We believe that travel is an experience to be shared. But group leaders often find that organizing group travel can be time consuming and sometimes stressful. That’s where we come in. We do all of the work, planning, tracking bookings & payments, coordinating special requests with the cruise ship, tour company or resort, distributing travel documentation, arranging for group transportation, etc. which in turn allows all members of the group to truly enjoy the experience of travel - including you as the group leader!
