About Us
Dandelions &
Our Travel Philosophy
Dandelions -
the expert traveler
We frequently think of Dandelions as common weeds, but they have been used in traditional medicines, celebrated in horticultural societies, are a growing first-aid kit, and are nutritious.
Dandelions are expert travelers; they’re delicate, beautiful, useful, and steeped in experience. They go wherever the breeze takes them, and in that place, they find an experience that transforms them!
For us, that is the heart of travel. Whether it be for a family vacation, adults-only, reunion, honeymoon, anniversary, or friends’ trip, our vacation experiences transform us.
If you've ever touched a dandelion, you know they are both sensitive and resilient flowers - delicate and balanced. Planning a vacation requires the same approach. We take your travel plans and wishes seriously and will be sensitive to your travel musts, wants, and dreams.
Let us bring an added touch to your travel plans with my industry expertise and meticulous attention detail. Together, we can transform your whimsy into a lifetime memory.
Why use a travel advisor?
Expertise and Knowledge
Travel advisors are professionals who specialize in the travel industry. We have extensive knowledge and experience in planning and organizing trips, which saves you time and effort. We handle all the research, bookings, and logistics.
Time and Effort Savings
Planning a trip can be time-consuming and overwhelming, especially if you have specific preferences or complex itineraries. We can take care of all the details, such as flights, accommodations, transportation, tours, and activities, based on your preferences. This saves you valuable time and effort that you can spend on other priorities.
Personalized Service
We take the time to understand your travel preferences, interests, and budget to provide personalized recommendations tailored to your needs. This helps ensure that you have a memorable and enjoyable trip. We can suggest unique experiences, off-the-beaten-path attractions, and insider tips that you may not find on your own.
Destination Knowledge
Travel advisors have extensive knowledge about various destinations worldwide. They can provide you with insider tips, local insights, and hidden gems that may not be easily found in guidebooks or online resources. Our expertise and access to resources can help you discover unique experiences and attractions, and authentic cultural encounters.
Access to Exclusive Benefits and Upgrades
We often have access to special deals, promotions, and packages that are not readily available to the general public and have established relationships with travel suppliers, such as hotels, cruise lines, and tour operators. This allows us to secure competitive prices and additional perks like room upgrades, complimentary breakfasts, or spa credits. These benefits can enhance your travel experience and provide value for your money.
Peace of Mind
By using a travel advisor, you have a dedicated professional taking care of your travel arrangements. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your trip is being handled by an expert. They can provide guidance, answer your questions, and address any concerns you may have throughout the planning and booking process.
