We just returned from a two week vacation in Ireland. From the initial planning phone call to the choices provided to us, to the detailed plan for our trip, Rachael made sure we got exactly what we wanted.

We live in a time where we have access to unlimited travel booking sites but I’m telling you that choosing “For The Story Vacations” to plan your trip is the best way to travel. Rachael will find experiences that you just can’t find on your own.
— Kiely S.
This was my first experience traveling internationally and to have experts like Rachael and her team help to co-create the solo trip, was exactly what I needed to build confidence to know I could enjoy my adventure.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Having For The Story plan our European vacation this summer was amazing! With everything laid out and pre-arranged, it really took the stress out of everything allowing us to relax and enjoy our trip. We saw some amazing sights in both Switzerland and Italy. Everything just flowed like clock-work, and we always had plenty of time to relax without the days feeling like they were too busy with activities.
— J. Coon
We just returned from our 10 day vacation to Greece. It was, by far, THE BEST vacation I have ever taken. With the guidance of Rachael and her Travel Bible, every single day and evening was planned out for us in great detail. I had "fears" of going so far and not knowing how/when/where to do things (yes, I'm a huge planner). All of the details were perfect and easy to follow - even down to where to meet drivers in a foreign city.
I highly recommend Rachael for her expertise.
— Tod C.
My mom and I could not have planned our first time in Europe without For The Story! Rachael and her team curated a trip that had absolutely everything we had been dreaming of for our Italian summer adventure. We were able to truly live in the moment without the stress and worry of the unknown, or the fear of something going wrong. We had so many "pinch me" moments that we'll cherish that forever!
— Samantha P.
