BILINGUAL TRAVEL SPECIALIST

My name is Marcie Perez and I am an enthusiastic and highly motivated Travel Professional at Gulliver's Travel in Bettendorf, Iowa. I enjoy working with people and helping them create/design their vacation of a lifetime. My European traveling experiences have taken me to places in Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, England. My main area of expertise is customizing itineraries and excursions to the Iberian Peninsula. Spain is a country that I am passionate about, from the Pyrenee Mountains to the tip of Gibraltar. Through the dusty roads lined with olive trees, the sun-soaked hills and the bustling life on the cobblestone streets. I have a great insight about the culture and customs and speak Castellano Spanish as well. I can walk you through everything from finding the best place to watch a Flamenco show, eat an authentic paella and navigate the endless array of tapas and wine. You will find yourself immersed in centuries-old traditions and a charismatic culture. You can feel, touch, taste, and hear the rich history of its people among the ancient Roman ruins, castles and cathedrals. Let me show you the Spain that inspired Ernest Hemingway and countless others.My love affair with Europe does not end in Spain. Traveling to numerous other countries in Europe has given me a great appreciation for all that Europe has to offer. I am lucky to have friends and family around the world, so not only have I been to a lot of cities, I have experiences es many of them through the eyes of a local. I have visited numerous museums,castles, cathedrals,monasteries and palaces, attended many sporting events, Flamenco shows,local festivals and bullfights. I can help you explore your options and design a streamlined vacation that will maximize your time and your enjoyment in any European destination, not to mention your budget. Whether it’s sipping sangria on the white sandy beaches of San Sebastian,experiencing the wonders of a local market, or going off-the-beaten path for a unique perspective of a different culture. I can take you there! These are all experiences I’ve been lucky enough to have. I would feel fortunate to be able to give these gifts of true, genuine travel to you.I am extremely lucky, fortunate and blessed to say that “I love my job”. Traveling and educating others about what the world has to offer is my passion. I have been educating young travelers for the past 25 years in the classroom and have now expanded my expertise by working as a travel consultant. Whether it is to the Caribbean, across the ocean to Europe, seeing the monuments in our wonderful United States or just relaxing somewhere quiet and secluded, contact me and I can make these dreams happen for you.
