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!

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!
Lauren C. travel to Rome
Elaine recommended this place because she was there on her honeymoon. And she was right on with her description of this beautiful place.
Arturo V. travel to Japan
Working with Elaine was one of the best parts of planning this trip. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. Every question was answered quickly, every detail was handled professionally, and I always felt confident that everything was taken care of. Travel can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when coordinating reservations, schedules, and logistics, but Elaine made the entire process simple and stress-free. She offered helpful recommendations, communicated clearly, and made sure we had everything we needed before departure. What impressed me most was her attention to detail and genuine commitment to making sure our vacation went smoothly. Because of her planning and guidance, we were able to focus on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about the details. I would gladly work with Elaine again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a travel advisor who is organized, knowledgeable, and truly invested in creating a great travel experience.

Elaine made booking incredibly easy and straightforward. She secured perks we hadn't received on past voyages like priority boarding making embarking a breeze (outside the Miami traffic!!!). She has a great sense of humour and is always willing to help and find exactly what you're after. We'd never have eaten some great food in Miami if it weren't for 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.
Arturo V. travel to Colombia
Elaine was a fantastic travel consultant! We couldn't have done it without her. From our first phone call with her in May until the day we returned home, she was attentive to our needs and shared in our excitement for this adventure every step of the way. We just returned from a 17-day journey through England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, and Elaine's expertise in European travel made all the difference. She provided detailed information about various tour options and assisted us with pre-tour accommodations, travel insurance, and airport transfers. Elaine handled all of our bookings and provided a convenient link through Fora's website, which included our confirmations, flight details, insurance information, transfer schedules, and daily tour itinerary. It was wonderful having everything in one easily accessible place — and even better that we could share the link with friends and family so they could follow along with our travels. Everything went smoothly thanks to Elaine's guidance, professionalism, and attention to detail. We're so grateful for her help in making this a truly memorable and worry-free experience! We can't wait to book another vacation and highly recommend Elaine for any and all travel needs!

Austin B. travel by cruise
Elaine Brackin was the best part of our cruise. She made sure we had every need met with complete professionalism and promptness. Elaine emailed us for several days leading up to the trip making sure we were prepared with every detail. Once on the cruise we still would get messages making sure our day trips were communicated and our questions answered. I would not have taken this cruise without the great help of Elaine.
Lance W. travel by cruise
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.

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!
Kalie B. travel by cruise
Elaine is absolute top notch. Any time I needed a change or clarification for a trip she was more than on top of it. Sat on hold more hours that I could have stood in order to make things perfect for our trip. She is my go-to goddess for travel.

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.

Lance W. travel to Paris
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!

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.

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.

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.

Traveling can be so stressful and having a knowledgeable and kind advisor made a world of difference. Thank you, Elaine!
Elizabeth B. travel to New York City
I specifically requested Elaine book this hotel for me due to its location. She then provided a couple other options before doing so, which she thought might work well for me. I should have considered one of them. I think she knows better than me what I would like due to her experience. I'll consider her options more carefully next time should I decide to choose a hotel myself.
Brian O. travel to London
Elaine is amazing agent! She was very helpful and did for us room upgrade, spend her time to email to the hotel. I will work with Elaine in future travels for sure!

Brian O. travel to Paris
Elaine Brackin booked all of my hotels during my stay in Europe and did an outstanding job. She inquired as to what I was looking for and what my plans were in each city. And with that information, Elaine was able to provide me with different options, which was what I requested. Elaine also kept me apprised of all the information needed for each hotel prior to my arrival. On a couple of occasions, I requested last minute hotels only within a few hours prior to my arrival and Elaine seamlessly arranged for my stay. I highly recommend Elaine Brackin and I will absolutely use her for future trips.
