No worry travel

Traveling on both sides of Thanksgiving could have been a nightmare. It wasn't because of well selected flights and departure times. I didn't swear at TSA once! Excellent planning.

Expert knowledge with outstanding follow up 

Denise planned a Backroads biking trip starting in Barcelona We rode for 5 days in the Pyrenees ending at an incredible inn off the Costa Brava. All the accommodations were superb. She did a great job making this trip both affordable and memorable. Would not think of taking another trip without her assistance. Would certainly recommend Denise. 

Dalmatian Coast Biking

Denise gets adventure travel! Our Croatian bike trip could not have been more terrific. All the details were thought of up and came off without a hitch. Can’t wait to get traveling again. Also, her planning for Florence was wonderful. Really want to go back.

No detail left out

Outstanding! She makes travel as easy as it can be. Every detail is attended to. The suggestions for shore excursions were bang on for us. In addition she was the Virtuoso host. In that role she was really great. She went the extra mile by making sure we knew virtually all our fellow Virtuoso travelers. She had dinner with almost everyone and was very visible on the ship.

Fantastic Fashion Week in NYC

Denise is always spot on in her recommendations. Every hotel she has ever booked me into around the globe has been excellent. Her care to detail from making sure my room preferences are met to texting and/or emailing me just prior to my trip to make sure I am on top of all the details. I have recommended her to many and without exception everyone has thanked me for that recommendation.

Practically Perfect in Every Way

Denise helped us plan an incredible trip to Europe. It was my first time going overseas, and I am so grateful she had everything all planned out and taken care of for us! We were fully prepared, and owe that all to Denise! She made sure we knew local customs, currencies, and must-sees in each city we visited. She was also readily available not just in the weeks leading up to our travel, but during as well. She is dependable, friendly, extremely well-organized, and comprehensive. We will absolutely continue to book all of our vacations through Passionate Pursuits Travel!

Great European Trip!

Denise is the best. She planned a 2-week European trip between Spain and Italy for us. One of the highlights of the trip was surely our stay in Tuscany at Castello del Nero, a Virtuoso spot. The hospitality and service, amenities, views, food and most definitely the wine are all incredible! Her attention to detail combined with her knowledge made it an unforgettable experience. We cannot thank Denise enough for planning the trip of a lifetime!

Superb, Professional, Expectations Surpassed.

We wanted a two week cruise in the Caribbean with variety and exciting destinations. We did not want to worry about the many complex details to make this happen, such as travel connections, shore excursions, insurance, documents and payment schedules. She handled all of these, involving us only when there were decisions to be made and after she had carefully examined and presented the alternatives. That made it quite easy for us, and allowed us to enjoy the anticipation of a great cruise without any hassle. The trip went off very smoothly, so her planning proved to be excellent in the execution.

Amazing Vacation!

Denise planned our honeymoon for us and we are so happy that we were referred to her by friends. She was incredibly informative and made the planning process very enjoyable. She was always quick to respond and was very patient when we needed time to make decisions. We are looking forward to using Denise's services again. We spent 7 nights at Secrets Royal Beach in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and had the blissful, luxurious week we had envisioned for our honeymoon. We felt very prepared upon landing in Punta Cana and had no issues/confusion during our week. We met some couples who had the "honeymoon package" but nobody had the extensive package that Denise found for us. Her attention to detail helped make an already amazing week, extra special. Thank you Denise!

Comprehensive, knowledgeable, and prompt

We started planning a trip to Italy 2 years ago and reached out to Denise to help us. We wanted to include an experience in a Tuscan Villa during the vacation. Denise provided expert advice with extensive supportive information including comprehensive reviews and descriptions of hotels and properties. She communicated with us frequently and was always on the ball regarding the important deadlines for decision making, payment, etc. She worked tirelessly on arranging all of our tours and transfers to assure as smooth and hassle free trip as possible. English speaking guides were arranged for all important transfer points and the tours. I will definitely use Denise again for my vacation planning.
