- AC GREEN

Destination: Galapagos

Galapagos Dream –“This was our first time working with Stefany Ceccato of DMC Travel Tailor and she certainly set the bar high. Her knowledge and advice were extremely helpful and she was always responsive. Everything was perfectly planned to the smallest detail. She also created an informative and practical itinerary which was also available on our phones through her customized Axus Travel App. Our trip included airport transfers, a city tour in Quito, Ecuador, and a 7-night Galapagos cruise with Aqua Expeditions. She skillfully scheduled, coordinated, and delivered a great overall travel experience. Stefany has our highest recommendation.”

- GARY AND CONNIE K.

"We used Stefany to book a hotel for us through Virtuoso. She pays attention to details and was able to get answers to several questions for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and will recommend her to friends.”

- JO

Destination: Galapagos

"I truly enjoyed working with Stefany Ceccato. Our trip was months in planning and Stefany was extremely efficient and responsive to all of our questions. There were many details to this trip and the travelers in our group came from 3 locations. She was available to handle any issues 7 days a week. Our trip was wonderful. She was a pleasure to work with.”

- GINNY

Destination: Mexico (Cozumel)

"Don't travel without Stefany! - Stefany makes travel great, exciting & stress-free! Two beautiful vacations later and Stefany will always be my go-to guide for all things travel. You don't really know how good she is until you try doing it without her! She is truly an expert and affords her clients real peace of mind. She is a thoughtful listener and is very detailed & thorough. I appreciate that she is confident in her recommendations and presentations. I completely trust Stefany to take care of the travel plans for my family. I am convinced that no one does it better!"

- LINDSEY HILLMAN

Destination: Washington, DC

"Stefany was incredibly helpful when we found ourselves needing to stay overnight in Washington, DC. We reached out to her last minute and she booked us at the Riggs Hotel. We are so appreciative of her. She communicated with us several times and took care of our reservation immediately. The Riggs is absolutely beautiful. Cafe Riggs is a lovely spot for a cocktail or dinner. You just want to linger there. The room was great, too."

- KAREN SCARBOROUGH

- ROGERS

Destination: Italy (Florence, Tuscany region, Rome)

"Best Trip Ever! It was so easy and nice to work with Stefany. In one phone call (first), Stefany was able to identify what would make for a memorable trip for me and my family. I always felt she heard and nailed what we were trying to say! She helped us keep to a reasonable budget but did not miss anything we wanted to see on the trip. Her organization was amazing and was a useful tool for us throughout the trip. Every suggestion she made, from hotel choosing to transportation to excursions, was amazing and perfect!"
- ROBYN RUBIN

Destination: Beverly Hills, California

- HAYDEN JENNINGS

Destination: Milestone Birthday Celebration, Charleston, SC

"When planning a surprise birthday celebration for my husband, Stefany immediately came to mind to help me plan a 'birthday to remember.' Stefany flawlessly designed a previous trip for my family, so I knew I wanted to engage in her services for this memorable occasion. We chose Charleston, SC for our destination. Stefany highly recommended Hotel Bennett for our stay and we could not have been more pleased. When we arrived the front desk welcomed us as though they knew us personally and my husband was wished a Happy Birthday! by the staff. Because Stefany is a Virtuoso member, our room was upgraded to a Premier King room. We felt like VIPs! Our room was beautifully appointed and we were greeted with welcome balloons, a sparkling beverage, birthday cake for two and a personalized note from Stefany. She also made reservations for our birthday dinner. No doubt it was an evening 'fit for a king!' My husband said it was the best birthday he ever had! Many thanks, Stefany!" 
- CAROL ERB

Destination: NYC and US Open

"Stefany is always very knowledgeable about travel especially in NYC since she knows the city firsthand. We have learned to trust her judgment and recommendations since she has gotten to know our likes and dislikes. Everything was a highlight of our trip, especially the upgrade to a suite at the Crosby Street Hotel! More importantly, my wife loved it! Happy wife, happy life! We had a great time in NYC attending the US Open tennis, going to see the Moulin Rouge play, a wonderful dinner in the West Village, and drinks at the Crosby Street hotel bar. Very nice long weekend over Labor Day."            
- ANTONIO PIETRI 

Destination: Canada/Rocky Mountaineer

"Stefany Is a real good professional, she made sure that we will enjoy every part of our vacation. We enjoyed working with her."

