See Europe in a different way

I believe that the best way to see Europe isn't from the seat of a coach. I'm all about exploring Europe from a different perspective - like from the saddle of a bike, or from the sun deck of an unhurried river cruise. I want you to not only see Europe, but experience it, taste it and feel it. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a newbie, let me help you create a journey that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.

My Travel Specialties

I'm a Specialist in European River Cruises

Life is short. The world is wide. Rivers are long.
Many people are nervous about exploring Europe on their own. And some folks have done the independent touring, and are ready to let someone else do the driving. And cooking. And planning. A river cruise is a fantastic option for either set of travelers ... Read more from my I'm a Specialist in European River Cruises bio.

There are views that you only get from a bike
BIKE TOURS?? Seeing the scenery of Europe from the saddle of a bike is an experience that truly immerses you in the landscape and the culture. Whether you regularly kit up and take your road bike for a challenging ride, or would have to dust off ... Read more from my Bike Tours in Europe & US (e-bikes, too!) bio.

The 100th Tour de France

The CBB (Cute Blonde Boy) and I are big cycling fans. When we realized (in about 2010) that the 100th edition of the Tour de France was coming up (in 2013), we decided to go and follow it. Tous le Tour de France. Because...why not?

Once the route was announced in October, we (rather, I) booked airfare ... Read more from my The 100th Tour de France story.

Thailand Adventure

Reviewed By Barb H - St Paul, MN | Traveled to Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
Pam is always on top of every travel detail! She has always provided excellent trip/excursion options and even breaks down flight options for easy review! She provides excellent customer service, and I know she’s always looking out for me even while I’m on my adventure. It shows she really loves what she does and should be proud of her work.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I do love what I do, and I love it even more when I get to peek in on a client's trip through amazing photos like the ones you two posted daily. I'm SO glad you had such a great adventure (I expect to try your version of a passion fruit mojito someday....) Can't wait to help you with your next journey!

A model for future travel

Reviewed By KC - Oakland CA | Traveled to France ~ Europe
This trip will be a model for how my husband and I want to travel in the future. Every tour and guide Pam assisted us with was informative and interesting. This was our first experience of having private or very small group guided day tours. Being able to chat with a local guide was the next best thing to meeting up with a friend who lived in the area. The hotels in Strasbourg, Luzerne, and Basel were perfectly located and nicely designed for our tastes and needs. The daily assistance from Guide Along and the Voice Map was reliable and helpful. Pam's help with last minute needs, like delayed luggage and setting up a private car, really made this trip as stress free as travel can be.
We look forward to Pam's help with future travel needs.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Pam de Jong responded:
It was a delight to work with you, and I'm SO glad we could find a driver for you at the last minute! I enjoyed finding great hotels and guides for you, and hope you've got lots of amazing photos (and more than a few souvenirs)! Looking forward to helping with your next adventure!!!

My musical tour of the West of Ireland

Reviewed By John - Superior, CO | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
Pam was so very helpful with suggestions and efforts to enhance the convenience as well as saving money where it made sense to do so. Pam was such a helpful guide that my wife and I intend to use her services for future leisure travel. When I picked up my rental vehicle at Shannon Airport, the agent said: "I couldn't rent this car to you for three days for your fee for two weeks." I said: "I have a very good travel agent." He said: "Yes, you do." 'Nuff said!

Pam de Jong responded:
It was such a pleasure to help with your self-drive Ireland adventure. I hope fond memories of the Wild Atlantic Way come to mind frequently!

Norway, the Land of Fjords

Reviewed By Patty and Jack - Lone Tree, Colorado | Traveled to Norway ~ Europe
Pam has been the best travel agent we've ever used. She is thorough and helpful throughout our planning and travel. Despite a two year Covid delay, Pam continued to keep us informed about international travel and current restrictions. She helped us during our trip and was quick to respond to any questions we had even if she was away. We had no problems with our trip. Everything went exactly as Pam planned.

Emergency Change of Plans!

Reviewed By Prof Dale - Texas | Traveled to France ~ Europe
We used Pam's service to plan a trip to France to attend a wedding in the countryside, and to visit other destinations along the way. Two days before we departed, my wife became very ill and was unable to travel on our scheduled departure date. This created a very complicated scramble regarding hotel and transportation reservations. Pam worked with us intensively to get all of the original arrangements cancelled and re-booked in a very short time. She researched new options for us to consider, and found solutions to a number of conundrums. Pam took into consideration that my wife needed to both recuperate and travel, and Pam's advice was spot-on at every turn (including advice that we chose not to take, and later wished that we had). We are extremely pleased with Pam's excellent service and we strongly recommend her for your travel planning.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Pam de Jong responded:
I'm gutted that you had to miss a return visit to a special location, but we can add that to the Must-Do list for a future trip. :) You're a delight to work with, and I'm looking forward to hearing stories from your next adventure!

Great trip to Iberostar resort in Mexico

Reviewed By Big Dave - Brighton, Colorado | Traveled to Mexico
I loved working with Pam to set up our trip to Mexico. She is a very up, friendly person. She kept us informed and up to date on changes and gave us tips about traveling. She even mailed us little cards printed up in Spanish explaining that my wife has a Gluten allergy that we were able to give to the waiters at the resort. Pam was just great.

Pam de Jong responded:
It was my pleasure to get you two set up for a great (and much-needed!) getaway. I love seeing folks in beautiful settings like that -- glad you enjoyed it.
