Ireland Travel Agent Professional
I started to visit Ireland when I met my wife 20 years ago who was born in Ireland. After many trips, I found it to be such an interesting country due to its beauty and history. I found the people to be wonderful and the country as a whole to be a place that I have most enjoyed being on vacation in my life. Let me share with you the experiences I have had over the years while planning your dream vacation to Ireland. It will be a trip you never forget.

John was amazing and so helpful. All we knew is we wanted to go somewhere on a beach that would be all inclusive. John was very patient and was a great listener and he sent us several options in different countries that we could choose from for our trip. Once we made our decision on our destination, John set everything up for us from start to finish. We cannot thank him enough for making our trip one of the most memorable vacations we have ever had.

Amazing trip to Europe!
Reviewed By Kristen - San Marcos CA | Traveled to Europe
John helped us plan our first trip to Europe and it was a trip to remember. We started with a few basic ideas of places to visit and things to do and needed more guidance, so we contacted John. He was able to provide us with great options from his time living in Europe. We saw places and had experiences that we would have never had without John's help. My favorite country was Italy by far. I can't recommend him enough!

Perfect Alaskan Cruise
Reviewed By Tina - Santa Monica CA | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
We just went on our first cruise and it was unbelievable! My husband and I had never been on a cruise and didn't know what to expect. Wanting to see Alaska was a huge goal for us so we thought we’d talk to a travel agent and see if one could assist. We searched online and found John who had been to Alaska several times. From the first time we talked, we knew it was a perfect fit. He didn't only help us decide on the right cruise, but on the perfect size ship (Norwegian) and the best possible excursions. We know we now love cruises and will be using John for all of our future travels.