- DROR ZADOK

Destination: Venice and Athens

"Stefany is an excellent resource and a wonderful facilitator. Will definitely work with her again!" 
- STEVEN CLEM

Destination: Ireland

"Stefany has planned several trips for us, including a recent 2 week trip to Ireland. She always exceeds expectations! She is extraordinarily knowledgeable, thorough, and very personable. She spends time talking to clients to assess one's goals for the travel experience and then expeditiously works to accomplish exactly what the client has envisioned. After returning home, she does a debrief to see what are your thoughts about the positives and negatives, if any, for the trip. If she is away, she is either available herself or has updated 2 of her colleagues about one's trip in the event you need something done emergently. She works with outstanding companies in the area where one is traveling to arrange desired experiences. She is a strong advocate for her clients. Recently, we canceled an upcoming cruise due to sold-out excursions in the ports; they could have kept much of the money we had paid but she convinced them to refund all of our money. She is truly outstanding!" 
- DIANA COLLINS

Destination: Japan

"We always know that we are in for a wonderful adventure when Stefany plans a trip for us! Our most recent trip to Japan was a Bucket List destination. We wanted to maximize our time abroad to explore a few different areas of the country by visiting multiple areas in Japan to experience the striking differences between the ancient culture of Kyoto and the modern capital city-Tokyo including staying at a traditional ryokan with a hot spring. All the arrangements (flights, hotels, cars, cab transfers) went as planned. The hotels and the tours she recommended were excellent! Hotel locations in particular were ideal. Everything was on 1 itinerary and in explicit descriptions and instructions including where to meet our driver at the airport, what their uniform would look like, and what type of car they would be driving, which is important in a country that you don’t speak the language. The resort, amenities, and service were amazing, and the food was over the top phenomenal!" 
- LORI GRUBE

Destination: Sorrento, Italy

"Stefany was fantastic to work with! A pleasure to work with and responded quickly. I would highly recommend her services. She was a top notch professional and very knowledgeable. I would give her a 10 on a 5 star review!!!! This was a first class trip all the way. Our accommodations were incredible and all the services and excursions she had for us in place were perfect." 
-BOBBY SHEALY

Destination: Europe (Spain, Italy and France)

"It was a wonderful experience working with Stefany. She goes above & beyond. Our trip was amazing."

- BRIAN MARCUS

Destination: Champagne region of France

"Stefany thrives to understand your likes and dislikes to design a travel experience that will feel right. She recommended that we stay at the Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa but frankly the description and website pictures don't do justice to the hotel and spa. We loved it and are thinking about when to go back. The champagne tasting tours recommended by her were also a tasting and learning experience. I highly recommend Stefany to anyone that needs a travel advisor."

- ANTONIO PIETRI

Destination: Quito/Galapagos

“Thank you, Stefany! A friend introduced Stefany to me thinking we would work well together. Upon our first conversation, I knew Stefany would be perfect for planning our trip to the Galápagos Islands and Quito. Stefany had recently planned a Galapagos trip for other clients and was well informed with details. If she did not know the answer to any of my questions, there was no hesitation on her part to find the answers. Virtuoso’s network comes in handy! While being very attentive to my constant barrage of questions and concerns, working with Stefany was an absolute pleasure. With Stefany doing all the planning, my daughters and I simply had to arrive at the airport to begin a well-organized dream trip.”
- SANDRA CAMERON

Destination: Lake Como

"Stefany was great to work with. She was very responsive and made sure all of our questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. Very knowledgeable and great recommendations on whatever interests we had. She continued to check in before, during and after and made sure we knew she was always available. We would definitely use Stefany for all future international travel!"
- DJ

Destination: Rome and Venice

"Wonderful. She was quick to answer our questions. Reached out to check if we needed anything extra as the trip got closer to departure. Helped work with food allergies and restaurants. All our documentation was correct. Very easy to work with."
- LIBBA GRIFFIN

Destination: Costa Rica Family Adventure!

