Just call us Santa’s Little Helper.

Did you know many of our advisors offer gift certificates or credit that go toward a trip or planning fee? That’s as easy as reaching out via an email or phone call. (Or we’re happy to play matchmaker at [email protected]!)

Once that’s sorted, consider some fun ways to deliver your gift-of-travel:

✈️ Not sure where someone wants to go? Wrap up a toy plane with a note letting the receiver know you’ve secured them a travel advisor. And where they decide to take it from there — sky’s the limit!

🍾Destination in mind? Give something that speaks to the location; a bottle of Champagne for France, dinner at an Italian restaurant, tickets to the zoo for a safari…the fun part is letting your imagination run wild.

🌎 Group or family vacation? Create a pinterest/vision board or Virtuoso Wanderlist so people can collaborate on where to go and what to do. (Bonus: that will serve as great insight for your .)

Finally getting time to sort through photos and memories from our recent trip to South Africa 🇿🇦….
Cape Town is the perfect starting point for a South Africa adventure. With a convergence of cultural, cosmopolitan, and natural draws, the “Mother City” has no shortage of things to do. Before I left I was already plotting my return.

For an exhilarating overview of the city we ventured out on a sidecar tour. With the wind in our hair we were able to tour the cape and take in amazing views of Table Mountain along with many iconic bays and beaches. The ride ended with sundowners 🍹 on Signal Hill followed by dinner on Kloof Street. Kloof street is home to some of Cape Town’s most gourmet and trendy restaurants.

We love when clients leave it in our hands to determine where they should go (but it’s also a lot of pressure). That’s why we ask a lot of questions about where our clients have been, their interests, hobbies, preferences, travel style and consider that with the time of year and travel requirements. This summer we landed on San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site city has pleasant year-round temperatures, charming cobblestoned historic center, restaurants, food markets and stunning 16th century colonial architecture . First we picked , arranged flights and transportation, a private wine 🍷 and polo 🐎 experience, hiking 🥾 in some incredible canyons located just outside the city, dining at the best restaurants and cocktails 🍹 on a few of San Miguel’s famous rooftops. The interior of Mexico should not be overlooked and San Miguel should be a consideration for anyone who loves art, culture, architecture, food, wine, tequila and outdoor adventure.

We are so excited to have clients back traveling in Europe! We planned a special trip for a mother and her two daughters to Greece. They are active, love outdoor adventure and history so we selected the island of Crete splitting their stay on two sides of the island (Crete is big). Chania is a beautiful city full of winding alleys, scenic monasteries, traditional houses, delicious restaurants and historical monuments. Samaria Gorge is about an hour away and must-do for anyone who loves a good hike.
En route to Elounda (on the other side) our clients had a private guide to take them to visit the capital of Heraklion and historic Knossos Palace. Elounda feels a world away from the bustling capital with fishing villages, uninhabited islands and tranquil bays. One of our favorite properties is which is owned and operated by a mother and daughters team. They have multi bedroom with villas featuring private pools with stunning views. Some even come with private gyms and spa rooms, perfect for those seeking privacy.
Our clients have our team and our Greek partners available 24-7 to take the stress out of dealing with things like flight delays, missed-connections, Covid testing so that they can spend their time enjoying the sunshine ☀️, beach 🏝, cuisine 🐙 and warm Greek hospitality 🇬🇷 !
