Client Testimonials
Family Trip Success!
This is long overdue, but I wanted to write and tell you how blown away we were with this trip. WOW! It was so well curated, so thoughtfully laid out, and was by far the best vacation our family has ever had. I travel internationally for work a fair amount, and I confess that I have always assumed that I didn’t need a travel agent because I could do everything myself with a little planning. Boy was I wrong. The care and attention you gave to this trip was far beyond anything I could have done. It all felt so seamless and so lovely. My wife looked at me at one point and said “we’re never going back—we’re using Georgia for everything now.”

France journey from Nice to Lyon
Georgia and her team provide the best possible travel advisor experience. She helps with the itinerary logistics as well as providing helpful insights during travel planning. Georgia has personally traveled the globe extensively and can provide many unique insights based on her own experience. Our most recent trip from Nice, through Provence and the Côte du Rhone, ending in Lyon, was perfection!

The absolute best experience ever, all thanks to India and Georgia!
When I knew I wanted to solo travel internationally for the first time, I also knew that I wanted to get the incredible counsel from India and Georgia Schley-Ritchie. They were both absolutely fantastic at listening to all that I wanted, and delivering on every goal that I had. They planned my trips to Florence, Tuscany, Rome, and Sorrento with painstaking detail and made sure that I got to experience everything that I wanted, nothing less. They paired me with the most fabulous tour guides, private drivers, and HOTELS. And they were always so attentive and open to questions, requests, and changes. It could not have been a better first trip to Italy, as it was perfectly suited to me. I could not recommend India and Georgia enough! Wonderful agents, of course, but also wonderful people. Love them greatly!

Authentic flavors: vibrant Palermo, elegant Capri, and energetic Naples.
We had an excellent experience with TravelCounsel during our trip to Italy.
They helped us thoughtfully curate our food tours on the trip, were incredibly patient with all of my changes throughout the planning process, and ultimately created the perfect experience tailored to our needs and wants.
They arranged food tours for us in Palermo, Capri, and Naples, and each one felt incredibly authentic and thoughtfully curated. The guides were knowledgeable, personable, and shared a lot of local history and insight that made the experiences feel much more immersive than a typical tour. We find the food tours help the experience significantly as they tend to be historical and educational, as well as delicious and fun.
TravelCounsel also arranged our hotel in Naples, and the location was perfect — centrally located and very convenient for exploring the city. It fit our needs well, was comfortable, and safe. Everything throughout the trip felt well organized and seamless. We would absolutely recommend TravelCounsel to anyone looking for a more authentic and enjoyable travel experience in Italy.

European Family Vacation
Georgia planned the most amazing European trip for our family, encompassing three countries. We had a party of six, and she coordinated all tours, hotels, transfers, and train tickets. Everything went perfectly, and at every location, we had a driver waiting for us with our name on the sign. There was constant communication with advisors in Europe during our trip to let us know about time changes or cancellations. We will definitely use her again in the future.

Perfect Honeymoon
We had the most incredible experience planning our African safari honeymoon with Georgia. Every detail was handled so thoughtfully, which made the entire trip feel seamless and truly special.
Our itinerary was perfectly balanced, from beautiful time in Cape Town and Franschhoek to an unforgettable safari at Simbavati Hilltop Lodge. The safari was the highlight. The setting was stunning, the guides were amazing, and we were lucky to see the Big Five.
Everything felt effortless from start to finish, and we are so grateful for the care Georgia put into planning such a special trip. We cannot recommend her enough.

We felt well cared for from start to finish! The partner travel agency in Athens was great- they checked in with us and kept up with our guide, Chris, who was excellent. Adding Delphi and the Temple of Poseidon after the Acropolis was perfect.

Amazing Visit to Morocco
I would give Georgia 10 stars if that was an option. This is the second trip I have taken with her help. All phases of the journey, from the initial planning to the rollout of our excursion around Morocco, were incredibly smooth. Georgia is very responsive to any questions, and the communication is always detailed and helpful. The trip was planned with a wonderful balance of activities, with focus on historical, artistic, cultural, and culinary aspects of Morocco, all of which I really enjoyed as a first time visitor. I look forward to many other trips with Georgia!