"You know when you speak with someone for the first time and you just "know in your knower" you have the right fit? Stefany is that person if you're looking for a trusted travel advisor. She has a 100% satisfaction rate for a reason. From the moment we began designing a family trip to Costa Rica, Stefany began working on our wishlist and designed an adventure trip dreams are made of. In the planning stages when questions arose her response time was impressive. If needed during travel Stefany was a message or phone call away. The logistics and timing of our flights, transfers to and from accommodations and excursions was genius! One family member said we could have never pulled this off on our own. Stefany makes you feel like you're the only client she's working with. You will feel special with her bon voyage gifts, a personal letter greeting you at your destination and a welcome home gift awaiting upon return. Look no further- you'll have a travel designer for life!"

- CAROL ERB

Destination: Ultimate India Experience

"Stefany is a wonderful agent and listened to my requests and concerns as a solo female traveler. I was met by friendly local guides in each city and every hotel/resort booked was above my expectations. She responded to any questions quickly while I was traveling which I greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for creating an incredible travel experience that on all levels was above and beyond."
- VALERIE QUICK 

Destination: Galapagos Islands on the Aqua Mare

"Working with Stefany is WONDERFUL!! We've booked several trips with and thru her and this one, like the others, was seamless: no hiccups with flights, guides/drivers, accommodations, excursions. We especially appreciate her attention to detail, her willingness to make alternate suggestions and her quick response to our questions. All of our expectations have not just been met but exceeded. Traveling has become one of our favorite things because of Stefany. Love planning special experiences with her!!" 
- SCOTT and FRAN WILLIAMS

Destination: Paris, Bangalore, Osaka and Kona

"Stefany booked hotels and restaurants for a trip through Paris, Bangalore, Osaka and Kona. All of our experience was top notch and Stefany was very involved with the whole process. Also I want to thank her for a great recommendation in Miami. Thank you for all of your effort!"
- JOHN BELL

Destination: Montage Palmetto Bluff

"Stefany is the best! We have worked with Stefany many times now. She is always very helpful, upbeat, and quick to respond. Plus she has access to great Virtuoso amenities! We especially appreciated the birthday cake she had in our hotel room when we arrived. She goes above and beyond to make sure we have a good trip and always makes a point to follow up afterward to hear feedback about the vacation. We highly recommend her." 
- DANA SCARBOROUGH

Destination: Antarctica

“Very pleasant and resourceful. She made sure that I was completely satisfied with the ship I would be traveling on. Stefany set up several interviews, which helped educate me about the trip I would be taking. When I had a question, she had the answer the same day. I would recommend Stefany to guide me on any kind of trip. Her goal is to make her client completely comfortable with their travel plan.”

- MARY PETERS

Destination: World Cup Qatar 2022

"Transparent. Excellent communication. Always available. Very responsive. Friendly. Approachable. Patience. Stefany has all of these excellent qualities."

Destination: Copenhagen and Norway

"Amazing nordic experience- Stefany is phenomenal. We planned a trip to Copenhagen and her ability to balance recommendations and adjust on the fly are just remarkable. She is so reliable and communicative, positive and well-informed. I added a Norway extension at the last minute to see the northern lights and she nailed it. Bucket list checked and magical time had! I cannot say enough good things!" 
- KYLIE WRIGHT-FORD

Destination: New Zealand helicopter experience

"Great Customer Service! Even though our tour had some challenges with weather, Stefany worked overtime to ensure we were able to salvage part of the tour as well as get refunded for the part we missed due to weather. Stefany’s international travel acumen make her a tremendous asset when planning travel or tours, because if she hasn’t been there herself, she knows who to contact who has. She is a pleasure to work with and works extra hard to make sure her clients have the best experience possible."
- SEAN MOONEY

Destination: Portugal

"Seamless. Every detail was considered, checked and double-checked. Stefany was always accessible and quick to respond. We never worried that some small detail might be overlooked. As stress-free as traveling can be these days." 
- FRAN

Destination: Private Jet

Stefany reserved a Gulfstream 4 for our commute between our Colorado and our Florida homes which wasn't easy with 4 dogs and 2 cats and the winter storm that created icy conditions that delayed our pick-up. She did a fantastic job and we will continue to use her services to fly back and forth." 
- LORI GRUBE

