Mary Lou Yeager

With nearly half a century of experience in the travel industry, I’ve mastered the art of understanding and connecting with clients like you. For me, travel planning goes beyond a profession—it's a creative and fulfilling process. You're the main character in your travel story, and my mission is to bring that story to life. Whether you prefer independent travel or escorted group tours, I can help tailor the perfect experience for you.

Having lived in both Spain and the Philippines, I offer a broad, global perspective that enhances my approach to crafting travel plans. I specialize in designing personalized travel experiences for individuals and groups alike, whether your journey involves land or sea. As a certified Master Cruise Counsellor and Virtuoso Voyages Host, I’m deeply familiar with the top cruise lines and their offerings. From ocean voyages to river and expedition cruises, I can guide you in selecting the perfect itinerary.

One of my proudest achievements is earning the SCOTSMASTER certification in 1996, a recognition awarded by the Scottish Tourist Board in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh after two years of study. This certification has equipped me with exceptional insight into Scotland—a destination I am incredibly passionate about. I regularly attend the VisitScotland Expo to cultivate relationships with suppliers and assess hotels and venues, ensuring I offer you the most accurate and personalized recommendations. My intimate knowledge of Scotland allows me to provide precise directions and customized travel plans. I’m also thrilled to be listed among Condé Nast Traveler's Top Travel Specialists for 2025.

Beyond Scotland, my expertise extends to Ireland, Britain, France, and much of Western Europe. Do you dream of visiting enchanting Christmas Markets? Imagine strolling through charming villages, breathtaking châteaux, and grand cathedrals, perhaps while enjoying a serene cruise on a picturesque European river. I hold a deep love for these markets and have hosted groups annually to share their captivating magic.

As an Aussie Specialist since the 1990s, I’ve visited Australia more than ten times. This extensive experience enables me to create uniquely tailored vacations for you. And let's not forget destinations like New Zealand, Fiji, and Polynesia—they’re just as spectacular.

I can’t wait to hear from you and begin turning your travel dreams into reality. Let’s craft the journey you’ve always envisioned!
