Travel through the eyes of a Geographer

For 30 years I have been teaching university geography classes, enlightening and encouraging students to see and experience the world in diverse ways. My in-depth geographic knowledge gives me a unique understanding of the magic that comes from intricately planned trips full of local experiences, activities and opportunities that might be missed without that knowledge. I thrive when given the opportunity to collaborate with you to create a trip that perfectly suits you and your wants and needs. My experience in the travel industry traces back to the 1990's when I began work as a travel agent and simultaneously taught university tourism classes. I have led large and small groups through Europe since the early 2000's and created hundreds of itineraries around for travel around the globe. My biggest thrill is creating a trip that leaves awed by the experience and anxious to travel again.

BEST. TRIP. EVER.

Reviewed By Liz B. - Henderson, Nevada | Traveled to Europe
If you're at all nervous or stressed about planning a trip or vacation, look no further than Jill! She helped me plan a trip across Europe a few summers ago and was an absolute dream to work with! It was my first time traveling abroad and I was especially nervous about transportation between countries. Jill came in and helped me find buses, trains, and planes to get everywhere I needed to go at a reasonable price. She also aided me in finding different, fun activities to do in certain cities and was so patient with my many questions about traveling in foreign countries. I would definitely use her planning skills again for another trip!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Jill Knapp responded:
Thank you for your nice review, Liz! I am so happy that you enjoyed your trip so much! I hope I can help you again in the future! All my best, Jill

Very helpful. The rooms at the Kong Author Hotel in CPH, Denmark were too small. We were there for 4 nights and there were no drawers to put clothing away so we lived out of a suitcase. All in all, the trip was great and the sites we saw were wonderful.

LOVED my trip down to the second!

Reviewed By Abby - Utah | Traveled to Europe
Jill planned a five-week adventure in Europe that spanned nine countries, and the experience changed my life. I wasn’t just looking at tourist attractions; I was exploring them, climbing them, and learning about their history. She took me off the beaten path, too, and I walked through the hidden roads of small towns and ate food I’d never heard of. I experienced Europe with every part of myself, and never felt like I’d missed out on anything, all because of her planning skills. It’s an experience I look back on all the time, and that changed my perspective of the world. She doesn’t just plan vacations; she’ll fit every detail together until you not only fall in love with the place, but with traveling itself.

Lifelong memories!

Reviewed By Chuck - Houston, TX | Traveled to Europe
Jill planned a trip for a group of friends and I (roughly 30 people!) across Europe, and it was amazing! She found the perfect balance of authentic European experience and high-profile tourist “must see” activities. Her attention to detail and determination to fulfill her vision of “the perfect trip” truly made it a once in a lifetime experience! I could not praise her planning abilities any more. Her background as a geography professor makes her the perfect travel agent because she shares her wealth of knowledge in addition to seeing fun sights!I will ALWAYS travel with Jill!

A trip to be cherished!

Reviewed By DunWithCovid - Mapleton, UT | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
The thing I dread about trips is all the pre-planning and arranging. Jill took all that stress away and made it so easy! There were no surprises. We got to our destination without a single hiccup. The resort, Royal Islander, was absolutely beautiful. Our balcony was beachfront overlooking the most amazing views. Sunrise over the ocean everyday....therapeutic and cleansing to have the sound of the ocean to put us to sleep and wake up to. The food at the resort was ???????? If you are LDS, book with HelamanTours.com for the LDS perspective of any Mayan Ruins. We went to Chitzen Itza and Ek Balam. Phenomenal experience!! Helaman also took us to the Ik Kil Cenote to swim. So unique and picturesque! Great pricing for XPlor tickets thru LDScancundeals.com. Highly recommend XPlor!! We had a blast there. Get the photo package. So worth it! Included an amazing buffet. If you like high adventure activities, you'll love XPlor! Thank you Jill for finding this gem of a resort for us!
