Hi, I’m Lisa Rees, the heart and mind behind Custom Travel by Lisa. My passion for travel goes far beyond simply booking trips—I believe in crafting experiences that connect people to the world and to each other.

 

With years of personal travel adventures and professional expertise, I’ve made it my mission to take the stress out of vacation planning so you can focus on creating unforgettable memories.

Whether it’s a romantic honeymoon, a multi-generational family trip, or a solo bucket-list adventure, I specialize in designing personalized itineraries tailored to your unique preferences.

 

My commitment to you is simple: to handle every detail with care and precision, ensuring your journey is as seamless and stress-free as possible.

When I’m not helping clients plan their dream vacations, you’ll likely find me exploring new destinations myself, gathering firsthand knowledge to make your experience extraordinary. 

 

Let’s make your next adventure unforgettable!

Real Stories From Travelers

Allison

June 2025

Lisa was awesome to work with. She patiently worked with us (and our group) through every step of our trip. From the initial planning, looking at flights, sharing experiences from people who have been there, making phone calls on our behalf to confirm something or to ask a question and finally answering our many, many questions. We don't travel often so we felt like we were in good hands.

Our recent trip was absolutely wonderful, thanks to Lisa Rees’ professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care. From the start, she took the time to understand our preferences and budget, offering perfectly tailored options and guiding us through every decision with patience and expertise. The booking process was seamless, with all flights, accommodations, and logistics handled efficiently. Her thorough pre-trip materials and thoughtful follow-up made the experience stress-free from beginning to end. We highly recommend Lisa to anyone seeking a smooth, expertly planned, and truly enjoyable travel experience.

Lisa put together a great tour. The words that come to mind are beautiful and informative with a lot of variety. We walked through old European cities and towns, saw some beautiful natural features including a cave, waterfalls, mountains and the Adriatic Sea! We also learned a great deal about the history of the countries. It was an awesome experience. Go if you can!!!

This trip was packed full of scenery- fortified cities- good food and drink and unique experiences! The bus was comfortable and clean - driver was excellent. Our local tour guide provided great historical prospective and in depth knowledge of the various cultures and politics of these regions.It was a manageable and fun group ! We had one small glitch - Lisa worked with the local guide to make the necessary changes - we were grateful for her intervention. We saw alot in a short period of time- definitely will go back to island hop around Croatia. The trip lived up to its itinerary- would book another trip with Lisa for sure!

Our travel agent, Lisa Rees, practically worked a miracle getting our trip to the Azores scheduled on very short notice. We needed five flights, three hotels and three rental cars on three different islands for our trip. Lisa arranged exactly the trip we envisioned and all our reservations worked out perfectly. We will definitely be using Lisa's services again!

Lisa Rees, our travel consultant, was great to work with. She was always available for any questions or concerns we had and was extremely responsive. She provided us with a packet of all the information (itinerary, tickets, etc.) well in advance of our trip and even met with us in person to discuss our upcoming travel plans. As an extra special touch, there was a personal welcome note and a box of chocolates when we arrived at the hotel. I would recommend Lisa to anyone planning a vacation!

Having Lisa Rees plan our trip to 3 different countries was more than wonderful! Everyone of our questions were answered, some plans were revised & contact with Lisa was kept throughout our 4 month planning period. Lisa arranged everything from our plane tickets, hotels, castle tours & train passes. We did not have to contact anyone & enjoyed an stress-free vacation. 1 have recommended Lisa to several friends & will continue to do so. Thank you Lisa Rees!!!!

Lisa at Custom Travel by Lisa is amazing. I have been using them for many years and I’m always impressed with their professionalism and genuine interest in exactly what each and every traveler wants and needs. Our most recent vacation was Royalton Bavaro in Punta Cana. Lisa assisted us every step of the way and made sure all of our preferences and questions were addressed and communicated.
