About
If travel planning were an olympic sport, I’d be going for gold. For 15+ years I obsessed over the details as a Marketing Director in Tech, and now I’m taking my passion for travel full-time.
Travel style
Once I have a destination in mind, I map out the top sites and activities, best hotels, and of course, restaurants. I choose hotels based on central location, value (price & perks) and unique experiences they offer. My ultimate city travel day: free breakfast at the hotel — then off to explore museums, cafes, and...the unexpected. Meet up with old friends for dinner or a show, and top it off with a nightcap in the lobby bar. Ultimate beach vacation? Watching the waves with a coconut drink in one hand and a mystery book in another.

Jon 's reviews
Booking with Jon Herlihy for my Napa Valley trip was the best decision I could have made! Jon was attentive, responded quickly, and was very knowledgeable about the property and area I was staying in. Jon booked my accommodations, which included a ton of extra great perks such as early check-in, resort credit, and daily breakfast at the restaurant which was outstanding. Jon made sure I had everything I needed in the weeks and days of my trip. He had a welcome gift waiting for me in my room upon arrival which was such a sweet surprise, it was a great bottle of wine and a crudités platter. Jon also helped me arrange my chauffeur service, and the company he recommended was top-notch. I can’t thank Jon enough for his expertise, professionalism, and dedication to making this a great experience for me. I will be booking with Jon again for my future trips.
