Is "my way" your philosophy of travel?

For the traveler seeking a specialized or unique vacation, our Destination Specialists offer one-on-one planning services. With our expertise and years of experience, we can help you book a trip that matches your exact specifications. We have Specialists who have visited every continent, so when we make a recommendation, it comes from first-hand experience, not a guidebook. Our relationships with airlines, hotels, and tour companies give us the support and exclusive value you won't find on your own.

Your tailored travel arrangements can include:

  • Best rates on airfare, even for complicated itineraries
  • Unique accommodations, including villas and boutique hotels
  • English-speaking guides who know the local sites and culture
  • Tickets to popular attractions, such as the Louvre in Paris
  • Specialty tours based on your personal interests
  • Passports and visa counseling
  • Travel protection policies
  • Concierge services

Here's the kind of customized trip we can book…

"Kenneth" is a connoisseur of Asian cuisine. After years of daydreaming, he and a fellow "foodie" decided to make a pilgrimage to their culinary Mecca. Kenneth went to Garber Travel and handed a piece of paper to our Asia Specialist. It was a list of out-of-the-way restaurants and open-air markets in Vietnam, Thailand, and China, which they had compiled while following the adventures of gastronomic explorers like Anthony Bourdain. "That's my dream vacation," he said. It took some work, but our Specialist turned that list into an itinerary—flights, hotels, and local guides—that allowed them to experience every piece of durian fruit, "stinky tofu," and fish stomach sauce (don't ask) they were bold enough to sample. The trip wasn't cheap, but the specialist found deals that helped trim the price to something more "palatable" to their wallets.

If you're ready to book the trip you've always dreamed of taking—exactly the way you want to take it—call our Specialist Ed Shields at 1-800-749-9692 or eshields@garbertravel.com.


Travel Packages & Tours

Travel packages are perfect for people who want to enjoy a great vacation while letting someone else worry about the details.

There's a package for every kind of traveler. If you want to concentrate 100% on relaxing, we can book an all-inclusive package that includes transportation, hotel, entertainment, meals, and drinks. If you prefer more flexibility, we'll find a package that allows you to choose your own itinerary, attractions, and dining. Are you somewhere in between those two options? There's a package for that, too.

Just tell our Destination Specialists the kind of vacation you want, and they'll help you find the perfect tour, cruise, or resort. Garber Travel has long-standing relationships with the world's most trusted tour companies, so, when we book your vacation package, you'll be in dependable hands.

"Rick" wanted an opportunity to reconnect with his wife of 14 years. He didn't care where they went, he said, as long as the resort was comfortable and a white-sand beach was nearby. And, oh, they didn't want to lift a finger while they were there. No problem. A Garber Travel Destination Specialist told him about the all-inclusive resorts nestled on the sun-drenched shores of the Dominican Republic. He chose a week-long, adults-only escape. Everything was included in the price: airfare, a secluded beachfront villa, and, as it turns out, a tropical spark that rekindled his marriage. After they returned, his only complaint was that they did have to lift a finger—when they needed a refill on their margaritas!

When you're ready for a no-hassle getaway, contact us. We'll find the package, tour, or cruise that matches your definition of the perfect vacation.

Singles Travel

With most travel deals requiring "double occupancy," it may seem like singles never travel. But we know you do—and we're ready to prove that you don’t need a group of people to make a vacation memorable, comfortable, and affordable!

At Garber Travel, we understand why people take solo vacations. There's the excitement of embarking on an individual adventure. The spontaneity of setting your own schedule. The opportunity to indulge in a personal passion or fulfill a lifelong dream.

Whatever your reason, our Specialists can...

  • Suggest cruises and tours that offer more affordable single supplements
  • Match you with the most "single-friendly" destinations
  • Recommend tour companies with singles-designated departures
  • Book your kind of singles vacation—from adventure to luxury

Here's the kind of singles trip we can book…

"Emily" dreamed of going to Holland and Belgium with her best friend. When a family emergency forced her friend to cancel, Emily decided to go anyway. However, she was nervous about driving in Europe and the high cost of hotels. Did Garber Travel have an alternative? Our Destination Specialist suggested a river cruise. That way, Emily could visit Amsterdam and Bruges as she planned—and let the ship's captain handle the "driving." She'd visit each city for a full day, with plenty of time to see the sights and sample the cheese and chocolate. The casual onboard atmosphere would make it easy to meet fellow passengers. Best of all, our Specialist knew that one cruise line was waiving its single supplement, so Emily saved over $1,000. Emily loved the cruise and is already talking about going again next year—with her friend.

