BABYMOON TRIP
"Simply put, Paola was AMAZING! Her communication throughout the entire process was impeccable. We provided our travel preferences a couple weeks before the trip, and still Paola was able accommodate ALL our desires when she provided recommendations. All the travel recommendations we experienced were remarkable! Paola also helped make my engagement day special. She went above and beyond working with the hotel staff to make the day memorable. I will never forget the outstanding job Paola did, and will absolutely be using her services again for future vacations."
- A lovely boat tour of the Calanques National Park. We got to swim into a cave and the views from the boat were breathtaking!
- Day trip to Avignon to visit the castles and other historical landmarks.
- Day trip to Arles where we did a Van Gogh walking tour and visited the Roman ruins.
- Day trip to Aix-en-Provence where we went on a wine tour of several different vineyards.
- The hotel itself was a treat! We stayed at a beautiful 5-star hotel right off the port. The location and experience were both incredible.

"Planning a bachelorette by myself was definitely not doable. I am so grateful that I came across Paola! She exceed all of my expectations, and made my life so much easier by creating an unforgettable experience for me and my friends. Her suggestions were thoroughly researched. She made sure to make reservations at the best restaurants, I didn't have to worry about anything, we always had the best table! She made sure that the bars were the vibe I was looking for. She customized my trip better than I would've ever imagined. She was able to guide me with different themes and activities for the weekend. Her creativity and dedication truly made me feel celebrated the way I wanted. The attention to detail was incredible, from the pink decor to the themed games and even the Mean Girls’ “Burn Book” guest book was amazing. The part I liked the most is that she is very responsive and gets things done fast. She was able to accommodate a group of 13 girls to amazing venues and one night we even got free cover and drinks at one of the best clubs in Tulum! I wholeheartedly recommend Paola for anyone looking to plan a bach or any other event honestly. Thank you SO much for making my bachelorette party so special, and make this experience stress-free and enjoyable for everyone!"

"Paola was just outstanding with her attention to details, follow up. Not to mention reaching out to restaurants ensuring we arrived and were happy. I can't say enough good things to our forever Travel Agent, Paola. Thank you so very much for making our trip smooth."
"Paola was beyond amazing and helpful with planning my family trip to Portugal. I reached out to her about 2 to 3 weeks before the trip in desperate need of help. She not only curated our itineraries and ensured that everything was planned perfectly, but she was extremely responsive, and enjoyable to work with. Her recommendations for hotels, tours, and restaurants were amazing. We had such a great trip all thanks to her help. HIGHLY recommend using Paola for any trip you are thinking of taking."

"I requested Paola’s services to plan my boyfriends first trip to Nicaragua. Paola was amazing from start to finish! Even during the trip she was always checking in and making sure everything was going great! I’m originally from there, but I feel like I saw my country through a tourist’s eyes and it was INCREDIBLE! Thank you for all the recommendations and tips to ensure our trip was one to remember"
- We did Volcano Boarding in Cerro Negro - A volcano near León for an adrenaline rush and amazing views.
- Paola found us a beautiful historic hotel the colonial city of Leon. We wandered through Granada's colorful streets, checked out its historic churches, and cruised around Lake Nicaragua.
- We stayed in Aqua Wellness Resort, a beautiful cabin on a private beach called Playa Redonda.
- Andrew's favorite part of the trip was relaxing at Laguna de Apoyo, a volcanic crater lake perfect for swimming, kayaking, and enjoying the sun!

"Working with Paola made my trip planning a lot easier. We had an initial conversation to talk about the places I wanted to visit, my budget, and best ways of working together. Throughout the trip preparation, she provided helpful recommendations in each city and did the heavy lifting with the bookings. During one of the cities, I had a problem with my room losing power, Paola communicated with the hotel directly and got me a room change + free perks. I would work with her again in a heartbeat."

