Testimonials

“Melissa created more than just a vacation for our family....she created an amazing, dream vacation to Greece that was based on our desires for a blend of culture, history, and beautiful beaches. Every step of our trip was well thought out and taken care of. The hotels were lovely, the excursions were fantastic, and she had every travel detail planned out. We didn't have to worry about anything on our trip...everything went well. It was truly a seamless experience. I would strongly recommend working with Melissa to help you create your next dream vacation!”

Greece | Highschool Graduation Celebration

“All I can say is trust your trip to Melissa and just enjoy the journey!!! We had a complicated list of trip objectives and Melissa curated the most amazing trip for us. We had never traveled to Costa Rica, and we had 3 vacations in one: (1) travel to watch our college daughter play soccer matches in the city of San Jose (2) celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary (3) send our 18-year-old daughter, and friend to a "safe place" for their graduation trip separate from the parents. Melissa listened and took the time to understand our preferences and she literally took care of EVERYTHING! We didn't have to worry about a thing- she booked flights and amazing resorts and private drivers and private tours that were so much fun. In addition to the soccer games in San Jose, she had us visiting the Volcano area of Arenal and then the Pacific Coast beaches. We hiked to waterfalls, saw exotic animals, walked over hanging bridges, and zip-lined through the rainforest. She pulled together a perfect blend of activities with just the right amount of downtime by the beach/ pool / hot springs. She understood that our wedding anniversary was important to us and booked the most romantic week for us that we will truly never forget. She added so many special touches along the way (ie champagne/goodies at check-in). What started as a soccer trip transformed into one of our top family memories of all time. Don't hesitate- just do it! ”

Costa Rica | 30th Wedding Anniversary

“Had such an amazing vacation in Greece! After Naxos we went to Paros, Antiparos, Crete, and then finished in Athens. Loved the beautiful blue/green/turquoise water, gorgeous beaches, unique vibe of each island, the history and…..the FOOD! Such delicious food 😋. Here are a few of my favorite pictures along with some videos of the fam cliff jumping!

Many thanks to Luxury Experiences by Melissa. Melissa Freel Lange made our experience smooth, seamless, and just what we wanted. She thought of every last detail!”

Greece | Family Summer Vacation

“Just wanted to let you know that we had the greatest time ever in Jamaica! Everything was absolutely perfect….from the transportation to the resorts to all the excursions. Every driver and guide was right on time and so friendly and welcoming. You really listened to what we were looking for, and you knocked it out of the park! Your attention to detail really made all the difference!

We just want to send you a HUGE thank you for setting everything up and taking such good care of us through the process. Our grandkids were so sad the day we left for home…..We all wanted to stay longer!”

Jamaica | Multi-Gen Family Vacation

“Melissa planned the bucket list trip of a lifetime for my dad and me to attend The 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon in Scotland. Not only did she gather our wish list of items and make them all happen, but she added everything needed to make it possible for my Dad to make the trip and surprises we did not even expect! It started with door-to-door service that made it seamless for my Dad to get through the large airports of San Francisco, changes at Heathrow, and whisk us through security & customs at every stop.

We began our adventure at the home of golf, St. Andrews, staying at the Old Course Hotel and a room right on the world-famous 17th "Road" hole. We enjoyed walks along the 17th and 18th holes in the mornings and captured a memorable photo on the iconic Swilken Bridge. The service and meals at the hotel's Road Hole restaurant and the local eateries were exceptional, with everything set up. All we had to do was show up. Our journey continued at the Trump Turnberry Hotel, where we celebrated our 55th and 88th birthdays all week long. On the nights of our birthday, we even received specialized desserts - of course, mine with my favorite Oreo cookies and vanilla ice cream and where we were also serenaded by the entire dining room. We were picked up and dropped off at the entrance to The Open, which made all the difference. We spent the week in the VIP hospitality suite with preferred seating in the grandstands, gourmet food, a meet-and-greet with a European tour champion and Ryder Cup Captain, and even a photo with the iconic Claret Jug!

My dad and I will always cherish and remember this incredible trip. Thank you, Melissa!”
