I have never used a travel agent before. How does it work?

From beginning to end, I work with you to design the perfect trip based on your travel style and budget. I have a simple 3 step process that begins with a consultation to get to know more about your trip and travel style. You will receive a proposal of the vacation package with details customized to your specific needs, and then the last step is for you to give me the go okay to book your trip once all the details are finalized.

Do You Plan Other Destinations Besides Europe?

Although much of my business is focused on European destinations, I value my client relationships and realize Europe will not always be their next vacation destination. As a experienced travel agent that has booked everywhere from Asia to Africa to the Caribbean and beyond, my training on products and destinations worldwide has always been important to provide a high level of service for all of my clients. Because of this and my professional connections around the world, I am pleased to offer vacation planning services beyond Europe. 

Do You Offer Travel Insurance in Your Packages?

Absolutely! Travel insurance is a very complex product and over 95% of my clients opt to protect their vacation investment by selecting a policy that is right for them. Since each trip has different terms and conditions and every client has personal coverage needs, I provide individual travel insurance recommendations tailored to clients.

Yes! Most suppliers offer varying deposit requirements, with the final payment due 45-90 days before travel. Personalized payment plans can be designed to work best for your budget.

How Far In Advance Can I Book My Trip?

This will greatly depend on the type of trip you are looking to book. For cruise vacations, sailing dates are typically released 2 years in advance. Airfare does not get released until 11 months prior to your travel dates. In the case of hotels and tours, these types of travel elements can be typically be booked 1 year in advance.
