Why work with a travel advisor?

​As a frequent traveler, you may have often found yourself wondering whether you REALLY need to use a travel advisor. With the rise of online booking websites and travel apps, it’s no surprise that many people believe that they can plan a vacation on their own. However, the truth is that using a travel advisor can provide you with a number of benefits that you simply can't get when planning a trip by yourself.

Some of the top reasons why you might consider using a travel advisor for your next trip:

1. Expertise and Knowledge.
​
One of the most significant advantages of using a travel advisor is our wealth of expertise and knowledge. Travel advisors have years of experience helping clients plan experience, knowledge of destinations and personal relationships with professional partners on the ground where you visit. We have a deep understanding of unique places to visit, the best times to go, and the top things to see and do in each destination. Whether you are planning a honeymoon, a luxury getaway, or a family vacation, travel advisors can provide you with insider tips and recommendations that you simply can’t find on Google. We can help you find hidden gems, avoid tourist traps, and personalize your trip to make it truly unique to your own travel needs and desires.

2. Time-Savings.

Planning a trip can be incredibly time-consuming, particularly when you're visiting a new destination. You have to spend hours researching flights, hotels, activities, and transportation options. If you love this, GREAT! But a travel advisor can save you time and hassle by doing all of this work for you. And you don’t have to waste time scrolling through hundreds of online reviews or spend hours comparing prices. Instead, you can simply tell your advisor what you’re looking for, and we will take care of the rest. We can book your flights, plan your transfers, choose the perfect hotels for your needs, and plan out your itinerary with just the right balance of activities and relaxation to ensure that you get the most out of your trip.

3. Personalized Service.

Travel advisors provide a personalized service that you simply can’t get from a website or app. When you book with a travel advisor, you get a dedicated human being (ME!) who loves and understands travel and who will work with you every step of the way to create a trip that meets your unique needs and preferences. Whether you want to visit a specific attraction or go off the beaten path, we can create a custom itinerary that's tailored to your interests. We can also provide you with ongoing support throughout your trip, so you can feel confident that any issues will be resolved quickly and efficiently.

4. Value.

While it can be tempting to book your trip on your own to save money, the truth is that a travel advisor can often offer you better value for your hard-earned money. Travel advisors have access to exclusive deals, discounts, and perks that the general public doesn’t have access to. For example, we have special relationships with hotels or tour operators that allow them to offer you discounted or packaged rates. We can also help you find the best options for you on flights, car rentals, and other travel services to help you save time and avoid missteps like terrible connections on flights. 

5. Peace of Mind.
​
Traveling can be stressful, particularly when you're visiting a new destination. When you use a travel advisor, you can have peace of mind knowing that you have an expert on your side who will help you navigate any challenges that may arise during your trip. And we almost always have partners on the ground right there at your destination. Whether you need help with travel insurance, lost luggage, or flight cancellations, your travel advisor can take care of everything for you. We can also provide you with valuable safety and security information to ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable trip.

​Using a travel advisor can provide you with a wealth of benefits, from saving precious time and money to providing you with expert knowledge and personalized service. Let a skilled, professional travel advisor (LIKE ME!) take over the hard part of creating the perfect travel experience for you. 

Cheers!
