was promised a quote never received it. They are extremely limited on what they are able to do and where they can send you. What a waste of my time.

We have worked with Michelle on our last 2 vacations and she has gone above and beyond to make sure we have the best trip. It is a huge plus that our travel agent has a lot of insight on what to expect and quality of location. When our vacation ends, my family feels like the trip was worth every penny. I highly recommend Vacations in Paradise to any person or family looking for a great getaway. The knowledge and work the travel agent does, take a whole bunch of stress and uncertainty away.

Viviane will make your vacation dreams come to life! She made the process so smooth and was there to support us every step of the way. I will be recommending her to all of my friends and family and look forward to booking my next vacation with her. Really, thank you for everything Viviane! This was my first time booking an all inclusive resort and I had no idea what I was doing but she made it all so easy and gave us comfort in knowing we didn't have to worry about anything.

Michelle and Cindy were excellent in helping me and my family accompany my niece to her destination wedding in Cancun Mexico. They were quick to respond to our questions and very informative. L Brown

My husband and I used Michelle Taylor to book and plan our honeymoon! She was so kind and helpful every step of the way. We will definitely be using her again for our next adventure!

Wanted to give a big THANK YOU to Michelle Taylor for helping me book a surprise Anniversary trip for my wife. The trip was awesome and Michelle did an amazing job with her recommendations on & off the resort. She also recommended a great sunset cruise that we took advantage of. No doubt that we will be using Michelle for future trips just like this one!

Viviane was absolutely amazing in assisting us with our trip to DisneyWorld. She was very knowledgeable and gave us excellent advice on how to navigate. We will be using her and this agency in the future. Thank you!

My wife and I booked our honeymoon with Michelle Bouzek and I can't even begin to explain how amazing she was during this process. With the pandemic and having to push dates back for over a year Michelle did a FANTASTIC job keeping in touch with us. She made what would typically be a frustrating process for us, smooth and seamless. She always looked out for us and gave excellent recommendations for a destination change. If you want to book a trip with someone you can trust fully and have ZERO headaches no matter what happens, Michelle Bouzek is who you need to speak with. Amazing experience.

Rachel was WONDERFUL to work with. My husband & I changed our honeymoon plans last-minute and we were scrambling to find a new destination. I hadn't ever used a travel agent before, so I quickly jumped online to find a reliable one. Rachel was so attentive, detail-oriented, and extremely helpful. We chose Costa Rica and were able to still use the plane tickets we originally bought (just changed the location!). I had 1,000 questions since it was my first time booking through an agent, and she never once made me feel like an inconvenience or ignorant. She responded promptly to my emails, and even responded on the weekend! I can't say enough great things about her. We look forward to booking future vacations through VIP and definitely will be asking for Rachel again :)

My family and I used Vacations In Paradise to book our most recent trip to Cancun. This was the first time that we've ever used a travel agency and I must say, it was pretty seamless. With Michelle Taylor's help, we were able to book the exact resort we wanted for a very reasonable price (compared to what it was actually listed online). Michelle was responsive and helpful with travel questions as they came up. We'll definitely consider asking her help again for future vacations!

Haleakala on maui, how to choose the hawaiian island for you, ever heard of a ‘green flash’, a royal wedding at iolani palace, take a leap – south point big island, spouting horn on kauai, was captain cook the first western visitor to hawaii, hawaii’s state flower: the yellow hibiscus, the haraguchi rice mill tour: kauai’s best-kept secret, 5 things hawaii doesn’t have (that you didn’t expect), ever heard of a green sand beach, satisfied clients:, meg did an absolutely fabulous job ensuring that our trip to hawaii was awesome. anyone can book air, hotel, and car. however, the insight of how to make the most in the short time in hawaii wasn't something i could have done on my own. meg shared with us her go-to trips on the big island. she also shared an app to listen to while traveling. she knew how much time to spend on each side of the island.thank you, meg.

Allan and Pati, Albany, NY

We couldn't have had such an amazing holiday without your hard work, thank you. We really appreciate the thoughtful touches arranged by you for our stays. Your effort freed us up to have a magical time in Paradise. We are very grateful. Mahalo nui loa!

