"Why should I work with you when I can just do it myself?" SO glad you asked! Here are Team SSW's top (5) reasons why you should hire a Travel Specialist for your next vacation.

1. We save you TIME.

No more scouring moms groups on FB, or YouTube...we're the experts. In a quick conversation we can pick up on exactly what it is you are wishing for and make tailored recommendations to maximize your vacation experience.

2. You have a real person watching your back.

We work for YOU. Not the cruise line, not the hotel, YOU. That means every suggestion and decision we make is based on what is in your best interest and benefits your bottom line.

3. We handle all the headaches.

Cancelled or delayed flights? Hotel room not up to par? Kiddo get sick and can't make that scheduled tour? Need to find the closest urgent care? WE GOT YOU.

4. Depending on your destination...we may have savings you can't find online.

Some times (not all) we are able to offer insider pricing, perks, and amenities you won't find on the big box website.

5. To put it simply: you will have a better vacation experience.

We know more than you do about your destination, are better connected, and have access to on-the-ground connections that benefit you.

Have you ever worked with a Travel Agent/Specialist/Advisor before? What was your experience like?
