Three Ways to Work Together:

Every client relationship starts in the same place: a conversation. From there, we work at the level that fits your trip, your timeline, and how involved you want to be. Every tier includes VIP treatment. The mechanism varies by property, the outcome does not.

DEstinations

Family trip to Florence, Sorrento, and the Amalfi Coast

- Jess Hayes

"I plan a vacation the way I run a sales pipeline. Obsessively. And none of it would have come together the way it did without Christine. In sales we talk about the value of an expert, the person who has done the thing a hundred times and can tell you what is actually worth your money. Christine is that for travel."

"She even arranged an upgrade that brought tears to my eyes."

30th anniversary, Virgin Voyages Mediterranean cruise

- Candy Boayue

"Christine planned our 30th anniversary Mediterranean cruise on Virgin Voyages for 45 of our closest friends and family, and it was exceptional from start to finish. She coordinated everything, the cruise, flights, transfers, hotels in Athens and Barcelona, and private tours. She even arranged a private cocktail reception onboard on the evening of our anniversary."

"It was the most stress-free and most meaningful trip we have ever taken."

Last-minute birthday trip, Paris and Milan

- Chrissy Maycole 

"My boyfriend woke me on the eve of my birthday and said, pack, you and the girls are going to Paris and Milan today. He had not booked anything. My first response was to panic. Then I called Christine. She booked our flights, secured 5-star hotels in both Paris and Milan surrounded by the best shopping, and a Michelin-starred restaurant for an unforgettable birthday dinner. She made sure we made our flights and was on the phone the moment we landed in Paris. We could not have done it without you."

"She calmed my nerves, and in a matter of hours she had curated an experience I will carry for the rest of my life."

First trip abroad, milestone birthdays, Paris and Bordeaux

- Kenneth and Lynea Pitts 

"When we decided to celebrate our milestone birthdays in Europe, we entrusted Christine with planning it. She arranged private museum tours in Paris, exclusive vineyard visits in Bordeaux, and private drivers throughout. When weather cancelled a scheduled boat ride, she responded swiftly with a private chef experience instead."

"A truly memorable trip."

12-day luxury Turkey journey

- Jemah Freeman-Parker 

"The itinerary took us through Izmir, Cappadocia, Bodrum, and Istanbul, with sunrise hot air balloon rides, exclusive cave lodging, a sunset Bosphorus cruise, and private tours of Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Every aspect was elevated by Christine's commitment to luxury. If you are seeking world-class service and luxury at every step, this is the one to trust."

"Our 12-day luxury journey through Turkey was nothing short of extraordinary. "

25-day journey through Italy, France, and the Netherlands

- Alicia Williams

"She helped us curate a 25-day trip throughout Italy, France, and the Netherlands with ease, and our travel was equally seamless. Highly recommend."

"Christine is warm, intelligent, knowledgeable, organized, and passionate about travel."

10th anniversary, Marbella and Istanbul

- Adam and Amie Bakare 

"As someone who usually stresses over every detail of trip planning, handing over the reins for our anniversary getaway felt like a big deal. But trusting Christine to plan our trip to Marbella and Istanbul turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made. From luxe accommodations to a thoughtfully curated tour, every part of the trip felt elevated, without me having to obsess over every detail."

"The peace of mind, the beautiful details, and the ease were priceless."

50th birthday, Guyana

-  Lola Knights

"My recent trip to Guyana was nothing short of extraordinary. What began as a birthday adventure became a meaningful journey of discovery and connection to my family's history. What impressed me most is that Christine listened carefully to what I hoped to experience and partnered with trusted local experts who brought the vision to life flawlessly."

"She created far more than a vacation. She helped create an experience I will cherish for a lifetime."

Group trip to Turkey

-  Anthony and Shari Hales 

"My husband and I traveled to Turkey on a group trip organized by BonVoyage Christine, and the experience exceeded every expectation. We explored breathtaking ancient cities, stayed in beautiful hotels, and enjoyed incredible food throughout. I would absolutely travel with BonVoyage Christine again."

"Every detail felt thoughtfully planned, which let us fully enjoy the experience without stress."

Multigenerational family trip, Egypt

-  Rachel SL

"hristine planned an amazing 5-star multi-generational family trip over Christmas break, through Cairo, Luxor, and Sharm El Sheikh. I would highly recommend."

"She provided expert guidance and we made incredible memories."

Jordan

-  Maxine Licata

"From the airport pickup to three wonderful days, the hotels were lovely and in great locations. Thank you, Christine, for a wonderful trip."

"Every detail was perfectly planned by Christine."

Repeat client, 10-day Turkey trip

-  T Adams

"Her attention to detail and her ability to stretch your budget without diminishing the quality of the experience is something I have never seen before. I am currently wrapping a 10-day trip to Turkey, and it has been five-star treatment throughout."

"BonVoyage Christine has planned numerous trips for me, from birthday celebrations to just because. "

-  Lakecia Foster

"The industry is inundated with many who call themselves travel planners. However, few are truly called to do this work and do so with excellence. BonVoyage Christine is one of the few. No longer will I spend hours planning my own vacations."

"She does not just plan a trip, she plans unforgettable and magical experiences."

-  Janelle Williams

"Working with BonVoyage Christine was an absolute dream. She handled every detail from start to finish, making everything feel effortless on my end. Highly recommend."

"Christine is a true luxury travel advisor who brings firsthand knowledge from her own extensive travels, which adds so much value to the entire experience. "

Kind Words from Clients

You want to see the world. You may not have someone to go with, or the time to plan it, or the desire to leave any of it to chance.

That is exactly what these trips are for. I host a small number of curated group journeys each year, every itinerary expertly planned from experience, the finest hotels, the right experiences, nothing overlooked. 




You bring yourself. I handle the rest, and you travel in good company.
