REVIEWS

"ROSE, THANK YOU, for doing such a great job for us!!!! The drivers were punctual, polite, entertaining and always there when needed. The hotels were exquisite, and could not have been improved in anyway. I can only speak for myself, you helped make my Sicilian Girls Trip a real winner, stress free, which means a lot under such challenging traveling circumstances🥰"

Why Use a Travel Advisor

Your travel advisor is dedicated to you, will answer questions, customize vacations, monitor prices, schedule or itinerary changes, and always provide you with valuable information for your vacation. Our travel advisors save you time by saving you from fruitless and frustrating internet searches; and make sure your travel dollars are handled with the very best of care by well-vetted, financially secure travel partners.

Vacation

Here are just a few ways we can ease the process of planning your next vacation:

  1. We Get to Know You – Unlike the average travel booking website or automated phone system, we will take the time to get to know you and your family, making sure your vacation is perfectly tailored to your needs. As experts, we can offer you knowledge and firsthand experience, but just as importantly, you will enjoy our exclusive offers and the satisfaction of getting the best value for your vacation. No cookie-cutter, run-of-the-mill travel package, we will craft the perfect, customized vacation for you.
  2. We Are Your Travel Advocate – As your advocate, we not only know your preferences before you go, but have the know-how to anticipate your needs, solve problems while you’re traveling and be here for you on your return.  We watch over every part of the trip, from juggling flight snafus, entry requirements and other hiccups.  We also help when plans change for all the right reasons like extending your stay. Trusting a travel advisor on your trip is critical, as they are there to advise you, and that’s exactly what we do. We advise and share recommendations. This is an investment and not an expense. Our expertise is used to your advantage.
  3. We Use Our Resources and Connections:  Thanks to our worldwide partnerships, we can create that one-of-a-kind travel experience just for you. We can give you access to exclusive perks only available through us.
Do you have to have a big budget to work with a Travel Advisor? 

The short answer is… No. If you consider travel an investment in life and you value the experiences and memories that travel brings, then you will find great value in working with a travel advisor. This investment gains you access to potential upgrades, credits, amenities and a richer experience.
