With the experiences of 49 years in the Travel Industry I decided to own an Agency in 2012. My experiences include some of the following: First as a corporate agent, then a leisure independent outside sales agent and owning a professional content educational programming business. Ownership also involved our being the founders and pastors of a mission and outreach church for 17 years.

My niche is selling wine tours and wine cruises. We cultivate the enjoyment with cultural, and the historical with a mixture of education and fun crafted into selling these types of tours and cruises. We also market famous Libraries both in the USA and International visiting Monasteries and lightly touching old Books.

One of my travel partners expressed the following about who are travel agents. The article said the following: They are added value in destination planning. Whatever is perfect for you the Travel Agent can use their expertise to guide the client to the adventure. Travel Agents will give customer advocacy if the client at their destination should experience a problem. We can act on the client’s behalf. The training given to Travel Agents produce expert Travel Advisors, who know how to sort through the myriad of available information to turn an emergency into a controlled situation. These are the cultivated values of the Travel Agent that becomes the expert Travel Advisor.

We are customizing your travel to be exactly what you want.
