Escorted Groups & Group Bookings

I will work with you and your group of like-minded people — family, friends, book club, condo association, writing group, knitting club, etc. — to facilitate a tour that covers your special interests. Maybe your group would like a wellness retreat or would love to visit famous English gardens. Or travel to Italy to sample the foods in various regions. I will work with you to create an amazing tour covering all the points of interest you want to see and experience. And as the tour initiator, you are eligible for a trip incentive as you bring your group together to sign up for the group booking. Reach out to me by phone or email to discuss your ideas and together we can make your trip happen.

I was born and raised in the Netherlands so it’s not surprising that I’m in love with tulips. When I was growing up my father often took the family on spring tours of the enchanting Keukenhof gardens, famous for their tulip displays.

I still delight in visiting the tulip fields each spring,...

Thank Goodness We Have a Travel Planner!
Ilja and Voyage Blue came through in a big way for us on our trip to Colorado Springs. Booking flights and rental car for us, checking in our flights went smoothly. Where Ilja and her team really shined was when our return flight was delayed for 2 days the morning of scheduled departure. All it took on my end was 1 phone and 1 text and Voyage Blue Travel made sure our flights were secured and got our rental car extended. My very first thought when I heard our flight was cancelled was "Thank goodness we have a travel planner!" No hassle for us and the best part was we got 2 extra 65 degree days with our daughter in Colorado while 20 inches of snow fell at home.

Ilja-a must for domestic and international travel
Ilja has helped us with flight arrangements and accommodations for the past 6 years or so. She is the calming presence in the storm of traveling, helping us with cancelled flights, trips that were canceled as Covid began its world-wide spread. We would never plan a trip without her help and feel very lucky to have found her.
