International travel can be overwhelming, especially when you have limited time to make the most of your travels. I personally like escorted tours when traveling internationally. It is one way to make the most of your precious time. The tour directors are well versed in the itineraries and have your safety and comfort at the top of their list. I have traveled internationally with my 4 children on escorted tours through The Amazon River, South Africa including a safari, and Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos. I have booked several clients on escorted tours throughout Europe and they have enjoyed their experience and felt like they got value from an escorted tour. Getting your luggage from one place to another can be cumbersome... but not on an escorted tour! They take care of that for you! Intravacation transportation and vetted accommodations are included, and some include some meals! Find out why this is a popular way to travel internationally!

Jill helped me plan a family cruise for Christmas this past year requiring 2 cabins. We had a last minute change of who was going. Jill was able to navigate all the changes for us and made it a seamless transition. Our family still talks about it being one of the best vacations we've had.

Alaskan Cruise on Princess
Reviewed By KristieL - Hanahan, SC | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Jill was on top of things! She reminded me about deadlines and gave me thorough information to pick the best excursions. She gave me the good and the bad so I was prepared for our trip and didn’t have any surprises! The chocolate covered strawberries and champagne was icing on the cake as we were celebrating our 15th annkversary!
Jill Messer responded
"What a perfect way to celebrate an anniversary! Alaska is such a special cruise, and I am glad that you enjoyed it!"

Sister sister vacation
Reviewed By Yolanda - Lexington SC | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Jill is the best. We booked this trip as a graduation gift for my 2 daughters. We had all sorts of trouble with our arrival flight due to cancellations and bad weather. Jill was just a phone call away. She was able to help us stay in contact with Globus as to our arrival time changes. She was a huge help during a time that was pretty stressful. We were able to arrive and enjoy an amazing vacation.
Jill Messer responded
"Phew! That was an adventure for sure! I know air delays and cancellations made it difficult getting there, but it was my privilege keeping them up to date to get your transportation and get you started on your tour when you arrived. I am glad you all arrived safely and enjoyed an amazing escorted tour of Italy! :) "

A December to Remember in Southeast Asia
In December 2024, we went on a SouthEast Asia tour of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos that was a guided tour. We started in Vietnam. In Ho Chi Minh, we stayed at the very nice Park Hyatt Saigon. We took a boat down the Mekong River, sampling fresh fruits and viewing the sites of the Mekong River. The family loved visiting the War Remnants Museum...