James & Caroline, Birmingham, UK

We used Travel To Paradise for our trip to Hawaii. Meg was incredible! She stayed in contact with me and really helped me navigate changing our dates/flights/plans during Covid. It was a stressful time with the uncertainty of travel but Meg kept us up to date and helped every step of the way, she really put us at ease. Every excursion and activity she helped plan for us was personalized to our family and exceeded our expectations. Absolutely couldn't have done it without her help and guidance. If you are planning a trip to Hawaii, call Meg at Travel To Paradise!

Lewis Center, OH

Meg is such a sweet, personable, helpful person! She helped to take a lot of stress off my shoulders when we booked our very first Hawaiian vacation. She gave me multiple options to choose from and was very accommodating. She contacted the rental car company for us when I had a question about it. I plan on making another trip to Hawaii in the near future and will definitely be contacting Meg. So nice to have someone who lives IN Hawaii, help plan the perfect trip of a lifetime! You cannot go wrong with Meg!

Kim & Jared

Valley Springs, SD

Aloha fellow travelers,

I wanted to personally let you know about the amazing and outstanding travel planning services of Meg Nichols, from Travel to Paradise. I know a lot of people try to book their travel themselves these days...but think again...using Meg to help us personally plan and book our Hawaiian Family Adventure was the best decision we made. When I first contacted her, Meg was super fast in her reply. She listened to what my family's unique needs and wants were for our Hawaiian vacation. She put together a SPOT ON itinerary at an amazing price.

We can't wait to get back to Hawaii! What an absolutely AMAZING adventure. Thank you Meg.

Meg also recommended a separate person to book all our activities (Zipline, ATV, Snorkel, Luau etc) . She was wonderful too.

Booking with Meg, at Travel to Paradise, literally helped my family enjoy paradise without a single worry or concern. Every hotel was prepared for us. Every flight, island transfer, rental car and hotel check- in was about as easy as it gets. My husband and I have traveled all over the world, from French Polynesia to Africa and back...and Meg's personal touch, with ****EXTRA Birthday SURPRISES for me, just added a cherry on top of our amazing Hawaiian Family Adventure.

Let Meg help you plan and book your trip. You will not regret it. She is on top of everything, knows details only locals know, checks in with you repeatedly, and can get you great deals.

With Sincere Aloha, The Sokol Rogers Family John's Creek, Georgia

Mesa, AZ ✈️ Maui - 2023

I highly recommend Travel to Paradise! Working with Paula was a great experience! She’s knowledgeable, patient, honest and has the sweetest personality. I celebrated my birthday in Maui and she was a tremendous help with helping me organize, plan and book everything. She’s super easy to work with, and gives the best recommendations and travel advice. Contact her for your next trip to Hawaii, you’ll be so glad you did!!

Rochelle, Mesa, AZ

I've delayed writing you this email because it means our trip is officially over. I'm not even sure how to express our gratitude for your guidance (and patience) with us while booking this trip.

Our trip was a dream - waking up to the sounds of waves (and roosters), enjoying coconut shrimp and endless pina coladas in our cabana, and exploring parts of the world we've never seen. Something I didn't share with you before - I was really close to my grandmother growing up, and she passed away 14 years ago. Hawaii was her favorite place on earth, and Kauai her favorite island. Being able to experience what she experienced held a sentimental value I cannot adequately express. We went all week without seeing a rainbow. On our last day as we were packing up on the beach, we turned around to see a vibrant, full rainbow. I swear it was my grandma saying "you see what I mean about this place?" 🙂

We cannot thank you enough for making this happen. We hope to work with you again in the (near) future. Thank you!!

We have had a wonderful anniversary trip! We are so glad we met you and can’t thank you enough for all of your help with our travels. You went above and beyond! We realized how much we have missed Hawaii and are already trying to figure out when we can come back. We will definitely ask you to help us with the details!!  Mahalo, Vanessa and Duane.

