2 Unforgettable Trips
Samantha has booked two completely different trips for us, but both of them were spectacular and have changed travel planning for us forever. She booked an Italy trip for us last summer that was just perfect in every way, she gave us different options on destinations, and hotels, and great advice to maximize our time there. She listened to what we wanted to see and do and came up with the perfect itinerary and hotels. More recently she helped plan a trip to Vail/Tulum. Again, making every step of the way easy and seamless, from flights, hotels, transportation, restaurants, etc. I highly recommend working with Samantha for any trip you are planning on taking, she is the best in the business!

Beyond our Expectations!
We took our first cruise ever and had the best time. I have always been concerned about cruises for a host of reasons and turned to Samantha with a long list questions and concerns. She guided us through the process and suggested a trip that was beyond our expecations. The answers were thorough and comprehensive and we would take another cruise again in a second.

Sam is the best of the best!!
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Sam to plan a trip to France for a wedding, and the experience exceeded every expectation. While we had a general sense of what we wanted, we lacked the time, knowledge, and bandwidth to pull it together. From the start, Sam listened carefully, understood our vision, and translated it into a trip that was seamless, thoughtful, and perfectly tailored to us. Each leg of the trip captured exactly what we were hoping for, making the entire experience unforgettable.
What impressed us most was Sam’s professionalism and proactive approach. At one point, there was an issue with the rental car vendor that was entirely out of her control. We only became aware of it because Sam called not to raise a problem, but to present two fully resolved solutions after working tirelessly behind the scenes. Thanks to her diligence, it never touched our experience.
Sam also has a remarkable way of balancing expertise with partnership. When work pulled me away from planning, she kept us on track with thoughtful reminders, ensuring decisions were made without pressure. Her guidance was candid and transparent, helping us understand where it was worth investing and where it was not. Unlike generic online research or big-name places or packages, her options were worth it all, individualized, refined, and aligned with our preferences.
It is clear this is not a side pursuit for Sam but a true career and calling. She brings dedication, depth of knowledge, and attention to detail that make her clients feel genuinely cared for and prioritized.
After this experience, Sam will be my first call for my next trip. She is an exceptional professional whose commitment, talent, and care set her apart. Whether as a partner in the process or taking the reins entirely, Sam is the travel agent you want in your corner. We are grateful not only for the flawless trip she planned but also for the peace of mind she gave us throughout.

The most relaxing trip of our lives!
Sam helped my employer choose the best, small, family friendly resort for our first trip to Turks and Caicos! My room was large and stunning with a large balcony with views directly overlooking the pool and straight down to the ocean. Service was so kind and accommodating. We lived in the gorgeous pool with our infant for the 6 day duration. Breakfast buffet and restaurants were great. It was perfect for us and we’re so thankful to Sam for knowing exactly what we needed!

First Family Trip - Best Experience Yet!
My husband and I were eager to travel for a much needed vacation with our new baby, but lost at where to go that would feel luxurious, relaxing, and also accommodating to our situation. This was my first experience working with someone to organize a trip, and I will never not use Sam for any trips moving forward! Within 24 hours, she was able to narrow down 4 incredible options for us that fit every box we were looking to check (and there were many). Upon choosing the property in Turks, she handled every booking and transportation seamlessly. Everything about our trip was a dream - the location she selected was absolutely perfect and we truly couldn't have had a better week as a family. We can't wait to work with Sam again on our next family vacation!

One of the best trips EVER to Morocco!! Thanks Sam
Sam not only exceeded our expectations for our recent trip to Morocco, she absolutely blew us away. She was so professional and the process of setting up our hotels, flights, transfers, and above all the "vibe" we wanted for the trip was nothing short of amazing. Everything about the services she provided were so valuable and made our trip that much more special. Thank you SO MUCH Sam and the rest of the team for helping us out, for being so responsive and for listening to our requests every step of the way. I would HIGHLY recommend Samantha Mandor to anyone in need of a travel professional for their next trip!

She Gets Me—and My Taste—Every Time
Samantha is incredible—she’s helped plan amazing trips for both my partner and me, as well as for my family with two young kids. She always thinks through my goals for the trip, curates beautiful and unique places that match my (very picky) taste, and takes care of every detail. No matter the type of trip—beach, city, or hiking—she makes it stress-free and fun. With my busy schedule, I love how easy she is to communicate with. I truly trust her and look forward to every trip she helps plan.

Most special trip (with our baby!)
We recently went on our first trip with our baby — then 6 months old — and it was truly unforgettable, all thanks to Samantha Mandor. What could have been a stressful experience turned out to be smooth, luxurious, and incredibly special.
Sam recommended 1 Hotel South Beach, and it was absolutely perfect. The hotel was stunning, spacious (very spacious!), and surprisingly baby-friendly. The staff was warm and accommodating, and the room setup made traveling with a little one feel easy and relaxed. We had the ocean right outside our window, incredible food options just steps away, and the kind of energy that made it feel like a real escape — even with a baby in tow.
But what made this trip truly stand out was Samantha herself. Her knowledge of Miami Beach — from stroller-friendly dining spots, to hidden gems that welcome kids, to the best times and places to walk by the water — was spot on. She thought of everything, and her recommendations felt completely tailored to our family.
