What people are saying

Sasha managed our entire African trip itinerary down to every last detail. When the world shut down in 2020, she managed all the postponements and cancellation that needed to happen. One of the lodges originally booked had closed permanently and she was continuously in communication with the property to ensure our deposit was refunded. We look forward to traveling to Africa in the future and know Sasha will take amazing care of us!”

A busy schedule had me scrambling to put together a last minute trip to Las Vegas with friends. Realizing it was too much to take on, I enlisted the help of Sasha. She blew me away from our first conversation. She flawlessly managed every detail of our vacation. We arrived in Vegas in the morning and needed to check into our hotel six hours early. Upon arrival at VIP check in we found Sasha had arranged with the hotel for our rooms to be ready and waiting for us. Booking with VDB Curated Travel we were greeted with countless upgrades every step of the way! All of our rooms were upgraded to king suites, $100 spa credit per person, $75 per person per day food credit, 4 hour late check out, the list goes on and on!

Sasha helped us find a hotel for our recent trip to downtown Chicago – we had a budget but weren’t exactly sure what where we wanted to be in the city. She provided us lots of options and the pros/cons to each neighborhood. She made the process seamless, and the bonus was…we LOVED our hotel!! It was exactly what we needed. Thank you Sasha!

Theresa & Ryan
My husband and I recently went on a 3-week trip to Africa, our first African experience, and we were clueless and overwhelmed when we started thinking about this trip. However, Sasha’s expertise and planning skills made it so easy and seamless. When you’re dealing with multiple countries, air/land transfers, activities and excursions, it’s imperative to have someone guide you who who truly gets how things will go. Sasha really understood what our trip goals were and took the reins. We trusted her experience and she delivered a trip perfectly tailored to us. 1000% would I recommend her services. In fact, I already have!

Working with VDB Curated Travel was a fantastic experience. We had to pivot locations due to unforeseen circumstances and VDB helped us find the perfect off the beaten path trip for our specifications. Our vacation experience was unique and immersed us in the nature and culture of Scotland. We left with a life long friend in our guide and feel enlightened by our travels. Can't wait to book our next trip.

John Derryberry
Sasha organized a “Redwoods & Wine” tour for us in Northern California. From San Francisco we took tours to Yosemite & Muir Woods and then moved to Sonoma. In Sonoma we did walking historical tours & winery tours. All of the tours were excellent with great guides. We recommend Sasha to our friends—she’s responsive, friendly & super organized.

Jill Bale
Sasha was wonderful in assisting us with our honeymoon planning! My husband and I are indecisive people, but also had never traveled abroad and she gave us plenty of options, while also being super flexible making adjustments! I even extended our trip a few days which resulted in her needing to change some reservations around which she did with ease. She was also understanding of our wants to have an open schedule and did not push any additional tours/excursions unless we requested information on them. Would highly recommend her for any trip!!

Vanessa Iorio
I used VDB Curated Travel’s services for my first time traveling internationally to Thailand. From the very beginning of planning VDB had the best communication and really took the time to make my vacation exactly how I pictured it. Fast responses, answered all of my questions thoroughly, planned a complete two week tour including flights, hotels, and rides. I was absolutely blown away by how easy and smooth they made the process. I will definitely be using VDB’s services for future trips, I cannot recommend Sasha enough!
