Italy and Croatia cruise tour
We took a 2 week cruise tour on Celebrity Cruise Lines earlier this year. Bahar was so helpful with all the details both large and small. Helping us with the transfers especially in Rome really made the arrival seamless! I would definitely recommend Bahar for all your travel destinations! It was comfortable to know that she would assist us during our vacation travel if needed.

Bahar knows her stuff
I can’t say enough good things about Bahar. She planned my Maldives trip and it was truly unforgettable. She booked me at Soneva Jani, Soneva Fushi, and Soneva Secret, and she completely understood the experiences I wanted to have. She didn’t just book “a resort”—she built a trip. Because of her, I got to experience multiple parts of the Maldives (with discounted pricing) and it ended up being so much more than I expected.
She balanced the trip perfectly: elevated, luxury experiences—but also an earthy, beachy vibe that made it feel real and peaceful. I was nervous about traveling that far from Los Angeles, but she booked me in a spacious first-class seat that made the journey comfortable, and it honestly made the 38 hours feel so much easier.
I’m so appreciative of the work she put into this. Thank you, Bahar—you made this one of the best vacations of my life.

Europe was amazing
Bahar is the kind of agent you want in your corner. She planned our Europe trip (Amsterdam ? Barcelona ? Paris ? London) and made it feel completely seamless. I was honestly really nervous about all the moving parts, but she had everything organized so well that we could just enjoy the trip.
When our luggage got lost, I thought the trip was about to get stressful—but Bahar had recommended travel insurance and it ended up saving us. It covered so much of what we needed to buy right away, and I was genuinely relieved that I listened to her.
The hotels were incredible, her recommendations were spot-on, and she even warned us away from the overly touristy places so we didn’t waste time. My family had the greatest time and keeps asking to go back. Bahar took care of everything and handled every issue like a pro. Can’t wait to book with her again.

best wedding vacation every
If you want a travel agent who actually cares like family, book Bahar. Our Maldives wedding vacation was the trip of a lifetime, and she made it happen. The first room we had was just okay, but Bahar handled it immediately and got us upgraded with no charge. The upgraded stay was where we had our wedding—on a sandbar in the middle of the ocean. Unreal.
She was available 24/7, constantly checking on us, making sure every detail was right, and working behind the scenes the entire time. She didn’t stop until we were back home. 11/10. I’d recommend her to anyone going to the Maldives—she’s knowledgeable, connected, and genuinely dedicated.
