Why use a travel advisor?
We are not your mother’s travel agency!
We don’t even consider ourselves “agents”. Agents are order-takers; Advisors collaborate with you to create a seamless, enjoyable life experience, which is our definition of a great vacation! We are very well-traveled, full-time professionals and we have connections all over this world (and now, thanks to Sir Richard Branson, in Space, too!) that help you savor those precious moments, your discretionary time.
I just read what I wrote and now will cut through the flowery, multi-syllabic words. Here’s the skinny:
We travel all over the world A LOT, so we’re knowledgeable. We have connections that afford you value when you travel (think “insider tips” , upgrades, and value-added amenities). We’re organized so you don’t have to stress over the details. AND, we are here for you! You aren’t talking to a call center employee (if you can actually talk to a someone “Live”). We monitor your vacation before, during and after. If you need our assistance, we are just a phone call away. Missed a flight? Want to extend your vacation? Need a reccomendation for a walking tour of Paris? We are here to help.
Enough from me. Please watch this interview by Ann Curry, TODAY SHOW host, of our friend and CEO of Virtuoso, Matthew Upchurch:

Lots to see in Lhasa!
In September 2011 we had the opportunity to join Guy Rubin, Managing Partner of the award-winning Imperial Tours, on a visit to Lhasa, Tibet. Our home for 3 nights in Lhasa, St. Regis Lhasa, now ranks as one of our favorite hotels in the world! Did we love it? Lhasa-Apsolutely!
Our Hearts Beat Together
A couple of years ago we sent out a YouTube video of the song “Stand by me” from “Playing for Change”. The message is as valid today as it was in 2009, perhaps even more so.
Experiencing our world and making new friends wherever we go is our passion and our mission is to help you enjoy the same joy.
Our friends at Micato expressed our truth in their holiday wish to us and we happily pass it on to you: Wherever we are in the world or in life…our hearts beat together.
May your actions touch those around you with love and kindness and may peace embrace our souls…
Once again, enjoy the video of “Stand By Me”:
