“The best word I can use to describe my experience with Christine and Partenza Travel is PERFECT.
Traveling during Covid makes everything complicated. Rules change unexpectedly and there are countless unknowns unfolding. Christine was always two steps ahead of us. Recommending the perfect restaurants to be able to accommodate outdoor dining, negotiating the impossible reservation at the hottest spots and calling ahead to make sure every accommodation included a special touch.
She helped navigate the easiest ways to travel during one of the craziest times. I actually can’t imagine doing it without her!! So with that, we are excited to plan our next trip with her at the helm! Thank you Christine for being our travel angel! Looking forward to the next adventure!!”

“Christine and I connected when I saw she launched Partenza Travel! We had met originally through work, and shared a deep love of travel and adventure! Hearing her passion and excitement for launching her new business I was immediately excited to work with her on my upcoming European Adventure! Making the hard decision to travel abroad during a pandemic was not easy, but Christine was there every step of the way to calm any anxiety, and expertly helped to manage any necessary changes, or complicated travel arrangements! To be clear, traveling during these CRAZY times and uncertainty would NOT have been possible without her! Now to the fun parts, we explored parts of Greece I had not seen before thanks to her advice and on-site expertise! We had TOP of the line, 5 star hotels including amazing and delicious in room gift baskets, wine, and fruit! Which, after a long day of travel, was amazing to see as a fun surprise! Everything was spectacular-including the free upgrades only she was able to get us! In addition to planning every needed transfer, ferry ride, etc, Christine took things a step further, and acted as a concierge to help us discover new and exciting excursions, culinary adventures, and even better, off the beaten path cafes, and shopping!! If there was ever a need for on-site assistance, Christine’s team is in every location to help! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Partenza Travel, Christine and her team are my absolute GO-TO’s for ANY upcoming adventure ahead!”

ITALY
FLORENCE, ROME & VENICE
“Christine went above and beyond planning our dream honeymoon. She took care of everything starting with our flights, transportation, luxurious hotel, the most local/non-turiousity food recommendations and all the must see sights. She arranged a photographer and transportation that took us all over Florence to get wedding photos, after a small private ceremony we had there. She also scheduled a day trip of wine tasting – and arranged for our transportation and wineries. We were able to visit a number of beautiful wineries and smaller cities. She was available for recommendations throughout our trip and was extremely helpful. She really helped take the stress out of planning and covered everything we were looking for.”

“I took the trip of a lifetime to Italy and Christine arranged the entire three weeks of travel. Her connections enabled us to stay in luxury hotels, take fabulous day trips, eat in delicious authentic non touristy restaurants and her shopping suggestions were the best. Her attention to detail was amazing. Plus, she was available to us during the trip to make suggestions and answer questions. Since I had never been there before her ideas were both appreciated and perfect. The trip exceeded our expectations. She really listened to us and we are so grateful that we were able to work with her!”

“Christine, from Partenza Travel, organized my last trip to Israel and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. The trip was well-planned and functioned perfectly and our hotels were even better than I had expected. She was very friendly and attentive to our needs, including arranging experiences when unexpected opportunities arose. I look forward to my next trip which I will absolutely book through Partenza Travel.”

“I wanted to go to the Dominican Republic for a week and stay at one of the all inclusive resorts. I talked with Christine and she was able to find the perfect resort for me. She made all the arrangements for airport transportation, reserved a luxurious room with tons of amenities and got all of the passes I needed. Without her help, I would have been lost as to which resort to select but she knew right away which one was perfect for me. I cannot wait to work with her again!”

CABO SAN LUCAS
“We wanted to spend the holidays in Cabo San Lucas and Christine and her team found just the right place for us. Our accommodations were perfect with several bedrooms, a kitchenette, a jacuzzi and a fabulous view of the harbor. Plus, they arranged for luxury airport transportation, dinner reservations at a variety of popular restaurants and even rented the cabanas! They made our trip so easy for us and we had a wonderful time.”

SPAIN
SAN SEBASTIAN, MADRID, SEVILLA & COSTA DEL SOL
“Recently, Christine helped us book a truly unforgettable trip to Spain that included stops in San Sebastian, Madrid, Sevilla and Costa Del Sol. Christine took the time to understand what we were looking for on a vacation and came up with a custom itinerary that allowed us to see everything we wanted to without feeling like we were rushing from one city to the next. She took care of everything including itinerary planning, booking accommodations and rental cars, and making reservations for us at the top restaurants and clubs in each city. She went out of her way to plan every little detail like where to stop in Burgos, a very small medieval town, to get an authentic meal on our road trip from Madrid to San Sebastian and spending the day clubbing at Nikki Beach in Marbella. Christine took all of the stress out of planning our vacation so all we had to do was show up and have fun!”

“I have worked with Christine and the Partenza Travel team a few times, most recently last year on a trip to Greece with my wife and 14 month old daughter. Traveling through Greece, in the busy hot summer months with an infant, can be a challenge in itself, but Partenza did a phenomenal job of coordinating absolutely everything; flights, ferries, excellent lodging accommodations (5-star hotels in Athens & Mykonos to Villas in Crete). Because we were traveling with a little one, they made sure to think of everything possible to ensure a smooth and stress free vacation. They handled childcare, VIP reservations, provided local handy info such as grocery store locations, closest hospital, etc. I would highly recommend the Partenza team to any friends and family and look forward to working with them again (once we are no longer banned from traveling the world!)”
