Isabelle Travel Genie - Oakland, California

Pat Oungpasuk

Isabelle helped give us an incredible honeymoon - and honestly the best trip we had to date.

My husband and I wanted to do a 10 day honeymoon trip to the South of France, and while we could have done the research ourselves, the overwhelming amount of information and options in the region had us a bit paralyzed! That's when we reached out to Isabelle, who was not only well-versed in the area, but understood what we were looking for, and tailored her options to our needs. She gave great advice on things to do, how to structure our trip, and saved us a LOT of time researching activities and where to go.

Our trip was the perfect mixture of immersive, relaxed, and fun. We were completely stress-free leading up to the trip and once we were there. Isabelle helped us with a last-minute car rental change and a consequent issue with the rental car (not her fault!). The places she booked us were wonderful, with our stay in Avignon being one of our absolute favorites (and we would've never found on our own)! The excursions we did were honestly SO fun - and ones we might not have picked on our own!

I wholeheartedly recommend Isabelle if you need help planning a multi-day trip and want it to be as stress-free as possible. She saved us so much time and was kind, communicative, and helpful throughout.

Isabelle is a treasure to work with. I was having trouble planning my Italian trip… She was referred to me and did a great job. She chose great hotels, set us up with a great driver service, and found us some great restaurants and experiences. I would recommend her and her company extremely high. She’s very quick to respond, whether it’s late in the evening or early in the morning. She has a FirstClass job and doesn’t leave anything undone. Bravo! Can’t wait to go again! Thank you, Isabelle!!

This is the second time I have used Isabelle's services. This time she helped organize my trip to Southeast Asia, suggesting routing, hotels and activities. Isabelle is always prompt and her suggestions/recommendations are always helpful. She is a delight to work with and I will definitely use her services again.

Isabelle was amazing and planned our dream trip to Italy for our 10th anniversary. Every single detail was planned and executed to perfection, we loved our accomodations, drivers and tour guides and we had absolutely zero complications abroad. 10/10 will use again for our next big vacation!

Our recent Paris vacation was our second trip arranged by Isabelle. We give Isabelle our highest recommendation. She takes care of all the details seamlessly. Her hotel arrangements have been ideal, well located, and within our requested budget. Her suggestions of places to go and things to see took us places we would not have seen on our own, becoming highlights of our vacations. There is no reason to try to make such arrangements by yourself. Relieve your stress and let Isabelle take care of the planning.

My wife and I and our two friends planned to visit Ireland and contacted Isabelle about working out the itinerary. We knew very little about where to go and what to do, only that we wanted to stay in different locations in the country. After asking us some very good questions about what types of things we liked to do, Isabelle did all the research, provided recommendations, and made all the reservations for the four of us. As a result, our trip was wonderful and hassle-free! All of her recommedations were spot-on and it was a trip for us to treasure forever. Thank you so much Isabelle!

I highly recommend Isabell, because she's delightful to work with, very knowledgeable, and quick to respond. When I couldn't find accommodations in Bath, England in 2022, a friend recommended Isabelle. I'm thrilled she did. Isabelle rapidly found us three lodgings in Bath and we chose the one with a full breakfast and four poster canape bed. We came down with Omicron Covid while in Bath. Fortunately, Isabelle suggested we get travel insurance that covered Covid before we left the U.S. She helped set it up for us. We got all our expenses (for flights, hotels, etc.) reimbursed. While we were recovering Isabelle advised us what we would need for proof to insurance company.
Isabelle is very well informed and likes to share what she knows.
I highly recommend her as the top travel agent.

Isabelle was fantastic! She made our trip seamless and I happily recommend her to anyone looking for a truly stress free trip. She took care of all the details and we just showed up at the airport fully prepared with a custom itinerary that fit the needs of our entire family. Our trip was so relaxing because of all her work.
She saved us hours of research with her experience. We will use her again!
