Journeys: Explore Southern Africa

I can plan a wide variety of vacations for you. Whether you're interested in river cruises, escorted luxury tours, theme park trips like Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort, or independent trips to Europe (including popular destinations like London, Paris, Italy, Spain, and Ireland), I've got you covered. I also arrange cruises with Virgin Voyages, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, and other guided tours. Recently, I've added African Safaris to my offerings. If you have any specific requests or are unsure, just ask!

While you can find plenty of information online, nothing beats the experience and knowledge of a professional Travel Advisor. Online sources can often be outdated or incorrect. Additionally, the cheapest deals usually come with poor service and strict cancellation policies. With Trips by Mary, you get personalized service from a real person who understands your unique needs and preferences. Save your valuable time and let me handle all the details for you.

I've got your best interests in mind. If you book a vacation through me and a special offer that suits your plans becomes available later, I'll do everything possible to secure that offer for you. I'll handle the long hours on the phone so you don't have to.

Absolutely! Depending on the travel vendor and the timing of your booking, I may be able to take over the management of your vacation. Let's discuss your situation and see what we can arrange. Alternatively, I offer consultation services on a fee basis, ranging from $200 for a simple tip sheet to $500 or $1000 for a detailed vacation plan or concierge services. Feel free to contact me at [mary@tripsbymary.com](mailto:mary@tripsbymary.com) for more details.

Great question! We start with a phone or Zoom meeting to discuss your travel plans. I'll ask about your preferences, such as who is traveling, desired destinations, travel dates, and specific priorities like a great beach, French cuisine, or unique experiences like swimming with whale sharks. Based on this information, I'll find destinations, resorts, and experiences that match your needs. I'll assist you in making decisions, and your payments will go through me to the respective travel vendors. I'll be there every step of the way to ensure you're prepared for an amazing trip!