Kelly and I just wanted to say thank you so much for assisting in setting up our honeymoon vacation to Hawaii.  We were super pleased with our accommodations and tours.  Even with the initial hic-cup of our flight getting cancelled (airline mechanical issue, not your fault) and not being able to see Pearl Harbor because of our late arrival due to the airline, you and your team really went the extra mile to ensure that we had a wonderful trip.  It's hard to find even good customer service these days, but you ladies  were Great!  Your pleasant assistance and professionalism were greatly appreciated!  Please let us know if we can assist as a reference in the future and we will be sure to recommend you to anyone we hear of going that way.  Thanks again for everything!  L & K.

Hawaii is the most welcoming place I have ever traveled to.  The extra aloha spirit is something you can’t help but instantly feel when you visit the islands, and it deepens the peace and love in the hearts of all who travel there. I want to give a special thanks to Paula at Travel to Paradise and her associate Karen who helped with the activities.  Without their help, we would never have been able to piece the trip together so well.  I would recommend them to anyone who was planning a trip to Hawaii.  They will spend hours of time on the phone with you, planning the perfect vacation.  They see to every detail and are not satisfied until they know you are.  Brian and Dana

When you’re expecting, everyone tells you to take a trip with your spouse while it’s still “just the two of you.” My husband and I wanted to do a Babymoon, and between both of our demanding work schedules, and preparing for the arrival of a new family member, we didn’t have the time we needed to plan our “Babymoon.” I enlisted Meg’s help at Travel to Paradise because of all the travel agents I spoke with, Meg asked me the most questions and really gathered insights on what my husband and I were looking for in this trip. She was organized, thorough, and painted me such a great picture of what our Babymoon could really look and feel like in a way that felt designed just for us and we liked to do. Usually I do hours of research to plan my ideal vacation; but since I didn’t have the time, I could tell that Meg would approach it the same way that I would have, and I trusted her local insights.

Meg referred us to a network of people who provided dinner recommendations and excursions for the two islands we planned to visit (The Big Island and Kauai). By the way, the helicopter tour over Kauai was the absolute trip highlight! And we enjoyed our Snorkel Cruise in Kealakeua Bay. Meg’s connection who helped us select pregnancy-friendly excursions was so important to our experience and saved me hours of research.

Meg also was very responsive to questions, such as the best route to take to get from one side of the Big Island to the next, and because of her recommendations, we knew exactly which stops we should take along the way. We approached our Babymoon with confidence, and that made all the difference. My husband and I couldn’t believe that we were setting on a twelve-day vacation without doing our usual research, but it turned out great: from stopping at the Black Sand Beach on the Big Island to see turtles sunning themselves, to visiting the arts town of Hanapepe in Kauai, our Babymoon is a treasure that we will always remember.  Michelle and Chad

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you.

20 Years Helping You Live Richer

Reviewed by Experts

Trusted by Millions of Readers

After putting in decades of hard work, you want to be able to enjoy yourself in retirement . For some people who can afford it, that means splurging on a nice vacation. 

However, you don’t want to spend your money recklessly. If you’re going to go on expensive trips, you want to find ones that can provide a sense of wonder, excitement or relaxation that you might not find elsewhere.

With that in mind, consider the following four types of vacations that are worth the extra costs in retirement , according to William Lee, a travel agent at Chima Travel .

Themed River Cruises in Europe

Your first thought of taking a cruise might be going on a giant ocean liner, but there are more intimate options available that retirees often enjoy splurging on, such as river cruises.

“While ocean cruises are great,” Lee said, “river cruises and small ship cruises are able to offer a more personalized luxury experience. One of the biggest perks for many retirees is that the majority of the crowds on these boats are people in their age range, allowing them great opportunities to socialize and make new friends.

“Keep in mind: Some of these cruises only have 14 rooms, so there’s not many people on the cruise to begin with. The majority of river cruises only allow around 300 people on board.”

In terms of destinations for these cruises, Lee has noticed an uptick in “theme tours,” where instead of just visiting a popular port city for the sake of it, the itineraries are based on themes.

For example, some river cruise companies have leaned into theme tours such as “Tulip Time,” where Avalon Waterways takes visitors to see the beautiful tulips of the Netherlands, Lee said.

