Custom Travel Itineraries

Eleuthera, Bahamas

Eleuthera, Bahamas

I specialize in creating custom travel itineraries focused on adventure, history, culture and cuisine. From my home base in New Orleans, I will go the proverbial “extra mile” to ensure couples, families and individual travelers get a total-immersion travel experience each and every time.

Approaching a destination as a local instead of a tourist takes a lot of planning, and that’s where I am invaluable. Custom itineraries spare you from seeking out group tours and being shuttled around with 50 other people on a bus. I will go out of my way to create a totally different experience for you.

I feel that in order to fully immerse yourself in a destination, you have to dig deeper. I cater to discerning travelers who want to experience adventure, hidden gems, locals-only favorites, and truly authentic moments while visiting a destination.

No place is out of the question when giving me the reigns of vacation planning – but I do have some personal favorites. In addition to the Caribbean, Central America and Europe, I wholeheartedly recommend traveling to the Out Islands of the Bahamas, particularly the Abacos, Exuma and Eleuthera.

Whether craving resort-style pampering, tent-sleeping on a deserted island, olive-oil tasting in Florence, or sizzling up fresh ceviche on a private fishing boat charter, I know exactly how to get you from “dreams to schemes” with no planning on your own part. Swimming with pigs or rappelling down a waterfall in Belize? No problem!

I recently completed the Bahamas Specialist and Belize Specialist certifications through Travel Agent Academy, the Ireland Specialist certification through Trade Ireland, and I also hold Avalon Waterways, Cosmos and Monogram Specialist certificates through Globus.

I enjoy planning trips just as much as the traveling itself, as I can spend hours researching and learning about a destination and never get bored. I put my skills, intuition, and sense of adventure to work for clients in the same way I approach my own family getaways. The outcome is truly a one of a kind vacation!

Finally Getting to Travel!

Reviewed By Nola Family - New Orleans, Lousiana | Traveled to Europe

We loved working with Nicole! As a family, we really like vacations with very few scheduled plans. We knew that traveling to Europe this June was not going to allow us that luxury. Nicole helped guide us in prioritizing our "Must Dos." She made reservations for the things we would be sad about missing . Nicole worked with us to space out reservations to leave us plenty of time to roam and explore. With two adults, an 18 year old son, & a twelve year old daughter, we had a lot of different ideas! In Paris, we saw the Catacombs, go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, made our own perfumes, had a graffiti lesson, and ate at a Michelin Star restaurant. In Scotland, we took a Harry Potter Tour, saw puffins on the Isle of May, took an amazing two day bus tour into the Highlands, and had a whiskey tasting tour. During our tour, Nicole would check on us, contact us in case she thought something might be tricky, and was able to answer questions we had. She helped us have a wo

Bucket List Trip

Reviewed By PaulMac - Danvers, MA | Traveled to Zurich ~ Switzerland ~ Europe

Nicole was outstanding. She was our guardian angel in the months prior in planning and organizing the flights and the actual river cruise. Nicole was constantly vigilant in watching our interests and pushing back successfully against excessive airline fees.

High confidence in using this travel again.

Reviewed By Erin - Vadnais Heights, MN | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean

Wowsers! Our trip to the Abaco islands and renting a powercat to navigate ourselves would have been very intimidating without Nicole. She helped us out in every manner including what to pack and buy on the islands. We made great memories and wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

LSU Men's Lacrosse Program

Reviewed By LSU Men's Lacrosse Program - Baton Rouge, Louisiana | Traveled to Texas ~ USA

Nicole has been helping our LSU Men's Lacrosse Program with our travel coordination for the past two full seasons! Not only do we have a roster of 40+ players and coaches to organize, we make multiple trips at various locations throughout the country to compete against top teams in the MCLA. Nicole has always been very patient, composed and completely on top of her game in regards to getting everything accomplished that we ask - And it can be A LOT! We are very grateful for her services and would advise any travel team, family, or just the every day person to take advantage of it as well!

Easy weekend getaway

Reviewed By Joann Huynh - Kenner, La | Traveled to Gulf Shores ~ Alabama ~ USA

Nicole was amazing to work with. She was quick finding my hotel and secured the room within hours of me asking her for help with my mini getaway with my family. She was very helpful as I was particular with the hotel we wanted. Once we arrived she even sent me a text to make sure our check in process went smooth. I will and look forward to using Nicoles travel services in the future also! I have already referred friends to her also!
