Elizabeth was very efficient and helpful, especially given a very short turn around between my first reaching out and the trip. In addition, the trip was during a peak busy time in the country we were visiting and a major holiday here in the US.

I've worked with folks at Virtuoso before but this was my first time with Elizabeth. We booked travel to Nizuc Resort in Cancun. We spoke over the phone initially, and then communicated the remainder of our planning over email and I could tell after our first conversation that she was on top of it! She is responsive, proactive and detail-oriented which you really come to appreciate working in NYC! I look forward to planning my next trip with her and so glad we found someone dependable to work with going forward.

Elizabeth is so easy to work with. I've been working with her over the last couple years and had a long weekend in Vegas to plan. I'd ordinarily do it on my own but decided to ask her for assistance. She helped me book a room at The Cosmopolitan with Virtuoso amenities and I was able to check in at the Autograph Lounge which has much more intimate service and they were able to give me a room upgrade on a higher floor. She also sent a nice welcome gift which was delivered to my room the first night. Elizabeth is professional and prompt and always checks in to make sure things are going fine. I'm so glad I found her!

Smooth and seamless trip...great communication...highly rated!!

Found Elizabeth on the virtuoso website. She already had excellent reviews, which was the reason that we took her for a “test drive”. It was a relatively simple “starter kit” trip which she handled very well, demonstrating efficiency, knowledge and value consciousness. We will continue to use her services going forward.

Elizabeth Clyde was very interested in providing the best experience for my grandson and me. She confirmed her ideas and knowledge about the Galapagos Islands adventure with another travel agent who had actually been on the same cruise. I felt my concerns and questions were well addressed before we departed. The planned cruise more than met my expectations. Elizabeth planned the airfare giving me plenty of time to negotiate the major airports with luggage in tow. She also had suggestions for making the layover in Guayaquil more comfortable and fun. I chose to try to get home without spending another night away. In hindsight, I will listen to my travel agent next time as Elizabeth does try to make one comfortable in all aspects of the journey! I certainly will have Elizabeth plan my next adventure with another grandchild!

Wonderful. Elizabeth could not have been more attentive. She assidiously took care of everything required and even answered my pesky emails whilst on holiday herself. Would wholeheartedly endorse and recommend her to anyone organising a multi faceted trip.

Elizabeth did a phenomenal job! She planned every part of our trip to the final detail. She was extremely communicative and informative when we had questions. She brought her impressive knowledge of the area to craft an itinerary that exceeded even our highest expectations. Our favorite part of the trip was the Sydney Bridge Climb. It was absolutely stunning. I plan to work with Elizabeth on all my trips in the future.

I have never used virtuoso before but was recommended by a friend and was pleasantly surprised with the service offered. Feels a little strange not having met her in person but perhaps this is how we've adapted to the times. She responded to my inquiries within 1-2 business days. She let me know if she was going to be away for an extended period of time. I had a few inquiries and she was able to provide a pdf of various room rates in a timely fashion. The pdfs can get a little lengthy but everything is easily comparable. She even followed up with me a few days after I came back from vacation. I really appreciated that. Not only in this profession but wherever you're providing a service, attention to details is what truly sets you apart from the rest. I am not sure how virtuoso works in terms of can each agent book whatever you need or only specific agents can book for certain geographic areas. Overall I would highly recommend her and will be using her services in the future.

Elizabeth was a real pleasure to work with. I found her on a virtuoso web site and called. We’ve never met but I really was lucky because I must have had her check about 10-15 locations and each time she got back to me she was as patient and pleasant as the time before. She’s a real find!!!

Elizabeth was great to work with. Always extremely responsive and helpful. Lots of great local recommendations and advice. We made lots of changes along the way and she worked with us well through all of them. We had some administrative issues with the hotel and Elizabeth handled everything for us so that we could continue to enjoy our vacation rather than dealing with them

Working with Elizabeth was a success on all fronts. She was clearly invested in making our trip as interesting as possible without taking over the itinerary. She listened to our collective input and crafted an array of disparate information into a trip that was somehow diverse, active, and relaxing all at the same time. She is very adept at picking up the vibe of a group and turning that into a fantastic set of memories. Great communication, and highly recommended!

Elizabeth helped us plan a recent family trip. Not only was she responsive and professional in our interactions, but she also was knowledgeable, offered lots of good advice and travel tips, and helped us get a great rate at our hotel. All in all, it was a wonderful experience working with her!

One of my friends recommended Elizabeth to me after she and her boyfriend had taken a trip with Elizabeth's help. My husband and I loved our friend's trip so much that we had to (almost!) replicate. Elizabeth worked with us every step of the way in order to tailor our 2-week trip to our liking. She had suggestions for everything (scheduling, restaurants, tours, etc.). She even made edits to our trip after other visitors had reporting not liking a particular tour, which we really appreciated. Lastly, she threw in a little surprise for us to ensure our trip was amazing and everything we hoped for. Thanks Elizabeth - we look forward to working with you again soon!

Elizabeth is an attentive and creative advisor. She listens well to understand exactly what your expectations and dreams are for your trip and offers well-researched options in your price range. For me that meant keeping things flexible, affordable, comfortable AND memorable. (A tough combination!) Yes she is well-informed and organized. Yes, she is patient. Yes she is a good communicator. But most importantly, Elizabeth is enthusiastic. She makes planning a trip an exciting and enjoyable part of the adventure. FYI she is also very calm and helpful if/when countless airline cancellations/delays ( from the airline you booked before consulting with her) throw a monkey wrench into your plans.

Well organized and kept us extremely well informed. Always available, and no surprises either.