When you're ready to set off on an independent journey, contact us. We'll show you that traveling solo doesn't require a "single" compromise on destinations, enjoyment, or price!

Destination Weddings & Honeymoons

When is a wedding more than a wedding? When it's a destination wedding—held in some lush, exotic, unforgettable location.

When is a honeymoon more than a honeymoon? When it makes every honeymoon dream come true—and builds a bond of love that lasts a lifetime.

If you want your wedding or honeymoon to be sweet perfection, cupid has sent you to the right place. Garber Travel's Romance Specialists have helped hundreds of couples make their special day even more special and their honeymoon even more blissful. We specialize in:

Destination weddings: Popular locations for destination weddings include the Caribbean, Mexico, and Hawaii. You can get married in a grand hall at a luxury resort, barefoot on the beach, under the stars, or on a cruise ship. You can choose a large-scale wedding with hundreds of guests, or a more intimate affair with just close friends and family.

Whatever your preference, our Destination Wedding Specialists can:

  • Match you with your dream destination
  • Connect you with a wedding planner at your selected destination
  • Explain how to meet all legal requirements
  • Arrange travel and accommodations for friends and family

Honeymoons: Our Honeymoon Specialists can recommend the most sensual islands, the most enchanting European cities, or the most exotic escapes. Whether you seek private beaches and relaxing spas, pulse-racing adventure, or cultural stimulation and gourmet dining, we can create the perfect honeymoon itinerary for you.

Here's the kind of honeymoon we can book…

"Ashley" was planning a honeymoon to Italy. The young couple was open to adventure, but they were uneasy about traveling independently, and didn’t want to book their own hotels. They wanted to see as much as possible, but didn’t want to spend their whole honeymoon on a sightseeing bus. (Where's the romance in that?) Our Europe Specialist wasn't fazed by Ashley's requirements. She quickly suggested two possible tours. All travel and hotels were included, along with some "must-see" sightseeing. But the young couple would get lots of free time to explore the canals of Venice, discover a favorite flavor of gelato in Rome, and stroll the vineyards of Tuscany. They chose the tour that offered the best deal on airfare, and booked the package the next day. Ashley is now practicing Italian phrases, and counting down the days until they depart.

A well-planned destination wedding or honeymoon is the perfect beginning of a lifelong journey to "happily ever after." Contact us if you're ready to take the first step.

We've helped make travel arrangements to countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Moldova, Kazakhstan, and Romania. We've also helped connect loving parents to adoptive child in Ethiopia, Lebanon, Guatemala, Colombia, Bulgaria, and South Korea.

  • Flexible airfares & schedule changes
  • Child-friendly seat assignments & children's meals
  • Land arrangements & in-country contacts
  • Passports & visa counseling
  • Cultural do's and don'ts
  • Travel protection policies

Our Adoption Specialists are proud to help children from around the world meet their new parents. If you visit us at our Chestnut Hill office, you'll see a wall of photos from adoption families of their beautiful new sons and daughters.

Here's the kind of adoption travel we can arrange…

A Connecticut couple who had adopted twin girls called Garber Travel again a few years later. The mother explained, "You know about twins, don't you? They each have their own toys, and now they each want their own little brother!" The mother told the girls they planned to add one little brother to the family—so the twins would have to share him. The couple needed to go to Lithuania to adopt their new son, and our Adoption Specialists made the travel arrangements. Shortly afterwards, we got a call from the mother. She said the Lithuanian judge overseeing the adoption offhandedly said, “He has a brother. Do you want him?” The couple both instantly said, "Yes!" Our Specialist quickly changed their return reservations to include the brother. The moral of the story, the mother told us later, is that the twins were right. They each got their own little brother!

Adoption travel is unique, but you don't need to feel alone. We'll take the stress out of the travel so you can concentrate on the joy of the adoption.

Call 1-800-748-3302 to schedule a consultation. Or drop by our Chestnut Hill office, Monday-Friday anytime between 9:00 am and 5:30 pm. You can also reach our Adoption Specialists directly:
