My son and I recently had the pleasure of using several travel guides through the assistance of Allison Owens. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The guides were not only knowledgeable but also very personable, making each location come alive with fascinating stories and historical insights. The tours were well-organized, with a perfect balance between guided exploration and free time to wander. The attention to detail was impeccable, from the seamless transportation to the thoughtfully selected stops that showcased the best of each destination. Whether we were exploring city streets or serene natural landscapes, the guides ensured we got the most out of every moment. I particularly appreciated the insider tips on local restaurants and other hidden gems that we would have otherwise missed on our unguided moments. Allison, you were wonderful deal with and I cannot thank you enough for the way you made the trip effortless.

Thank you so much for caring so much to get us home on time from Scotland,the global travel meltdown could have stranded us, but you were awesome and creative in making it all work so that we were able to get on our scheduled flight... All of the properties were great, and I am glad we took this trip. Lots of good memories.

“After hearing great things about Costa Rica, my husband and I reached out to Allison Owens to help us decide where to go. Thanks to her expertise and understanding of our travel style, we just returned from the trip of a lifetime. From private tours, spa experiences, and incredible dining — Allison handled every detail. The resort she recommended was perfect in every way, with exceptional service, unforgettable meals, and world-class amenities. We can’t wait to return — either to explore more of Costa Rica or revisit the exact same resort. Allison nailed it.”

“Everything was absolutely amazing — the resort, the island, the food, the beaches — all of it exceeded our expectations! We especially loved the beachfront dinner and the snorkeling boat tour; both were unforgettable experiences. Thank you for the lovely surprise in our room — such a thoughtful touch that made us feel truly special. And most of all, thank you for handling every detail of our trip so seamlessly. We couldn't have done it without you!”

I want to take a minute to tell you about my friend Allison Wisener Owens and her travel business, Oh The Places Travel! I wanted this trip to be perfect and I had no idea how to pull it off. She did everything for me! I got great flights, the perfect room on the ship, and I never felt like I didn’t know what to expect. She booked me hotels in Athens that were reasonable and in safe neighborhoods. How would I have known? I can’t recommend her enough!

After my wife’s decade-long recovery from brain surgery, we were finally ready to travel again. I turned to Allison Owens, who spent weeks thoughtfully planning our first big trip. She listened to our concerns, eased our jitters, and arranged everything—first-class flights, ground transfers, spa and dining reservations, an oceanfront room, even a detailed itinerary with a packing list. The trip was seamless, and when we returned, my wife said, “Call Allison for our next vacation.” We won’t travel again without her.
