Christopher Aves - Travel Guru
There is no substitute for first hand experience. Travel agents are not necessarily travel experts or scholars. A travel guru, like myself, has many years of experience and who does actually travel the world very frequently. I am not a travel agent, and do not sell travel products or make a commission on selling you package tours and cruises. What I can do is offer expert guidance and planning so that your vacation and/or business trip, for you or your group, is precisely what you want with no hidden surprises.

Why do you need a travel guru? Expertise and first hand knowledge is the single most important reason many people elect to use me as their travel expert. My clients need ideas about where to go or they wants suggestions about things to do in a particular destination. Before you hire any “travel professional” please make sure that they have the desired level of expertise and firsthand knowledge of the location(s) that will form your itinerary. I will work with you directly to figure out the sort of trip, you and/or your group have in mind. I will make personalized recommendations based on my experience and prior knowledge. Almost anyone can go online and make travel arrangements, but it can be hard to tell real value from marketing fluff without real experience.

Group Travel.
Should you have a social group, or business or scientific group, or even a family group, I am available to make a complete presentation of the travel plans we have decided on, realizing that you may have to ‘sell’ the other group members. I consider this part of the group planning process. I have also been known to accompany groups as a sort of "Tour Manager" to ensure that all goes smoothly. Please use the contact tab above to request additional information and a call back. I charge a consulting fee of $50 per hour per couple. Contact me for group rates. |
