Three Steps to Your Memorable Vacation

We discuss your ​travel vision.

Have you ever been overwhelmed by all of the information to sort through?

  • Timing isn’t ideal because it is the busiest time at work.
  • Kids have an uptick in their extracurricular activities.
  • You have 10 or more websites bookmarked to read when you have spare time.
  • Many emails, texts, and DMs are awaiting your review with tips and recommendations from friends and coworkers.
  • You have limited time to travel and cannot decide where to go because several destinations are calling your name!
  • You want to make this a memorable vacation to celebrate a milestone or make that wish list trip a reality. If not now, when?

We make it simple for you to make a decision. You will get the right information to make the right decision for the type of experience you want to have. Are you ready to simplify the research phase of your trip?

We give you back Time.

We give you back Time while we craft your perfect vacation.

  • Have you done your research but are still on the fence as you try to sort through the reviews?
  • The reviews on Trip Advisor seem to be 50-50, but you are unsure if it is right for you and your crew. Hmm?
  • Have you ever booked a trip that did not meet your expectations?
  • Does your Vacation Wish List feel like a dream that may not soon become reality?
  • Do you need to accommodate someone with the most discerning taste?
  • Have you considered celebrating something special to you that isn’t considered a traditional milestone and are unsure how to go about it?
  • Would you like to leverage our network, with access to insights and contacts, to make any element of your vacation extraordinary?

Conversational Traveler has a vast network and deep relationships that enable us to customize any element of your dream vacation experience that suits your travel style.  Are you ready to take control and customize any aspect of your vacation?

You enjoy your tailored vacation!

Sometimes, things do not go according to plan. When unexpected trip interruptions occur, Conversational Traveler addresses the hiccups along the way.

  • Have you booked a trip online and had problems with your reservations upon arrival? They have no record of your reservation, and anybody who can help you does not return until the next business day. That's no good!
  • Have you spent precious vacation time rebooking flights? Yeah, the long hold times are frustrating.

Clients work with us because they have peace of mind because of the 24/7 support at all phases of their vacation, especially while in destination. Are you ready to have hiccups addressed while you continue to have fun?

My experience with Conversational Traveler was nothing short of amazing. My husband really wanted to take a river cruise. In fact it was on his bucket list. But we were sorely lacking in the knowledge needed to choose the line that was right for us. This is where Conversational Traveler came in. Michelle Green really took the time to find out what we wanted to get out of our vacation. Taking into account our interests and “must haves”, she helped us make the choice right for us. Then she walked us through the booking process from beginning to end. She was always available to answer questions and point us in the right direction. And when the time came to embark on our adventure, she made sure that we were equipped with everything we needed to reach out for help if needed. Unfortunately we did need assistance while onboard the riverboat. Even though Michelle was initially out of reach at a professional conference, her colleague Mel was quick to come to our aid. Then he and Michelle worked diligently to advocate on our behalf until a resolution was had. Mind you this took their attention even beyond our return home.Now that’s SERVICE. We are so glad we put our faith in the team at Conversational Traveler and you will be too. The next time you’re considering traveling agencies, look no further than Conversational Traveler. You can thank me later.

I had a milestone birthday coming up, and my family (husband and 2 college-age children) were eager for international travel. We've been self-sufficient with our travel plans for a long time. Because this one really mattered to me, I decided to work with Michelle. It was a wise decision. She helped me identify what my criteria were, researched and gave me itineraries for 3 different locations. A challenge is the 4 of us like different things! I decided on Costa Rica, and then Michelle pulled it altogether. She came up with a good itinerary, heard our feedback and graciously made the changes we wanted. I suspect we were challenging clients, but she never made us feel that way. Our vacation was seamlessly organized with our desired wonderful itinerary, she was there in the few instances we needed her and we had a wonderful time. In the end, she saved us time and money -- yet respected our autonomy. Thank you, Michelle.

Conversational Traveler turned our ideas into reality. Michelle was so helpful in guiding my wife and I while planning a recent trip to Brussels. She was very knowledgeable, detailed, and organized throughout our planning process. She removed the guesswork while providing options and helped personalize an enjoyable itinerary within a very short timeframe. Michelle arranged our flights, private car service, hotel, and suggested several activities to make our time in Belgium memorable. We were extremely delighted with our experience. Conversational Traveler was nothing short of stellar. We’ve already contacted Michelle to make future travel plans.
