Escape to the Big Apple

I have traveled to New York City MANY times, yet I still seem to find a new place to explore and a new restaurant to dine at every time I go. Needless to say ... you will never run out of things to do!


Here are just a few things that I have personally experienced in New York:



  • 911 tours

  • Statue of Liberty

  • Ellis Island

  • Coney Island

  • Shopping and massages in Chinatown district

  • Brooklyn Food tours

  • American Museum of Natural History

  • MANY Broadway shows

  • Shopping at the AMAZING outdoor Christmas markets — I HIGHLY recommend

  • Top of Rock at Rockefeller Center

  • Walked High Line park

  • Bike riding in Central Park

  • I’ve seen the Rockette’s Christmas show many times.


Not only have a traveled to New York, but I have planned many trips to New York for my clients. Some of these trips include attending the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, Broadway Shows and New Year's Eve spectacular packages! The cuisine is fabulous and I have personally been to a number of iconic places that I can make reservations for you.


Ready to head to the BIG APPLE? Let's start planning your adventure!

Magnificent 50th Anniversary family trip
Gwynne was very accommodating in planning a rather complex family trip for 14 people, 5 of whom live overseas. All of Gwynne's arrangements went off without a hitch.
We are totally satisfied and highly recommend Gwynne's services. We'll use her again.

The Trip of a Lifetime!!
Gwynne was recommended to me by a friend when they learned we planned on visiting Italy. We had many details such as meeting my daughter who was already in Italy, and having my son leave earlier than the rest of us, and also having a large number of people making different payments and also needing various different requirements while traveling...a bit overwhelming for me to plan since I had never been to Europe before!! Gwynne was invaluable to the process of planning our trip!! She provided everything we needed even before I knew it was needed...She recommended beautiful hotels and priceless experiences. We visited Florence, Rome and Paris, and Gwynne provided us with private tours with lovely, knowledgeable tour guides. She arranged a cooking class and food tastings, gave us lists of restaurants in different price ranges with all of their contact information. Everywhere we went we had transfers to and from our hotels, airports, train stations and tours! Best experience ever!

The easiest planned vacation ever!
Gwynne was amazing. From day one she answered every question I had. She was able to get me a deal that I couldn't come close to getting with any online site. She is truly wonderful at her job. When I was concerned about a flight due to a hurricane coming in, she promptly changed my flight and sent me the updated itinerary. Thank you again Gwynne.

Our Travel Agent for many years
Gwynne has been our travel agent for many years. She is a delight to work with, is attentive, thorough, and proactive. Our most recent trip was to France. She arranged air, hotel, train tickets including detailed guidance on verifying tickets prior to boarding, and a map. She has always made whatever travel arrangements we needed even if she was under a deadline for other responsibilities. If she is away, she provides a backup plan "just in case." All details are efficiently handled well in advance of the start of any trip. Several times over the years, when some misadventure befell our flight plans, she rescued us by re-booking for us so we could journey on. It's just so nice to know, whatever travel arrangements I might need, Gwynne will handle it.

Fantastic Family Trip to Switzerland
Having known Gwynne for many years, when our entire family of 15 wanted to plan a trip to Switzerland she was the only call we made. She offered great advice from the very beginning as we were planning our itinerary, selecting cities and fine tuning the details. She was quick to reply to any questions or concerns we had through the entire process. You could feel she wanted to make sure we had the best travel experience possible - and we did. Thank you Gwynne!