“For the romantics and the wine lovers, they have dedicated river cruises that are focused on wine,” he added. “So instead of just doing the ‘Rhine Getaway’ package on Viking, maybe you opt for the ‘Romantic Rhine for Wine Lovers’ from Avalon.”

Golf in Scotland or Spas in Finland

Golfing in Scotland and relaxing at spas in Finland are very different types of trips, but they’re grouped together here precisely for that reason. 

Lee has seen many retirees want to do these types of trips, typically with husbands wanting to golf at St. Andrews in Scotland and wives wanting to enjoy spa and wellness retreats in Finland. So, rather than have one spouse go somewhere they’re not excited about, it’s becoming more common for married couples to travel separately.

“We’ve seen a big increase in couples traveling with friends,” Lee said. “Many retirees that have been married for 30+ years are looking for experiences more akin to their desires and interests. The men and women can split into two separate groups, allowing for each person to get the experience they were looking for.”

Cultural and Historical Trips to Portugal

Portugal has risen up the ranks recently to become one of the top travel destinations, particularly among retirees, Lee said. 

Many spots throughout the country entice travelers looking for unique cultural or historical experiences. Plus, it’s a beautiful country.

“The Algarve region in Southern Portugal has some of the nicest beaches in Europe and, generally speaking, Portugal experiences great weather year round,” Lee said. “For the history lovers, Lisbon is packed with sites to see like the Jeronimos Monastery, Belem Tower and Castelo de San Jorge.

“Portugal is also big for retirees with empty nests. Portugal is a very romantic place to visit, from the soulful Fado dinners to the incredible Port wine of the Douro Valley. There’s a lot that Portugal has to offer, and retirees are really flocking there.”

The country also includes some important religious destinations.

“At our travel agency, we’ve seen many retirees come in and ask about Portugal because of the religious pilgrimages to Fatima,” Lee said. “The story goes that three little girls were visited by the Virgin Mary, who gave the girls visions. Since 1917, Fatima has been seen as an important location for Catholics.” 

Patagonia and Amazon Expeditions in South America

Europe isn’t the only vacation spot for retirees. Many also have shown interest in more adventurous trips to South America. These can provide once-in-a-lifetime experiences that are worth the cost.

“The idea is that they are getting older,” Lee said, “and, if they want to experience something a bit more physically demanding, then they should do it now.”

One part of South America that retirees have been drawn to is the Amazon.

“The Amazon is incredible because it’s really unlike anything most have done before,” Lee said. “But I think there’s this idea that you ‘rough it’ with the Amazon, which is just not the case. As mentioned before, retirees are boarding small ship luxury boats and sailing the river. Periodically they stop at these beautiful resorts in the heart of the jungle where you join up with a private guide to explore the jungle safely.”

The Patagonia region is another popular part of South America.

“At our travel agency, we’ve seen recent retirees want a mix of relaxation, hiking and breathtaking views,” Lee said. “Patagonia is great for that. One of our more popular packages includes a stay at an all-inclusive resort surrounded by the mountains of Patagonia. These resorts offer a chance for rest and relaxation at the spas but are also a short distance away from some of the more popular trails in the region.”

Justifying High Costs

While many of these trips can be pricey, especially if traveling via a luxury tour operator, Lee has noticed that rising costs have made these high-end trips more justifiable in some sense.

“A typical 10-day package for Italy is around $8,500 for two people, but that’s traveling in 3- and 4-star accommodations, no transport included, and one to two group tours,” Lee said. “Instead, you can opt for a more luxury experience and stay at a mix of 4- and 5-star properties, have a private driver, and a mix of group and private tours for around $12,000.”

If you have a relatively high travel budget in retirement, it can be worth it to opt for the luxury option.

“It’s an increase, for sure, but the cheaper path doesn’t allow for you to save enough to do two of the same trips in one year if your budget is $15,000 for travel each year,” he added. “So with that said, we’ve seen more and more people opt for the experience that is going to make them less stressed, more comfortable and generally speaking is more exciting than the penny pinching for dream vacations.”
