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

Rita Carton helped me put a very special trip together. I have been wanting to go to Greece for many decades and Rita‘s savvy, warmth, support and knowledge were over the top in making it one of the best trips of my life. Her quick responses to time sensitive questions was exceptional and her own travel experience brought wisdom to our planning. I would unequivocally recommend her if you want a real partner in planning your travels.

I have had the pleasure of working with Rita Carton for years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Most recently, she helped me plan a trip to New York. She found me a good hotel within my budget, and the experience was exceptional. From the comfortable accommodations to the prime location, everything was perfect. Rita is not just a travel agent; she is a dedicated and attentive resource who goes above and beyond to ensure every trip is memorable. Her expertise and personalized service have made all my travels seamless and enjoyable. Whether it's a quick getaway, a complex international itinerary, or an add-on to a business trip, Rita handles everything with professionalism and care. If you are looking for a travel agent who truly cares about your travel experiences and delivers impeccable service, Rita Carton is the one to choose. She is an incredible support, and I can't imagine planning my trips without her.

Working with Rita to book our trip made the process infinitely easier and manageable. She was incredibly responsive to all our questions from the beginning to throughout the trips, and she put particular care into outlining a trip that allowed us to do all the touristy stops we wanted to do in Austin in additional to finding some hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own. Rita helped us snag a great spot with a lovely hotel balcony in Austin and even found me a local 10K race to participate in--not only was this race rated the top 10K in the U.S. this year, but it also stopped and started right outside our hotel. Outrageously convenient and ended up being one of the best races I've done to date. She also helped us secure a lovely rental home in Fredericksburg for the days following and did so way in advance so that we had the opportunity to see a total eclipse with our friends and family--all before the price hikes made it nearly impossible to find a place anywhere in the area. Our itinerary from Rita included flight info, lodgings, restaurants, activities, museums and so much more. She did an amazing job curating an unforgettable trip and has absolutely installed confidence in working with her on future trips. I'm already asking for her help for a trip later this year and have friends who can't wait to work with a travel agent who's so detailed oriented and efficient at what she does. Truly can't thank her enough for the outstanding work that made for an unforgettable trip!

Rita meticulously planned all aspects of our Solar Eclipse Trip - which was fantastic. I wouldn't even consider taking a trip without her involvement - great places to stay, interesting restaurants, and super engaging activities planned.
