About Me

Europe Church and Lake
Europe Church and Lake

As a Guided Tour Specialist, I design and curate seamless escorted tour experiences for travelers who want structure, cultural depth, and stress-free exploration. I specialize in small group and fully guided vacations across Europe, North America, and worldwide destinations, ensuring every detail is handled from arrival to departure.

I work closely with leading escorted tour operators including Globus, Collette, Insight Vacations, and Cosmos to match travelers with the right itinerary style, whether that is classic sightseeing, premium guided travel, or value-focused touring.

My expertise includes helping clients choose the right tour based on pace, inclusions, hotel quality, and regional focus. Popular destinations include Italy, France, Switzerland, Spain, the United Kingdom, Greece, Central Europe, and Canada, along with themed tours such as culinary journeys, historical routes, and scenic rail and coach combinations.

I also advise on pre and post tour extensions, airport transfers, excursion upgrades, and seasonal advantages to ensure travelers maximize their experience without the stress of planning logistics.

From first-time international travelers to seasoned explorers, I make guided travel simple, organized, and memorable.

Fantastic River Cruise
Reviewed By Jeff V. - Cinnaminson, NJ | Traveled to Europe
My wife and I recently returned from an incredible river cruise on the Rhine and Moselle. We visited Amsterdam, Germany, Luxembourg, and Paris. Jason and the team at R5 Travel were fantastic from start to finish. Everyone was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. We especially enjoyed being able to visit the local office near us in Maple Shade to discuss our trip in person. The staff all had been on multiple trips on river cruises themselves, so they were able to share firsthand knowledge, personal experiences, and tell us exactly what to expect. Jason helped arrange our airfare and transportation, including recommending a local limo company, so everything was taken care of from the moment we left our home all the way until we returned. They provided printed travel documents before departure, which were incredibly helpful while traveling, and we appreciated having an emergency number available should we have needed assistance. The personal service and attention to detail gave us great peace of mind throughout our trip. We highly recommend Jason and R5 Travel to anyone looking for a travel agent to help plan a Europe vacation or river cruise. We will definitely use them again!

Australia Honeymoon
Reviewed By Mady C. - Philadelphia | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
We has such an awesome experience working with JVD while planning our honeymoon! R5 was able to put together our dream trip, and take over so many of the logistics so we could just enjoy ourselves. We knew we needed help planning such a big trip (we went to Australia and NZ), and working with R5 made it all seem less. We are so grateful we found them and will definitely be working with them in the future!!

Family Vacation
JVD was fantastic in scheduling the perfect package for our family. He and the whole team at R5 were dedicated to making sure we were well educated about the resort so we could have the best vacation ever! Will be using again!

Sandals Curacao
Sandals Curacao was an amazing experience for me and my wife. Top notch restaurants, drink services and entertainment. Every night has a different event and throughout the day you will most likely find yourself in the double-decker pool to stay cool. The entire island has plenty of tours including some of the worlds most picture perfect beaches. Downtown Willemstad is a must go for the shops and history of the island. R5 travel made our trip to this island perfect with flights, transport and the stay itself. Will definitely be using this company in the future for trips!
