"She even went above and beyond to locate our lost luggage (in Chicago) on the way there and facilitated the airlines finding our lost bags, shipping them to Europe, and having a courier deliver them to our hotel in Paris! A+ customer service."

Why travelers plan with Beverly

60+ professional certifications

Training across cruise lines, resorts and destinations, so I know the details before you ask.

One advisor, start to finish

You work with me, not a team. I reply within one business day.

Concierge care before, during and after travel

I plan every detail, I'm a text or call away while you're gone, with a 24/7 backup line after hours, and I check in when you're home.

5.0 on Google

Every review is from a real client, in their own words.

I've walked it

I tour resorts and villas in person, like Half Moon in Montego Bay, so my advice comes from being there.

Built around how you travel

Nothing comes off a shelf. Your pace, your interests and the way you like to travel shape every day.

Small ships to private charters

Small ships, expedition voyages and catamaran charters are where I go deepest.

Insider access wherever you travel

My Travel Leaders Network membership and global partners open doors for you around the world.

You don't need more options. You need the right one.

You can spend forty hours on booking sites and still not know if the suite you picked has the view you paid for. I've vetted the properties, in person or through advisors I trust, I know which transfer companies show up on time, and I know which "beachfront" listings mean a ten-minute walk. That's the difference between a trip that looks good online and one that's good when you're standing in it.

When I recommend a resort in St. Lucia or a river ship in Bordeaux, it's because I've checked it, not because it came up first in a search.

I'm a travel agent serving Sioux Falls and South Dakota, and I plan trips for clients across the country.

If you'd rather see the work than read about it, the trips I've planned and the reviews clients left are both here.

Three steps. No surprises.

1

We talk first.

A short call where I ask about the occasion, who's going, what you can't stand, and what you've loved before. You'll know by the end whether I'm the right fit.

2

I build it.

Flights, rooms, transfers, dinner reservations, the guide who actually knows the Amalfi coast roads. You get one document with everything in it.

3

I stay on it.

My direct number goes with you. If a flight cancels at 2 a.m. or the villa isn't what was promised, you call me and I fix it. That's what you're hiring me for.

Tell me about your charter

A few quick taps. I read every request myself.

Come with me

A few times a year I plan a small group trip and travel on it. Alaska and the Christmas Markets are next, with Costa Rica and Bali after that. Pricing goes to the interest list first, the day the suppliers confirm it.

What kind of trip are you dreaming about?

Three taps and I'll show you where I'd start.

Skip this, I'd rather just talk to Beverly

From the desk

I also write The Luxury Travel Brief on LinkedIn, one idea at a time, shorter and faster than the journal.

Questions

Questions I get asked

Yes. I'm based in Sioux Falls and plan trips for travelers here and across the country. Most planning happens by phone, text or video, so it's easy to work together wherever you are.

No. I'm based in Sioux Falls and plan trips for clients across the country. Everything happens by phone, video and email, so where you live doesn't change how we work together.

Mostly commission, paid by the resort, cruise line or tour company. It's already built into the price, and for resorts, cruises and tours that price is the same whether you book direct or through me. Using me doesn't change what you pay for the travel itself. Some trips also have a planning fee. If you already know the resort or ship and your dates, there's no fee. I book it and take care of you from there. When a trip needs real research, like several stops, a custom itinerary or a big group, there's a planning fee, and you'll know the amount before I start.

For the trips that matter, yes. You can book a room online. What you won't get is someone who knows which room category faces the wind, which transfer company actually shows up, and who to call when a flight cancels at 2 a.m. That's the part I'm paid for.

Honeymoons and anniversaries, milestone birthdays, family trips to Europe, overwater stays in Tahiti and the Maldives, safari, expedition cruising, river cruises, and small hosted groups. If it's a trip that matters to you, it's the kind I plan.

Book a consult. It's a short call where I ask a lot of questions and you decide whether I'm the right fit. No pressure either way.

Start with a conversation.

One call. You bring the occasion and the dates you're hoping for. I'll tell you plainly whether I'm the right person for it.

The trip is yours. The details are mine.
