About Me

I have spent more than 15 years in the luxury travel industry designing highly personalized journeys for discerning travelers who value exceptional service, trusted expertise, and unforgettable experiences.

I am a top-producing luxury travel advisor specializing in bespoke European travel, with a particularly strong focus on Italy, as well as France, Greece, Switzerland, and select high-end destinations across Europe.

Each year, I personally curate over 7-figures in luxury European travel for my clients, creating multi-city itineraries that seamlessly connect iconic destinations with authentic local experiences. From Rome and Florence to the Amalfi Coast, Lake Como, Sicily, and Puglia, I design deeply customized Italian journeys that blend five-star hotels, private drivers and guides, curated dining, and exclusive cultural access. My clients trust me to manage every detail so they can travel with complete confidence and ease.

I am a member of Luxury Leaders Alliance (a select group of luxury agents) and an invited participant to select luxury travel events, including DUCO Italy, Connections Luxury Europe, and the European Travel Agent Forum, reflecting my commitment to relationship-driven luxury travel and continuous destination immersion.

I travel extensively throughout Europe each year to personally inspect hotels, develop relationships with DMC partners, and refine my knowledge of emerging luxury destinations and experiences, ensuring my clients receive recommendations rooted in firsthand expertise rather than generic itineraries.

True luxury, in my philosophy, is defined by personalization, thoughtful design, and impeccable execution. I take the time to understand each client’s travel style, interests, and priorities, allowing me to craft itineraries that feel effortless yet entirely unique. Whether planning a honeymoon along the Amalfi Coast, a multi-generational family journey through Switzerland and France, a Greek island-hopping escape with private transfers, or a grand European celebration trip, every itinerary is built with intention and refined attention to detail.

Over the course of my career, I have developed strong, long-standing partnerships with luxury hoteliers, preferred hotel programs, cruise lines, and elite destination management companies. These relationships allow me to secure value-added amenities, VIP recognition, room upgrades when available, and elevated on-property experiences that significantly enhance the overall journey for my clients. My approach is deeply concierge-focused, handling everything from airport transfers and private touring to dining reservations and special celebrations.

In addition to serving private clients, I am recognized as a leader within the travel industry and frequently mentor and coach other travel advisors in building their high-end, service-driven businesses. I am honored to have been named Best Travel Agent in 2025 for the Best of St. Augustine Awards and #1 Agent in St. Johns County, FL, and to be featured regularly in GOSS Magazine. I also contribute a monthly luxury travel column to St. Johns Magazine, where I share destination insights and trends in high-end travel.

At the heart of my work is a belief that travel is not simply about the destination, but about meaningful experiences, connection, and lasting memories. My clients do not come to me simply to book trips; they come to me for trusted guidance, creative design, and complete peace of mind. I take great pride in delivering journeys that feel both seamless and extraordinary, and in building long-term relationships with travelers who return to me year after year.

My goal in every itinerary is not just to meet expectations, but to exceed them, creating travel experiences that feel personal, elevated, and unforgettable. I am passionate about continuing to build strategic partnerships with luxury suppliers and destination experts who share my commitment to excellence, and to consistently raise the standard of service I provide to my clients.

Your Bespoke European Journey Starts Here

Your vacation should feel effortless, personal, and extraordinary. I design bespoke luxury journeys tailored to your preferences, whether you are dreaming of Italy’s iconic cities, a romantic French escape, or island hopping in Greece. With over 15 years of experience in the travel industry and strong relationships with trusted partners worldwide, I provide concierge-level planning, VIP touches, and seamless coordination from start to finish. My goal is simple: for you to relax, explore, and create unforgettable memories while I take care of every detail.

Our trip to Rhodes, Greece was amazing!
Reviewed By PHTravelLover - Ponte Vedra, FL | Traveled to Rhodes Island | Greece | Europe
Vanessa found us a beautiful boutique hotel near the town of Lindos in Rhodes. The room was everything we wanted and had beautiful sunrise views of the town of Lindos, the Acropolis and the sea!! We were walking distance from resraurants, shops, the beach and the Acropolis! We arrived late on the day and he airport was about an hour from our hotel. Vanessa arranged a transfer to get us to our hotel. Everything was perfect!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Wow, what a magical trip. Vanessa helped us from start to finish. Did not have to worry about a single thing. She took care of everything from places to say, places to eat, one-of-a-kind tours, And even some surprises along the way. The trip was more than amazing and I couldn’t have been more pleased. If you truly want the white glove service look no further.

10 STARS
Reviewed By Sabrina - TX | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Vanessa Kromer is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! My son and I went to Disney and Universal (with not much notice) and she went above and beyond to help us. She answered every question I had (and I had a lot). We spoke on the phone where she talked me through tips, tricks, Genie+, Lightning Lanes, weather, bag policies, food, magic bands, EVERYTHING. And every single night she would message me reminders of things I might need or want to do for the park I was going to the next day. She was so extremely accessible and I felt like a pro just by following her advice. I've used her in the past for a cruise... and now we have our Real Estate company using her for our company travel. She is just the BEST!!! 10 STARS! Definitely recommend.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

We Drank the Disney Juice
Reviewed By Emily P - Michigan | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
My husband and I came up with the idea of going to Disney in October 2021. Not sure where to begin, I knew I needed a TA. It wasn't easy for me to find one that I could click with until I met Vanessa. She was very knowledgeable and available. Any question or concern I had, she was able to answer - and I asked A LOT, sometimes the same question multiple times! She provided thorough information and insight as to how we should plan our trip. I loved how she also would reach out to me to see how things were going, even while we were at the park and she would even advise what I needed to do for the next day. And after! Even though we never met, I feel as though we did...and I am going to miss my (practically) daily texts with her...until the next trip!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
