Where they really shine is when things don't go as planned—whether it's lost luggage, a missed flight, or unexpected travel issues while overseas, Veronica is there to help when you need it most. Having someone in your corner during stressful situations is invaluable. I highly recommend Veronica and her team for all your travel planning needs!

I recently took a vacation using Veronica Wold at Effortless Travel. She was wonderful!! I was a little nervous because I never met her and we did all our planning on line or on the phone. I shouldn’t have been. She was very professional and created such a wonderful vacation for us in Rome. The guide she contracted with in Rome was amazing. He was a PhD in history and was so knowledgeable, personable, and kind. He was able to get tickets to all the top sites and we skipped every line. Veronica’s connections there were great! The hotel she picked for us (the Grand Hotel Palace) was centrally located — near Trevie fountain, near Bourghesi Park, and near great restaurants. We spent a week in Rome and Veronica made sure it was a vacation never to forget. She called ahead at the hotel to make sure they welcomed us with champagne, fruit, and wonderful hospitality. My husband and I had the best vacation and so much of it was because of Veronica’s great planning. We will definitely use her services again wherever we travel.
