Highlights About Maria

How long have you been a travel consultant? As of 2019, I have been a travel consultant for 34 years this year.

Where do you like to travel? I like to travel anywhere and everywhere. I like challenges, interesting holidays, hands on experiences and active vacations. I like vacations with rugged terrains, clear water and mountains. Also, I like destination with cooler weather. A good description would be countries like Switzerland for their hikes, England and Ireland for their cooler weather and walking itineraries, Northern Spain for their food, the Balearic Islands for their outdoor living, great food, hiking and classic life styles. I also enjoy visiting cities – Paris, London, Madrid, Rome, small boutique hotels, and a great bistro with ambiance and a good bar.

What is your most memorable vacation? Walking Hadrian’s Wall was a challenge and great experience, but I would have to say the Island of Palma de Mallorca – Deia it keeps calling me back over and over again!

Why should someone choose Premier Tours & Travel? Staff dedication, perseverance, years of personal experiences, certified agents -- and most importantly -- we care about our clients and their travel needs.

Highlights About Dieter

How long have you been a travel consultant? I have been a travel consultant for more than half of my life at this point. It's in my blood.

What is your most memorable vacation? I've had lots of great trips with lots of great memories. Going on safari in South Africa was a great trip; visiting Australia was a great trip; visiting the Christmas Markets in Munich and Salzberg was a great trip; and getting married in New York City was a great trip. The list just goes on and on!

Why should someone choose Premier Tours & Travel? In this age of booking vacations online, I think our clients like the fact that they can stop by our office and sit in front of an actual travel professional. We offer personalized service, which you won't get booking online. Because we build a relationship with our clients, many of them will stop by simply to chit chat -- and you definitely can't do that online.

Highlights About Kelly

How long have you been a travel consultant? I've been creating unique travel itineraries for family and friends since I got the travel bug as a teenager. It is only recently that I have been blessed to merge my personal passion with my profession.

What did you do before travel consulting? I spent the majority of my career in marketing and communications, creating, managing and protecting the brands of companies in an effort to grow their business. It was in the last four years that the proverbial door closed and a window flew wide open ... and I immediately leapt through it. I was invited to leverage my writing skills as a luxury travel writer for a private, coffee table magazine, International Opulence, and more recently as travel editor for Eloquence magazine. The travel assignments I have had and the feature stories I have written have enabled me to hone my travel curating and planning skills to help Premier offer a broader array of bespoke tours.

Why should someone chose Premier Tours & Travel? In the time I have been at Premier, I have observed the secret to their success: Incredible client service. No matter the request, no matter the challenge, no matter the issue, the travel consultants at Premier make it their top priority to plan it, overcome it, and/or address it to the client's liking. In my opinion, the reputation they have amongst their clients and the community is without compare. Their clients come back time and again, referring their friends and family along the way -- nothing is better than that to attest to the premier experiences being created by Premier Tours & Travel.
