Valerie Murphy

How does a love of history, architecture and travel lead to a fulfilling career as a travel advisor? Easy! I’ve been helping clients plan memorable vacations for over 20 years and sharing my own travel experiences. It’s so wonderful to experience a new part of the world and say “You have to see this!”

I’ve travelled extensively throughout the Caribbean and Europe (including river cruises with Scenic and Uniworld). Most recently? The Rocky Mountaineer train through Canada’s Rocky Mountains, a travel professionals’ insider tour of the new Celebrity Edge ship in Miami and a luxury trip to Florence, Italy staying at several spectacular Virtuoso properties.

Luxury travel, with a focus on fine food and wine, is my specialty. Always great fun to help a client with a trip on the Orient Express or a stay in a world-famous hotel! Recently a client asked me to create a 5-star trip to include Dubai, the Maldives, the Seychelles, Spain and Ireland. It was a pleasure to plan from start to finish…and yes, they had a wonderful time.

I’m a firm believer in on-going education and have the following accreditations: Sandals Certified Specialist, Avalon Waterways Specialist, Regent Cruises Luxury Travel Expert, Uniworld River Cruise Specialist, AM Resorts Master Agent, Globus Tour Expert Program.

It’s a point of pride with me that most of my clients are referrals from past, happy clients. And of course I always welcome the chance to show new clients how we can work together to plan lasting memories.
