Getaway to Mexico and stay forever. That is how it goes right? The Yucatan Peninsula and Riverira Maya is an incomparable stretch of paradise. The Margaritas and authentic tacos are the finishing touch. I have spent time in this area, with Tulum a...

Croatia Luxury Travel Agent Expert

Many travelers do not know that Croatia, once known as Yugoslavia, is very safe to travel. The country's Byzantine art, delicious foods, and picturesque towns makes for a compelling European escape and holiday. That is why I love to share information, as a travel agent, for this crescent-shaped country in Eastern Europe. Sitting in the northwest portion of the Balkan Peninsula, Croatia is geographically diverse. The capital of Zagreb spans the north while the popular city of Dubrovnik overlooks the Adriatic Sea in southern Croatia. I like to suggest a trip to Dubrovnik, as the city is both picturesque and interesting historically and architecturally. Dubrovnik, which has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, regularly receives vast numbers of visitors, many of whom are day-trippers or cruise-goers. If you go during the summer, it can be difficult to find accommodations. That is why, as a travel agent advisor, I recommend travel times, such as the spring or fall, when the city is less congested. Durbrovnik's history, just like Croatia's, has been defined by a struggle - one where the people have perpetually worked toward remaining independent. The former name of the city was Ragusa, which translates, in English, to "rock." The name still appears on museums and flags in the walled city. Another good city to visit in Split, the ideal hub for exploring the Dalmatian Islands. If you head toward this destination, you will want to direct your travels to the islands' beaches, including their rustic restaurants that you will find further inland. Both sun worshippers and windsurfers love this part of Croatia, known for its Golden Cape - a well-known shingle beach. Shingle beaches are rare and are made up of pebbles, stones, and other small rocks instead of sand. A trip to the capital of Zagreb will lead you to some interesting Austro-Hungarian buildings, including the city's Gothic Cathedral and St. Mark's Church, built in the 1200s. The pedestrian-friendly Tkalciceva Street is home to outdoor cafes while you will find the central square in Lower Town. Would you like to learn more about a trip to Croatia? If so, I am your go-to travel agent for this fascinating country. Give me a call or email me anytime for planning your ideal holiday.

Great Trip planned by an even Greater Travel Agent
Monique did a wonderful job planning a family trip for myself and my siblings to Williamsburg, VA. While I was already somewhat familiar with the area, she was able to provide us information on 'hidden gems' within the area that we were not aware of!
She was very thorough from the beginning to end of the trip by all the right questions to ensure she had all information needed to plan a wonderful family vacation. She was very responsive to all questions and did a great job of ensuring we were as prepared as possible for our long weekend. She made sure we were able to include fun activities for everyone (children and adults) as we visited Busch Gardens, Lounged out on the beach for a day, and we were even able to do a little retail therapy at the Tanger Outlets after a little wine tasting at the Williamsburg Winery (only the adults ;-) ). I cannot wait until my family is ready for another weekend retreat, as we will be reaching out to Monique for her wonderful services once again.

It doesn’t get any better than this!
Monique Bonds deserves the highest praise for her outstanding assistance. She expertly coordinated our trip, ensuring a smooth experience from beginning to end. Her frequent check-ins and confirmation of excursion arrangements were greatly appreciated. As a first-time traveler abroad with my family, I had some initial concerns, but Monique's thorough guidance alleviated these worries. Her prompt responses to my inquiries demonstrated her impressive expertise.

First trip out the US!
Monique was absolutely incredible! She was so thorough and consistent, but especially PATIENT!!! We made so many changes to the trip itself and had so many bumps on our end but Monique was always kind and had great tips. She helped me with the process with getting our passports and answered the millions of questions I tossed her way! She gave me a variety of options and the more we spoke, the more I saw she would pick up on our wants/needs and she would cater her suggestions to those things. The consistency didn’t stop once we went on the trip either! First of all before we even get to the airport she made sure to give us any last minute reminders and tips as this was our first time traveling internationally, but while on the trip she was checking in as well. When I was dissatisfied with something at our resort, she called right away and made sure the resort treated us like royalty for the remainder of the trip! My husband and I find booking and planning trips so overwhelming and we wo

Second Time Around!
Monique was incredibly attentive, with a keen eye for detail and excellent follow-through on every piece of our trip. She was always available to problem-solve and intervene for any in destination unplanned inconveniences. Most importantly, she was a great listener as before. Would recommend.
