Postcards From The Road
Wandrists in the Wild
-
Once again The Wandrist created a fabulous travel experience. The hotels were top notch, every detail was considered from meals to tours. Pamela's genius is listening to what her clients are looking for and then delivering beyond expectation.
— The Laska Family, Barcelona, San Sebastian, Porto + Lisbon

The itinerary and Pamela Murphy's care as we were on our trip was above and beyond. She is a credit to her profession.
— Alex Guaranschelli, Vienna, Amsterdam + Paris

Everything really exceeded our expectations. The granular planning and notes for us like when we needed to leave for things we were driving ourselves to was much appreciated and took any guess work out of things. Having all the on the ground logistics fully handled with easy contacts for us to confirm or communicate any details directly with drivers was excellent. More importantly the piece of mind of knowing that we were going to get exactly what we expected when we checked-in to a hotel with no surprises on the configuration or amenities was huge for us as traveling with children doesn't always allow for much flexibility on these things. Overall we were extremely happy and felt that Pam more than paid for herself in expertise, logistical support, and guidance along the way.
— McKenzie Russo, Rome + Perugia

Everything was perfect. Pam listened really carefully to meet our crazy needs, everything was timely, really helpful, and so patient!! Restaurant recommendations were great, the whole trip exceeded our expectations

Let me tell you about Pam, our travel advisor extraordinaire who masterfully curated a trip to Mexico City for my family that was simply outstanding. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Pam's expertise of the city's vibrant culture, food, art, and architecture was second to none. She orchestrated an itinerary that flawlessly blended the must-see attractions with hidden gems, ensuring that our exploration of Mexico City was an immersive and unforgettable experience. Pam's expertise, attention to detail, and passion for creating an immersive experience made our trip to Mexico City truly remarkable. Her ability to curate an itinerary that perfectly balanced food, art, and architecture left us with incredible memories that will last a lifetime. If you're looking for a travel advisor who will meticulously plan a well-rounded and culturally enriching journey, Pam is the one to turn to. She exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to work with her again for our next adventure.

Pam exceeded expectations, and I had some pretty high expectations. She is exactly what you want in your travel consultant. First and foremost is her knowledge of Paris -- from where to stay, to where to eat to what to do. Excellent recommendations for all of those. (Though we might have to argue about the escargots. Pam said her favorite were at Le Comptoir. Our favorite were at Cafe Varenne!!) Second was Pam's responsiveness to our requests. She got us all the museum tickets we wanted and, working with our hotel concierge, got us all the dinner reservations we wanted. That included a reservation at Frenchie, which is almost impossible to make on your own!!
— Stuart Nayman, Paris

This was my first time using a travel advisor to plan a trip, but it won't be the last. Because I'm used to planning my own personal and work travel, I was worried about handing that over to someone else. However, Pam asked a ton of questions and presented various options for every hotel, tour, experience, etc. I felt like I had a lot of input while someone else far more qualified than me was actually handling the logistics. I haven't taken a proper vacation in several years, so it was a relief to relax a bit and know that an expert was curating this incredible experience for me. Also, Pam's level of responsiveness and organization was incredible. Having all of the trip details in the app was so helpful and made the entire experience feel professional and seamless. I can't wait for my next trip!
— Trisha Weiss, Florence + Rome

Working with Pam and Fora was a wonderful experience. Loved the hotels in Barcelona and San Sebastian. Transfers were great - and all tickets were easy to access. Communication and responsiveness was a gold start. Local tour group Adler Morrow was very responsive and helpful. All in all - A++++
— Eve Karasik, Madrid, Barcelona + San Sebastian

Pam's hotel selection was superb and spot on! I was intent on finding a special yet PARTICULAR hotel for this trip to celebrate my mom and I. Many thanks to Pam she lead us to the J.K. Place which is a special gem and was exactly what we were looking for and MORE for this travel experience. She found us a new HOME away from home, in Paris!
— Pamela Newman, Paris

Pam was very detailed and thoughtful about our itinerary. She offered great suggestions and insights. We will use her again!
— Holly Parmelee, Tuscany, Porto Ercole + Rome

We had an amazing trip to Mexico City. Everything was so well planned and the suggestions were perfect and the tour guides for our special days were interesting, engaging, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Restaurants were all delicious! We loved working with Pam!
— Kathryn Eisberg, Mexico City

You suggested The One and Only in Montenegro when I mentioned that we needed to go to a party in Dubrovnik. That never would have occurred to me and it turned out to be a fabulous suggestion. Planning the trip was easy. Our communication was seamless and your responsiveness was excellent. You were also very helpful when we encountered bumps in the road from our airline. Your overall service and the hotel lived up to our expectations and then some.
— Glenn Finn, Montenegro + Dubrovnik

I recently had the pleasure of working with the exceptional Pamela Schein Murphy and I cannot recommend her enough. From start to finish, her level of professionalism, attention to detail, and personalized service made our travel experience seamless and enjoyable. Pamela ensured that every aspect of our trip was taken care of from recommending restaurants and arranging reservations to coordinating all transportation details.
— Lisa Heiman, Riviera Maya

