Aerial, British Virgin Islands

Hello, globetrotter!  My name is Gina Porter, founder of GG Luxury Travel.  I design unique journeys that wow clients and leave them with lasting memories.

We travel for many different reasons. I travel to connect with friends and family and new people we meet along the way. I travel to immerse myself in new cultures and gain a deeper understanding of our world. I travel for wellness and relaxation and to often challenge myself in an adventurous way. I travel to have fun and experience the food and libations unique to a locale. I also travel to gain firsthand knowledge and to build local relationships that enable me to create those wow moments for you.

Designing luxury vacations with extraordinary experiences, personable service, and exclusive access is my specialty. The definition of luxury is unique to each of us, which is why I take the time to get to know you and discover why you want to travel, your favorite pastimes and interests, and any details relevant to you along the way. I then will customize your journey, tailoring each stay and experience to your particular interests.  While you enjoy your holiday, the GG Team will work behind the scenes to make sure your escape is genuinely effortless!

So, go on, wanderlust! Together we can create your unique journey filled with indelible experiences - those  "oh, wow!" travel moments stamped into your memory forever.

A trip like no other
Reviewed By Jana - Texas | Traveled to London ~ England ~ Europe
My family has taken many vacations and work trips under the planning of Gina Porter at Far and Away -they have all been wonderful. Her suggestions of where to go, what to see and what to do have been spot on. Also, Gina has given us so many 'insights' that other travelers may not know-which enhanced our trips, such as since my passion is collecting handbags, Gina arranged for me to visit a designer handbag factory while traveling abroad. Her personal touches are great. Our family would be lost without her knowledgeable planning.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The best experience!
Reviewed By E - Atlanta, GA | Traveled to St. Barthelemy Island ~ St. Barthelemy ~ Caribbean
Gina is outstanding! She takes the necessary time to understand the experience I am looking for, plans accordingly with excellent options, and ultimately ensures all aspects of the trip exceed expectations.

London was the best trip I've e ear taken
Reviewed By Jbro - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to London ~ England ~ Europe
Our family has enlisted Gina as our travel professional for years-two honeymoons for our children, many family vacations, many work/groups trips and several intimate vacations for just my husband and me. They've all been great. My most favorite thing about Gina's bookings are the 'secret' treasures she books for us. Things that the masses know nothing about. I particularly loved our trip to London and staying at The Goring-just magical.
We really allow Gina to guide us on what to do while on a trip-because she's proven to be so proficient in her travel knowledge. I feel blessed to have her help us.

The best honeymoon imaginable!
Reviewed By Amanda - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to St. Barthelemy ~ Caribbean
Gina planned our honeymoon to St. Barth's and it was BEYOND incredible! She researched all available hotels on the island and narrowed it down to three perfect options (across three different price ranges) - we are officially obsessed with our hotel, Chevel Blanc!

She booked flights (with connections / transfers perfectly coordinated), arranged our rental car, made dinner reservations and even planned a private dinner on the beach one evening. All of these details were housed on her easy-to-navigate mobile app, which made it completely stress free for us as we traveled.

Gina was a true advisor, helping ensure we made the best use of our time on the island. She knew the best restaurants, shopping, activities, and more! It would've been impossible to research these details on our own.

We are already talking about our next trip and will absolutely book through Gina and Far & Away Travel!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A wonderful anniversary trip
Reviewed By Betsy - Darien, CT | Traveled to Jumby Bay Island ~ Antigua & Barbuda ~ Caribbean
Gina is very knowledgeable, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. She considers all details. She often knows and anticipates her clients' needs before they do- at least that has been our experience. We have worked with Gina for anniversary trips, family trips and girls' weekends. She has handled each trip with expertise! Love, love her!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
