I have been a travel agent for over 24 years and during that time, I have assisted clients with everything from a trip to Disneyland to a very complex trip of 21 days around England, Scotland and Ireland. I listen to your travel needs and can advise you and make reservations for you on a package that might include transportation and hotels to cruises. I can make arrangements for private sightseeing or simple airport pickup. Or train reservations from Paris to Barcelona/ a European River Cruise with extras like private guides in Budapest or Prague.
My specialty is travel within Europe including the British Isles (where I was born and raised) but I also handle trips to Hawaii, Mexico and domestic destinations. Also, I love assisting groups – both the planning and escorting – whether it is a group cruising or escorting a group of teens to Paris and the Normandy beaches!
What does this cost you? Generally nothing! We get paid by the cruise lines, hotels, tour companies etc., so we are anxious to make sure all goes well with you. In the unlikely event that there is a problem along the way, I will fight, for you my client, to make sure all is resolved! You only have to check the Sunday paper to realize that the internet sites are often little help! Customer Service is my number 1 priority! I only deal with reputable companies that can be relied upon! The same companies that I have been using for most of my career in travel.
I can supply several references from local Corbett people who have used my services. So for your next vacation – contact me and let me assist you!
