Travel websites purport to put the world at your fingertips. But buyer beware: That five-star review could have been written by your Great Aunt Mildred.
A safer bet: Book your getaway (or fantasy one) with Jet Set World Travel, a Chicago-based agency that specializes in time-of-your-life travel packages. Whether you need the basic hotel/restaurant/rental car combo or are a highflier seeking the private villa/yacht service (as if), Jet Set will do their darnedest to get you there.
How do they do it? Founder Julia Pirrung has been on the go for the past ten years hitting the planet’s hottest locales like Rio de Janeiro, Istanbul, and the Cyclades Islands, so she brings a wealth of insider info to the table. Her goal is to create first-class experiences for every traveler (regardless of budget) and serve as a dependable point of contact throughout your trip. (Need a table at the hottest club in Buenos Aires? She’s your girl.)
Even with the extra personal attention, Jet Set’s prices are still below premium. And you’ll get an unforgettable vacation tailored to your interests.
And leave shuffleboard on the Lido deck to Mildred.
