Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: If you’re like most travelers, your most cherished possessions are not things, they’re memories. At Insider Luxury Travel, we believe that’s why you travel, and why every moment of your trip deserves the special kind of attention that’s available only from travel professionals with insider access and knowledge. With more than thirty years of experience in the world’s finest hotels, cruise lines, private jet tours, and exclusive small group travel, we recognize that your travel preferences and choices should be as individual as your fingerprint. There is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to something as personal as the way you experience the world. We also know it’s critically important to realize the highest possible value from every element of your trip – just because something is the most expensive doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best. And we know that your time is as valuable as your money. We promise never to waste either. Think of us as your travel coach. We’ll make sure you get the experience you want and deserve for the best possible value. We know you want to research your trip for yourself online – and we highly recommend you do so. We also know there are many aspects of your experience you can’t find, organize, or even imagine that aren’t available online. We are not your typical online travel agent. We are leading Luxury Travel Advisors, who specialize in customized travel arrangements for the discerning traveler. Ordinary travel agents make reservations, quote prices and sell pre-packaged trips, primarily relying on publicly posted reviews. Insider Luxury Travel offers a VIP Traveler Program that is much more personalized and thorough. This exclusive and upscale travel program was designed for those who prefer the highest degree of personal attention, quality time, in-depth research and unparalleled expertise. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Melanie Cole, a lifetime travel professional. I don’t mean to overdramatize, but, frankly, travel is my passion. I’ve spent more than 30 years working in executive management with some of the best travel companies in the industry. I’ve spent my career on the inside, so I know how to get the most out of every single experience. I understand the value of true authenticity and I realize that not every trip is right for every traveler. There are so many kinds of travel, unique suppliers, hidden gems, secret treasures – and it’s my joy now to help you find the perfect match for you amid the myriad of choices a simple internet search can turn up. I’ve been especially blessed to travel to some of the world’s most magical places and experience the people, cultures, food, and landscapes they offer. My list is too long to bore you with here, but I’m delighted to share my experiences and recommendations with you as we formulate your own perfect vacation. Just a few of the places I have recently travelled are, Spain, Morocco, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, New Zealand and Hawaii. My life is rich with the brilliant memories I’ve acquired along my way – and I’m looking forward to helping you add to yours. Travel is the only thing you can buy that truly enriches your life!

Melanie helped us plan and book our 25th wedding anniversary celebration vacation. We had never used a travel agent before and the experience was great. She answered our questions and found us a great destination. She was a great advocate for us during a tricky hurricane situation. We had a great vacation and felt like Melanie had our backs.
