About Me

Specializing in Custom Tours and Experiences

Mike loves to put together trips that specifically caters to you and your family and friends to make your next vacation the best one yet. Whether you love history, whether you travel for food, or would love to incorporate your favorite activity (hello skiing, biking, scuba, art, photography - you name it) into your next vacation, my favorite thing to do is to figure out how to make that happen for you. Myself, I love to ski and I love to travel the world. So, I've skied in Chile, Austria, France, Switzerland and Italy but I always try to include some amazing sights and tours along with the skiing. I can make that happen for you with skiing or whatever activity you like to do. I can also make custom itineraries for groups where there are a mix of interests. I have access to tour providers and resorts that can make your next vacation (and the ones after that) better than ever. I look forward to working with you.

Ski Trip Specialist!
Reviewed By Johnny B - Farmington, UT | Traveled to Chile ~ South America
The best travel agent I have ever dealt with! Mike with Designer Travel Agency helped me book a ski trip with my buddies. All arrangements were made in advance, and everything went so smoothly. I couldn't have asked for more. The knowledge he has about traveling and making it easy was so important to me. I will definitely be using Mike again. And not just for ski trips, he has a wealth of knowledge about traveling anywhere around the globe.

Great Cruise - Mike will help pick the perfect one
Reviewed By P Henderson - Draper, Utah | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Mike set us up with a cruise on the Royal Caribbean Ship, Utopia of the Seas! The Utopia was awesome and we did all the things. Zip Line, Rock Wall, Ice Cream, water slides, water show, main show, ice skating show, escape room, kids place, gunnysack slide - all of it!
Coco Cay was amazing, Nassau was fun. Mike set our family up with connecting balconies and helped us find the perfect cruise for our family on our kid's school break. I can't recommend Mike enough!
Michael Bringhurst responded
"Paul! Thank you so much for the kind review and for letting me plan your cruise. I'm so glad your family enjoyed the Utopia of the Seas, what an amazing ship. I'm looking forward to the next vacation your fun family has planned. Thank you, thank you!"

    It pays to go with experience! Europe, Japan etc!
    Mike has helped me with trip planning on many occasions. I don’t know anyone who loves travel and has had more experience traveling than him. We’ve been places on trips that we would never have found or known about without the details he so often shares with us.
