Beverly Hills, California Travel Agent

Curates private and unique leisure travel

Heavenly, A brave soul kayaking in Antarctica 2021

I have been a Travel Professional Advisor for over 30 years and I love my work. My specialties involve curating detailed-oriented personalized travel from the United States to most countries in Europe, Southeast Asia, East Africa, the South Pacific and Antarctica, to name a few. In my opinion, the success of a trip involves a collaborative effort. I love working with clients as part of my team when planning their trip of a lifetime. I listen to their needs and interests as the trip planning evolves, until we reach the ultimate dream vacation. Not only do I love working with diverse client demographics, I also engage with them through different meeting platforms. I invite them to participate in in-person meetings and via zoom, with me and our esteemed suppliers. This engagement allows me to learn more about them and their travel habits. Planning client trips means sharing my passion and showing my sincerest of intentions, that I will help reach their travel goals the best way I can. I achieve success through hard work and building relationships with clients. Making friends is the best part of meeting new clients.

Marie Anne Diamond responded:Thank you for your kind words. I too love working with you because you share the same passion for travel as I do. Our discussions are often intellectual and fun! You are part of a very small sampling of travelers, who can go hours on end with your private guides, walking all day and keep going and going and going. Funny, you are both always ready for anything and I love it! Thank you Nelda and Sheldon for being loyal clients for many years. You've been around the world but "Where to next?"

The Honeymoon Whisperer

Throughout the years working with Marie Anne, she’s become a member of our family. She was instrumental in helping setup the main hotel for our wedding guests to arrive in and they all had the best experience. I also trusted Marie Anne to then plan our African Honeymoon, she was so diligent in planning the entire itinerary that my wife and I had one less thing to worry about while planning a wedding. She only selected the best hotels to ensure it is a trip of a lifetime. Without hesitation, I would recommend Marie Anne and her services if you’re looking for an incredible trip an experience.

The trip of lifetime

Our family have using Marie Anne for more than 20 years. She put together lots of costume trips for us, also she helped us booking with some best tour companies from cruises to land tours around the world. She is always planning to all the details and make sure we had good time.

In December 2021, we went to Antarctica cruise for 2 &1/2 weeks it was amazing. In December 2022, we chose a different destination and went to Kenya and Tanzania for another two weeks. Both trips are really amazing and those are best trips. Thank you, Marie Anne.??

Spectacular Travel Agent!

Marie Anne is an absolute delight. She’s communicative, honest, well connected and always wants what’s best for her clients. She’s helped planned many spectacular trips for my husbands family and recently planned our Safari Honeymoon which is coming up soon. All the places she selects for our accommodations are out of this world, there is an incredible intention to her recommendations and they never disappoint. Sometimes she’ll throw in little surprises when we arrive to hotels that are so thoughtful and she goes above and beyond to let them know you are a preferred client. Marie Anne specializes in luxury within your budget which frankly is the reason why we love working with her, it important to have a travel agent that communicates with you about what is going to work with your budget and ensures there are no unexpected financial incidents that could ruin your trip. We have recommended Marie Anne to our closest relatives and friends, you will not regret working with her.

Our latest trip, Ireland, was Magical

A trip planned by Marie Anne is always truly amazing and special. Her vast knowledge of destinations all over the world never ceases to impress me. The magical properties she finds for us to stay in are once in a lifetime experiences: castles in the Hills of Ireland, hunting lodges tucked in a forest, borgos sitting amid Italian vineyards, and bastides in the french countryside. When we arrive we feel very welcome due to the relationships she has formed and the amount of planning she has done in advance. I can’t imagine a trip without her help now, as every vacation she has planned for us has been filled with wonderful experiences and memories!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Marie Anne Diamond responded:Thank you and it's always a pleasure planning your trips. I have learned you both love a meaningful blend of active adventure and peaceful rest away from your busy lives. I know you love hidden gems!

My Travel Guru

I've worked with many travel agents over the years. I've even had family members who were travel agents. No one compares to Marie Anne Diamond. She seems to anticipate our needs and desires before we do. Every trip she has planned for us - from weekend getaways to family travel abroad - has been amazing from start to finish. Just give her an idea and she runs with it - transportation, hotels, meals, tours - she takes care of it all. In addition to all of this, it's the little extra touches that truly makes her special.

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Marie Anne Diamond responded:I am grateful to you Pam, for taking time to share your kind words with me , knowing how busy you are as an entrepreneur. You are an excellent communicator and your patience and positive attitude, always makes my job easier. You have a wonderful family and I always enjoy planning your trips. Looking forward to more memorable family and couple trips.
