Our Specialists

The Greatways Travel staff is comprised of accoladed travel advisors who have personally been where you want to go… who can describe in detail a specific hotel room, cruise cabin or safari lodge… who can tell you in great detail about the nearby restaurants, shops and - also - what to avoid! Those savvy insider travel tips that only result from personal experience. We are especially proud of Phoebe, our owner, who has been acknowledged by Conde Nast Traveler for 24 YEARS as a Top African Specialist—89 trips to that continent and counting!

All of the above is only possible through the powerful human connection that we provide each and every day. We know the “ins-and-outs” of the most venerated places in our world, plus many other idyllic and utopian “hidden gems” that are still blissfully authentic and miles away from mass tourism.

We so very much look forward to talking with you to plan the MOST memorable and special holiday imaginable. Please reach out to us by phone or email us by clicking on our names below—here for you nearly 24/7!!
