Europe Expert Agent
London
I have a passion for travel and I excel at matching my clients with their dream itinerary. Designing custom European vacations is my specialty. All travelers have very specific needs and interests and escorted tours don't always meet all of those needs. You have the option of working with me to build a personally designed itinerary or choosing the perfect escorted vacation for you.
My job as your personal travel advisor is to help you choose the vacation option for you to the places you want to explore, all within your budget. Together we can create a trip that is both affordable and memorable.
Give me a call to explore the possibilities.

Greece and Italy Trips - Our Way. Thanks, Joyce!!
Reviewed By cbhodgin - Winston-Salem, NC | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
We’ve worked with Joyce on several custom international adventures. Joyce helped us plan and book our trips the way we wanted. All accommodations and travel met or exceeded our expectations. At times we unexpectedly received five star service for three star costs. Joyce did her research and used her connections to find unique experiences for us. A pleasure to work with!
