Specializing in Food & Fun Experience Travel
Food opens the door to sharing, fun & learning.
The perfect trip is a tapestry of experiences that take in all 5 of your senses including taste.
Many clients, like me, find that food-related experiences are a great way to learn about the local people, culture and history. Walking food tours, craft beer tastings, farm meals, sampling Gluehwein on a Christmas Markets River cruises, and co-op plantation visits are examples of the many fun opportunities there are for you to "taste" local life and to enjoy the camaraderie your fellow travelers and local residents of where you are visiting.
I offer multiple choices for you to highlight this type of travel in your vacation from TLN’s Culinary Collection to our annual hosted “foodie cruise.”
I would love to introduce you to "foodie travel!" Are you ready to get planning your next adventure?

My Areas of Expertise
A Great Group Cruise!
Reviewed By Candy - Newport, WA | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Connie George Travel Associates took care of the arrangements for our group cruise and I couldn't be happier with the results. We all came from different parts of the US, and Connie arranged for hotels and transfers for everyone, so we didn't have to worry about how we would get to the ship, or even if we would make it on time. She was very easy to work with, answered all of our questions and was great in the communication department. She planned some fun activities for us on our at-sea days and arranged for some cool individual shore excursions. And there were a few extras here and there too. The only thing we had to do was pack , and Connie even offered tips of things to "not forget" while we were packing. We all had a great time and I will definitely use Connie again.

Best experience of our lives!
Reviewed By Kerry - Port Orange, Florida | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
We were looking to go on our first cruise and decided on Alaska. We were put in touch with Connie George through family to help us on the trip. WOW what a great experience. The communication with her was fantastic and she was able to obtain more perks that we thought we were going to get. Because of all of the hard work she did on our cruise, we were able to cruise in style in suites on the Celebrity cruise ship with so much included. She got us extra on board credit and even got our suite bumped up for us. Because we have never done this before we were very nervous, but Connie made it the easiest experience we have ever had. She took care of everything. We just had to show up and enjoy. She is the only one we trust with our travel plans. No one will work harder and care so much for you as she does. As a matter of fact, she is helping us book a transatlantic cruise as we are writing this! Thank you Connie!!!

Connie has been key in planning many successful, fun cruise vacations. She is very detail oriented and is always looking out for/guiding her clients. Connie listens to your aspirations and your budget and collaborates to meet our objects. She has stretched beyond the cruise aspect on several international trips and has provided us with some amazing experiences, from Rio de Janeiro to Shanghai to Viet Nam. Also, her communications are timely and on point. She has also been very good at keeping us grounded when we start overcomplicating things. And Connie is fun to work with!!!

Change of Course Cruise

Connie is always right on top of things, recommends the best cabins, gets us the best deals, and gives us great trip advice! This cruise was originally scheduled for Egypt and Israel. The itinerary was changed to the Greek Isles and Turkey and we opted to still cruise - why not?! Amazing ports of call, great food, lots of ancient ruins - always fascinating to explore new places!

Longtime Client - Long-Term Friend
Reviewed By ChefMike - Tucker, GA | Traveled to Caribbean
I have known and worked with Connie for 12 years, when she started handling a large group cruise that I participated in each Fall for many years. We immediately hit it off because I had worked in travel many years earlier. She always went above and beyond with this group (often numbering well over 350 guests) and escorted the group to “herd the cats.” Her pre-cruise handling of details and her availability during the trips was always exceptional. Over these many years we have also become friends, which I treasure. I just got back from a 14-day cruise with 5 other couples (my cruise family) whom Connie made arrangements for. Everyone was very pleased with her attention to detail and follow up with our bookings and I’m happy to report that we have all booked next year’s trip with her agency as well.
I highly recommend Connie for any/all travel needs, from an individual trip to a large group.

But especially happy when there's an additional friendship that's born out of that travel relationship. Thanks, as always for entrusting me and my agency with your trips and for your confidence in referring your friends. -Connie
