Melanie made the arrangements for my trip to Italy. I gave her a rough idea of the places I wanted to visit and the things I like to do, and she took it from there. The hotels and activities that she chose were exactly to my taste and her intimate knowledge of the country enabled her to make the right decisions about modes of transportation to use to get around from region to the next. She arranged for a private driver where a taxi would not have made sense. All of the arrangements worked out flawlessly and I have Melanie to thank for making my trip as easy and enjoyable as possible.

Melanie has arranged several holidays for my family over the last four years, and we have always appreciated her professionalism and in depth knowledge of the places we visit.

We couldn't have asked for anything more from our Honeymoon through Melanie!

Melanie Hibbs at Oyster Travel took care of our most recent vacation. She was very informed, thorough and helpful through the entire planning stages and followed through to the end. We had a total of 25 people we had to organize from pre-cruise hotel stays, 7-day cruise and round trip flights for everyone. She was patient and persistent having to deal with bankrupt airlines and rebookings. She's a gem. I would deal with Melanie Hibbs and Oyster travel again.

Melanie put together a great babymoon for us to the Cook Islands. We had no idea where we wanted to go and she came up with the perfect suggestion. The resorts were all amazing and it is the first vacation where we said we want to come back. Our only regret is that we didn't listen to her more and had her change the original itinerary, but what she recommended would have been the best by far.

One email, and Melanie had a great vacation set up for us. It was that easy!! What we all need is time, and Melanie lets you spend more time enjoying the vacation and less time worrying about it or planning it.

I called on Melanie about 3 weeks ago because My wife and I needed to make quick plans to get out of town for a much needed vacation. Melanie was very quick and thorough in getting us set up with a trip including air, car & hotel. She listened to what we wanted and put the perfect package together.

Out of curiosity I looked up our trip on Expedia.com. We paid a better price through Melanie at Oyster travel! We were very pleased with that too!

Melanie has been great! She has planned me a wonderful honeymoon. I gave her info on where I wanted to go and when and she put together a great package with day trips and great places to stay. I highly recommend her to anyone planning a trip.

I asked Melanie for assistance with a challenging issue regarding a tour in St. Petersburg, Russia. I was traveling with 8 members of my family and we wanted a private tour with a group visa. Melanie researched the market and followed up relentlessly to ensure we had a flawless tour of St. Petersburg. It could not have been better.

Melanie saved our family many hundreds of dollars on the car rental for our European vacation. She is highly responsive and her follow-through is excellent! I highly recommend her.

Melanie provided prompt response when the first travel agent we tried was too slow for us. Melanie helped us through several iterations of plans. She specializes in travel to Hawaii.

Melanie has been a god send. She does her homework. She has been patient when need be and acts fast when needed. She has been very helpful with our daughters wedding and honeymoon plans and our mini vacations. She even found special deals at hotels before the hotel staff knew about it. We highly recommend her!
