Elaine was excellent at helping me book my trip! She shared a variety of options based on what I needed and wanted. Not only that, though, she was extremely detail oriented! She made sure to find something that was close to transportation, restaurants, and close enough to the city center that we could walk to things but also took into consideration the prices of the area. I will absolutely be using Elaine again for my travel booking needs!

My friend and I just returned from our summer trip to Britain and Ireland, and it was the trip of a lifetime! Our travel agent, Elaine Brackin, was absolutely fantastic. From our first call, she took the time to understand our varied interests and budget. She directed us to a tour that balanced adventure and relaxation perfectly and covered all of the countries and sights we wanted to see. All of our flights, transfers, insurance, and accommodations were perfectly organized, leaving us with zero stress. The tour and hotels she recommended were exactly what we were looking for. Elaine even checked in with us during our trip to make sure everything was running smoothly, which was so thoughtful. We couldn't have done it without her expertise, and we are already planning our next vacation with her. Highly, highly recommend!

We worked with our travel agent, Elaine, for a full year to customize the perfect Mediterranean cruise, and her dedication and expertise were evident in every detail of our trip. Visiting Greece, Turkey, and Egypt was a dream, and Elaine made the entire process seamless. Her greatest contribution was her invaluable advice in selecting our cabin. She listened to what was important to us and found the perfect stateroom: it had a beautiful balcony, a spacious layout, and a large bathroom. Thanks to her, we had more storage space than we knew what to do with, which made our stay incredibly comfortable and clutter-free. Elaine's patience, knowledge, and commitment to creating a personalized experience are unmatched. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to plan a trip of a lifetime.

Booking our stay at the Conrad Hotel Istanbul through Elaine Brackin at Fora Travel made our anniversary getaway truly unforgettable. Elaine went above and beyond, arranging VIP perks that elevated our experience to a whole new level. From the moment we arrived, everything was flawlessly planned and prepared, making the booking process incredibly smooth and stress-free. Knowing it was our anniversary, Elaine surprised us with thoughtful touches—a bottle of champagne, a beautifully presented cake, and a fresh fruit plate waiting for us in the room. We were delighted to find she'd also arranged a free upgrade from a standard room to the Executive Bosphorus Suite, an incredible surprise that added so much comfort and luxury to our stay. Waking up to breathtaking Bosphorus views is something I'll remember for years to come, and it's all thanks to Elaine's expertise and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend booking through Elaine Brackin at Fora Travel. Her thoughtful planning and added perks made our stay truly memorable.

I recently sailed on Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady from Portsmouth to Iceland, and I booked my trip through Elaine, a Fora travel agent. From start to finish, she made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Elaine was incredibly kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. As it was my very first cruise, I had lots of questions, and she patiently guided me through every step. Thanks to her, I had priority check-in, which made boarding smooth and effortless. She also shared so many helpful tips, both for the cruise itself and for traveling in Iceland, which really enhanced my experience. Her attention to detail and personal touch made me feel well taken care of, and I felt so much more confident going into my first cruise knowing she had prepared me so well. I couldn't have asked for a better travel advisor, and I'll definitely be booking with Elaine again for future adventures. Highly recommend her to anyone planning a cruise or any other trip!

Our stay at the Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah this August was nothing short of magical, and it was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. My agent, Elaine, researched and chose the hotel, and she could not have made a better choice. She handled all the arrangements, and the hotel staff honored every request perfectly.

Elaine is nothing short of amazing! When planning our post-wedding stay, she listened to everything we were looking for and found us the perfect spot. Her recommendation of VEA Newport Beach was absolutely spot on, offering the convenience of being close to Disneyland while still feeling like a luxurious getaway. Elaine's thoughtfulness and expertise made our experience stress-free and magical. She's the best travel advisor we've worked with, and we can't wait to plan more trips with her help.

Our romantic trip to Lisbon was so fabulous thanks to Elaine's amazing support. We got a room update with a view over the Tejo! It was such a good experience so we are already planning our next trip to China with her.

Elaine's details made our stay unforgettable. And a lifelong impression of this trip. My partner was more than moved with her attention to details and made our celebration very special. Thank you Elaine.

We are anxious travelers because we have young kids. Elaine filled us in on every single detail we were concerned about, and followed up frequently before the trip. Truly the difference of having an enjoyable vacation vs. not was booking with Elaine!

Elaine is a spectacular guide for her city. She's warm and funny and very knowledgable. She got our personalities and tailored each thing to us, from the best hotel recommendations to dinner ideas. She offered quick responses to questions. She got us excellent rates, and also was a perfect online navigator for planning our days out pre-trip. And, when the earthquake happened a few days before, she was ready with up-to-date information and helpful adjusting of our plans. Would highly recommend her to anyone headed to Türkiye.
