About Me

Glenfinnan Viaduct
Glenfinnan Viaduct

Scotland is a land of breathtaking beauty, rich heritage, and unforgettable charm. It's perfect for travelers seeking dramatic landscapes, vibrant culture, and deep historical roots. From the misty Highlands and craggy coastlines to lively cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland offers something for every type of traveler.

I’ve personally explored Scotland and booked it for several clients, and I can say with confidence that it’s one of the most rewarding and customizable destinations to visit!  Whether you dream of touring centuries-old castles, sipping single malt Scotch at the source, riding the iconic Jacobite Steam Train (think Harry Potter!) or experiencing the stunning Isle of Skye, Scotland delivers immersive and enriching experiences. Spring and early fall are especially ideal times to visit—offering fewer crowds, mild weather, and spectacular scenery.

Because this destination lends itself so well to personalization, I work with trusted partners—whether it’s a dedicated DMC, a guided tour company like CIE Tours or Globus, or a trusted supplier like Sceptre—to match you with the perfect itinerary. From private drivers to small-group tours or fully customized independent travel, I can tailor a Scotland trip to your exact interests, preferences, and travel style.

Villages, Lakes, and a Healing Journey
Reviewed By Deb*L - Sarasota, FL | Traveled to Switzerland | Europe
I came to Danette with a clear vision of what I wanted, but I had little travel experience and a lot of anxiety. She listened carefully and designed a beautiful, highly customized trip that turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t realize at first that my vision wasn’t the “standard” way people see Switzerland, but Danette made it happen! She handled everything with thoughtfulness and expertise, keeping in mind specific needs and things I wanted to avoid. The result was a journey through villages and lakes that felt both magical and deeply restorative, which was exactly what I was hoping for. In a time of so much DIY, working with Danette was a reminder of the value of a knowledgeable and intuitive human guide. Very grateful!

Amazing trip! It felt like Danette knew us so well.
Reviewed By Tami - Graham NC | Traveled to Switzerland | Europe
It was a HUGE blessing to have the trip so well planned out and prepaid for so many things. Danette met with us initially to plan and the outcome reflected her careful attention to our preferences. It was a perfect blend of scheduled and unscheduled activities. The hotels she chose were amazing and all the logistics worked so smoothly, down to the best restaurant recommendations too! The communication in preparing and during the trip were excellent. I cannot recommend her help too much!

Wonderful introduction to Ireland!
Reviewed By McLisa - South Berwick, Maine | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
Danette recommended a Globus bus tour for our first trip to Ireland. It was lovely having someone else drive the hundreds of kms we drove last week, so we could enjoy the beautiful Irish countryside. We covered a lot more kms than if we had driven ourselves in a rented car. The scheduled tour stops at the Irish stud farm, farm to bake scones & see the sheep & sheep dog in action & the Waterford Crystal factory were perfectly fit to the tour. Well done.
Danette McAlister responded
"I am so glad the Globus tour matched up best for making your trip to Ireland a great one. It was a pleasure working with you on it!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Family Alaska Cruise
Reviewed By FamilyWhoLovesToTravel - Raleigh, NC | Traveled to Alaska | USA
My family and I ( 5 adults) loved working with Danette to help plan our cruise to Alaska. She was always quick to answer our questions, and offered suggestions throughout our booking (cruise lines, cabins, excursions) as well as worked to get us the best pricing possible. Danette was reassuring when we ran into small glitches with the cruise line app, and provided us backup documentation if needed. She is organized, friendly, knowledgeable, and down to earth. Everything you would want in a travel agent! We are looking forward to booking new trips with her in the future.
Danette McAlister responded
"Thank you. I truly enjoyed working with you, and I'm so glad you loved your Princess cruise to Alaska!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
