HI! I'm Elisa. I have been an avid traveler all my life and have visited yearly almost every country in Europe since the age of 10. Born and raised in Mexico and having dual citizenship, I understand both the American and the Mexican cultures and I am able to provide an insiders point of view, along with vast travel tips and experience for your travels to Mexico.

While studying at Harvard I met my husband, which was the main reason why I married into the travel business. His grandfather started several travel agencies in Massachusetts, one of them was later run by his parents and now it is run by my husband and I. Before we took over the company, my husband launched our Tour Operator and when we took over, we launched Azur Portugal, which is based in Portugal and Azur Mexico.

Our team both in the USA and Portugal are energetic and young people that proudly represent our companies values, are customer service oriented and will go above and beyond to make your travels memorable.

As a travel agent, I provide personalized travel planning for individual, couples, families, and groups. I grow my business with referrals from my clients, which I believe is a sign of their satisfaction and confidence in my services. In regards to our companies: 

• Azur Travel (previousl Columbia Travel) is a Travel Agency focused on creating any type of vacation, cruises, tours all over the world. 
• Tour Azores has been established as one of the best Tour Operators of Portugal, Azores and Madeira in North America.
• Azur Portugal, our youngest venture, is rapidly and steadily growing, offering unique and unconventional experiences in Azores, Madeira, and mainland Portugal.
• Similarly, Azur Mexico promises to provide you with an extraordinary Mexican adventure from an insiders point of view, so you can truly experience the culture.

If you are in need of help from an experienced travel professional, that has a customer's point of view, you are at the right place. Let us know what do you like and what you are looking for and we will make sure to find you the best available experience according to your style and budget.