Where do I start?? At the beginning of the trip i guess....who knew that a VIP meet and greet to make a tight connection was even a thing? Not only did Fausto- the owner of the company- meet us at our gate and guide us through the airport but he had already collected our boarding passes for the new flight we were on after an 8 hour delay from the US! I'm not sure how I will ever travel without a VIP meet and greet ever again ;). At each hotel we were met with notes and amenities all thanks to you and when our room in Rome was not ready when we arrived (early and before check in time) the concierge bought us drinks at the bar. For anyone who thinks they don't need a travel advisor I say you're wrong!
— Malia Stevens, Calabria

From hotels to reservations to excursions Pam thought of everything. Nothing was ordinary! The hotels were wonderful with great staff who really took care us. The art tour at La Coste was incredible!
— Susan Thomson, Aix-en-Provence + Paris

Pam is extremely detail-oriented, organized and always magically executes the perfect travel experience. She's thorough and attentive while allowing room for my own suggestions and ideas. Pam always curates a unique trip suited for one's personality and preferences. Pam is on the ball, communicative and always armed with fresh ideas. She is a delight to work with!
— Gabrielle Palay, Nice

Pam Murphy curated an absolutely beautiful Greek adventure for our family. From the perfectly selected boutique hotels on the Aegean Sea, to the unique and memorable day experiences (like a private sail boat trip on the coast of Mykonos!), to the flavorful local restaurants, every detail and nuance was perfect. The vacation was fluid and easy, with her team always ready to make an immediate adjustment or new recommendation. We will definitely be working with Pam and her team at Fora for the next travel adventure!
— Aaron + Brigette Lubin, Greece
-
Everything on the ground was organized flawlessly, making for a very seamless trip!! The Ryokan was a highlight - excellent recommendation. The context tours were great. I recommend doing the more niche tours than the "tour of tokyo" ones... for example, the architecture one was FANTASTIC. An amazing way to see the city with a slightly more focused topic.
— Shane Kleinstein, Japan
-
[Pam is] just the best person and travel advisor! Perfect combination of warmth and humor plus just absolute seamless execution. Best recommendations, so knowledgeable and reliable. Looking forward to many more vacations planned with you!
— Selene Milano, Amalfi Coast, Ischia + Rome

Everything was excellent from the very first day and that was 8 months prior to our trip. All tours that were set up were top notch as were the transportation services that were arranged - you really nailed exactly what we were looking for and exceeded our expectations. Super appreciated you even checking in on us multiple times during the trip (like when you saw that a restaurant reservation was canceled - you were making sure that everything was ok.)
— William Donovan, London, Paris + Barcelona
-
Palm Heights was the exact experience I hoped it would be. It like Pam read my mind and completely understood what we were looking for. We wanted something kind of specific: beautiful beach, high end hotel but low-key vibe without a "scene." Palm Heights exceeded our expectations! Pam also went above and beyond in arranging cars, meals, and even leaving a lovely note for us at the hotel when we arrived. I've already told my friends to book their next trip with Pam!
— Joie Jager-Hyman, Grand Cayman

Pamela helped engineer one of the most epic experiences of our lifetime – a week in Sicily and a week in Greece where we learned how to shop and then cook a meal in Palermo – walked ancients walls of Taormina and enjoyed Italian opera, climbed an active volcano at Mt Etna, ate fish for lunch in Milos that was swimming earlier in the day, swam in the blue lagoons of Paros, walked along the Parthenon in Athens and soaked up wonderful sun, surf, food, culture, and time together. Her help with planning, suggestions, timing, travel logistics, hotel recommendations and on the ground connections made the trip fantastic. We look forward to working with Pam on our next adventure.
— Mark Laska + Yael Ridberg, Palermo, Taormina, Milos, Paros and Athens

We would highly recommend Pam - she planned a spectacular trip for us. We loved that we did not have to think about anything once we got there. Every driver was booked, every time we needed to be ready laid out on our itinerary, and we could just relax and enjoy. The trip was the perfect combination of hitting all of the must-sees, plus getting off of the beaten path and doing things we never would have found. The restaurant recs were 10/10 and we loved the special touch of each private tour / activity. We felt like insiders everywhere we went, especially in Ischia - a true hidden gem and a destination we had not even heard of prior to meeting Pam!
— Lizzie Yoss, Ischia, Positano + Tuscany

This is the 2nd time Pam has planned our trip. First off, she is wonderful human and she is without a doubt the most talented travel advisor I have ever used. We never had a dull day or a bad meal. It was another magical vacation. She is a joy to work with, she cares a great deal about her clients (there was a sweet note from Pam in our hotel room upon arrival,) she is detail oriented, open to collaboration, super knowledgeable, she provides access to an app with your specific itinerary which is easy to use and so very helpful and she makes travel so fun and easy. To sum up: Pam plans the most incredible vacations so hire Pam today for a memorable holiday away. You will not regret it.
