South Florida Travel Agent Specialist

I want to share my knowledge with you as a South Florida travel agent professional. I know what attractions to recommend and can direct you to the ideal places to stay while visiting this friendly and sunny vacation destination. I have been to south Florida many times and love its beachfront parks, botanic gardens, and  coral reefs. I often suggest that visitors travel to Miami's Seaquarium, where they can swim with dolphins, or snorkel at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the first undersea park in the U.S.  Exploring South Florida's museums is another travel option, as they offer a great deal of information about nature, science, art, and the area's history. From Miami to Key Largo, South Florida invites travelers to relax and immerse themselves in water activities, shopping, and fine dining. As your travel agent for South Florida, I can suggest attractions that suit all age groups and preferences.  Where do you want to go? What would you like to do? As your travel agent, I am happy to offer my recommendations. For example, the Naples Botanic Gardens is one of South Florida's top attractions. Visit this popular site and see plants native to the region. The attraction features 170 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds and over 1,000 species of plants.  The gardens are separated into 7 separate ecosystems and tours are offered throughout the year. Whether you would like to get acquainted with South Florida's fauna and flora or want to schedule a golfing holiday, contact me by phone or online. Plan your South Florida vacation anytime of the year. I will be here.

Fabulous
I am big shopper and find my way to Miami every few months to visit the Design District and shops in SoBe. Over the past twenty years I have probably stayed in thirty hotels in Brickell and Miami Beach but always like to try my hand at a new property to switch things up. While my last travel advisor, Miss Ginger, retired, I was nervous to try someone new out. Let me just tell you, Matt is young and vibrant, eager to help cater to your every need. He chose the best flight times, hotel, and boat charters and kept in contact with me throughout the whole process. He definitely has a taste for luxury so keep that in mind when choosing to work with him (a plus for me but maybe not for a backpacker??).

Wonderful team bonding trip in Mexico!
Matt was great and communicative throughout the whole process. He helped us book excursions and kept in touch before we left.

Best of the Best
I think Matt is the best of the best. Already referred him to friends and family. Well worth the planning fee he charged for our group of 20. Gave us great rates on the resorts and found very affordable airfare.

Good Honesty
Matt is super nice and respectful. Very pleasant to work with but be prepared for his honesty. We were planning a trip to South Beach because we have not been since the 80's. After expressing that we wanted to stay on Ocean Drive, Matt simply told us that is "not a wise move". Well good thing we took his advice, because Ocean Drive is not the place it used to be! Miami Beach is still incredible and with his recommendations, you will have a great time. Best advice? Listen to his! Will use him again for our next trip.
