What Past Guests Have To Say About Salt & Wind Travel
We come highly recommended! Read what our past client have to say about us:
PRIVATE MEXICO CITY TRIP PLANNING
“Salt & Wind Travel’s Kristen hooked us up! Living in the destination of Mexico City meant Kristen was able to connect us with amazing local guides and unique activities.
On our first full day, we had a fantastic time walking around and eating our way through the city with our private guide. The culinary tour took us to super tasty hole-in-the-wall places so that we could really feel and eat like locals. From the special sorbets to the restaurant with no name, the flavors of the city were incredible.
The team handpicked impeccable accommodations for us in the city and arrange for excursions outside of the city. If you're considering Mexico City as your next vacation, these are the people to make it happen!”
-Tanner K.
PRIVATE BARCELONA ITINERARY PLANNING
“I am so thankful I found the ladies at Salt & Wind Travel! They helped to create a personalized trip itinerary for our vacation to Barcelona, Spain complete with walking tour ideas and an incredible list of restaurants. I felt that their price points were fair and the value added to our trip was worth every penny!”
-Alyssa W.
PRIVATE SPAIN ITINERARY PLANNING
“We LOVED working with S&W! They suggested amazing under-the-radar restaurants and experiences, and helped us make the most of the time we had to visit different parts of Spain and really see as much of the culture, food and drink as possible. My husband and I both work full time and have a young child (hence the need for a vacation) and we never could have devoted the time to plan a trip as amazing as this one.
THANK YOU!”
-Hannah & Jay
PRIVATE ROME VACATION PLANNING
“All I can say is "magical"! Salt & Wind planned the most incredible experience for our family. We had a limited amount of time in Rome and wanted to make sure we prioritized the must-see destinations.
All of the recommendations were spot on from restaurants to accommodations and especially the Vespa tour where we had a customized experience with private guides to see the historical sites and were able to immerse ourselves in the Roman culture.
I highly recommend Salt and Wind Travel to help plan your next adventure!”
-Sasha C.
PRIVATE MEXICO WINE COUNTRY TRIP PLANNING
“I selected Salt & Wind Travel to plan my birthday weekend in Valle de Guadalupe Mexico. Aida and team did an amazing job selecting the perfect combination of lodging, wineries, and restaurants. Everything was spot on and my group of six loved every moment. I can't wait to book another trip with Salt & Wind Travel.”
-Melissa K.
PRIVATE HAWAII VACATION PLANNING
“Salt & Wind Travel is a top notch travel partner. We worked closely with Aida to plan our family vacation to Hawaii in August 2021. A couple of things which really stood out for me - the personal level of planning and detail; ability to customize a travel plan based on our needs and likes; "on the mark" recommendations on hotels, restaurants and activities; and checking in on us and helping while we were in Hawaii.
In addition, Aida and the team were on top of the changing covid restrictions and requirements for travel. I really appreciated that. Will definitely be back for our next vacation.”
-Anthony C.
