We just got back from an unforgettable two week family cruise through Europe and the Mediterranean, and we truly could not have done it without Arielle. This was our first cruise, our first trip to Europe, and it was all planned on short notice. Arielle was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. She answered every question quickly, no matter how small, and made us feel completely supported the whole way through. She stayed ahead of every detail, helped us choose the right cruise, planned hotels, excursions, and made sure everything before, during, and after the trip went smoothly. She even found us a better price than anything we saw online. We cannot recommend her enough.We just got back from an unforgettable two week family cruise through Europe and the Mediterranean, and we truly could not have done it without Arielle.

I needed help planning out Hawai'i trip. I had tickets to fly but no idea what to do. I reached out in a moms group for a travel planner to help me out. Arielle responded and reached out to me. She helped find fun things to do in Oahu and the bug Island of Hawaii. My kids and husband liked the Jurassic park tour in Oahu that she found. We did a day trip to the North Shore ending at Sunset beach following suggested places to stop on the way. She helped plan out a perfect plan for the big island and we spent half the time in Hilo and half in Kona. She picked amazing hotels for us and handled the rental car details. All we had to do was show up and show our ID's and cards. Each day she reached out to text us the plan for the next day as reminders. We stopped by nearly all the suggested places. I wanted to see the volcanos and the top of Mauna Kea. She helped us find the perfect tours. Our volcano park tour got cancelled at the last minute and she helped us work out a plan to continue the tour directly with the guide after it fell through with Viator. Highlights: coffee farm in Kona, seahorse farm in Kona, sunsets, trip to top of Mauna Kea, day trip to Volcano National Park, trip to North shore on Oahu, Jurassic tour, outrigger hotel, personalized itineraries created by Arielle, attentiveness to my requests, and her great personality.I needed help planning out Hawai'i trip.

We just got back from our Japan/Tokyo- Korea/Seoul trip which Arielle helped us plan. We had a great time without any problems She set up the hotels and the tours. We did 3 custom private tours which were a little more expensive but we got to see and do so much more in the places we visited, plus we had knowledgeable guides that could translate for us as well. We also had Arielle book all are transportation once we arrived to Tokyo and Korea. She coordinated and communicated everything for us and made sure that all the tour guides and transportation and hotel reservations were correct. She also gave us daily updates on what was on our itinerary which made our trip so much easier. The location of the hotels were great too, close to everything stores, subways, bus and restaurants.

The Honeymoon of Our Dreams – All Thanks to Our Incredible Travel Agent!I don’t even know where to begin — our two week honeymoon through Scotland, Denmark, and Sweden was nothing short of magical, and it’s all thanks to our amazing travel agent, Arielle Kurtze.
From the very first conversation, she took the time to truly understand what we wanted: a romantic adventure, full of charm, culture, and unforgettable moments. And that’s exactly what she delivered — and then some! Every detail, from the accommodations to the seamless transfers, unique local experiences, and special little surprises along the way, felt so personalized and thoughtful.
We wandered the mystical Castles of Scotland, sipped coffee on charming cobblestone streets in Copenhagen, and watched the sun set over Stockholm’s city views — and every step of the way, we felt cared for, seen, and stress-free. That peace of mind is priceless, especially during such a special time in our lives.
If you're dreaming of an unforgettable trip, whether it’s a honeymoon, a family getaway, or a once in a lifetime solo journey. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Arielle. She doesn’t just book trips. She creates experiences that leave lasting memories. We’ll forever be grateful to her for helping us start our married life in such a beautiful way.

Arielle was a good listener and provided many options as she worked to build our wonderful 2 week Anniversary trip to Italy. We started at a wedding near Monteriggioni. The wine tasting in San Gimignano fun. In Florence, Venice and Rome we visited the Jewish Ghetto and synagogues. We enjoyed the pizza making class and our visit to the Academy Gallery. Venice was our favorite and that is where we celebrated our 46th. The train was fun, the water bus and water taxi rides were great, but the gondola ride is a must! During planning and then throughout our trip, Arielle was available with daily reminders, What’sApp communication and driver and guide contact information. She is planning our next trip. I’m sure it will be wonderful.Arielle was a good listener and provided many options as she worked to build our wonderful 2 week Anniversary trip to Italy. We started at a wedding near Monteriggioni.

We travelled on the Princess Discovery 7 day LA/Mexican Riviera. We had an amazing time! Our staterooms were located on deck 17. These rooms were located at the level which definitely made navigating from our stateroom to the various attractions, bars and amenities with ease. I loved that our entry doors opened up to the enclosed hallway viewing the upper deck pool and bar. It felt like our own personal space.I don’t believe we could ever stay in any of the enclosed decks for future cruises. Princess strives for top notch service and attractions. We didn’t want our trip to end. Arielle, our cruise specialist made booking so easy and provided the most attentive and supportive assistance from the date of initial booking, and thereafter where we fine tuned other details as we approached our sail. She was very efficient in providing accommodations for additional members in our group as well. Communication was quick, detailed and thorough! We have booked with Arielle on our recent cruise plans and definitely and highly recommend her for planning your vacations. Thank you, Arielle! Cheers!

