WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE TRAVEL TIP?

Underpack! Overpacking makes travel feel bulky and difficult, while hopping a bus, plane, or train with just a light roller bag can be liberating! Underpacking also leaves space in your bag for fabulous foreign goodies and decreases the pressure of changing clothes several times a day. I always plan to adventure instead of outfit change.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE DESTINATION TO PLAN?

My (hands down) favorite type of trip to plan is an African safari. Especially for first timers! I remember the absolute magic of my first safari and it really excites me to think about helping someone else have that experience. The best part of planning a safari is that it will always exceed expectations - so I can plan with confidence, knowing that my clients are in for a very special treat.

WHAT RECOMMENDATION WOULD YOU GIVE A COUPLE LOOKING FOR A ROMANTIC GETAWAY?

Experience something special together. My husband and I find that the travel moments we reflect on most are the ones where we've done something really incredible - sunrise hot air ballooning in Morocco, dog sledding in the arctic, game drives in South Africa, skiing under the looming Matterhorn, cooking a meal with the owner of a winery, etc. Beaches and cities are great, I find that nothing bonds you quite like experiencing something incredible together.

TESTIMONIALS

Grace Testimonials

Working with Grace to craft my dream trip to Italy was the best decision I have ever made. She handled it all — from hotels to excursions to transportation. All we had to wasfollow our tailor-made itinerary! I enjoyed my experience so much, she is already helping me plan my next trip.

- Elizabeth, Italy and Ireland

My husband and I have been travelling our entire adult lives, but until Grace Harvey became our travel guru, we never really had fun! Her knowledge of everywhere we want to go – the hotels, restaurants, activities – is incredible. The fact that I recommend her to everyone is a testament to her value to us. She makes every trip we take so special, our memories have become so much a part of our lives now. We treasure them. And her!

- Mike & Louise Bruce, Scotland, Galapagos, Iceland

Grace saved our honeymoon. I had been working with another company to plan our honeymoon but felt unprepared and unheard. I connected with Grace in a panic only a few weeks before our trip to Italy began to fill in missing gaps, complete hotel confirmations, and schedule activities and transfers. She not only did her job with expediency, she far exceeded our expectations with her connections. We met the most magnificent people because of Grace. You should, without a doubt, use Grace to plan your trip - I want you to have an experience as flawless as ours!

- Matt & Tess DiLeo, Italy and France

My husband and I had the most incredible trip to Italy. It was our first time visiting the country, and having Grace as our travel agent made the trip basically seamless. She had a ton of wonderful recommendations and did a great job tailoring our trip to our interests while keeping our budget in mind. I am such a type A planner, and Grace created a simple and comprehensive itinerary that I loved. Communication was constant and efficient from the first email that I sent about our interest in travelling to Italy to questions that I had while we were actually on the trip. We will definitely use Grace and 6 Degrees again in the future!

- Celeste, Italy

Grace Harvey has planned multiple trips for us - including our fantastic Honeymoon - having helped guide us through Spain, Italy, Seychelles and South Africa. Everything she's planned for us has been smooth and seamless, with incredible attention to detail to help put our minds at ease during our travels. We have appreciated her using her firsthand knowledge and the Travel 6 Degrees network to give us recommendations for a variety of multiple (but not overwhelming) options, while at the same time keeping us within our budget and maximizing our experiences in exploring new cities, beach towns, wine tours and safaris! We have recommended Grace to countless friends and colleagues and can't imagine planning an international trip without using her!"

- Mark & Melanie, Europe and Africa

Grace was so amazing to work with - she got our vision from the beginning and completely delivered! We loved every single one of our guides (our favorite was Paulo from our Chianti wine tour) and everything was seamless. We could not be more grateful for her! I have been giving her name out to friends (some which instantly got in touch!) and cannot imagine her not planning the rest of our trips.
