Cefalu - Norman Cathedral and La Rocca in the back

Europe - Escorted/Tours

As a travel agent I have had the opportunity to go to Sicily on a small escorted tour. This tour was one of the best I have ever been on. The amount of people on this was a max of 16 and we only had 12. We started in Palermo and ended in Taormina. What i liked is we stayed right in villages in houses amongst the natives. Experienced the markets outside and the little food markets they have. Our tour guide use to live in Sicily as a child before he came over to the US. So having him as a guide was fantastic because in knew everyone. We went to restaurants that were family owned, learned how to pick olives from the tree and then took them down to the manufacturing plant and learned how to make olive oil. Did a lot of walking tours of the villages and experienced there culture.
Have also done Italy by hiring our own car and had them take us out to the suburbs and to all the points of interest. 
Have also been to Ireland two times at different parts of that country. Did small escorted and Group tours, also did some on our own.
Greek Islands are gorgeous! So much to see and do. A lot of my tours were private and small tours. Athens has so much to see. Greece in all has so much history there.
As a travel agent I have booked 2 small groups to Italy which they did some private tours, train to get from one spot to another and time on there own.
Ireland was the same with a small escorted tour. Which they loved because the tour operator was able to take them all over and spend more time because it was so small.
If Europe is somewhere you would like, let me plan a trip of a life time for you. We can customize to your interests.

If not for Lisa, my trip to Ireland would not be as memorable as it is to this day. The itinerary was 100% tailored to our wish list. Our tour included a wide range of marvelous experiences & accommodations at each stop along the way. No matter what type of business or vacation travel you have in mind, Lisa has the tools & experience to ensure the best possible trip.

Kathleen - Ireland ~ Europe

Last year Lisa organized a trip for our entire family, 36 of us, to take the cruise out of Boston to Bermuda. She was simply put...outstanding throughout the whole process. She made sure that our state rooms were all blocked together and got us several "extras" from the cruise line. She had t-shirts made for each member of our family which included young children and babies. Lisa kept us informed about the trip prior and also after the cruise to make sure we were pleased. I would recommend her with no hesitation at all.

Steve - Bermuda ~ Caribbean

Lisa was extremely helpful. She went the extra mile to help us discover Maine on our 2-week vacation. We stayed in 3 towns and had all kinds of things to do thanks to her. I would heartily recommend Lisa for any travel you may want to do.

RobW - Maine ~ USA

It has been a pleasure working with Lisa to plan our vacations. She has great suggestions, pays attention to detail, and is efficient with reservations. Her input was valuable to make the best of our trips and she makes herself available at all hours to assist us with issues when traveling. I feel reassured knowing that Lisa was involved with the planning of our vacation and that if there were last-minute changes, such as a flight cancellation (which has happened twice), she was there to help us return home. I am looking forward to working with Lisa in the future.

Tammie - Hawaii ~ USA

Lisa did it again! She never disappoints. The trips are always well planned and every detail is accounted for! This last trip to beaches Turks and Caicos was amazingly relaxing and even had a surprise birthday cake and decoration! Lisa is the best! This is the 5th trip planned by her and i cant Imagine planning any without her!

Javone - Turks and Caicos Islands ~ Caribbean

Lisa was absolutely amazing! Ahead of the trip she was able to book all of the excursions and resort that we asked for so there was no hassle when we got there. Our flights got canceled due to storms and Lisa was able to get us onto other flights and get us home with little to no stress on our part! She is an amazing travel agent and I’d recommend her to everyone.

Carolyn - Mexico

Lisa takes the stress out of traveling. International travel combined with weather can be stressful. We had weather to and from Mexico interfering with our flights. Lisa was on it! She found us new flights and helped with accommodations while we “got stuck” in our travels. Thank you Lisa!!! You are amazing!!!

Dan & Jamie - Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico

Lisa is amazing to work with! She makes sure every detail is noted and even delivers a goody bag before you take off! Lisa has planned many trips for my family and after trip, we become even more grateful of her. Lisa is the best! Highly recommend

Jay - Cabo San Lucas ~ Baja California Sur ~ Mexico

Lisa did a great job planning out trip!

Jennifer - Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean

Lisa of Whirlwind Travel is a wonderful asset if you’re planning a trip. Lisa planned and executed a Norwegian Cruise to Bermuda for me, and my family of 34–that’s right you read that correctly 34!! She anticipated our needs, and fully prepared us for what we should expect traveling with such a large group. Her tips, room choices, excursion bookings, restaurant recommendations and reservations were spot on. As you can imagine with a group as large as ours traveling outside of the Country we had many questions but she was knowledgeable and friendly while taking it all in stride and getting us answers and keeping us organized. She provided us with lots of goodies to make our travel more seem less as well as making our whole group wonderful t-shirts which made for a great family photo, as you can imagine! Lisa, and Whirlwind Travel are 100% someone I would recommend to anyone looking to book any vacation—large or small because she is so experienced and such a delight to work with.

Kelly K. - Bermuda ~ Caribbean

We have booked several vacations with Lisa over the past ten years. She has always been available, friendly, professional and well informed. Lisa always gave us great information and has always been open and honest with her opinions on prospective resort options. She has never tried to “sell” us anything and has always efficiently dealt with any travel issues that may have occurred. Lisa has always been a pleasure to work with and every trip we have planned with her has been excellent.
