Galapagos Tortoise - what a good looking guy!

     A vacation to the Galapagos Islands is on many bucket lists, but there is a lot to consider when planning it. As a trained travel agent with connections in the destination, and having also visited the destination myself,  I help my clients make a trip to the Galapagos perfect for YOU.  It might be a cruise with a mainstream cruise line. Celebrity Flora is a favorite as is Silversea.  But for you, it might be a luxury small cruise.  It might be a more rugged expedition type cruise or maybe a private charter. It could also be a land based tour, with day trips to the islands via boat.  I have vetted industry contacts to meet all of these needs. Many of my clients who visit the Galapagos also wish to extend their trips and venture into the Amazon, or the many interesting areas near the UNESCO city of Quito like the Cloud forest or Cotapaxi Mounain,  or Peru.  I can help put all of these pieces together making planning and the trip itself less stressful and less subject to pitfalls.   This is one of those really special sorts of vacations that deserves careful consideration and planning, and I am here to help you with all of it.

Wonderful Agent
We booked our European vacation, including a river cruise and an additional week in Germany, with Diane over 1 year ago. Who knew Covid would still be so prevalent in our lives. We are in the process of rebooking and she could not be more accommodating. Diane has been there every step of the way, keeping us informed and giving us options. She has been so patient and helpful with our questions, and concerns. Diane is amazing at what she does. She truly cares about her clients. I would highly recommend her for any type of vacation plans you are considering. She is very knowledgeable and well traveled.

Trip of a lifetime!
We contacted Diane earlier this year to begin our travel plans to Italy. Diane was not only super responsive and friendly but she was also very knowledgeable in the cities we were considering in Italy. She travels frequently to several destinations each year. I think this is a huge advantage when she makes recommendations on travel plans, excursions and hotels.

We gave Diane tentative dates and cities and she was able to quickly put together several options. Everything was handled with exceptional attention to detail.

Our vacation was absolutely perfect. Every hotel check-in, train ride, flight, car service, and excursion went perfectly! Her list of preferred vendors and hotels can not be beat.

We absolutely recommend Diane's services to any one looking for the ultimate vacation experience.

The best trip of our lives!
Diane planned our first trip to Spain and we couldn't have done it without her. She was detailed, quick, and answered every question I had. She planned our whole trip, which included transportation to/from airport, train rides, hotels, and excursions. Diane was fantastic and I highly recommend her.

Above-and-beyond every step of the way
I have known Diane for over 30 years and she is one of the most elegant people I know. So, luxury travel is right up her alley. However, I put our friendship to the test and asked her to find me a "City Slickers" style cattle drive. And she did not disappoint! I am just back from my week on the range and am a better person for it. Not only did she ply her network to find the best outfitter, but she made the initial contacts and set me up with top-shelf travel insurance. 'Cause you never know what's going to happen out there. Upon my return, I thought I left my iPad in airport security and Diane committed to help me out (and I quote) "I will do whatever it takes to make it right for you on my end". She is truly the best of the best, don't think twice about contacting her.

Diane Frisch responded:
Thanks so much, Joni - I am so glad that the trip was everything you had wished for! I am glad I could work my connections to find you the best guides to put this together, and that your IPad was so quickly located! Your review means the world to me and I am truly grateful.
