We Are Your“ Guy in The Chair”

In the movies, superheroes and spies always have someone back in the office, surrounded by a bank of computer screens, watching over everything and giving the hero timely information they need. That’ s called the“ guy in the chair,” and that’ s exactly what we are. We pay attention to all the moving parts of a vacation— the flight schedules, hotel rates, tour activities, weather patterns— and we relay that crucial information to you in real time, ready to help you pivot when needed.

We Are Your Perk Providers

Speaking of groups, if you’ re traveling with extended family, we can lock in group rates that are often lower than what you can get on your own. Plus, thanks to the travel agency network we belong to, we can often secure VIP perks at no extra cost, such as free breakfasts and late checkouts at hotels and resorts, as well as onboard credit, free shore excursions and more on cruise lines.

We Are Your Trusted Treasurer

If you’ re planning a family reunion or bringing together family members from across the country for a wedding or another reason, one person often gets tasked with making all the arrangements and then hoping everyone else pays their share. A travel advisor should be that person. When it comes to groups, we are adept at finding travel solutions that fit everyone’ s budget, making all the bookings for each party in your group and then giving them a central location to make payments for all the various parts of the vacation.

We Save You Valuable Time

The average person spends 10-20 hours researching a single trip. Those numbers go up exponentially when you have family members involved, trying to sift through the endless options online. An advisor cuts through the clutter and saves you from reading your 1,000th review of the day. We use our firsthand experience and expert insights to match your family to the proper venue or destination, knowing which ageappropriate activities you’ ll love best. We also excel at planning itineraries that give you buffer days to relax, so you’ re not trying to see 10 sights in a single day.
