About Me

Double Rainbow on the Danube
Double Rainbow on the Danube

River Cruising is an exceptional way to travel through a region and explore it in depth, without the hassle of packing and unpacking.

I have personally cruised on the Danube, with the Rhine and Nile river next on my radar.  I have trained with virtually all of the major river cruise lines, and regularly attend meetings with sales representatives and cruise industry events to stay current. There are many river cruise lines in operation and many features that differentiate each one. My job is to help you understand the different qualities and offerings before investing your money, and more importantly, your precious time in your vacation.   

Once we find your perfect river cruise, I am here to help you plan your days pre and post cruise, with one of a kind, luxury hotels, ground transportation, and memorable, local experiences.  If you can dream it, there is a good chance, I can help make it happen!         

There are some special ships on the rivers, with gourmet dining, exquisite wines, excellent service, and amazing itineraries.  Many sail through Europe, but you can also River cruise on the Mekong, on the Nile in Egypt, and there is a really special option on the Chobe River in Africa, the Zambezi Queen.  I love helping my clients plan these incredible journeys.

Excellent Planning for our Hawaii Vacation!
Reviewed By Maria - Houston | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
My husband and I had a great experience planning our awesome Hawaii trip with Maura at Let’s Travel Together! Maura helped us plan a split trip between Maui and Oahu and worked with us to think about our specific islands and activities we would like to do during our stay. She walked us through the COVID testing required, and made everything super straightforward. We also loved that we were able to get all our confirmations in an app and could message Maura with questions during the trip. We will definitely work with Maura again!

Amazing Adventure
Reviewed By Mauri and Sterling McCall III - Houston | Traveled to Europe
When I first started to organize a trip to Europe, I quickly realized it was getting to complicated to do confidently on my own. Maura was amazing. She really got to know us, and considered our personal needs and wants when organizing our trip. She knew the areas we were going and considered things I would never have thought of to make sure our trip was seamless and enjoyable. Maura planned an amazing trip that I never could have done on my own. We will definitely use her again for our next big adventure!

Do not consider using anyone else but Maura!
Reviewed By Johnny B - Houston, Tx | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Maura is absolutely amazing! From the moment I first met her, she treated me as a valued member of her family. She exceeded all expectations as she constantly, patiently demonstrated care & concern for ensuring my wife & I had the most wonderful vacation possible; which we did. I began working with Maura before Covid. When the "world shut down", Maura worked unceasingly with the airlines & tour operators to refund our money; she never gave up despite the resistance of one particular airline not to give a refund. Her efforts resulted in a full refund. Maura stayed in contact with me during the 2 years that followed informing me a few months ago that Italy was re-opened. She then went to work to locate & book the absolute best rates & best services with tour operators & airlines. While we were in Italy, Maura checked-in throughout, (texts, email & calls) to ensure we were doing great. Maura literally "held my hand" throughout the p
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing Customer Service
Reviewed By Roberta B - Greenwich, CT | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
I contacted Maura about going to an all inclusive resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico. She provided four choices. She was very familiar with the destination and knew first hand all the resorts she recommended. Maura responded to all questions. She was in charge of the entire process. She also made sure to check on us frequently till we arrived at the resort. Maura will be the only travel agent I use, without a doubt.
Maura Ferrero-Baroni responded
"Thank your Roberta. I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed your vacation in Riviera Maya. It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to helping you with your future travel needs."
