About Me

Enjoying a Sicilian winery near Mt. Etna.
Enjoying a Sicilian winery near Mt. Etna.

I’m Chris, a Travel Advisor with more than eight years of experience designing exceptional, highly personalized travel experiences. I specialize in premium and luxury travel throughout Europe and Alaska, along with luxury and small-ship cruises, river cruises, guided journeys, and thoughtfully selected resorts.

My approach begins with understanding how you want to travel. I take the time to learn your interests, preferences, expectations, and budget, then thoughtfully curate every element of your journey—from selecting the right destination and accommodations to arranging private experiences, local guides, transportation, and special touches that elevate the experience.

With extensive destination knowledge and firsthand travel experience, I bring a discerning eye to every itinerary I design. Whether you’re envisioning an elegant European escape, an unforgettable Alaska adventure, a luxurious river cruise, or a special journey with family and friends, I’m here to make the planning effortless and the experience exceptional.

My goal is more than simply arranging a vacation. It’s to create a seamless, beautifully designed journey that reflects the way you want to travel—and delivers experiences you’ll remember long after you return home.

A Great Client Experience is my Priority

Chris and Rose were awesome to work with for my anniversary and milestone birthday getaway with my wife. I highly recommend them for their competence and client care. - Matt C.

Chris just helped me book a trip to Greece for my family. We are traveling with a 9 year old and he was able to accommodate everything we wanted and needed with a child along. Great response, easy experience, excellent service. - Shari A.

First time river cruiser but it won't be the last!
Reviewed By BeeHiveMom - Johns Creek, Georgia | Traveled to Amsterdam | Netherlands | Europe
Exceptional services provided. Chris Lay and his team went over and beyond what was expected in preparing us for our Rhine River Cruise. As a result, another river cruise, this one on the Danube River, has already been booked. Highly recommend for your next trip.

Family bucket list trip
Reviewed By RoadWarriors7 - LeRoy Illinois | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Chris did an excellent job providing options based on our input and preferences. He planned a custom itinerary with private or small group tours for our family of 4 with stops in Germany, Switzerland and Italy. He communicates well and all the travel documents and information were provided via email as well as easy to access in the mobile app. We can't wait to book our next adventure with Chrs

Best trip ever!
Reviewed By Audrey - Anchorage to Fairbanks | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Chris planned a once in a lifetime adventure trip to Alaska. He listened to everything we wanted to do and went to work planning the best vacation I have ever been on. When one plan was cancelled due to weather he was immediately responding when I asked if we could rebook. Truly best experience I have ever had, I am so spoiled now I don’t think I could go anywhere without using his services!
Chris Lay responded
"I love that you had a great vacation in Alaska! And I was mesmerized by photos you shared. It immediately had me thinking about my next trip to The Last Frontier. Thank you for trusting me with you vacation experience. "
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
