers that best aligned with our standards and preferences. From the planning process to after the trip ended, Melissa was completely involved and responsive . She went above and beyond to arrange special details and little surprises. We simply can't say enough good things. We will definitely be using Melissa for all of our future travel adventures. We highly recommend that you do the same!

Great Getaway
By: Fango
Reviewed on: 29 Nov 2014
This was an off-season getaway to the great Canadian cities of Montreal and Quebec City. Melissa did a great job of taking care of everything for me ahead of time. The location of the Queen Elizabeth in Montreal is perfect. Easy walk to Old Town and the metro. Buffet breakfast was great. Rooms and bathrooms are a little on the cozy side, but very comfortable and elegant. Quebec City really was awesome. What a great place to visit. The Le Chateau Frontenac is amazing! The hotel has recently had a major renovation and the rooms are gorgeous. Breakfast buffet was outstanding, as were both of my dinners at the Sam restaurant. Walking through Old Quebec City is like walking through a movie set. There are so many great shops and restaurants within a very short walk, and at this time of year there were very, very few people visiting. I'll definitely head back here - perhaps in a different season when things are greener and days are longer.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL
By: First Lady
Reviewed on: 06 Jan 2015
My family and I recently returned from a trip to San Diego staying at The Hotel Del Coronado for 5 nights and we asked Melissa to book the reservation for us. Our stay at the resort was excellent, but not without the 'extra perks' that Melissa managed to secure for us during our stay. I never typically utilize an agent to book our hotel accommodations but rather do so myself online, hence I didn't know how helpful and important an agent's services can be and my husband and I were highly impressed with what Melissa did for us. Her honesty, attention to detail and communication were above our expectations. I know such 'perks' are never a guarantee, but I do believe her affiliation with Virtuoso was a huge plus in our booking. We will definitely continue to have Melissa assist us with other travel endeavors in the future.

This trip was perfect and so well planned, down to the littlest details. Our transportation details were perfect. The hotel choices and recommendations suited us perfectly. We knew nothing about our destination and had very little time to research things to do. Melissa provided us with everything we needed to know as well as recommended day trips and itineraries.

Melissa is a gem... a true, travel experience professional!
By: Sue
Reviewed on: 31 Jul 2015
We had 25 experienced travelers ranging from 2 to 74 going to Costa Rica for the first time and everyone wanted to do everything with lots of opinions about everything. Melissa was amazing in keeping us coordinated, focused and happy during the planning process and she delivered what was a "trip of a lifetime" to our entire family. Her intimate knowledge of the region empowered us to make really good decisions about where to go, where to stay and what to see. She took into account the different ages, interests and budgets and ensured we were comfortable about our travel decisions, but also suggested a bunch of things we never thought of that really made our trip. Like golf carts for our use while staying in Tamarindo (a highlight for the kids) that took us to the beach and on early morning and late evening "game drives" to see the howler monkeys. She is so insightful! We will be booking with Melissa again..She is a gem... a true, travel experience professional!

Our vacation was magical. The itinerary was planned with the ideal balance for our family of four. We have two teenagers and my husband likes to be on the go all the time, but I like to have time to pause and sit in a cafe and people watch. Melissa was able to create a trip that felt seamless to us, there were no glitches from the details of our car transfers and car rentals, to the hotels, private tours and activities we booked. We especially loved our cooking class in Siena, Italy! Each hotel was excellent location and conditions. The rooms were ideal for us, and also happen to have been in the best locations and the price honored our budget. We had the trip of a lifetime and memories to share together always. Thank you Melissa for creating a trip for our family vacation that had it all, and more than we could have wished for !!!!

Another completely fulfilling trip from Melissa, the Brownell Group, and the Virtuoso Community. Over three weeks of one great activity after another. Three days in London at the Egerton House with all the upgrades, Tea, Martini lessons, and room. It was late in the season, ever thing was like a private tour, Hampton Court Palace, Les Miserable, Blenheim Palace and the Royal Albert Hall - Best of Broadway. Then three days in Budapest with everyday a couple of Viatours to keep us moving, Night river cruise, Parliament House, Wine country Tour, "Urban adventure" to the "Ruin Bars" for a Wine Culture Tour ending up with a great tour of the Central Market and another wine tasting after sampling everything at the market. Strolled over to the river from the Market and there was the MS Esprit, the Tauck ship that we were to spend the next two weeks on traveling up the Danube across the Main and down the Rhine to Amsterdam. What a trip, Thanks everyone!

This was my first time working with Melissa to plan our family's summer vacation. Melissa was very knowledgeable about the different countries and hotels we were considering and ended up booking us at a fabulous hotel. This was one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. When a tropical storm started heading our way towards the end of our vacation, we were so glad that Melissa was able to get us out of the country a day early. She worked with us to find an alternate flight on another airline and stayed in constant contact with us until we got checked in to the fight. It was very reassuring to know that we had a personal assistant helping us navigate that difficult process in a foreign country. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone who is considering traveling abroad as she definitely knows the ins and outs and pluses and minuses of the airlines, airports, and hotels. We will be using her again to plan our next vacation.

My favorite thing about working with Melissa is that just when you think she has topped herself, she goes over and above yet again. Her attention to detail is unparalleled. From short overnights to lengthy, complex adventures, Melissa patiently breathes life into my vague trip ideas-“I want a Christmassy vibe-could be warm, cold, near, far”-and manages to make it happen for my large family that ranges from 13-87. She researches all of my tangents and then helps us focus in on what will work for us. Once the destination has been chosen-no small feat-she then sees to it that we can travel without a care in the world. She has thought ten steps ahead and is prepared for anything and everything. Once we arrive at the destination, she still manages to keep tabs on us and make suggestions-often before we anticipate the need ourselves. I can’t say enough about the level of service Melissa provides. My only hesitation in sharing this review is that I want to keep her to myself!!!
