Growing up I never thought I would leave the Emerald Isle on a permanent basis. It was really by accident.

With over three decades of experience within the travel industry, my career has allowed me to travel the world immersing myself in local cultures, providing me with lifelong experiences and memories to cherish forever. After starting my travel industry career in England I had the opportunity to spread my wings taking me to Spain, Southeast Asia, Australia and ultimately the United States.

After many years on the supplier side of the industry, I rejoined the agency side of the business in 2023. As I continue turning my passion for travel into a career, I am excited to take a leap of faith and open my own agency offering authentic and uniquely curated itineraries to each guest whether a group or individual, allowing complete customization for the traveler. My first-hand knowledge of the destinations is extremely helpful when travelers are looking for ideas.

My passion is a driving factor, and I look forward to helping each client plan their trip,whether it's a quick getaway, a milestone celebration or a trip of a lifetime for them. My reward is their satisfaction.

Ursula, I sincerely want to thank you for all the hard work you did with organizing our family trip to Italy in May-June 2025. Everything was wonderful. The hotels, the transporation, the food, the organization of free time and excursions was well thought out and perfectly fit our needs. I will be happy to highly recommend you to my friends who are looking for a custom trip. All your efforts and patience with our delays and confusion was very much appreciated.

Darlene D - Italy | Europe

Excellent attention to detail throughout, nothing was too much effort. A true professional who is passionate about her work and maintains the highest quality of service.

Barbara - Mediterranean ~ At Sea ~ At Sea

Ursula is always amazing to work with! She takes the time to make your travel the best it can be! Ursula was responsive to my questions and I always felt as if I was her only customer! Thanks for all you did to make our trip memorable!

Evelyn - Ireland ~ Europe

Ursula is the quintessential professional. She organized our "once in a lifetime" trip to the Emerald Isle - that we can't wait to repeat! The accommodations for first class, the cuisine exquisite, and the agenda/content amazing. The tour operator she aligned us with was so knowledgeable and informative. It was clear from the very beginning that we were in the very best of hands.

Staci - Ireland ~ Europe

Ursula was amazing, From start to finish, her attention to detail was perfect! Everything was organized from simple amenities to incredible excursions for our entire trip! We can not recommend her enough!

Gman - Rome ~ Italy ~ Europe

Ursula was nothing short of amazing to work with. Her expertise on the ins and outs of the travel industry was incredibly helpful as we planned our trip to Europe. She is personable, and professional, making her so easy to work with. It is evident that she genuinely cares about her clients and ensuring their travel experience is as positive as possible. I couldn't recommend her more!

Ciara - Europe

Ursula was a dream to work with. From the initial contact Ursula listened carefully to our interests and tailored the trip to ensure that we had a variety of experiences to suit the family gathering e.g. fine dining, suitable accommodation, visiting places of interest (the Stanley hotel, Estes park which inspired Stephen Kings, The shining) for my film loving companions, sight seeing and shopping. Both her attention to detail and availability were outstanding. She clearly is very familiar with this area of USA. Her communication was so friendly and enthusiastic so I would highly recommend her services.

clotildeok - Denver ~ Colorado ~ USA

Working with Ms Blackbourne was a delight. Ursula is a fount of knowledge of all thing s travel related. Due to our limited time in Houston, we wanted someone who would be prepared to go that extra mile to ensure we experienced all the city had to offer. She ensured a satisfying mix of sightseeing, shopping, music and dining experiences. I look forward to using the services of her agency on any future trips and will continue to recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

spiceloft - Houston ~ Texas ~ USA

Ursula helped plan a trip of a lifetime for 5 couples to Ireland that included a college football game in Dublin! She gave us many options to help create an itinerary that was perfect for our group. We had a few unexpected request during the trip and Ursula was on call to help every step of the way. If you are looking for personal service I highly recommend Ursula Blackburne.

Katie - Ireland ~ Europe

Ursula was extremely helpful with our arrangements & suggestions on where to visit. We travelled to Sorrento & visited Capri, Pompei & the Amalfi Coast. Ursula was a pleasure to deal with & we'll definately travel with her again.

Rita & Michael Lynch - Sorrento ~ Italy ~ Europe

Ursula was an absolute pleasure to work with. She offers a unique perspective on travel, since she has traveled so much! When we expressed interest in a European cruise, she knew exactly the perfect match for us and was able to share her own personal experience on the exact ship we would be on.

RT - Nice ~ France ~ Europe

Ursula’s knowledge was invaluable when I booked my trip to Scotland. Her professional and very friendly manner gave me complete confidence that my trip was going to be fantastic and it was. Her advice was excellent and her personal touch ensured my trip was a complete success. I would highly recommend Ursula Blackburne for all travel destinations.

Mary B. - Scotland ~ Europe

Ursula has amazing travel knowledge and is more than happy to share her experiences and travel secrets with you. I am looking forward to booking more trips with her.