Destination: London and Scotland

"Long-time client - Stefany recently planned our trip to London/Scotland this past summer. She has traveled to many areas of the world. She enjoys luxury, and stress-free travel, and that is what she gives to her clients. She provides the value of her personal experiences to create new experiences for each client as an individual. Stefany believes that the trip is about the memories you create on the adventures you take whether it be: * Riding a camel in a desert oasis in Dubai * Tracking wild dogs to a watering hole where Lions were sleeping in South Africa * Experiencing the hidden gems of Europe * Being pulled into a tango on the streets of Buenos Aires Whether you want to take a once-in-a-lifetime trip around the world, a honeymoon to a romantic destination, or a luxury cruise, Stefany has got it covered.

- GAIL DERREBERRY

Destination: Paul Gauguin- Tahiti/French Polynesia

"Excellent- Stefany Ceccato was very easy to work with. She answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. I’m sure I asked too many since this was my first cruise and using Stefany. I sent emails and she sent them back the same day or the next morning. I would not hesitate to use Stefany again for my next cruise or trip."

- THE BRANNONS

Destination: Italian lakes and Venice

"I consider myself to be an experienced traveler. I have been to Italy twice and many other places in Europe. I traveled to Asia, to Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Thailand. I also traveled to Palau and Truk Lagoon scuba diving. I have been in many South and Central American countries. I know the Caribbean Sea like it's my neighborhood. I planned all of this travel without a Travel Advisor. But my last trip has changed me. The experiences, the accommodations and the dining in Italy were much better than I could plan and execute. Stefany holds the keys to Italy. She opened doors that I could not have found on my own.”
- PATTERSON

Destination: Rome, France and beyond

"Outstanding travel advisor! I have worked with Stefany for several years. She is outstanding! Everything she has booked for us has been perfect. She is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to help her clients. She finds outstanding hotels and books really wonderful tours. She then follows up after the trip to de-brief about the trip. She found us the loveliest hotel for our recent Rome trip and worked with the tour folks in Rome to plan great tours. She even booked dining reservations at the hotel for us. She booked a France river cruise for us a year before the pandemic started and booked the pre-cruise for us as well. When the tours for the pre-cruise (scheduled but the river cruise company) were not as advertised, she worked tirelessly to have that portion of the pre-cruise reimbursed. I love it that she and her company can follow your flight and help you in the event your flight is canceled and they are available for emergency situations when you are traveling. We always get Stefany to plan our trips."
- DIANA COLLINS

Destination: Italy

“Trip of a lifetime to Italy - Stefany did such an outstanding job on planning this trip! It was simply perfection! Everything and I do mean everything, was top notch. The hotels, buses, restaurants and excursions were beyond my expectations! It was very obvious that Stefany went way beyond the call of duty regarding the research that she must have done to locate the best of the best! Having Stefany and her husband, Daniele accompany us on the trip truly made it that more special and intimate! It did not feel as though we were on a trip with a group of unknown companions but, a group of friends! I took my niece on this trip and it was her first European trip. She loved it! Her father said that all she talks about is her trip to Italy! They want to go next year and of course Stefany will arrange all of the details. I have referred her to so many people even seat partners on flights! She has such a passion for what she does and it really shows! Thank you again, Stefany!! :)”
- KAT RYAN

Destination: Personalized trips around the world

“Over and Beyond- Stefany is well known to my husband and I as a travel specialist and friend. In the past she has planned 2 trips for us. She herself was on a trip out of the country and went above and beyond to coordinate a stay for us at Hotel Bennett through the contact there. It is always a pleasure to work with Stefany."

- JOHN AND JODY VARVARIS

Destination: lasting memories

“A superb personal service experience- A very efficient personal service and excellent choice of itinerary. From start to finish, our booking arrangements were handled in a very helpful, professional and pleasant manner by Stefany. Great advice, sending us to great places and planning a fantastic holiday with memories to last a lifetime.”

