Travel Agency Serving Illinois
We work on your big bucket-list trips to ensure your travel dreams become a reality. We typically recommend planning at lead 9 months in advance for the best availability, but we are happy to strategize on a trip that is even 18 months away. We have learned that the further out you plan, the better chances we will have of snagging that private dinner in a chef’s home or the exclusive vineyard experience in Bordeaux.
Regardless of what you’re looking for, we will take the time to get to know you and understand your budget or any constraints you may have for the trip. As a travel expert, we will balance these parameters and explain where we think your money is best spent. We will give you options throughout the trip, but also make sure to remember that there’s various personalities in each family. We want to make sure everyone walks away with something that filler there cup and a memory they will cherish for years to come!
Top Travel Destinations
While The Travel Byrds has travel experts that specialize in every corner of the world, here are a few of our favorites to plan!
Switzerland
Switzerland is a unique destination that packs a mighty punch in a small amount of land. People often use this destination as an add-on to an Italy trip or a Rhine river cruise, but we would argue that Switzerland very much deserves a week or more of your time. We’d recommend you take some time to indulge in some Swiss fondue or some fine Swiss chocolate. I have made many a meal out of the two and would encourage you to try the same! Near each of their most stunning mountain ranges, you’ll find an equally stunning lake. I find that no summer trip to Switzerland is complete without a day on the lake! If hiking and lakes aren’t your idea of a good time, remember this is a year-around destination with incredible skiing throughout the winter!
Caribbean
The uniqueness of each island in the Caribbean is often overlooked. Our Illinois travel experts can tell you which islands truly have that Instagrammable turquoise water, which ones have incredible waterfalls, and which ones are known for their culinary prowess. Many people just think of the islands for a good beach vacation, which we can tell you all of the ins and outs of those experiences, but will also take the time to educate you on excursions for each destination. Some islands are known for the diverse snorkeling or diving. Some are known for their challenging hiking and some have great coffee plantations to explore. We’ll take your normal ho-hum beach vacation and turn it into so much more! Let us craft a personalized itinerary that reveals the hidden gems each island has to offer.
Thailand
Morocco is one of those countries that you’ll never forget. Our clients love exploring the markets, trying the many different spices, and experiencing an authentic hammam bath. Depending on your timeline, we love creating experiences in Morocco that include a taste of their vibrant city life, but also take the time to get you into the extraordinary desert life. We have great partners who will safely take you out on camelback and set-up luxury tented camps so you can enjoy the infamous desert sunsets! Whether you’re wandering through the bustling souks of Marrakech or gazing at the star-filled sky in the Sahara, Morocco promises unforgettable moments. Let us tailor your journey to ensure you capture the essence and magic of this enchanting destination.
Explore South America's Distinctive Allure with The Travel Byrds
We know South America is a conglomerate of very distinctive cultures, but overall our travel experts find the people of South America to overly accommodating and friendly. It’s a place where the culture and people beg to be experienced by the traveler. Do not go here expecting to be a tourist because we simply won’t let that happen!
This continent has some incredible rich history and diverse landscapes begging to be discovered. From the Galapagos, to Machu Picchu, to Patagonia. Our travel experts are skilled at creating itineraries that will change you for life. The culture will seep deep into your soul and leave you wanting more. Even if outdoor adventure isn’t your jam, the bustling city life in Buenos Aires with a few days in the wine region of Mendoza would be a great substitution. There’s truly a vacation here for everyone!
