About Bob
Customizing leisure travel experiences for couples, families and small groups with an emphasis on Western and Southern European itineraries is my principal focus. I also specialize in low-impact adventure travel, small luxury ocean cruises and European river cruises. In addition, our six travel counselors provide complete travel services for couples and groups seeking cruise travel, family travel, romance travel, faith-based travel and special needs travel.
As a boutique travel service, we have built relationships with travel partners on four continents and have carefully selected agent colleagues who share my passion for travel and a desire to serve clients with respect and integrity.
I personally have traveled in 70+ countries on six continents and taken more than 50 cruises on rivers and oceans around the world. Understanding the world of leisure travel, as well as your travel objectives, is vital to exceeding your needs and desires. It’s also how I create special travel experiences for each of my clients.
