Custom Vacations and Luxury Cruises & Excursions

As a travel agent for more than 50 years, I believe my greatest asset is my personal travel experience and in-depth knowledge of destinations that I love. I have traveled extensively in Italy and have fallen in love with the sights, the friendly people, the food, and the art. Through my travels, I have developed an extensive list of contacts, vendors, and resources. When I’m not on my way to my next exciting destination, I live in Tampa, Florida, and I love sharing my love of travel with my clients.

Another favorite destination of mine is Ireland, because of the friendly, informal vibe, the food, and the natural beauty. Additionally, I am a dedicated foodie, and I have completed advanced courses in art and history and consider myself a museum expert.

My greatest fulfillment comes from helping travelers with unique needs, crafting vacations that target their special interests, and removing barriers to their travel experience. I once arranged a trip for a wheelchair-bound client that included custom-height beds for ease and comfort and a guided night-time golf cart tour to a Roman fountain!

I pride myself on being able to think outside the box and rise to the many challenges that travel can present. I understand that personal desires take priority, and I am always there for my clients, not only during the planning stage but throughout the entire trip.

One of my most challenging experiences was a trip to Morocco that I planned for an adult daughter and her senior father. Sadly, while she was on a tour one afternoon, he passed away while napping in his hotel room. I immediately helped her with insurance arrangements, transport of his remains, and most importantly, provided virtual emotional support during an extremely difficult time.

I sell myself as a reliable, knowledgeable, and sincere advisor. I always recommend travel experiences that satisfy a client's special interests, not necessarily only well-known sites. I work hard to add a distinctive flavor to each itinerary and can do this because I thoroughly understand the intricacies of custom travel arrangements.

Legacy Trip
Reviewed By Mother and daughter - Brooksville, FL | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Binnie really listens to your wishes, has great suggestions and perfect solutions for all your expected needs and wants. The hotels were wonderful, the layover time critical, the tours excellent and the itinerary very thorough. You can tell she has years of experience. She's fun to work with and answers questions promptly. I am grateful I found her for this very important heritage trip with my daughter. Thanks Binnie!!!

Traval plans for many years
Reviewed By Mike - Tampa Fl. | Traveled to
We first met Binnie to plan a trip more than 17 years ago and have utilized her every since. With her knowledge and experience we always see the important and vital sites that make every trip memorable. Binnie has planned river cruises, overland trips and ocean cruises and we have never been disappointed.

Took care of everything
Reviewed By Deborah - St. Petersburg, FL | Traveled to
Binnie's planning, attention to detail, knowledge and experience contributed extensively to our wonderful "buckIet list" Greek Isle cruise followed by a few days in Italy. She coordinated not only the cruise and flights, but ground transportation, accommodations as well as private tours and made relevant recommendations for all aspects of this trip. We started planning this trip almost a year in advance and she never failed to miss a deadline and kept us informed all along the way. We would highly recommend Binnie for any of your travel needs.

Italy Trip-of-a-Lifetime!
Reviewed By Karen - Tampa, FL | Traveled to
If you are planning a trip to Italy, you definitely should contact Binnie Coppersmith at Travelworld! I was planning a trip to Italy for my family of 5, and was referred to Binnie who is their "Italy Specialist". She did not disappoint! At our first meeting I described where we wanted to go and some of the sites that we did not want to miss. Binnie immediately started putting together an itinerary based on our interests, while also offering suggestions along the way. She tweaked our itinerary so that we flew in to Naples and flew home from Venice, and organized our train tickets, hotels and tours in each of the cities we visited - Positano, Rome, Florence and Venice. We had the perfect mix of organized tours and free time. When we left Tampa, we had all of our train tickets in hand so that negotiating the Italian trains was painless. All of the tours that Binnie booked for us were excellent with guides showing up on time and ready to go. We skipped the long lines at the major attractions, a definite plus when you saw the crowds that were waiting in the hot Italian sun! The hotels that Binnie chose for us were small, "boutique" type hotels that offered spotless rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and delicious morning breakfasts. All were in excellent locations within close walking distance to attractions, restaurants and shopping. In fact, my husband and I were delighted to be upgraded to a luxurious junior suite at our Florence hotel - at no additional cost to us! Before leaving on our trip, Binnie met with my entire family several times, so that my daughters - ages 23,20 and 16 - could be included in the planning (and excitement) of this trip. When my husband, who is working in Saudi Arabia, needed a last minute change to his flight, Binnie handled it easily and still made sure that both of our flights landed in Naples close to the same time. We couldn't have enjoyed our trip to Italy any more than we did, and we are so happy that we chose Binnie to plan it!

"My agent" for many years and travels!
Reviewed By Adlibs - Tampa | Traveled to
I would and do trust Binnie implicitly. She tells me frankly when my ideas are unrealistic and provides a better alternative. She gives me all I need to make my travels as easy as possible. Binnie keeps me informed but does not bother me with endless questions. I have referred many friends and colleagues to her for their travels and she has never disappointed. I dread the day she decides to retire! Her wealth of knowledge could not be replaced.
