About Me

The Greek Isles
The Greek Isles

My first river cruise was on the luxury AMA waterways cruise on the Danube River from Budapest in Hungary through Croatia, Serbia, and Bulgaria, ending in Romania. The food, wine, and tours were all included. It was a fantastic experience. Last year, I went on Avalon on The Romantic Rhine from Basel, Switzerland, through Germany and France to Amsterdam. It was another tremendous all-inclusive with food, wine, and tour experience. As for Ocean cruising, I like leading family reunions and special occasion groups. I have been on many ocean cruises and booked solo, couples, families, and multi-generational cruises. I cruised the Greek Islands, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and Alaska. Expedition cruising is popular in the Galapagos with Adventures by Disney, Hurtigruten, and Celebrity. In addition, Antarctica has many new suppliers, from the luxury Silversea to Viking to Hurtigruten, Ponant, and Atlas Voyages. So, let me help you to plan and book your river, Ocean, or expedition cruise.

Great Honeymoon to Morocco and Spain!
Reviewed By Ian & Meredith - Romeoville, IL | Traveled to Morocco ~ Africa
Yamonee was great to work with. She helped us from start to finish and got us everything we asked for in our honeymoon well within our budget. We knew we wanted to go to Morocco for adventuring and then to relax on the beach somewhere. We had a great time riding camels into the desert in Morocco and ended up on a beach in the south of Spain for our last few days. It was an amazing experience and we will definitely be working with Yamonee again on our future travels.

Our Family Trip
Reviewed By Ann - Schaumburg, IL | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Yamonee booked our 1st cruise for our family to Alaska starting with a tour from Calgary to Vancouver, Anchorage, Denali, and Fairbanks. It was a group trip and our flight to Calgary was delayed due to weather conditions. Yamonee was determined to get us out that night, she did a phenomenal job and we made it to Calgary. Her dedicated time in making sure her clients are satisfied is beyond expectations.
Yamonee Barboro responded
"Thanks for your kind comments. We will be on another group trip soon."

A flawless trip
Reviewed By C.M - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Colorado ~ USA
I 've landed! It was an excellent trip and I was upgraded to an all wheel drive. I will be referring Yamonee to anyone who needs a travel agent! She is very knowledgeable on USA travel. If it wasn’t for her, I may not have taken this trip. I had some life changing moments in Colorado and received vital direction on making the move. Thank you for your time, effort, and energy in making this happen!
Yamonee Barboro responded
"Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to book you on this cold winter trip. I you were able to accomplish your objectives."

30th wedding anniversary trip
Reviewed By Kate - Schaumburg, IL | Traveled to Arizona ~ USA
It was a pleasure working with Yamonee! We originally planned and booked a trip to Mexico for our family of 7 but at the last minute had to change locations. Yamonee worked very hard and helped us pick and book and new location. We had a wonderful trip with everything prearranged by Yamonee! We couldn't have done it without her! We will definitely book our next trip with Yamonee!
Yamonee Barboro responded
"Thank you very much. I look forward to plan you and you and your family again."
