Inspired Vacations
6 years ago
For our 20th wedding anniversary, we wanted to do something special for a trip. Our first great decision was to go to Spain in July. Our second great decision was to have Tracy at Inspired Vacations make the arrangements for us. Certain main highlights were a must, but otherwise, we wanted to be able to find our way through Spain ourselves. Tracy talked with us to get a sense of what was important to us and then crafted an itinerary for us. It started with the bulls and bullfights of Pamplona and ended with the beauty and vibrancy of Barcelona – and all along the way, amazing adventures and hidden gems, from the Rioja wine region, to the grandeur of Madrid, to the wonder of Toledo and its strands of history spanning centuries, and others besides! She made sure that our travels were never too lengthy, always included fascinating stops, and gave us deliberate and relaxing pauses (almost as though she had read our minds in advance) so that we could savour certain experiences and places; to me, I’ll always remember not only the stark beauty of medieval Alarcón but also the chance it gave us to recharge (do go ahead and Google Alarcón, and tell me that you don’t want to see that!) Our anniversary trip gave us memories that we will always treasure. We highly recommend Spain as a tourist destination because it is rich with history and traditions, infused with passion and graced with incredible beauty. Tracy definitely helped us get the most out of our trip, and we can’t thank her enough. I often tell people about our trip to Spain, and I always make sure to tell them that if they’re thinking of booking a trip, they should consider using Tracy at Inspired Vacations. The reality is that anyone with a computer and a credit card can book travel arrangements, but not everyone can book a travel experience. At the end of the day – even though Tracy’s recommendations and arrangements were always spot-on – the best part of having Tracy book the trip was that we never had to worry about or waste time deciding where we needed to be or what we were going to be doing; instead, we were able to enjoy our time together in celebration of our anniversary. Thanks, Tracy!

Thank you to Inspired Vacations for making all the arrangements for our Viking River Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest; as well as the four days in Prague. All our arrangements: flights, hotels, transportation, as well as the 15 day cruise on the Viking ship was a 12 out of 10!! For those who have not experienced a river cruise, this is definitely one to put on the "bucket list!" Thanks again Tracy for helping to make our trip PERFECT!

We have had the pleasure of taking two vacations sourced and arranged for us by Tracy Hamilton. Both times, we gave her our budget, and our optimal destinations - and she came back with great options to match our criteria. Both destinations were fantastic!! I would highly recommend using Inspired Vacations for your next fantastic getaway.

My husband and I recently were in San Francisco and Sonoma. The trip was absolutely fantastic! The best part was that we left the planning to Dana. We told her what we were interested in and she booked flights, hotel rooms in both San Francisco and Sonoma and shuttles--SF airport to hotel, hotel to Sonoma and Sonoma back to SF airport. We are not sure the trip would have happened without Dana's work so a big "thank you"!! There was so much to see and do in San Francisco--Pier 30, Golden Gate, Alcatraz, Ferry Bldg., double decker bus that took us all over and the cable cars. Endless things to see and do. Sonoma was wonderful and a little more relaxing. Everything within walking distance, 30+ wine tasting facilities in Sonoma itself and of course, trolleys to take one to wineries away from Sonoma. September was a wonderful time to go--weather was beautiful. Amazing trip and can't wait to go back!!

A personal and heartfelt thank you for the intricate planning of our vacation to Europe! Originally, the plan was simply to attend a wedding in Switzerland - but when you go that far, you might as well add to the trip - simply too far for just a weekend. So, ideas surfaced, too many to count. How to go about this without worry, Inspired Vacations - no doubt. Six airplanes, five trains, hotel accommodations, tours and five countries - Tracy's planning was without flaw. Her attention to detail and clarity was above and beyond and we were able to travel without concern about the where and when. Also, one more note, thank you for the nice touch on the cruise ship - complimentary wine and chocolate covered strawberries...this is not standard fare, especially as a first time passenger on a particular cruise line. Thank you for that as well. Inspired Vacations, with their touch, your vacation will be ideal.
