International travel can be overwhelming, especially when you have limited time to make the most of your travels. I personally like escorted tours when traveling internationally. It is one way to make the most of your precious time. The tour directors are well versed in the itineraries and have your safety and comfort at the top of their list. I have traveled internationally with my 4 children on escorted tours through The Amazon River, South Africa including a safari, and Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos. I have booked several clients on escorted tours throughout Europe and they have enjoyed their experience and felt like they got value from an escorted tour. Getting your luggage from one place to another can be cumbersome... but not on an escorted tour! They take care of that for you! Intravacation transportation and vetted accommodations are included, and some include some meals! Find out why this is a popular way to travel internationally!

Grant & Sheridan Honeymoon
Reviewed By Grant - Cayce, South Carolina | Traveled to Antigua & Barbuda | Caribbean
Jill made the planning process for our much anticipated honeymoon so easy and smooth. We told her where we wanted to go and she found multiple resorts that suited us to choose from. With her guidance we chose to visit Hammock Cove Resort in Antigua and had the time of our lives. This place had everything we wanted and more.
Without Jill this Honeymoon planning process would have been very stressful and hard to manage especially with a wedding coming up. She was able to take care of all the logistics and provide us a stress-free approach to this honeymoon!
Thank you, Jill for planning such a special week for us!

Unforgettable Experience
Reviewed By Jess - Columbia, SC | Traveled to Azores | Portugal | Europe
I can't say enough about Jill! She made our planning process and vacation as stress-free as possible. Even when we encountered some airline hiccups, she moved into action immediately to contact our overseas accommodations and took care of all our reservation needs. Jill was very prompt with communication and ensured we had all the information we needed throughout the entire process. I highly recommend contacting her for any of your future travel needs!

The trip we had dreamed of!
Reviewed By Cathi - Goose Creek, SC | Traveled to Grand Canyon | Arizona | USA
Jill was so easy to work with! She listened to our vague ideas, asked questions and created an itinerary perfect for us. She suggested some fantastic activities that added immeasurably to our trip. A private tour guide made all the difference in our comfort and enjoyment. I have already referred Jill to our friends!

A wonderful experience!
Reviewed By Tay_jacks - Columbia, SC | Traveled to Riviera Maya | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Jill is the best! From start to finish, she was informative, professional, and always available to answer any questions. Her communication was excellent, and she consistently checked in to make sure everything was going smoothly before and during the trip, which was extremely comforting as a new traveler. Thanks to her attention to detail and dedication, my perfect vacation became a reality. I truly appreciate all of her hard work and highly recommend her to anyone planning a trip!

A December to Remember in Southeast Asia
In December 2024, we went on a SouthEast Asia tour of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos that was a guided tour. We started in Vietnam. In Ho Chi Minh, we stayed at the very nice Park Hyatt Saigon. We took a boat down the Mekong River, sampling fresh fruits and viewing the sites of the Mekong River. The family loved visiting the War Remnants Museum...
