Luxury vacations curated “for you, not by you!” Sit back, relax, and leave all the details to us!

My name is Brett Hartley, I am a retired PGA of America Golf Professional of 30+ years. I am currently Active Duty military. I will be retiring in the next few years. I am married to my college sweetheart, Christine. We are the proud parents of four wonderful adult children, two grandchildren, and a devoted Labrador. Our lives are overflowing with good food, lots of love, adventure, and excitement. As empty nesters we have been fortunate enough to live out our dreams and pursue our passion for good food, culture, and travel by living all over the US, South Korea, Germany, and Italy. Our lives have been somewhat of a fairytale. While living overseas Christine and I took every opportunity to visit as many neighboring countries as possible. It is our hope to share our love of good food, travel, culture, and our experiences from our travels with as many people as possible. We started our journey while overseas by assisting family and friends with planning their itineraries to come visit us. We put so much thought and effort into planning every detail into our guests itineraries, they began telling us we needed to go into the business. While Christine was employed at the Catholic Diocese of Beaumont, Fr. Sinclair Oubre of the Apostleship of the Sea Ministry (AOS), offered her an opportunity to work for him booking cruises for Catholic priests on cruise ships all over the world in March 2009. This is where Christine got her official start assisting others with booking their travel arrangements. Traveling has become our passion. We find it to be therapeutic and we love watching the excitement and pure joy on the faces of our family, friends, and clients. We have always enjoyed assisting others with planning their travels. So, Christine and I have decided to go into the Travel Industry as our retirement plan. We feel that if you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life.

A Memorable Northern Italy Experience!
Reviewed By Dean and Rusty - Beaumont, Texas | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to northern Italy and will reflect on the fond memories of our experience for many years, thanks to Travel Hartley. We provided them our parameters of dates available to travel, and preference for hotel and restaurant price ranges. We identified a few cities and sites we wanted to see, based on our “1,000 Places to See Before You Die” book recommendations. Christine and Brett designed an itinerary that incapsulated everything we were hoping for and more. The hotel and restaurant choices were comfortable, entertaining and the meals were pleasing to the pallet, with ample varieties of local offerings to savor. Every detail was attended to, and a number of their recommendations for consideration were welcomed and very much appreciated. The trip ended up being better than we had hoped for.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Extraordinary trip!
Reviewed By D. Morales - Fayetteville NC | Traveled to Brussels ~ Belgium ~ Europe
Amazing! Brett and Christine made our dream vacation come a reality! They knew what we wanted without us having to tell them. As if they read our minds. They planned everything from the time we arrived at the airport to the gelato we ate the tours we took the food we ate. Everything was remarkable!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
