Croatia - Be a Traveler NOT a Tourist
Croatia is famed for its scenic pebbled beaches, which are beautifully lapped by crystal-clear waters. I LOVE s Brac's Zlatni Rat, also referred to as the Golden Cape. The tip of the beach is everchanging with the wind, meaning you never know quite what shape it'll take when you visit.

Surprise Trip to Holland - Treated Like Royalty
When I finally had the chance to surprise my wife with the trip that she said was the only big trip she would ever want to take (Amsterdam during the famous Tulip Festival) I knew that Carolyn and her crew at Elite Travel was the only way to go. I grew up in a military family, so travel is no big deal to me, but to my wife who had never really been out of the country, the trip to Amsterdam was going to be a REAL CHALLENGE!
Carolyn’s staff really went out of their way to explain all of the details to her. They planned all of the excursions, hotels and other details, which really helped her to worry less before the trip and let her just enjoy her “dream trip”. She loved the trip and it really was all because of the special way Elite Travel treated her.

Great Family Vacations Experience
We have used Elite Travel for many of our family vacations. The team at Elite Travel helped us plan our Disney World Vacation when our kids were younger and they helped us with our Flights & Rental Cars on our trips out to California and Oregon. Both of those trips had us flying into one airport and flying back out of a different airport in a different state and the team at Elite Travel made it all work for us. I would highly recommend that people utilize their services whenever they are planning their trips - Mike H. Missouri

Completely wonderful to work with
I have booked 3 trips with Carolyn and the gang at Elite Travel. All of the travel specialists that I have dealt with have been completely wonderful to work with! They are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They gave me a wonderful recommendation last summer for our first Mexico family vacation. My kids fell in love with Mexico and had the best vacation ever! Staying at an all-inclusive with my kids made it a very enjoyable vacation for mom too:)
