Agent Specializing in Europe and Caribbean

I’ve had the pleasure of traveling to Europe on multiple occasions and it’s such an adventure! History surrounds you in Europe. Cities dating back centuries and the architecture stays true to it’s roots. Cruising the European river ways, sleeping in snow igloos in Norway, independent and guided vacations, small Weddings, Honeymoons, family heritage trips, outdoor adventures, cultural food and beverage experiences, searching for architectural and historical wonders, Religious Pilgrimages, private yachting, or simply relaxing on a beach are all my areas of expertise. Going to new countries and experiencing the local culture has a profound effect on everyone. It’s also one of the best ways to relax and improve our outlook on life. I want your vacation to be entirely unique and personalized, and I will focus on your interests and goals when booking your next trip.

Wonderful River Cruise

I have taken many trips organized and overseen by Rob - my most recent was a river cruise through Europe that brought together family and friends from more than one state. The trip itself was superb and went without a hitch - but the planning stages were also made significantly less troublesome with Rob's expert advice and guidance.

The Secret Weapon!

I began working with Rob 7 years ago....and he has booked 100s of air travel tickets, hotels nights and car transports for my business trips. He's always a delight, prompt and accurate in his service. In addition to booking all my travel nationally, he takes care of all international travel AND (perhaps his greatest assist to me) is when there are travel delays he works creatively and efficiently to find a route that will work.

Best travel agent ever

Reviewed By Nancy - St. Louis Mo | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Rob has guided us through many trips over the last five
years. Most recently he arranged an Alaskan cruise followed by a land tour through Alaska with time at the end to visit family in Seattle. Rob arranged all of the travel including airplane tickets, hotels, transfers and car rental. He always finds the most reasonable and convenient air flights. The hotel in Vancouver was within walking distance of the cruise pier which was perfect. Most importantly, he follows up if anything happens and makes calls on our behalf if there is an issue. He is wonderful to work with throughout the entire process of planning and traveling.

My family and I can be very particular but Rob was very patient and worked with us to plan the best trip that met all of our hopes and desires. It ended up being a very smooth trip, which was impressive considering how much travel occurred during the two weeks. Rob made it easy for us to attend the popular tourist destinations while avoiding long lines, get tickets on the best trains, and explore sites that were off the beaten trail. Without Rob's help, we would have been completely all over the place, standing in line waiting for tickets, and simply overwhelmed.

The best honeymoon ever!

Reviewed By Joanna & Jacob - St. Louis, MO | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Rob booked our honeymoon to Italy and Greece and it was absolutely perfect. He was very organized and detailed out every step of the way. Everything went so smoothly. He even booked another tour for us from the US when one was cancelled the day of. I would absolutely recommend Rob for your travel agent!

Great planning resulted in an exceptional trip!

Reviewed By Kathy - St. Louis | Traveled to Key West ~ Florida ~ USA
Rob took the time to really listen to what kind of experience we wanted to have and how much we wanted to spend, and then he put together a trip that not only met our expectations, but exceeded them in every way. His suggestions and recommendations were spot on every time - from which flights to take to the hotels we stayed in and even the car we rented. We could never have put a trip like this together on our own. His expertise made planning the trip stress-free and resulted in an exceptional experience!

Thank you for the review Kathy. Working with you and Joe was a great experience for me as well. I'm glad you two had a blast in Key West and were able to chill out before the busy holiday season starts.

Great time in Italy and Germany

Reviewed By Chris - St. Charles, Mo. | Traveled to Europe
My wife and I travelled with another couple to Italy and Germany for two weeks. It was our first experience using a travel agent, and we really didn't know what to expect. We met with Rob probably 3 or 4 times over a course of 4-6 months to 'fine tune' what we wanted to do. Rob had first hand experience and made many suggestions, and provided us information to help us make various decisions.

When we were all done planning, I felt it was a fairly intricate trip, with the way we planned to travel, sites we wanted to see and our accommodations.

Our final meeting with Rob before the trip was fantastic. He had folders for each couple, which included airline tickets, hotel reservations, train tickets, car reservations, event tickets and passes - and they were all color coded for easy identification.

Rob nailed it. Our trip went perfectly and we had a great time.

Our Honeymoon!

Reviewed By Chandni - St. Louis, MO | Traveled to Maui Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
FIVE STARS! Planning trips isn't easy, especially a honeymoon! We wanted it to be perfect, with enough time for relaxation and adventure, with luxury, yet within our budget, with all the fun, minus the stress! And Rob gave us exactly that. One meeting was all it took with Rob. He sat us down, asked us our top things we want to do, and made great recommendations too. He is experienced, knowledgeable, and such a pleasant person to work with. He had our trip planned in about a week, and when we decided to change activities/ flight seats etc, he complied without hesitation. Once we arrived at our honeymoon suite we had a hand written card by Rob congratulating us on our honeymoon waiting for us, next to the champagne too :) What a lovely time we had, and how easy Rob made it for us.. Would recommend him 100%.

50th Anniversary extended Family Trip!

Reviewed By Petunia - St. Louis MO | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Rob took care of all the details that we would not have known to do. Not only did he reserve the resort, but he made sure that all 15 of us in 6 rooms were in the same building. He arranged the transportation both arriving at the airport and departing which made it very simple. Rob arranged a snorkeling excursion for us with a very reliable company. They are so reliable that they cancelled it because the weather made it unsafe and refunded all our money. We had a wonderful time with our adult kids and their families.

Amazing Italian Honeymoon

Reviewed By Bria S. - Missouri | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Rob was amazing to work with! He helped plan our entire honeymoon traveling through Italy, which was such a relief in the midst of wedding planning. He was very informative about the different areas we visited and gave great recommendations on things to do and see based on what we wanted out of the trip. He had booked all of our flights, hotels, transportation, and excursions, and we couldn't be more appreciative and thankful for him. Our trip was wonderful!! I highly recommend him as he not only planned an amazing trip for us, but was an outstanding guy as well.

Always pleasant

Reviewed By Jen - Coralville, Iowa | Traveled to Puerto Vallarta ~ Jalisco ~ Mexico
I decided at the last minute to join a trip to Mexico Rob had previously scheduled for a group of my friends.

He assisted me on a Saturday and made sure I had everything I needed in a very short amount of time.

Rob is always pleasant and willing to respond to any questions or concerns. It takes some of the stress out of traveling.

Care-Free Travel!

Reviewed By Jan and Rich - Aurora, MO | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Rob has been our travel agent since 2008. He has always been responsive to our travel interests, suggesting tours or cruises that might fit into our schedule and budget. He does extensive research regarding a chosen travel package, and arranges it all, from transportation to the airport, flights, hotels, side excursions, tips, and transportation back home. He has been very patient when we ask and re-ask questions, which we unfortunately do a lot!

We recently needed to interrupt a trip due to a death in the family, and Rob initiated the process of getting a refund using our purchased travel insurance, in addition to arranging the necessary flights home.

We know that our trip will flow smoothly when Rob has arranged it. There are no surprises about cost, no confusion when arriving at our destination. He sends us copies and receipts of everything we need for our trip.

Winter Get-Away Trip

Reviewed By Jan - Lake St. Louis, MO | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Rob is easy to work with and always delivers! Rob listened to our preferences and found a great resort for our vacation. He arranged our air travel, transfer from the airport to the resort, and all the details for the return flight home. He sent us a confirmation e-mail of our airline check-in the day prior to our flights. In other words, we didn't have to do anything but show up and have a good time! He's very detail oriented and does everything in his power to make our trips stress free and enjoyable.
