We specialize in creating lasting relationships
Sandy Pappas Travel is a boutique, travel consultancy specializing in crafting bespoke trips for clients. I use my personal connections around the globe and my firsthand expertise to give my clients unique experiences and VIP treatment. We do not advertise. Instead we specialize in creating lasting relationships with clients, their friends and referrals. My typical client is one who is fully capable of managing their own travel experience but would prefer to rely on someone they trust to ensure that all of the details, great and small, fit their distinct tastes, interests and budget. We listen very carefully to what you want, what you have enjoyed in the past and prior pain points.
