Travel style
With over 20 years exploring the world as a flight attendant, I've learned a thing or two about travel. You have to be flexible, open minded and most of all, be able to roll with the punches. I've seen it all! I blend my passion for the arts, local cuisine and beautiful architecture into personalized international journeys. Let me curate an unforgettable travel experience with you - where every detail resonates with the vibrant essence of each destination.

Mary's reviews
Never having been to Scandinavia and trying to plan the trip last minute, I turned to Mary for guidance and she saved the day. Norway was the most challenging leg of our trip as it is a vast country with many options and possible itineraries. Mary was able to narrow down our wants and needs and came up with the perfect itinerary. We hiked and kayaked on the fjords and Mary found us the most charming and elegant inns to stay in along the way. She found equally suitable accommodations for us in Copenhagen and Stockholm and made the entire process stress free. I won't hesitate to use Mary's services again for our future travels.

We just returned from a beautiful vacation in London and Ireland all planned by Mary O'Brien of McManus Travel. Thanks to her, I was able relax not only while away but all the days leading up to the trip knowing that everything had been taking care of. I was able to solely focus on my family and making new memories! We decided to alter our itinerary a bit and all I had to do was text her and she made it happen. She was available day or night, had wonderful suggestions and really helped us extend our vacation with the money she was able to save us on rooms. Not enough words to express how grateful I am. Thanks Mary... until next time!