"There are not enough words to describe how thankful we are for Paola! Everything she planned for us was amazing. All the recommendations and bookings, it all was great. We’ve always had such great communication and she was always available for us. She was very attentive and really Made our honeymoon one of the best experiences and trips we’ve ever had. Anywhere from hotel bookings to dinner reservations to transportation and all types of recommendation, our itinerary was perfection. We are so thankful for her and can’t wait to have her help us with all of our future trips."
- The dinner in the sky was so much fun to get a view of the sunset in Athens, a view of the Acropolis and get a 6 course meal that was delicious and such a great and unique experience
- We had the best day at the beach club Kalua, it was a great idea to rent the cabana right in front to have our space and be right next to the water and a place to lay down and relax, the food for lunch was also delicious
- The hotel in santorini with the view was so so beautiful. to have our own pool and jacuzzi with front row seats of the sunset was so amazing and one of the best memories, we were able to use our pool and it was private and quiet and the views were so special
- The boat day in Santorini was also so much fun to be able to see the different islands and then stop at one of the islands to have lunch front row seat on the water, it was so nice to have the boat to ourselves
- The bars in Mykonos were so much fun! we did a nigh bar hopping around with listening to music it was so much fun

"Paola is an incredible travel expert. She is responsive and professional. Paola did a great job balancing our travel wish-list with hotel availability. We decided to take a last minute honeymoon trip and Paola provided a stress-free process. She was able to get us the honeymoon perks that made the trip extra special! Would 10 out of 10 recommend!"
"Paola helped us plan and book the honeymoon of our dreams! She was so thorough in her research and made everything so easy for us to book. She dealt with all the hotels and just sent us the confirmation info. If you are looking for quality, thoroughness, and someone that is easy to work with, Paola is an easy choice."
- Complimentary one hour seaside couples massage at Secret Bay hotel.
- Free kayaks/paddle boards/ snorkeling gear to explore secret beaches and reefs around secret bay resort. We spent hours snorkeling these private reefs.
- Option to have chef cooked meals inside our bungalow (we opted to have one breakfast and one dinner cooked for us in the bungalow)
- The bungalow was the most incredible place we ever stayed. Panoramic views. Private pool. Private sunken decks in the cliff side with ocean views.
- The staff at Secret Bay was top notch. Every bungalow is assigned its own concierge/ valet. I still keep in touch with her (Rockell). She was amazing.
- Excursions are so easy to book. Our favorite excursion was a night snorkel where we saw lionfish, eels, lobster, tons of other fish. They picked us up on a luxury boat from the hotels private beach. We went snorkeling. Then they dropped us off at an amazing local seafood restaurant where you eat right on the sand. Then they picked us up from the restaurant without us having to call for a ride back

"Paola made booking our honeymoon the easiest most stress free experience! She found us the most incredible hotels within our budget, booked all of our transportation so we didn’t have to lift a finger while we were there and made sure the entire trip was smooth and effortless for us. It was the best vacation of our lives! We will definitely be booking more trips with Paola!"
- Everything about our stay at Minos Beach Art Hotel in Crete was fantastic. The service, food, views and overall vibes were magical we immediately regretted not staying there an extra few days.
- Boat rental (we drove) for a half day on Lake Como and packing a picnic lunch was surreal.
- ATV rental in Milos to explore the island.
- A half day boat tour along the coast of Milos to explore and swim in the medditerranean.

VIRGIN VOYAGES CRUISE

"I saw the ads for Virgin Cruises, but I was unsure because it was a new line. After researching and contacting Paola at Fora Travel, my doubts turned to excitement. Paola was great at keeping in touch and making sure I sent my documents early. She even gave us extra perks that let us skip the line and be among the first passengers on the red ship. The decor was tasteful, the drinks and food were sophisticated, and the shows were entertaining. Even the nights spent on the balcony looking at the moon were amazing, especially lounging in the red hammock. Virgin Cruises has spoiled other cruise lines for me. I'll choose the Virgin way whenever I can. Thanks, Paola!"
- The room service was excellent and delivered in a cleverly designed bag, making it easy to enjoy. I loved the perfectly cooked roasted purple cauliflower.
- The Virgin beach club at Bimini was gorgeous with a great DJ and staff who organized beach games. There were plenty of beach chairs. I think it's best to arrive early at the pool area to secure a lounger. Don't miss the pool party!
- Compared to other cruises, the ship was much quieter, with plenty of peaceful spots to walk, sit, read, or take a nap.
- I also enjoyed the red hammock on the balcony, where I spent every evening listening to the ocean waves.
- The staff were amazing, organizing fun activities throughout the day and selecting a few guests for special "side activities," which I unfortunately didn't get to participate in, but I heard they were a lot of fun!