As a certified cruise agent, she truly knows her stuff and did an incredible job setting us up for success.Everything was so seamless the first time that Arielle sent us on our Alaskan cruise with my family, that my in-laws got major FOMO and asked if she could set us up to go back but with their side of the family. Arielle managed my crazy family’s needs flawlessly, keeping everyone well-informed and ensuring we had nothing to worry about.
I cannot recommend Arielle highly enough. Whether we go back to Alaska for a third time or travel anywhere else, she’s my go-to agent for life.

I'm truly grateful for all her help in coordinating the trip. 5/5, would definitely recommend to a friend. :)

I want you to thank you for a most wonderful time on the cruise and all the excursions. For once in my life time ( sounds like a song) I can see fishes and beautiful reefs under the sea with my googles at the Great Barrier Reef, third largest in the world. I think your name Ariel "the little mermaid " blessed it. Food was terrific especially the dinners with almost five star service. I did not use up our special lunch , ice cream and other credits, sitting down for an elegant dinner was perfect for me at the end of the day. Your family is great. Shael was absolutely fun and adorable. You taught him well. He listens and doesn't get up throughout the whole diner with us .I suspect he listened to your instructions. He has many good ideas how he wants to try diff things. Definitely a curious mind for a little boy . That's a good sign. Also, I love your musical instinct playing the steel drums. I can tell You had musical background. You are very efficient and resourceful. I love my room. Wow!

We just came back from a week long Caribbean cruise with 4 different families that Arielle helped us book. She did a great job helping us choose the right cruise line, cruise itinerary and excursions. We wanted a cabin that could comfortably accommodate 2 adults and 2 teenagers and Arielle helped us selected a balcony cabin that was slightly bigger than average and had a great set up. We felt like we had plenty of room.My in-laws decided less than 3 weeks before the cruise to join us and she was able to help them secure the last open cabin on the ship the same day they called her.
Arielle also patiently helped the two sets of grandparents navigate the Princess app, book specialty dining and excursions.
After the trip, everyone agreed we wanted to do it again. This is the third cruise that Arielle has helped me book and she has been incredible every time. I highly recommend working with Arielle if you are looking for someone who will completely take care of you and respond quickly to any requests. She really cares about her clients.

From the first time we got in touch with Arielle, she asked us lots of questions about the specifics of what we were looking for, and then enthusiastically helped us figure out where we should go. She made numerous suggestions of resorts in multiple countries, one of which ended up being the place (El Dorado Seaside Suites near Cancun) that we chose (a terrific choice, by the way). She answered all our questions, even when we basically needed instant responses. She even helped us with a flight check-in issue on the same day that she had a big family celebration of her own. She was friendly, responsive, and helped us get the most out of our trip.From the first time we got in touch with Arielle, she asked us lots of questions about the specifics of what we were looking for, and then enthusiastically helped us figure out where we should go.

TL;DD. Great cruise at the best price! It's been a long time since I used a travel agent. I mean, really, in this day and age I have access to all the info and pricing they do, right? I do my own respect and pricing, damn it! So I priced. Costco won of course. Then on a whim I decided to call Arielle. In full disclosure, I've known Arielle for 12 years now. Our kids came up through school together... so I did know this woman has superpowers. Short story short, Arielle saved me a couple hundred dollars! (I also got reminders about deadlines, which was good). I won't be doing the legwork for my next cruise. Thanks Super A And thanks in advance for the next one.TL;DD. Great cruise at the best price!

Just returned from my second Mexican Riviera cruise on the Carnival Panorama and I'm still not over what an amazing value of a vacation this is! Living in AZ, the cost of flying to FL to get on a cruise to the Caribbean is almost prohibitive these days, but thankfully Carnival has this big beautiful NEW ship right out of LA. Carnival knows how to bring the FUN, and these ports have so much to do, there's no risk of getting bored going on the same route over and over.Even as someone who loves to do her own research and planning, I've seen immense value from having someone like Arielle to handle all the little details of booking, and to help find discount codes on excursions I might want to do that aren't through Carnival. I have to admit, before working with her, I used to think travel agents were becoming obsolete in the age of the Internet, but not anymore!

I was recently in Cancun, Mexico, with my family on vacation and had a great experience with Arielle. Booking the entire package through her was easy and made our lives much easier. Thank you for giving us tips and guidance before we left on what to bring; that was very helpful! The trip was terrific. We had lots of great memories made. All the arrangements (flights, resort, minivan transfers from the airport to the resort, and resort to the airport) went as planned. You did an AMAZING job on this, Arielle, and I have already told people about you and your help. We will work together again in the near future!

