Above all, my goal is to achieve 100% customer satisfaction with each of my clients. I'm here to plan the trip of their dreams, not the trip of mine. I listen to my clients, and I work to ensure that they get to do everything they want on their vacation while also staying within their budget.

I specialize in booking the following destinations:

  • Western Europe — My own travels have taken me throughout this continent, so I am very familiar with many European countries. Let me coordinate your European tour today! My personal favorites are Greece and Portugal.
  • Mexico — I am familiar with the many of the resorts in the different regions of Mexico, allowing me to provide my clients with expert recommendations for their upcoming trips.
  • The Caribbean — Each Caribbean island has its own flavor and atmosphere, and I love to connect my clients with the island feel that is right for them. Whether you are seeking adventure, romance or relaxation, I can help you plan the perfect getaway.
  • Costa Rica — I have traveled to this destination twice, and I love to recommend it to my clients. Between my professional experience and my personal adventures, I can create the ideal itinerary for you.
  • Bucket List Destinations - Safaris, Galapagos, Antarctica...these bucket list vacations require advance planning and painstaking attention to detail. I have experience planning these types of once in a lifetime adventures and I will make sure you have an unforgettable vacation!

My love of travel was sparked at the age of 16, when my parents took my sister and I on a whirlwind tour throughout 8 European countries. Between sampling the local foods, seeing some of the most famous sites in the world, and interacting with the friendly local people, I was hooked. I have instilled the same love of travel in my daughters, and I hope to inspire my clients to continue to explore the world around them.

I can't wait to hear about your ideas for your next amazing vacation. Contact me today in order to make your dreams come true!

Testimonials:

"Nicole booked our trip to Europe this spring and it was a great! Hotels, plane tickets, train tickets and everything else. You can count on her for all your travel needs".-Victoria G.

"Thank you so much for coordinating our Family Reunion. You organized almost 50 people from 5 different states together for a fun-filled, amazing cruise to the Caribbean. Our group ranged in age from 3 -73 and everyone had a blast. You assisted throughout the entire trip from the brainstorming phase, through the entire planning stages and even helped when our group ran into some difficulties with return flights due to weather. Iwill highly recommend you. Your professionalism, knowledge and dedication united our family for a trip that will never be forgotten!

So easy!
Reviewed By Lisa - Raleigh, NC | Traveled to
Nicole has helped myself and my family on several occasions to plan trips. The most recent one is to the Dominican Republic. She was quick to respond on possibilities, found us flights that were cheaper than we expected and sent us wonderful information to have all the details ready to go when we leave in a few weeks. We are so pleased with her diligence, dedication and specialized service. Can't wait to talk with her again for 2016 family vacation!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Awesome trip
Reviewed By Lara - Ringwood, NJ | Traveled to
Nicole never stopped looking for the best trip for our first family All-Inclusive vacation. With a tight budget in place, Nicole was persistent in finding the best value for the best price. Our trip to Punta Cana was awesome, from the pick-up at the airport, to the Hotel and return home it was seamless and without any mishaps. I highly recommend Nicole for your next vacation planning adventure.

Extremely satisfied
Reviewed By Regina - Cortlandt Manor | Traveled to
We have traveled four times under Nicole's guidance. One was a large family trip, another was a trip with our granddaughter , another as a couple and one was a cruise to Alaska with 4 other friends. Our friends were also happy with the arrangements that Nicole made for us. It was our first cruise for all. She answered all of our many questions. We would not go back to someone who didn't have the experience and expertise to arrange trips. All of our trips have exceeded our expectations and we certainly plan on using her services in the future.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

First cruise for us -a little nervous
Reviewed By Ela - New York, NY | Traveled to
We are an older couple, who although have traveled extensively throughout our lives had never been on a cruise. So I took a friend's advice and contacted Nicole. She was very informative and listened to our concerns. Based on her expertise and our background, she offered us several options, but gently steered us towards the cruise we ultimately went on. The ship was not overly large which had been a concern of ours and the ports we docked at were places we had never been and therefore an adventure. We went from the Middle East to Singapore, fantastic! The cruise line she chose for us was perfect for our needs and exceeded our expectations. Nicole was quite knowledgeable and prompt in her response to our many queries as to visas, cultural differences and what to expect on the ship. Nicole clearly loves what she does and was very enthusiastic about our trip. We would definitely take advantage of her expertise in the future!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
