Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use a travel advisor?
Even in the age of online booking, travel advisors are a great source of information and helping you navigate the best value. A travel advisor can make sure that your trip is tailored to you, assist you in case of unexpected problems, and help you anticipate potential issues in advance. My travel agency uses vetted travel companies and I have 25 years of booking and personal travel experience to point you in the right direction.
Will I pay more if I book through a travel agency?
Travel Advisors are paid a commission after your travel is complete, but it doesn't add anything to your cost to use our services. The price, for example, of a cruise or hotel that you see online is the same cost to book it with a travel advisor- but you are able to use our expertise on narrowing down the options and arranging the additional services required. In the case of international itinerary planning, I do charge a planning fee. Our fees are transparent. In many cases, you save more than you spend because we know the best suppliers to use and can save you hours of research. We can work within your budget, and we always focus on making sure that you get a solid value.
Do you book group travel?
Yes! I love planning family reunions and large multi-generational family trips. Let me handle all the details, and also be the point person, for large family groups and save yourself the hassle!
