The Beyond Boutique Story
We specialize in becoming an expert in our clients.
To infinity and beyond!
Your vacation is our passion. And we understand that you are looking for memorable experiences, whether they be bucket list trips, exploring new destinations or a little adventure. Travel your way may mean sailing on smaller cruise ships that can visit boutique, smaller ports or customized small tours such as those delivered by Abercrombie & Kent or Tauck. Or simply putting your toes in the sand on a secluded beach with a drink in your hand.
Toni’s Story
I understand the frustration of researching a trip on your own and having to trust people you don’t even know. That’s why, after spending my career in corporate America, I made a decision to share my insane passion for travel and found Beyond Boutique. It sounds hokey, but I truly believe that everyone deserves magical adventures. Experiences that can’t be found on Google or Expedia. I’ve circled the globe with my family, taking trips to Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the Caribbean, Central and South America and I appreciate the value of shared memories.
For me, luxury is an immersive experience where you get to be in the trenches with the locals of the destination your visiting. It’s also traveling without stress! You need to know that if something goes wrong, there is someone to call to help make it right.
My relationships with clients are the most important factor to designing a successful trip. Understanding “why” clients want to travel gives me insights into the kinds of experiences they will find most compelling. Also important is the relationships I have with my expert travel partners around the world. I work collaboratively with my hotel, cruise, and tour partners to create unique moments and deliver seamless logistics for my clients’ itineraries. Let’s face it, it’s incredible to have boots on the ground in every corner of the world!
Some of my favorite personal travels include:
- Romantic vacations with my husband, Dave, including recent trips to France and Portugal. While in France, we had the best day touring vineyards in Bordeaux on a bicycle. I still search out wines from the Saint-Émilion region to remind me of that day. If only I could find duck confit as good as what was served!
- Visiting Italy, Spain, Israel, and Japan with my three twenty-something kids. Ok, there were a few fights, but what is a family trip without them? Check out my blogs about them. (make clickable to direct to the specific bogs)
- Last December’s Amawaterways river cruise down the Danube to visit Christmas markets with my son, Maxx. (Click to blog)
- Seeking the perfect balance between luxurious pampering and expedition-style adventure on a luxury cruise to Alaska with my sister and mom. (Make clickable to Alaska blog). Other vacations we’ve taken together include a spa retreat, Scotland and Ireland. A luxury cruise to Italy, Croatia and Greece is next for us!
