Anniversary trip

I cannot say enough about Laura Bassett and Haute Holidays Travel. They booked the most amazing 20th anniversary celebration for my husband and me, traveling Italy. In Venice, we enjoyed a fabulous champagne gondola ride to an incredible dinner, then to Florence where we traveled out to Tuscany for an amazing cooking class in the vineyards of the Antinori family. We then traveled to Positano and had the most beautiful accommodations, then went to Rome, where we got to take vintage Vespa ride.
Everything was perfect, from the amazing room upgrades, to the spa credit and breakfast all as a part of booking with Haute Holidays! It was well worth it! The transportation between cities was outstanding from the high speed train, to the very knowledgeable, professional and extremely courteous and English speaking drivers in comfortable, luxurious European sedans. All in all, I highly recommend Laura Bassett for your travel needs.

Couples Getaway

Laura was amazing!! We started off thinking we wanted to go to Sonoma/Napa but were open to options. After talking to both my husband and I (separately) for an hour and finding out what we were really looking for in our 1st get-away post-baby, Laura came back with 3 amazing California options. Carmel was never on our bucket list but we are so grateful that Laura showed us the possibility. The best part was that we were truly able to enjoy the vacation without the anxiety and stress of planning it. We saw some of the most amazing views this country has to offer. The destination was an unexpected, surprising, unique adventure that we would not have had without Laura’s guidance. We would definitely recommend her to all of our friends and will be using her for our future travels. I can’t wait to see what’s the next unexpected adventure she sends us on!

Girls Weekend,

Thank you Laura and Haute Holidays for a FABULOUS girls weekend in Vail & Denver! We had such a memorable trip! Undecided on where to stay, Laura suggested we spend the majority of our time in Vail and she was spot on! The town was so picture perfect, the mountain views spectacular, and it provided close access to lots of excursions! She also recommended a great hotel and provided us with the hotel’s event schedule including a complimentary champagne and white chocolate popcorn happy hour!
Part of the attention to detail provided by Laura included a list of restaurants, excursions, and events happening at our destinations! This allowed us to evaluate what our options were and plan an adventurous weekend away! I highly recommend Laura and Haute Holidays for anyone looking to take a memorable trip!

Haute Holidays travel is absolutely amazing! When we decided last-minute to attend a friend’s wedding in Mexico, I was immediately overwhelmed with the logistics of the trip. I called Haute Holidays to see if they could advise me where to start. Laura took a few minutes to make sure she completely understood the details and nature of our trip, then she called her connections and dove into planning the perfect get-away for us. Within a few short hours she had a list of options for us to choose from. She thought of everything we might need or want and kept us completely informed every step of the process. We enjoyed a perfect, relaxing vacation that stayed within our budget.
Laura approaches every vacation as if it were her own, and she does not settle for anything less than the best. Whether it’s a two-week trip of a lifetime or a weekend get-away, Haute Holidays will handle your vacation with precision and passion. You will not find a better travel advisor! Thanks Laura, we’re already looking forward to our next vacation! – Couples Getaway,
HUGE thank you to my friend Laura and her company Haute Holidays Travel for booking our Thanksgiving trip!!! I tried to put together a trip on my own using one of the bajillion travel websites only to become frustrated by the wasted time and energy. One quick email to Laura and she has arranged everything for us!!! She gave us ideas on places we hadn’t even considered. If you are planning any travel, message Laura. She will save you time, energy, and find you a great deal!!!!!!! – Couples Getaway,

– Business Traveler,

The property is amazing. Location outstanding. The staff is outstanding. Highly recommended. Booking through you saved money as well and probably makes them work even harder. Could not be more pleased. Thank you!

Everything was great, and thank you for the welcome gift! The best part of going through you is that we were upgraded to a very nice suite at the Four Seasons. It really was amazing.

– Mother/Daughter getaway,

We had a wonderful time in Laguna. The Ritz was fantastic. I loved the room, the view, the staff, and the food was spectacular. It was the perfect mommy daughter getaway. The little town of Laguna was great too! I will absolutely be in touch the next time we take a trip. You were so helpful and made it so easy.

Families love Hawaii. Couples love Hawaii. But the Families love Hawaii. Couples love Hawaii. But the honeymooners don’t necessarily want to be splashed by kids diving in the pool, ya know what I mean?!🤪 

When I travel, I am ALWAYS thinking about which properties are best fits for which clients. Since most hotels in Hawaii are family-friendly, I look for things that make resorts friendly to romantic getaways as well💙🌺

The old Mauna Lani had one large freeform pool, but the new Auberge @maunalanihawaii has 3 pools! One family-friendly1️⃣, one adults-only2️⃣, and one (just 1.5 foot deep with a sandy bottom) for the littlest keiki3️⃣! So, everyone has their space & place, and I can personally confirm that parents will also love sipping a mai tai while watching their kids run on the adjacent grassy lawn😉🍹💁🏼‍♀️ #hauteholidaystravel #maunalani #alwaysauberge #bigisland #hawaii

Lindblad has just announced the resumption of thei Lindblad has just announced the resumption of their small ship expeditions (96-100 guests max) in Alaska & the Galapagos for THIS SUMMER!! Normally these voyages book 1+ years out.. this is a unique opportunity to plan a trip like this at the last minute!😬 (Also a great time to think about that 2022 bucket list!!) Happy to help with your questions of rates, availability, protocols, etc🙌🏼 

I experienced a Lindblad expedition on the National Geographic Venture in Alaska👆🏼two years ago and cannot highly recommend enough!!!💯 This is for those who want a deeper experience in these destinations- the smaller ships can go places the large ones cannot, like up close with glaciers in a zodiac➡️ But, the Nat Geo specialists on board honestly make the trip. They are the BEST and truly it makes me smile knowing that they get to be back at work, doing what they love!🛳🤗 @lindbladexp #hauteholidaystravel #lindbladexpeditions #nationalgeographicventure #alaska #expeditioncruise

You know when you give your phone to a stranger to You know when you give your phone to a stranger to get a group pic on vacation, and they hold it down real low (noooo.. angles, people!), and then put your head square in the center, cutting you off at the torso??🙅🏼‍♀️ 

Yeah, @flytographer doesn’t do that! We love using this service all over the world to get some professional photos while traveling📸 But on THIS evening on Oahu, the steady wind gusts blew our hair straight up off our heads, threatened to give me a Marilyn moment, and I was nervous..🤣 

Of course @natalieschulte for Flytographer came through with some cute pics anyway! Don’t know how she did it... but she is awesome, if you are traveling to Oahu and need a Flytographer!!👏🏼 (Love this service.. and, @flytographerlife started her biz in 2013, just like me🥳) #hauteholidaystravel #oahu #flytographer #hawaii
Waikiki by day...➡️ or night?🤩 Either way, Waikiki by day...➡️ or night?🤩 Either way, can’t beat the view from an Ocean View room on the top floor of @royal_hawaiian Mailani Tower! Adjacent to the historical building, these rooms feature VIEWS over the iconic Waikiki Beach with Diamond Head at the end🌴

Historical building rooms are also spacious but feature a more traditional style and many have garden views- as the original hotel entrance actually faced in towards a lush palm grove! Apparently, after sailing across the ocean for weeks in the hotel’s early days, the last thing the new guests wanted to look at was the water!🤣 #hauteholidaystravel #waikiki #onlyattheroyal #onlyatmailani #royalhawaiian #oahu
