Travel Agent for Europe by Land, River, and Ocean

Strolling through France's picturesque villages

Recently one of my clients said, “Travel makes life worth living.”

I believe she said that because travel allows us to take a break from our everyday routine. As we experience a different environment, culture and people, we come back with a fresh look and a new appreciation for our everyday lives. There is always a feeling of excitement and anticipation once a future trip is booked.Then, as we explore unfamiliar places and try new things, we experience a new sense of wonder. We form new connections, create new memories, be it with those we travel or with those we meet in the countries we visit.

There are different ways to experience the beauty and culture of the countries in Europe, where within a relatively short distance a visitor can hear a different language, see a completely different landscape and architecture, and meet people of different heritages.

Some prefer to travel in Europe on land – via a train, a private or shared transfer that brings them from place to place, or in a rented vehicle. Another way is to travel with like-minded travelers on a motor coach with a tour director explaining the different sights on the way and telling different stories connected to the area. 

Some visitors want to explore Europe via the ocean, stopping in the ports of different countries and cities along the way.Others prefer to glide along one or more of Europe’s many rivers and visit the picturesque little towns and cities as the river cruise ships dock right in their city centers.Travelling on a ship to the different destinations in Europe, be it on the ocean or on the river, has the advantage of unpacking only once. All meals and entertainment are included in the cruise. And on the ship there is so much to see and do that the ship itself becomes a destination.

Ocean Cruises dock in or close to the main cities. With little transportation one can visit the city centers or take an excursion that will show the main highlights of the destination.River Cruise ships are smaller, usually have about 200 passengers. Due to their size they are able to bring the visitor right in the midst of villages and towns. One can just walk off the ship and enjoy all that is there to experience. It is one of my favorite ways of travel in Europe.

If you wish to explore more beyond the cruise, there is a possibility to add extra days before and after. I will gladly be of help to make your entire trip a seamless experience.

Europe is known for convenient travel by train. The train stations are within the cities or towns and often have easy connections to nearby airports. 

I can assist in seeing Europe as a solo traveler, a couple, a family or a group, in whichever style or combination you wish.I love to introduce first time travelers to Europe, guiding them every step of the way. If you have been to Europe several times, based on my connections with different travel suppliers, I enjoy to find you experiences that are off-the-beaten-path, like a stay in a castle, a Tuscan cooking class, a wine tasting tour in the Bordeaux region, a traditional meal on a local farm, a Home of Thrones Tour in Ireland, or a tour to see the Christmas Markets, to name a few.

In addition to my own travel, I regularly attend seminars online and supplier sponsored events to constantly further my knowledge about different travel products. I had the pleasure of meeting the managing director of Brendan Vacations, Catherine Reilly, in a seminar about travel to Ireland. Recently I attended the River Cruise exposition in Vienna to personally experience different river cruise lines, like Avalon and, Ama Waterways, Viking Cruises, Amadeus River Cruises, Riviera Travel, Emerald and Scenic Cruises, Riverside and Tauck Cruises, to name some of them.  Living in Manhattan allows me to attend different ship inspections when the ships are in port at the cruise terminals. This year I toured the Viking Star, the American Glory from American Cruise lines, the Silver Dawn from Silver Sea, the Carnival Venezia, the Azamara Quest and the Star Pride from Windstar. I completed a river cruise specialist course with Avalon, Ama Waterways and Viking River Cruises, and received travel certificates from the Globus and Trafalgar Family of Brands, Collette and CIE Tours. I am connected with different Europe Suppliers who only work with travel agents and with their help I can craft unique experiences for my clients.

Among the European countries that I visited in depth are- Austria- Italy- England- Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg- Germany- Switzerland- Spain- Portugal- Greece- France- Iceland- Eastern Europe - Croatia, Hungary, Serbia, Slovenia So, what are you waiting for?
