Travel style

I thrive on a travel style that embraces the unconventional and seeks out the extraordinary. My preference leans towards boutique hotels that offer not just accommodation but an immersive experience, coupled with impeccable service. Exploring local cuisines is a key highlight of my journeys, as I believe great food is a gateway to understanding a culture. Beyond mere sightseeing, I value experiences that allow me to connect with new cultures and people, as I believe that travel, in its essence, is a soul-nourishing adventure.

Love to find unique restaurants and local food.

Rita's reviews

She is so thorough and competent. All needs taken care of. Would definitely and highly recommend her. She’s helped us on multiple trips now. And they’ve been flawless. Thank you Rita!

Rita helped me book this great find on short notice. As always, she is the best (please see previous reviews for other trips she planned with me).

Rita Carton once again made our experience incredibly smooth and hassle free. She handled all the planning and setup excellent accommodations. She was able to get us early check in and had complimentary sweets and beverages brought up to the room along with a personal note. It was such a warm and pleasant touch. Communications before during and after were perfect. Our entire trip was improved. What excellent service. We really appreciate it.

I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible - but unexpected - experience I had with Rita. From the moment we started planning my pilgrimage to Greece, she was attentive to every detail—arranging the perfect blend of tours, guides, drivers, and top-notch hotel and restaurant reservations. Every element was meticulously planned to ensure a seamless experience. However, the real magic happened when, unfortunately, I injured my back just two days into what was supposed to be a two-and-a-half-week journey. In a matter of hours, Rita completely shifted gears and handled my situation with the utmost efficiency and care. Within no time at all, she arranged for a doctor to come to my hotel and secured a masseuse to help alleviate some of the pain. When I didn’t improve and needed to cancel my trip, she rebooked my flight home, and swiftly canceled all the remaining hotels, restaurants, and tours without any stress on my end. She even arranged for me to have a wheelchair at each of the three airports. What could have been a travel disaster turned into a manageable situation, entirely because of her quick thinking, resourcefulness, and proactive support. Her professionalism and ability to navigate this unexpected challenge made a world of difference, and I truly believe her dedication saved my trip from becoming a nightmare. If you want a travel advisor who is not only excellent at planning but also invaluable when it comes to dealing with the unexpected, look no further. Rita is simply the best!