- LORI GRUBE

Destination: All around the world

"We have now been working with Stefany for about two years. Our first trip that she planned for us, three weeks in Europe: Prague, Cesky, Vienna, Dubrovnik, Split, sailing, Santorini, was one of the best trips we have taken with our daughters and in celebration of our 30th anniversary. This time, there was no planning for what I needed. My wife and I decided to spend a long weekend in Miami Beach and were completely unhappy with the hotel that we reserved for our stay in Miami. The morning after our first night in the hotel I called Stefany to check if she could help me find a better hotel in Miami Beach considering the long Easter Weekend. She came through with an amazing hotel, the Faena in Miami Beach, including all the amenities that come with Virtuoso membership and an upgrade of the room. It completely changed the outlook of the weekend and my wife calls it one of her best short-stay vacations. As I told Stefany, she saved my 'bacon'. I recommend Stefany to anyone."

- ANTONIO

Destination: Naples

"Stefany was amazing to work with. She made planning our 10yr anniversary seamless. We did not have to worry about booking our room, dinner reservations or any extra activities during our stay in Naples. Her attention to detail and just giving us that sense of peace was awesome! Cannot wait for her to plan our next trip! If you have not worked with Stefany before please do yourself a favor and have her take care of you. You are in good hands! We love her!"

- THE SKOURAS'

Destination: Montreal

“Phenomenal Attention to Detail! What was supposed to be a simple Montreal hotel booking and a few restaurant recommendations turned into a complex and ever- changing set of circumstances. Conditions for border crossings, unresponsive restaurants and our own discomfort with changing regulations, created a situation that had Stefany seeking advice, clarification, and recommendations. She did this with incredible calm, persistence, expertise and kindness. We had a marvelous, relaxing and very rich experience Thanks to Stefany’s exquisite professionalism, genuine concern and ability to get all the information necessary to assure we were able to visit this lovely city in a time of such uncertainty. An irony is that Quebec just added additional restrictions. We are thrilled to have had this lovely adventure when we did!”

- LORI ROWE

She was prompt in her responses, thorough in her recommendations and extremely knowledgeable, attentive and candid in her efforts to assure that we had a wonderful experience in Charleston.

We are very excited to have met Stefany and are looking forward to working with her for travel going forward.”

- TONI ROGERS

Destination: Rocky Mountaineer

“Stefany is my travel advocate! Stefany is great. We asked to vary from the Rocky Mountaineer tour itinerary and she made it happen. We flew into Moab (rather than Salt Lake City) two days early. Our tours in Moab were beautiful and would not have happened without her help. All of our arrangements were flawless.”

P. SMITH

Destination: Bear Camp in Alaska

“She was awesome! Her connecting and networking skills are very good as she made all the arrangements to this far and away place. The fact that she was unfamiliar with Great Alaska and how to get there did not stop her.”

“Stefany is a talented advisor and she does fabulous work!  I had not traveled in four years and I chose a difficult and off the beaten path as my destination. Stefany put the trip together for me taking care of all the details!  I had a very memorable and perfect trip!  I am planning another trip and it will be a joy to plan it with her!”

- DANA

Destination: Italy

“Still pinching myself!!! We couldn’t have imagined a more magical Italy experience! Words can’t accurately describe how amazing Stefany was to work with. She spent an hour on the phone with us asking questions: our goals, what we wanted to do, what we like/dislike, etc. and discussed our must-haves. It wasn’t until after she learned about us that we discussed our budget. I can’t stress how valuable that was; it showed us that she cared about our experience and creating a trip that we would never forget. She kept in contact with us leading up to the trip and was very responsive. Every single detail was flawlessly executed including her own personal touches (like remembering our Anniversary!) Our transfers, drivers and excursions were top notch and checked every box on our must-have list. We loved every minute of our trip and it all began with choosing the perfect travel coordinator. Thank you, Stefany for making our dream of visiting Italy a reality in a way that we never could have imagined was possible!” 

- JAMI DOHONEY

It was an absolute pleasure spending this 12 day vacation touring in Spain and we look forward to having you plan Mr.’s upcoming 60th birthday next year. Stefany and Daniele – your calmness and energy, your ability to deal with any change request that we made if in advance or on the fly made this experience unforgettable, the level of service you extended to all of us is remarkable, THANK YOU!”

She has introduced me to private tours and skip the line tickets, huge time savers. And of course there is always her personal touch. Welcoming letters at each hotel and a welcome home gift upon return. A total pro, give her your dreams and she’ll have you waking and walking there.” 

