Your dream holiday is about more than just getting from "point A to B." It's about discovering a magical place in the world that relaxes, inspires, stimulates your senses, and invigorates your soul. It's about immersing yourself--whether in the warm ocean of the Caribbean, the art culture of Florence, or a food & wine journey. It's about reconnecting with what makes you happy and calming your mind from the busy routine of the working world.
What do I mean by Premium and Luxury travel experiences?
We do not sell budget or discounted travel, nor do we sell or book clients with suppliers that do not offer fair value for money spent.
We advise and create custom premium travel arrangements for our clients.
Setting realistic budgets enables us to craft custom, elevated travel experiences that create lasting memories.
Your travel adventure should be nothing less than amazing! I want to ensure it's unforgettable from the moment you step off the plane or ship until you share your incredible stories with your loved ones and friends upon your return. It's not just my job, but my passion for creating exceptional travel experiences.

Bucket List Amazing Experience
Reviewed By Cholman - White plains New York | Traveled to Tanzania | Africa
Wow, what an incredible experience. I always imagined the trip would be great, but I have no words, truly a life changing moment. Gilbert was the best ever, he arranged everything for use, asking questions what we like, providing helpful advice and just a very effortless for us. This was a 13 day adventure and he took care of every single detail. Such a relief that I didn’t have to stress and worry. I will be using Gilbert for another experience very soon, nothing but professionalism and experience from him. Thanks again!!

Floating Greek Adventure
Reviewed By Patty Possum - Naples, Florida | Traveled to Athens | Greece | Europe
Review of Elemental Travel
We recently returned from a week-long cruise through the Greek Isles on Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady. Many months in advance, we worked with Gilbert Green to create the perfect adventure for us. Gilbert was easily contacted and worked to find the cabin best suited for us. He spent numerous hours answering all our questions and reviewing the travel planning process. He procured our hotel in Athens based on our flight information. Gilbert continued to inform us via email as our date of departure approached, including our flight itinerary.
Even before we boarded, Gilbert arranged dining reservations at all the award-winning restaurants. Once on board he directed us to the many activities and events. While on board, Gilbert kept us informed by way of a group chat on WhatsApp.
This trip more than lived up to our expectations! We feel confident in recommending Gilbert Green, CTC, and Elemental Travel for any and all travel arrangements for friends and family. As we disembarked the ship on the last day of the cruise, we felt confident that any future travel plans will be made through Gilbert Green, CTC, and Elemental Travel. On a scale of 1 to 5, we would rate our experience a 10!

I will always book with my Travel Agent Gilbert -
Reviewed By Richard-Lux Cruise Fan - New York, NY | Traveled to Mediterranean | At Sea | At Sea
I recently enjoyed a level of service I did not expect or thought still existed, especially when it came to travel agents.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Gilbert, a Certified Travel Counselor at Elemental Travel, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, Gilbert was attentive and patient when answering our questions. Even though I had a thousand questions, Gilbert was incredibly patient and always provided thoughtful, detailed information when we spoke on the phone, during our conference video calls, or in email. I have to mention, his calm, rich, mellow voice when describing the cruise ships and itineraries made it feel like I was already on the cruise enjoying myself.
When it came to trip planning, I tried reseaching for a different cruise, something with more inclusions. I wanted to experience my first “premium” or luxury cruise. I was not prepared for all of the overwhelming options and different rates when searching for a cruise.

Client Testimonials
Bucket list Safari stress free
Client Communication:
Gilbert was extremely attentive during the entire process. In the beginning we like many had our own idea in mind of the budget, comfort and luxury scale for our trip. Gilbert always has his clients happiness, safety and satisfaction in mind!
Trip/Itinerary planning:
In the beginning we like many, had our own idea in mind of the budget, comfort and luxury scale for our trip. We explained it all and Gilbert sent multiple levels of trip plans from budget friendly, to everything we wanted, to a little bit more extravagant. He was extremely thorough and helped us tweak and adjust the itinerary as we saw fit. Even until the day before our flight Gilbert was still thinking ahead, making sure the tour representative gave us information on questions we didn’t even think to ask. Gilbert always has his clients happiness, safety and satisfaction in mind!
Overall experience:
I would rate it 5 stars and that’s because we didn’t have to lift a finger then entire trip.
