My Background
I've never been afraid of a little adventure. When I was just 22, I moved to Qatar to become an English Teacher and my life was forever changed.
I grew confident and courageous because of the people I met, the experiences I had, and the cultures that taught me new lessons.
I joined the travel industry because travel changed my life and I love helping my clients experience the transformational power of travel and adventure.
The biggest value of working with me is that I advise you where to go and what to do based on my extensive knowledge and travel experience of 30 countries.
I believe the best part of luxury travel is creating a customized experience for you and having total peace of mind.

Great Advice from a Great Advisor
By: Steve
Reviewed on: 12 Nov 2017
Marisa was awesome to plan our vacation with. She was quick and complete in answering all of our questions during the planning phase and had great suggestions for activities. She was able to set us up with an amazing hotel which we got great perks at because we booked through Marisa.
During the trip, she checked in on us to make sure everything was going well. She immediately got in contact with the hotel when we had an issue and got it taken care of, even though there was a large time difference.

Marisa De Salvio- December 2017
By: Anne
Reviewed on: 01 Jan 2018
Marisa was great to work with. She was very easy to get in touch with and always had answers to my questions. She did a great job in helping find a great destination within our budget. We had one small issue with the resort during our stay, it was nothing major so I was not going to bother her with it. She emailed me during the vacation to check in on us so I decided to let her know about it. As soon as I told her, she was in contact with the resort regarding the issue. She was also so thoughtful and gave us a Starbucks card to use in the airport(which was definitely needed and used quickly)! I would definitely recommend her!

Honeymoon Review
By: Chanin
Reviewed on: 22 Mar 2018
WHERE DO WE START?
Thank you so much for all of your help planning and executing the most amazing and perfect honeymoon. It was truly everything and more than we expected.
We are absolutely thrilled with your level of service and professionalism! Everything was seamless through the many planes and hotel checking's not to mention the expedited service through security when going through Visa checking.
We traveled to 3 different countries for 20 days and had over 12 flights. Marissa ensured that we were met with our guide and driver at all hotels/airports to ensure safe and seamless travel. Not to mention expedited travel through countries with an immigration officer.
She also worked with us through our vision and listened to all feedback to really plan the best trip.
She is the ultimate detailed oriented planner and gave us a honeymoon of a lifetime.

Perfect Honeymoon in Nicaragua!
By: Nikita
Reviewed on: 22 Jun 2018
We couldn't be more happy with our honeymoon in Nicaragua. Marisa was so flexible throughout the entire planning process, which eventually led to the perfect, unconventional choice for us. We relaxed by the water and admired wildlife, we tried local food, we got super active - and by active, we mean, seeing a live active volcano at night. Wow! This was the most 'gram worthy experience we've ever been on and it's something my husband and I will never forget.

Prompt, personal, professional!
By: Alex
Reviewed on: 07 Sep 2018
Marisa was fantastic from start to finish. My partner and I were traveling to a new City for a friend's wedding. She was super responsive to all my emails and really comprehensive in her replies. We selected a great Virtuoso pre-paid rate at the city's premier hotel. Later on closer to the time, I found I had made a mistake with dates. Marisa took this in her stride and was able to negotiate with the venue to adjust the pre-paid rate. A huge perk from working with a real person and agency, to leverage their skills and relationships. The stay was great and the complimentary room upgrade was a huge perk and well worth it!

Best babymoon!
By: Jorge
Reviewed on: 21 Oct 2018
Working with Marisa was excellent! I wanted to plan a surprise babymoon for my wife, but I worried I wouldn't do the trip planning justice, as my wife owns her own travel planning company. I knew I needed an expert. Enter Marisa. Marisa was easy to work with, flexible to accommodate my vision, and a great communicator. She came up with unique ideas, and was a true professional throughout the planning process. My wife and I spent 4 dreamy days in the French countryside in a beautiful chateau, and loved every minute of it. My wife was surprised and had a wonderful time! Marisa is an all-star and I'd hire her again.