"I recently worked with Paola to book my 2-week honeymoon, and I can’t recommend her enough! She was incredibly helpful, providing a range of options within our budget and ensuring clear communication throughout the process, which made planning stress-free. Paola stayed on top of our reservations and offered fantastic activity recommendations that truly enhanced our experience. She even helped organize a surprise romantic beach dinner. If you’re planning a trip, I highly recommend her—she made our honeymoon truly unforgettable! The free perks we received from booking with her, like complimentary massages and room upgrades, were fantastic. I can't wait to book my next adventure with her!"

"I was skeptical about getting a travel agent, but I quickly realized I didn’t know how valuable someone like Paola would be. She was everything you would want in a travel agent. Responsive, great communication, organized, listened to our preferences, and she was very flexible with our ever-changing plans and opinions. We have been planning this trip for over a year and she somehow kept us organized and didn’t miss a single detail. I would highly advise anyone, and I’ve already done so with a few of my friends, that is planning a trip to Europe that they should contact Paola. She was incredible and helped us plan the trip of a lifetime. She’s the best!"
- Staying at Le Sirenuse was a dream and worth every penny!
- Staying at Grand Hotel Parker's in Naples was a five-star experience and their rooftop lounge was one of the best we went on in Italy.
- Fantastic service, huge and beautiful rooms at San Firenze Suites & Spa in Florence.

"I wanted to have a special trip to Morocco and ensure that all the recommendations were top-notch to maximize our trip. Paola found the right Moroccan tour partner for us and private driver to take us to Agafay Desert. Not only did she manage the booking, but she also ensured I was comfortable with the itinerary and understood the vision for my trip. As soon as we boarded the plane to Morocco, she was checking in on us and making sure we felt good about all the bookings, tours, and reservations she had arranged. I truly recommend working with Paola for a stress-free trip while getting the most out of it. My husband and I do a yearly special trip, and we will definitely continue working with Paola. She knows the best spots and is also able to share local contacts as needed."
- Chez Lamine Hadj Mustapha: The chef, who used to cook for the king, has a special method for preparing lamb that makes the experience unforgettable.
- Agafay Desert: The stay, the camp, and the sunrise were surreal.
- Mamounia Hotel: Feels like a palace. We loved having lunch and coffee there.
- Les Bains de Marrakech: I spent 3 hrs enjoying a Hammam bath, massage, and facial.

"Paola always gives us a 5-star booking experience! We had the request to have a luxurious tropical getaway for our babymoon and she came through! The request was quite broad but she helped us narrow it down quickly. She showed us a few options and helped us narrow things down based on our personal preferences. Once it came down to booking she took care of the rest. I've said it before - I'll never book any travel without Paola's help! She always gets us the best experience and usually some special perks too!"
- The biggest highlight was walking into a beautiful open air resort with serene landscaping and a view of the perfectly turquoise ocean water from the lobby!
- Our spacious room gave us another amazing ocean view and balcony to catch that ocean breeze. The room itself had every amenity including a claw foot tub looking out some windows to the ocean! And the final nice touch of chocolate and sparkling rose as our welcome gifts really hit the spot!
- There were multiple pools to choose from in the resort but our favorite was the one steps from the beach with a swim up bar! We could choose from cabanas, pool chairs or beach chairs to spend our day. When I got tired of sunbathing, I took out the complimentary stand-up paddle board to explore the shores of Turks and Caicos. And once I got tired of that I got myself a cold cocktail at the swim up bar!
- One afternoon we got to enjoy a sunset cruise! It was a very fun and relaxing experience where we got to see some of the biggest beach side villas on the island! Drinks and small bites were included.
- Finally, we had some excellent dinners at Bay Bistro and at Parallels 23! Fresh seafood, refreshing fruits and vegetables, balanced cocktails, and good service! There's apparently a LOT of good restaurants on the island but those were our 2 favorites that we encountered on our short stay.
