Once you complete the online New Traveler Inquiry Form, we will schedule a complimentary discovery call. This 30–45-minute call is an opportunity for us to get acquainted with one another and for me to discover your vision of that perfect bucket-list trip. The types of questions asked during our call may include: what are your hobbies, where have you traveled, what did you like best about your last vacation, and what DIDN'T you like about your last vacation? This discovery session allows me to design a one-of-a-kind vacation tailored to YOUR specific needs.
Although I have a special passion for culinary trips, I am able to design the following types of travel: romance- including honeymoons and destination weddings, wellness, adventure, solo, group, family, and multigenerational travel.
No trip to Brussels would be complete without a trip to one of the many chocolate shops located within this great city. Afterall, Brussels is the home of world-famous Godiva Chocolates which was founded in 1926.
As with many European cities, the area is quite compact and easily walkable. Brussels is often referred to as the capital of chocolate and there is no shortage of wonderful candy shops in which to indulge yourself. While you are there, why not take a chocolate workshop to try your hand at crafting these confections? You just might become the next new chocolatier.
In addition to booking your travel and accommodations in Brussels, I would love to recommend several classes, workshops, museums, and walking tours that focus on this “sweeter side” of Brussels. I can also map out for you the best places to sample and purchase some of the world’s finest candies for yourself.
Italy is one of the world’s largest producers of olive oil, or Olio di oliva (olive oil in Italian), second only to Spain. The use of olive oil for cooking, medicinal properties, and religious ceremonies dates back to the Romans. Did you know that today there are over 350 varieties of olives grown in Italy? No wonder its flavor is so complex and delicious.
The Olio di oliva that is produced in Tuscany is a special blend of three types of olives: Frantoio, Moraiolo, and Leccino each with a distinct flavor. These olives lend their fruity, spicy, and sweet notes to the oil, making Tuscany home to some of the best oils in all of Italy.
Tuscany is a must see on your trip to Italy. Dreaming of a trip to one of the many vineyards in the region? Here you can not only sip fine wine, but also enjoy fresh oil dipped in a crusty grilled country bread. With Tuscany earning the distinction of Italy's only Protected Geographic Origin (PGI) label for olive oil, you won't want to miss out! Let me arrange a private driver complete with a trip to a vineyard and lunch at a county home for you and your friends.
Perhaps a cooking class is more your style? Put on that apron, roll up your sleeves, and let's get cooking! Allow me to design a once-in-a-lifetime culinary trip. You will be talking about this trip for years to come!
You have arrived in Paris and are sitting at a sidewalk café enjoying a cold glass of bubbly. Welcome to the birthplace of champagne! What could be more perfect than sipping champagne at a bar located on the top level of the Eiffel Tower?
Welcome to the Bar à Champagne - Tour Eiffel. While reservations aren't required, you will need a lift ticket to tour this landmark. I would be happy secure your ticket to the Eiffel Tower or to any of the fabulous attractions located in the heart of the City of Lights!
It is only fitting that you head out for a quick day trip to northern France where you will find the Champagne region. You may be aware that only the sparkling wine that is produced here can be called Champagne. A trip to the fascinating wine caves in the Champagne region is a must see. These ancient caves were dug by the Romans to mine salt and chalk deep below Reims, France. In the 1600s winemakers realized that the cool temperatures in these caves was perfect for storing their precious champagne. Enjoy a glass of Taittinger’s or Ruinart’s champagne while exploring these caves. Would you like a private driver for the day? We can arrange that too.
Celebrating your love for each other.
Just imagine your destination wedding or vow renewal held in a vineyard in Napa or Tuscany underneath hundreds of twinkling lights while your guests enjoy the most delicious wines. Perhaps a wedding barefoot on the beach at a luxury 5-star resort in Mexico or the Caribbean is more your style, where you and your guests will enjoy all the regional flavors that the destination has to offer.
Are you dreaming of an ultra-romantic luxury honeymoon in an overwater bungalow with your own private plunge pool in the Maldives complete with butler service and a gourmet breakfast in bed?
Why not plan to celebrate your special anniversary in paradise and include a romantic candlelight dinner just for two of you on a pristine beach in the Carribean with the soft sand and gentle waves providing all the ambiance you need.
Let's plan a "babymoon" designed for you and your husband to enjoy each other while being surrounded by the calm, peaceful setting of a lush tropical garden overlooking the deep blue waters of Hawaii. A day of pampering at the spa is just what you both need before your precious baby arrives!
You Save Precious Time
It is a big world out there full of information and let’s be honest, all of that research can be overwhelming! It takes a lot of time reviewing the endless amount of information that is posted online from multiple sources. Some data indicates the average the time spent planning your vacation is between 10-20 hours! There are so many questions for you to consider. What is the hottest destination…what is the newest trend in travel…what is the perfect hotel with the best amenities to fit our needs… which cruise line has the best itineraries...what should we do and see once we get there…what are the travel restrictions that are in place at our destination, which is a huge concern in our post covid world!
You Are Relying on a Professional
Continuing education is a must for travel advisors, and I am constantly educating myself on the various suppliers, tour operators, destinations, excursions, and travel alerts/restrictions.
No group of professionals travel more than the travel agent community, but let’s face it, no one person has been everywhere. Whatever destination or resort you desire, rest assured that either myself or one my 700 + colleagues at Luxevo Vacations have been there. If that still is not enough, Luxevo Vacations is a part of the largest consortia of travel agents in the world, Travel Leaders Network. I have access to the most up to date, first-hand TRUSTED travel information available backed by thousands of experienced advisors. You just cannot get that kind of trusted information from your co-worker’s social media feed, and how can you really be sure that candid review you read on Yelp wasn’t a paid review? Partnering with me, you gain an instant connection to all the resources entrusted to the travel agent community.
Personalized Service is Guaranteed When Partnering with Me
Just because your neighbor’s trip to the Bahamas was perfect for them, that does not mean that same trip would be perfect for you!

Are you needing reservations to the top restaurants in your destination? I would be happy to assist. It all starts with our discovery call!
Special Access Means More Value for You

April 2023-"Mary Beth Hurrell with Luxevo vacations created a memorable honeymoon for myself and my husband. After our wedding last June, we were all set to go to Mexico, which quickly had to be changed due to several storms rolling in. Our travel advisor worked quickly to change our plans last minute (literally days before our trip) and thanks to travel insurance, was able to book us three awesome accommodations between North and South Carolina, specifically Asheville and Charleston. My husband and I were able to take advantage of awesome food, beers, and the natural beauty of the mountains and beaches which created a honeymoon we will never forget. May Beth even went so far as to ensure our hotels had welcome surprises of champagne and chocolates upon our arrival, which was a very thoughtful gift. We will certainly use Mary Beth Hurrell with Luxevo vacations again and refer her to anyone!"

September 2021- “Lots of friends and family asked for Alaska pics and vids. If you have the chance, it's an amazing trip. Huge thanks to Mary Beth Glackin Hurrell my travel agent here and Paolo Zampieri once I arrived. My bags were all transferred, fishing license ready, dinner reservations when needed and all excursions set up seamlessly! It was turnkey all we had to do us show up and have fun. I highly recommend these two!”
