WHY USE A TRAVEL ADVISOR?
Our experience, training and connections in the industry provide our clients with expert guidance. Unlike online websites, we are looking out for our client’s best interests and provide service before, during and after their travels. While discount warehouses are great at providing merchandise, their specialty in NOT travel and servicing these trips. A quick internet search can show how many customers were left to fend for themselves during the pandemic of 2019-20. Do you really want to trust your once in a lifetime vacation to the same place you buy your toilet paper?
