About Me

Custom Travel Itineraries

Eleuthera, Bahamas
Eleuthera, Bahamas

I specialize in creating custom travel itineraries focused on adventure, history, culture and cuisine. From my home base in New Orleans, I will go the proverbial “extra mile” to ensure couples, families and individual travelers get a total-immersion travel experience each and every time.

Approaching a destination as a local instead of a tourist takes a lot of planning, and that’s where I am invaluable. Custom itineraries spare you from seeking out group tours and being shuttled around with 50 other people on a bus. I will go out of my way to create a totally different experience for you.

I feel that in order to fully immerse yourself in a destination, you have to dig deeper. I cater to discerning travelers who want to experience adventure, hidden gems, locals-only favorites, and truly authentic moments while visiting a destination.

No place is out of the question when giving me the reigns of vacation planning! Whether craving resort-style pampering, tent-sleeping on a deserted island, olive-oil tasting in Florence, or sizzling up fresh ceviche on a private fishing boat charter, I know exactly how to get you from “dreams to schemes” with no planning on your own part.

I enjoy planning trips just as much as the traveling itself, as I can spend hours researching and learning about a destination and never get bored. I have completed the Leisure Specialist and Trusted Travel Advisor programs through Travel Leaders Network, and I put my skills, expertise, and intuition to work for clients in the same way I approach my own family getaways. The outcome is truly a one of a kind vacation!

A wonderful journey
Reviewed By Anemone - Southport, NC | Traveled to Europe
Two consecutive Viking cruises - one ocean and the second river - were an excellent introduction to a cruise since this was our first time. Everything worked without a hitch. Although the train station in Barcelona was a little chaotic due primarily to our train being late, the actual ride was nice. It also brought us to the center of Paris making the transfer to the hotel in the late afternoon much simpler than the airport would have been. Both hotels, the Villa della Palma in Lazio and the Hotel de Cadran were in nice locations, the first very scenic and the second, in a perfect location for walking to the Eiffel Tower and environs.

One of our best trips ever!
Reviewed By Marilyn and Alan - New Orleans, Louisiana | Traveled to London | England | Europe
Nicole provided exceptional service from beginning to end. After an introductory meeting to discuss our trip, Nicole planned everything including transfers, hotels, meals, tours, guides, and activities. She provided an itinerary with vouchers and instructions for everything.our only job was to enjoy a beautifully planned vacation. During our trip, she was available to answer questions and make any adjustments that were needed. She was highly professional. Restaurant recommendations often included menus to help us make our selections. The guides for our excursions were excellent. We highly recommend Nicole Armbruster as a travel consultant. Our 18 day trip could not have been more perfect! During the trip she was available to make adjustments as needed.

Our trip to Italy was perfect thanks to Nicole!
Reviewed By Christine Z - Newton, NJ | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Nicole did an amazing job planning our trip. Early on in the process, we discussed our budget and where we wanted to visit and she put together an itinerary that we reviewed and modified accordingly. She was available to answer any questions we had right up to the time of our trip. The entire itinerary went off as planned without any issues at all. Every hotel was wonderful. Every driver arrived as planned and took great care of us getting from location to location. All the tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. We had an emergency contact in Italy that we could reach out to at any moment with questions and they responded immediately. We were in great hands. I highly recommend using Nicole for planning your next trip.
