I live by the motto "I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list"! Experiencing new countries, cultures and foods has greatly enriched my life. Some of my favorite countries are Italy, Ireland, Croatia, and Iceland, but no matter where I go, every country offers unique experiences. I understand that knowing where to begin when planning a special adventure may at times be overwhelming. My goal is to help you enjoy that dream vacation with the least amount of stress, time, and effort during the planning stage. Please allow me to use my expertise and assist you with designing a memorable get-away!

Last Minute Trip

Reviewed By Monica - Asheville, NC | Traveled to California | USA

My husband and I did a last minute get away before the holidays. Grace was able to put together a great itinerary for us. We appreciate her travel tips to help us really get the most from our short vacation.

Christmas Markets

Reviewed By Joeseph K. - Newark, NJ | Traveled to Germany | Europe

We did German Christmas Markets in early December. This is the 4th trip in two years that Grace has designed for us and she never disappoints! All was as planned and went smoothly. Great hotels in perfect locations.

Have yet to take the trip

Reviewed By Gordon - Clayton, North Carolina | Traveled to Canada

Decided to use a travel agent. Lot of work involved. Found Grace. Best decisions that I made. She made all arrangements, plane, hotels, and train, checking in with us all through the process. Due to my error she accepted the extra work without complaint. Great lady. Happy I found her

A complicated trip done right!

Reviewed By Bill B - Clayton, NC | Traveled to Canada

Grace organized a Canadian Rail and Air Link for two pals looking for an adventure. She did it quickly, with all the T's crossed and the I's dotted. It was a pleasure to work with her!

Rome, Florence, and Venice

Reviewed By Lynne and Jim B. - Rolesville, NC | Traveled to Italy | Europe

I am very appreciative of the help and guidance Grace provided. We had never traveled outside of the U.S. before and were very nervous, but Grace had everything lined up and planned so it was seamless. I would certainly recommend Grace and will use her services for future trips.

The best agent

Reviewed By Ruth T. - Long Beach, California | Traveled to Rome | Italy | Europe

From the beginning, Grace made us feel so comfortable and special. She went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs. She gave us different options to make our vacation special. She is resourceful, patient and professional. She went above and beyond to help us plan our trip. I highly recommend Grace.

GRACE RATLIFF RESPONDED

"Ruth, you have been so wonderful to work with! Please call anytime if I can be of any other help! "

Great Trip, Great Service

Reviewed By Marty B. - Tucson, AZ | Traveled to London | England | Europe

My family had a super vacation to London and Paris this summer. Our hotels and tour excursions were top-notch. And so was Grace's customer service. I really appreciate that she was always available to answer questions and to help us plan the trip. She is knowledgeable and so easy to work with.

Repeat Performance

Reviewed By Brenda and Stephen H. - Raleigh, NC | Traveled to Italy | Europe

This was the second trip we've booked with Grace. Both times she provided great insights on where to stay, what to do, and how to get around. Her quick response to emails and calls is excellent. We will be in touch again for our next adventure.

Grace Made It Happen!

Reviewed By Andy - Monterey CA | Traveled to Rome | Italy | Europe

My good friend and I planned a trip to Italy and France. Other than our plane tickets, we had no idea about hotels, trains, or tours. Grace helped with everything. She was knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. The hotels were marvelous and the tours were high quality. We would not have had such a great trip without Graces leadership&thank you, Grace!

Anniversary in Hawaii

Reviewed By Ginny W. - Roxboro, NC | Traveled to Hawaii | USA

We recently celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. We knew we wanted to go to Hawaii, but we didn't know where to stay or what to see and do. Grace gave us excellent suggestions that fit with our travel style and level of activity.

GRACE RATLIFF RESPONDED

"Andy, I am so glad I could help and even more happy that you had a great time! Next time I want to join you!! :-)"
