About Me

Iguazu Falls on the border of Brazil & Argentina

When it comes to small group luxury tours, I trust two names above all: Abercrombie & Kent and Tauck Tours. These companies don’t just plan trips—they craft experiences where every detail is anticipated, every need is met, and every moment feels effortless. Their tour guides are masters of hospitality, blending deep local knowledge with a gift for making guests feel truly cared for.

Over the years, I’ve booked many journeys with both providers, and my clients consistently return with glowing reviews. They speak of seamless itineraries, stunning accommodations, and guides who feel more like lifelong friends. It’s the kind of travel that leaves you changed—inspired, relaxed, and full of stories to share.

One tour that stands out in my memory is Tauck’s “Essence of South America,” a 12-day adventure that was nothing short of magical. It began in Rio de Janeiro, where guests stayed three nights at the legendary Belmond Copacabana Palace, soaking in the city’s vibrant energy and coastal beauty. From there, they flew to Iguacu Falls, spending three days surrounded by breathtaking natural wonder. Next came Buenos Aires, a city of tango, charm, and rich culture, followed by a final stop in Santiago, Chile—nestled between the Andes and the Pacific, offering a perfect blend of elegance and exploration.

Throughout the journey, every detail was handled with care—from luxury hotels and gourmet meals to smooth transitions between destinations. Guests didn’t have to think about logistics—they were free to immerse themselves in the experience.This is the kind of travel I love to share.

Whether you're dreaming of South America, Africa, Europe, or beyond, Abercrombie & Kent and Tauck Tours deliver journeys that are as enriching as they are indulgent. I’m proud to recommend them, and even prouder to help you find the perfect itinerary.

Let’s plan something unforgettable.

Best Travel Planner!
Reviewed By Jackie - Southlake, TX | Traveled to Venice ~ Italy ~ Europe
Doug has handled my travel arrangements on several trips including cruises to Alaska, the Baltic and most recently from Venice to Athens and arranged stays both pre and post cruise at exceptional boutique hotels.

We have traveled to London, Paris, Rome, Tuscany, Florence, the Amalfi Coast, Venice, Athens, Anchorage and Vancouver plus several trips within the continental U.S.

He has arranged stays in Turks and Caicos at a wonderful house with a phenomenal sailboat excursion where we were able to swim with Jojo - a wild dolphin and his mate.

He has pre-arranged dinners at exceptional restaurants throughout Europe in conjunction with our cruises or pre/post cruise travels.

I could not recommend anyone higher than Doug. He made all the travels wonderful and worry free even during Covid.

Taking the stress out of planning!
Reviewed By Cmalik - Frisco | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
Doug was an exceptional planning partner. In my 30 years as a corporate administrator, I have rarely been as pleased as I was working with Doug. He accomplished quite a few last-minute miracles for us. He was very communicative, highly organized and courteous. He really understood our group needs and it is a pleasure to say that we will definitely use him for next year's trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
