Luxury Guided Land & River Tour Specialist | European River Cruise & Faith-Based Travel Expert

There’s a moment on every great trip. Often somewhere between a sunrise over the Rhine Gorge and a glass of local wine you’d never find back home.

When a traveler turns and says, “I can’t believe we almost didn’t do this.” Creating that moment for my clients is why I do what I do.

I’m Alexander James, an independent travel agent within the Avoya Travel Network, based in Gilbert, Arizona.

I specialize in European river cruises, faith-based pilgrimage travel, and Active & Discovery tours across Europe and beyond.

My clients are couples, retirees, and small groups who want curated, meaningful, and seamless travel experiences — not mass-market packages. I help first time river cruise and international land travel for beginners. 

Active & Discovery Travel

For travelers who want to do rather than simply see, I design Active & Discovery itineraries that blend culture, movement, and immersive exploration. This includes Immersive city tours,  cycling along the Rhine, hiking-focused Rhône cruises, and cultural discovery programs throughout Britain, France, Italy, Eastern Canada, and more. The best trip is the one that fits who you are — and I match each traveler with the right level of activity and adventure.

My Promise to You

I treat every booking like it’s my own trip. I answer your questions, anticipate the ones you haven’t thought to ask, and make sure every detail is handled before you ever pack a bag.

My clients appreciate having a dedicated agent who knows the difference between a French balcony and a veranda, understands ideal travel seasons, and is available when they need support — even on weekends.

If you’re looking for curated, meaningful, and expertly planned travel, I’d love to help you create something extraordinary.
