Golden Travel is a great name for your company because our stay was GOLDEN! We were blown away by the trip Debbie had planned. I had never used a travel agent before so I trusted Debbie to plan what was needed and she set the bar high. I would have never been able to plan this trip without Debbie! I thought she must have told our hotel that we were 3 American princesses because we were treated so well. Thank you so much for planning this amazing trip for us and navigating hotels, flights, transportation, reservations, communication, what to do/not to do, what to bring, and so much more! We will be sure to plan our European adventures with you again!!!

Debbie was so wonderful to work with! I think we booked our trip on Viking back in 2019, then with Covid it was rescheduled again and again! Debbie held our hands through the process and got us through the uncertain time!

I was born in Chicago and eventually moved to the western suburbs. We traveled quite extensively as a family and I was always looking forward to the next trip. So I was hooked at a very young age. I started in travel and worked for a leisure agency for 20 years. Totally by surprise and out of the blue I was contacted by a Corporate agency with over 35 million in sales to open, develop and run a new division of their agency geared toward vacation travel. It was an amazing job! My knowledge and expertise really took off with the vacation side for their agency.
I have an extensive following so with my "regulars" and now all of these endless new clients I was seeing burnout. After several years, I decided to open my own agency and create the business I wanted. Golden Travel Inc was born. Yes, the name is a tribute to my love of Golden Retriever's!
For 25 years I worked extensively with the 101st Airborne to organize a local "get together" in their area. Read more