Arielle made our honeymoon trip a dream come true. My biggest fear when planning a large trip is that I will miss a crucial detail or that somehow my resort won't have my reservation. By allowing Arielle to plan our trip, all of those fears went away. I had full confidence that she was creating a beautiful trip for us with a seamless travel itinerary. That is exactly what she did. Our flight schedule was perfect, the resort she recommended was unbelievable, and having her by our side as a resource while we were away gave us so much comfort. I messaged her at the most random hours of the night and even so her response time was almost immediate. We plan to use Arielle for any trips in the future!"Arielle made our honeymoon trip a dream come true.

I am such a vacation planner that it is exhausting! No joke, by the time the trip arrives, I have total burn out. Not this time!! Arielle did EVERYTHING that was needed for us to have the most amazingly memorable trip. She even bore with us as we had to reschedule due to getting sick. She was on the phone within minutes of hearing that we were sick and moved mountains to get everything rescheduled. Planning a family trip for 20+ people with 6 individual families is something that I would NEVER have taken on, but Arielle happily did so. The memories that were made will never be forgotten. I am so appreciative of Arielle and will most certainly be using her services again.I am such a vacation planner that it is exhausting! No joke, by the time the trip arrives, I have total burn out.

I wanted to send you a review of how our cruise went and to thank you for your help in getting our entire group setup.We planned this cruise with you in September of 2021 not knowing exactly what the COVID situation would look like for our trip that was completed in September of 2022. Throughout the entire booking process, you were diligent and on top of everything we could have asked for. Your responsiveness and attention to detail was way above and beyond. Handling a group of 6 families that included more then 20 people all with different questions and requests is a monumental task but you handles it with professionalism. The trip ended up being everything we could have hoped for and it was all because of your attention to detail and all your efforts.
We cant wait to plan the next trip with you and enjoy our next family vacation!
With gratitude,
Tamir Lahav

My husband and I are so so lucky we found Arielle! First off, she is so kind and truly cares about what matters to you and whoever you plan on traveling with when it comes to your vacation. We booked our honeymoon with her, and she made sure that our budget, needs, and wants were heard from the beginning to the end. She responded so promptly and within a week after our initial video call she had two great resort options for us to stay within our budget. We had spoken to other travel planners who made us feel like our budget would not get us a great resort for our honeymoon, but she proved that wrong. We also had to completely change our dates to a month early for our trip just a few months before and she did it effortlessly and with little change in price for the trip. She also set up transfers to and from the airport and all of our excursions; she also recommended the best things to do in Cancun as we had no clue what were the best places to see and things to do. She checked in frequently during our stay to make sure everything went smoothly! We loved our resort and did not break the bank to have a great honeymoon as we had feared. Arielle is your woman if you want an awesome, knowledgeable, dedicated and prompt travel planner. Thank you Arielle for helping us turn a daunting task of planning our honeymoon into something so effortless, fun, and simple!My husband and I are so so lucky we found Arielle!

She even kept checking the airlines for a direct flight that was closer to our home…and found one! It was really great being able to send her a message right before I lost WiFi coverage and had her plan an excursion while we got to play at the beach. I felt like I was over-using Arielle’s services but she kept telling me that that’s what she was there for.

Arielle is a true professional. When we needed to plan a trip to Oahu with a set list of requirements, Arielle was there to the rescue. She quickly put together an itinerary that accommodated our family of three, booked us in a resort with beautiful ocean views of Oahu, and did it all within our budget, in the midst of a pandemic, and when no one could rent cars. Since this was our first airline flight since before the pandemic, Arielle guided us through the process, making sure we met all the requirements to have a safe, relaxing, and memorable vacation. The best part is how conscientious and detail oriented she is through it all. Thanks Arielle!Arielle is a true professional.

Dear Arielle,Thank you for booking a wonderful tour for us of Jewish Melbourne and a room at the Melbourne Westin. The Westin on Collins was in the heart of the city where we were able to walk to Victoria's Market, the many shops, and cafes. Our room was spacious and luxurious and we enjoyed their Sunday buffet brunch with an array of selections. The service there was excellent, and everyone at the hotel was friendly and helpful.
Our tour guide, Shelley Cohney, went beyond the call of duty to give us a broad tour of not only Jewish Melbourne, but Melbourne itself. She took us to the Jewish Museum with its many artifacts, a Jewish gift shop, a Jewish bakery where we enjoyed their freshly baked challah, and we had a bite at one of the many Jewish establishments in St. Kilda, a predominantly Jewish neighborhood with a bustling Jewish presence. The tour was more than worth the price we paid. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Melbourne.
Thank you again for your diligence, your promptness, and your follow through. Much appreciated and looking forward to booking our next cruise with you.
