Life moves fast. Between work, responsibilities, and everything in between, taking a real trip together takes effort. When you do, it should feel worth it.
Picture waking up in a charming hotel in Florence, spending an afternoon on a vineyard outside Bordeaux, or ending the day with a slow dinner in a neighborhood you actually love. Europe is full of incredible options. The difference is choosing the ones that fit you.
This is not a generic itinerary. It is your trip, built around your wishlist, your pace, and the moments you will still be talking about months later.
Let’s be real, planning Europe can be a lot.
Too many hotel options, too many opinions, and too many moving parts. The details are what make the trip feel smooth or stressful.
That’s where I come in.
I get clear on what you want, then I build the route and handle the pieces that make or break the experience.
✔ Hotels in the right locations, not just the right stars
✔ A route that makes sense, with smart pacing between cities
✔ Trains, transfers, and logistics handled so you are not guessing
✔ Tours and experiences that fit your style and your time
✔ Reservations and special touches like dining, spa, and celebrations
From the first conversation to the day you get home, you will have a plan you can trust and someone paying attention to the details.
*subject to availability
A trip built around your wishlist
No generic itineraries. I plan around what you actually care about, then shape the route and pacing so it fits your style.
I think about the details you do not
Where to stay, how long to stay, how to get from place to place, and what needs a reservation. This is the stuff that makes Europe feel easy.
You will not second-guess everything
You get clear recommendations and a plan that flows, so you are not stuck wondering if you picked the wrong hotel or the wrong route.
Support before, during, and after travel
Questions come up. Plans change. If something goes sideways, you are not stuck dealing with it alone.
Peace of mind when real life happens
Delays, cancellations, last-minute changes. I handle it quickly and keep your trip moving.

Y'all! Jennifer is flipping phenomenal! There were crazy delays with my flights yesterday, and she guided me through the process of switching flights and reaching out to flight attendants. If it wasn't for her staying on the line with me throughout the day, I wouldn't have made it to Iceland on time. Thank you thank you thank you so much, Jennifer!!! And if you're wanting to make your dream European vacation come true, check her out at Sassenach Travel Agency LLC She works magic!
"Jennifer at Sassenach was amazing! From start to finish she went above and beyond! Jennifer was there every step of the way to ensure I made it home when cancellations and flight changes seemed to be never ending. I can’t say enough positive things about Sassenach’s travel team, and I highly recommend booking with her to ensure you have the best trip possible!"
My Signature Concierge & Design Fee starts at $147 and varies based on the trip's length, complexity, destination, number of travelers, and specific requests. This fee is non-refundable and is not applied towards the booking. It covers the personalized creation of your itinerary and dedicated concierge services. Accommodation and flight bookings require a deposit, with full payment due according to vendor policies and proximity to your departure date.
I charge a Signature Concierge & Design Fee to provide you with truly personalized and unbiased travel planning. This fee enables me to focus solely on your preferences and needs, ensuring that every part of your trip is crafted to deliver an exceptional and unique experience. It supports the in-depth research and meticulous planning necessary to create your custom journey, free from the influence of external commissions. This fee is fundamental to my promise of delivering a travel experience that is not only tailored to you but also rooted in trust and dedicated to achieving your complete satisfaction.
I recommend the following minimum investments for a premium or luxury vacation: European vacations start at $500 per person, per day, excluding flights, covering upscale accommodations, private transfers, and curated experiences. River cruises start at $1,000 per room, per day, with balcony staterooms, fine dining, and exclusive excursions. Mediterranean and Alaska cruises start at $600 per room, per day, including balcony or suite accommodations, gourmet meals, and immersive experiences. Luxury all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean start at $400 per person, per day, offering 5-star suites, exceptional dining, and exclusive amenities. All recommendations focus on premium and luxury options for a seamless, stress-free experience. I work only with trusted suppliers to ensure every detail of your trip is handled with care.
Booking with Sassenach Travel Agency may not always be cheaper than booking independently, but it offers greater value. My service goes beyond just saving money, focusing on providing a premium, personalized travel experience. You get exclusive benefits, expert guidance, and dedicated support, which are hard to match with generic travel booking websites. My goal is to create an unforgettable, meticulously tailored journey that offers more than just financial savings. The real advantage of my service is the comprehensive, high-quality experience that comes with my signature Concierge Care, ensuring every detail of your trip is perfect.
While you can't directly use your reward miles or points for services booked through Sassenach Travel Agency, you are welcome to use them for purchasing airfare independently. To ensure seamless travel plans, please share the details of the airfare you intend to purchase with me. This allows me to offer advice on connection times and integrate your flights smoothly into your overall itinerary. Although hotel loyalty points cannot be applied to bookings made through my agency, I am committed to helping you leverage your rewards where possible. I strive to enhance your travel experience by advising on how to best use your rewards, ensuring you receive the utmost value and enjoyment within the framework of loyalty program policies.
I highly recommend travel insurance for all our clients to ensure peace of mind throughout your journey. Travel insurance can cover unforeseen circumstances such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, or unexpected delays, protecting your investment and well-being. I work with reputable insurance providers that offer comprehensive coverage options tailored to your travel needs, allowing you to enjoy your adventure worry-free.
At Sassenach Travel Agency, I'm committed to providing personalized, luxury travel experiences tailored to your needs. While I excel at crafting personalized journeys throughout Europe, I do not provide services for destination weddings. If you're planning your dream honeymoon, I'd be delighted to assist in curating a luxurious and unforgettable journey tailored specifically to you and your partner.
Please note, my focus is on luxury, not budget travel. I do not compete with prices from online travel agencies, nor do I work with low-end hotels or cruises. WI do not book Airbnb or VRBO properties for clients because these privately held properties cannot be vetted to industry standards. However, I do book a range of apartment style accommodations and villa/home rentals through trusted partnerships. I aim to provide an unparalleled level of service, quality, and experience.
If you are looking for the best deal rather than a personalized, high-quality travel experience, my services may not be the best fit for you.