We took an amazing, much needed five days at the Rosewood Mayakoba in April 2017. This place exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Maybe it's because of the 2 kids under 2 that we left at home, but moreso I think it was our confidence that Elizabeth wouldn't steer us wrong. Oh, and once there - all the rooms are spacious and face either the lagoons or the beach, there is nature all around you, there is a "butler" with app to access him/her - out of soap? ask. out of chardonnay? ask. need a dinner reservation or an excursion last minute? just ask. Beautiful beach club with pool, dining and drinks - and nice clientele - a mix of families and adults only. Had dinner one night at the Banyan Tree. And played some golf at El Chameleon. Our family has worked with Elizabeth for at least 10 years on many trips - including a trip of a lifetime with my Dad to Africa. She does the research, knows her stuff, thinks of all the details - and you couldn't be in better travel hands!

We've done 4 trips now with Elizabeth and every one has been amazing. I am already planning my next trip with her. We have also recommended Elizabeth to several of our friends and work colleagues who now also use her services. We wouldn't plan a major vacation without her!

Elizabeth listens to what you want and has advice too. She always double checks plans are set and follows up to make sure goes well.

Elizabeth was efficient, offered excellent choices of tours for my destination at the level of accommodations I was considering, and offered clear explanations about international travel when there were additional details to attend to, i.e. visas, transports. She was thorough in her research, even contacting local representatives to find a venue for some charitable donations we wanted to make upon arrival. I was extremely satisfied with my travel experience thanks to Elizabeth. I have planned with her another trip for this year!

Working with Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful. Elizabeth helped us decide on our location for honeymoon and pick the perfect place to stay within our budget. Elizabeth kept us in the know of what updates was going on within our hotel while we would be staying there and made sure we had the best accommodations possible. Elizabeth also recommended as snorkel excursion that was our favorite part of our whole honeymoon!! It was such a breeze booking our honeymoon all because of Elizabeth.

Elizabeth did an extraordinary job at planning a week trip to Iceland that was amazing. We enjoyed every minute of each day and felt like we saw all of the most interesting places.

Elizabeth always does a great job. She is responsive, helpful, and really takes the time to understand what we are looking for. She's also very understanding when plans need to change and has the network necessary to find something compelling for anyone! Will definitely use her services again!

She totally understood what I wanted and made it happen.

Elizabeth has planned several trips for my family and each one has been better than the last! She outdoes herself every time and is a joy to work with!

Elizabeth is a top notch professional-I love working with her and have worked with her on a wide range of trips over the past decade or more. Elizabeth helps you plan the trip, identifies great places to stay that meet youe budget and other requirements, keeps you informed about upcoming deadlines and provides helpful information throughout the process. She is super accessible before during and after the trip and is always available via email and phone to help if any glitches arise in your travel, including hotel overcharges, room mixups, and travel delays due to weather). One could not ask for a more helpful, informed, professional and responsive travel consultant; Elizabeth is a rare gem and i recommend her to all of my friends.

Elizabeth had been our go-to travel agent for almost 13 years now. She has repeatedly found us places that perfectly matched our means and our preferences as both have changed over time. She first sent us to Carlisle Bay Antigua in 2010, and we were concerned by some of the online reviews we saw. She did the research and persuaded us that this was the right fit. We have been back 5 times now and cannot imagine going anywhere else in Antigua. Every time we go back, Elizabeth ensures we get the best price and all of the little extra benefits possible. She looks out for us to make sure all of the details are seen to in a timely fashion. A perfect travel professional!

As usual, the trip Elizabeth planned for us was the best. Very happy and will continue to use and recommend her to all my friends.

Elizabeth helped my family plan our recent trip to Norway, and it was truly our best trip ever! Elizabeth was fantastic—knowledgeable, professional, accommodating, and enjoyable to work with. The arrangements she made for us went flawlessly, and were exactly what our family needed and wanted. She gave great advice, and she also listened to our input, helping us put together a trip we will never forget. Her service didn’t end once the arrangements were complete—she followed through to make sure each detail came together, making the trip extra special. We highly recommend her!

We have worked with Elizabeth several times in planning and booking travel and it is always a pleasure. Sometimes you just need more information than a standard internet search will generate and Elizabeth was always there to provide knowledgeable advice and suggestions tailored to our needs. Patient and thoughtful with all questions and prompt with all responses!

Elizabeth did an excellent job coordinating our hotels, tours and transportation for our Italy trip. She was very responsive to our requests, handled our changes with great patience and flexibility and made excellent recommendations for our trip. We were very pleased with the choice of hotels, both in quality and locations in the locations we visited in Venice, Rome, Florence, Sorrento and Bologna. We recommend her services to others!!

Elizabeth was great to work with. She helped to plan My whole trip and it was executed flawlessly. I went to 7 different places over 10 days with no problems. Her tour suggestions were spot on! I will hopefully get to work with here again!

Elizabeth made planning our honeymoon SO easy and painless. She was patient with me when I was indecisive. She always respected our budget and offered us multiple options within our price range. When there was a minor hiccup at one of our hotels she handled it so quickly and got us an amazing upgrade. Truly, our honeymoon would not have been as great if Elizabeth had not helped us! I have already recommended virtuoso to my other honeymooning friends.

Always a pleasure whether we need a ton of help or just the basics. Traveling under the Virtuoso flag has meaningful benefits and gives us a sense of confidence in the unlikely event that something doesn’t go according to our expectations. Thank you Elizabeth!

Another successful trip by Elizabeth - we have lost count of how many times she has helped us with our usual last-minute trips. This was no different - last minute and not a detail was missed!

We went to Half Moon in April and Elizabeth arranged accommodations and transfers and was available for anything else if we needed it. We loved this place and are already working on our calendar to find the right time to go back in 2020! Thank you Elizabeth!