- CHRIS DICKEY

Destination: Portugal and Malta

“Above and Beyond. Stefany has been just amazing to work with on planning a very cool adventure to Portugal and Malta.

- HAYDEN JENNINGS

Destination: France

“Outstanding! Perfect! Very Enjoyable trip planned and coordinated by DMC Travel Tailor! My wife and I were blessed to experience the Perfect trip to France due to the guidance, coordination and arrangements made by DMC Travel Tailor.

We traveled to France for 14 days including a Uniworld River Cruise from Lyon to Avignon in between a personalized 3 1/2 days in Paris and 1 1/2 days following the cruise in Avignon. Stefany, the Dream Travel Designer was outstanding in making recommendations and suggestions as well as arrangements that met our personal taste. The River Cruise was perfect and included tours that were recommended by DMC Travel Tailor and a few that were coordinated uniquely for our small group within the cruise. The hotel arranged for us by DMC Travel Tailor in Paris was beautiful, perfectly located, with a stunning view of Paris! Thank you DMC Travel Tailor for making our Perfect trip a reality!”

- JOHN & JODY VARVARIS

Destination: Italy

“Outstanding trip and Fantastic Agent (Stefany) A+++++. We have wanted to go to Italy for years and finally did it. We worked with Stefany who helped us plan this trip down to the smallest detail and it was perfect. We had a truly amazing 2 weeks in Italy and we owe this all to her planning and help. We had the perfect worry-free trip because of her. We had a very small issue come up part way thru the trip and Stefany took care of it for us that same day (even being 5,000 miles away). We were so impressed. You will not find a better travel agent to work with than her. We would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely use her services again in the future. WE thank DMC Travel Tailor and Stefany for a perfect trip throughout Italy that we will remember always.”

- JOHN & ANNETTE D'ACQUISTO

“Stefany is wonderful! She is attentive and knowledgeable. She always responded to my questions very quickly–sometimes even late in the evening. She planned a once-in-a-lifetime experience on a Uniworld river cruise with a much beloved Charleston area chef. It was a fabulous experience! She and her husband also went on the cruise which made it even more special. She is very customer service oriented. At every destination ( as we had her schedule a pre-cruise and post-cruise for us), there was a sweet letter from her and her husband. They even sent us a thank- you gift which arrived the day after we arrived back from our trip with treats to remind us of France. She carefully researched the activities we wanted to do. She was meticulous in arranging our trip. We will definitely have her arrange our travel plans in the future. In fact. all of us in the Charleston group asked her, “where are we going next?” She and her husband call themselves the bucket-list fillers and they certainly are!”

DIANA COLLINS

Destination: Florence and Amalfi Coast

“30th Anniversary Italy DREAM Trip-Florence and Amalfi Coast-Working with Stefany was great! She is sweet and thorough, asked us lots of questions about how we like to travel, what we like to do, the types of hotels we prefer, and was able to accommodate both of us equally. The tours she set up for us were perfect, the guides knowledgeable, the hotels exquisite, and I don’t know how she pulled this off, but the weather spectacular! 😉 I’m sure we could have done our own planning, but Stefany’s knowledge of the area and expertise in travel and tourism made it all the more special and is a trip I’ll remember for a lifetime.”

- MICHELLE BASTIAN RICHARDS

Destination: France

“Stefany was amazing. Her team prepared an awesome itinerary. The private tour day in the Burgundy region included a lunch stop at winery that was one of the best meals of the trip. The hotels she booked in Lyon and Beaune were over the top great. I will be using her for my travel going forward. Could not be happier with my experience here!”

“Thoughtful and seamless. It was terrific working with Stefany. She was proactive, constantly in communication, took care of the littlest detail and infinitely patient. Every leg of our travel had somebody waiting to greet us and get us through the travel mazes. When we reached our accommodation there was always a personal letter from Stefany greeting us. When we arrived home, there was a gift awaiting us, reminding us of our superb holiday. Stefany should get a special recognition or award for dealing with the Uniworld cruise director, who clearly was having trouble coping. She will get my business again!”

