Meet Mariette Tipton
President & CEO
I am dedicated to providing comprehensive travel for you and everyone that travels with you. I can help you plan your flights, tours, accommodations and unique experiences for your next getaway. I have traveled extensively to over 96 countries throughout the world – focusing on Africa, Europe, Asia, Peru and North America. I have completed certification programs with major cruise lines and am also a Globus Tours, Starwood and Amawaterways River Cruise Certified Specialist. My specialties and passions include, but are not limited to, African safaris and mission experiences, group travel and photography. I also love helping my customers explore exotic destinations by providing unique experiences such as gorilla trekking or cycling along the European canals.
I was born in South Africa, lived in the Netherlands, Puerto Rico and the United States. I took my first transatlantic cruise at age 6 to immigrate to America. You might say traveling is in my blood!
I love getting to know your travel desires, investigating the options and delivering dream vacations. You can trust me to provide insider information, customized travel and help you out if you’re ever in a bind. I look forward to helping you discover the vacation of your dreams.
I am a Certified Travel Specialist, CTS, and a Master Cruise Consultant, MCC.
