Luxury Travel Agent

The Traveling Compass is a full-service luxury travel agency. Our success is built on a foundation of unmatched expertise and outstanding customer service. Our travel agents specialize in international travel, corporate incentive trips, destination weddings & honeymoons, multigenerational travel, luxury leisure, and family travel.

Planning a trip can be fun. But it can be overwhelming too. You can easily find yourself spending countless hours researching and reading a variety of guidebooks, online reviews, and websites and still be unsure about what to plan for your group or if certain resorts are any good.

Discover the benefits of a luxury leisure travel agent. Let us reduce complexity, ensure smart choices, provide privileged access and one-of-a-kind experiences while you get lost in the moment and gain genuinely unforgettable memories.

Whether we’re arranging your next trip to New Zealand, or planning a group trip to the Caribbean, we save you something eminently valuable: Time. Time to guide your company, to enjoy your family, or any number of the important things in your life.

What We Do

Your trip should be carefully built with hand-selected experiences to exactly fit you. We use our expertise and the very best vendors in the industry to design your dreams. Search engines don’t do that. Experts do that.

Life is too short to take the wrong vacation. Over 50% of people pick the wrong vacation for them. Why waste your trip? Why take someone ELSE’s trip? Your memories are too precious to leave to do-it-yourself travel disappointment. Take a trip that’s designed for you by an expert travel agent.

Mandy has been helping my aunt and I plan our annual trip for a couple years now and each time has been amazing! She’s so helpful and knowledgeable about every location we consider. Don’t know what i’d do without her!

We used Mandy at Traveling Compass to plan and book our Disney World vacation. She was able to help us in so many ways with both planning and scheduling our trip to ensure we got the most out of it. She helped with booking dining reservations, special accommodations and anything else we requested. She was very easy to work with and always got back to us quickly when we sent a question or request. She was full of helpful tips and tricks that we utilized while in the parks. She was a treasure to work with. I highly recommend Mandy!

We use the Traveling Compass for all of our organization's international travel planning. They handle complex itineraries with ease and are always very prompt at answering questions and helping when there is a need. Using the Traveling Compass takes a big chunk of work off of our plates so we can focus on the trip itself and not the planning.

Absolutely flawless experience. All taken care of for you promptly and perfectly. I barely lifted a finger to provide what was needed. Tell her where you want to go, she finds you the best place to match the criteria, and you're on your way. You won't be disappointed!

Why Use a Travel Agent?

Our travel agents have extensive travel experience. Their best (and worst) personal trips have created expertise that is imbedded in every aspect of our trip designs so you benefit. We routinely travel to visit the properties and destinations we recommend. We are constantly in classes to be up-to-date on the latest changes and innovations in travel.  

We listen and get to know you. We remember that your kid only eats chicken nuggets or your spouse likes pools with shade. We work one-on-one with you on and match each trip’s needs to a designer’s expertise. You talk with a person, not a call center. As we work with you over a lifetime, we help translate the things you love to new and exciting destinations and stages of life.

Some travel companies and search websites only offer a narrow variety of hotels and tours. You don’t get the full picture of what’s available or choices that might fit you best. We don’t do that. As independent travel agents, we work with the best vendors across hundreds of companies to bring you the best possible trip.

A travel agent can do so much more for you than just booking plane tickets and making hotel reservations. Check out these often overlooked benefits of having a travel agent in your corner.

🧳We organize all their documents- We create custom travel documents for our clients with all their need-to-know contacts, confirmations, tips, & trips in one spot with a custom web address and app on their phone. No one has to ask “where was that email?!?”

🧳We answer their questions- trips are often booked with a variety of vendors on a variety of websites. Given that we help hundreds of people a year get all over the Globe, we’ve seen a thing or two and are a real, live person that can answer your questions instead of an automaton.

🧳We build problems out of a trip- the way you design and build a trip can eliminate problems during travel. Our expertise is built-in to our itineraries to avoid travel issues.

🧳We help them narrow their choices- there are so many options for everything from flights to accommodations to which insurance. It’s overwhelming.

Traveling with grandparents? Babies? Teens? Grumpy Uncle Bob?
 
There is no faster way to misery than a family trip gone wrong. As a busy parent, I get how precious your vacation is. And how much you want those great memories without a side of complaints, frustration, and family feud.
 
So what are some ways we make it work from babies to Boomers?
 
🕶️Diversify The Fun
We make sure there are age-appropriate things for everyone to do that they can do together AND separately. Think lazy river AND teen lounge with X-box. Great snorkeling trip and a zero entry pool that works for littles. A piano bar AND a magician theater show.
 
🕶️Check The Room Situation
Different family members need different room set ups and not all resorts have a variety: swim up rooms for napping babies and sun-worshipping Mamas, adult-only section for Grandpa away from the noise, and Spa-perks for the bougie Auntie.  
 
🕶️#Realistic Food Options
Vacation is a great time to try new things- but no one wants to deal with a hangry toddler who will only eat a chicken nugget. Food options need to be plentiful, easy to access, and have a blend of both the familiar and new favorites waiting to be discovered.
Traveling with a group can make the best memories. We help you balance everyone’s needs to come up with an option that makes for great time together and enough space to breathe.