Destination: Ahh experiences

“Excellent Experience. Stefany made both planning and experiencing our vacation wonderful. She provided options based upon our preferences so we could make choices but not be overwhelmed. We definitely felt our trip was personalized just for us. All details of our trip were covered which made for a relaxing and stress free experience. Stefany’s kind hospitality “touches” made for an “ahhh” experience throughout our trip. We are not normally big travelers but Stefany made our trip so great we believe more travels, arranged by Stefany, are in our future.”

- GAIL DERREBERRY

Destination: Mediterranean cruise

“Stefany helped us plan a 9-day Luxury Mediterranean cruise and a 5-day extra stay in Italy. Stefany was always incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about what we were wanting and what types of accommodations and services best suited our tastes. She followed up if she didn’t have answers for us and recommended some great things.

One of the best parts of our 3-week vacation was the last 5 days that we spent on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Stefany planned the whole thing for us, from the car service pick up, tours and hotels. It was one of the best parts of our trip! Service was spot on! We also enjoyed our little cards and welcome gifts at each different place we went to.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to travel for any type of business or pleasure.”

Destination: 10 thumbs up travel

“I’d give Stefany 10 thumbs up if I had 10 thumbs : )
I’m pretty particular and therefore I often hesitate about turning over the reigns when it comes to planning. Stefany took the time to get to know our individual and group needs and desires, so I trusted she was finding the best options for us. I was able to comfortably take a more hands-off approach, which made my life and schedule less stressful. Her attention to detail helped the trip run smoothly and her thoughtfulness showed she really cared about us and our happiness. Work with Stefany to create your next dream adventure with ease.”

She is incredibly knowledgeable, organized, thorough, and always goes above and beyond to help her clients.  She provides excellent suggestions during the trip planning process; whether you are looking for a structured day to day itinerary or just some recommendations for those who are a little more spontaneous with their plans. She is always incredibly responsive by call, text or email and each interaction is always welcomed with warmth and a smile. We highly recommend her to all of our family, friends, and clients.”
- ASHLEY SOCKOL AND JASON PRUGER

Destination: Prague and Vienna

“Our trip to Prague and Vienna turned out to be beyond our expectations all customized just for us!! Each leg, each touch point, each adventure, felt like it was planned with attention to detail with regards to our needs. The various excursions, private walking tours and castle tours made the best use of time to make for a very memorable vacation. We had no worries that we would be greeted and directed in a timely and professional manner, that the accommodations were superb, and that we had been guided by someone who knew the culture and history of each country.
There is nothing we would have changed. Just an outstanding trip we will always remember.
We would definitely use you again for future travel plans.”
- LORI GRUBE

Destination: Amalfi Coast

“I recently had the pleasure of traveling to the Amalfi coast.  We had enlisted both Stefany Di Manno Ceccato, and Daniele Ceccato of DMC Travel Tailor to help us come up with a few very unique ideas while we were visiting the Amalfi coast.  They had proposed the idea of chartering a private yacht for the day. We really liked the idea.  Honestly, I was a bit skeptical as I thought the price would be astronomical.  It turns out it was not! It was super affordable, and definitely over delivered on many levels.  DMC Travel Tailor had found a private yacht that launched out of Salerno, took us up the gorgeous coast, and returned the same day.  The Captain of the boat, Pasquale, and his wife were wonderful hosts.  They were warm and engaging.  And, phenomenal cooks. The Captain was so kind, and extremely interesting.  He is a classical guitarist, and, a professor of music and art.  Most importantly, he was a very astute Nautical Captain.  He grew up around boats, and always wanted to do exactly what he was doing in hosting our group. We felt like we were in very capable hands. Upon arrival, they greeted us warmly. The Captain went over a few safety points, and we were off.  We moved through the water at a pleasant pace.  They prepared a wonderful, healthy, flavor filled lunch.  The pace of the day was very relaxed, yet, had direction. Being I am a hands-on person, the Captain let me drive the boat all the way back down the coast.  Upon arriving back to port just before Sundown, the timing was perfect.  We walked around Salerno for an hour or so, while the Captain and his wife were preparing our dinner. It was incredible. A great ending to an already exquisite day. This was our first experience with DMC, we will definitely be contacting them for our next adventure!  Both Stefany and Daniele were kind, professional, and fun.  We wish them nothing but the best, and will certainly recommend our friends to enlist their services on their next “bucket list” trip.”
