How the “Great Pause” Is Helping Suncierge
Given it’s National Travel Advisor Day, I am feeling compelled to share an authentic perspective on life as a travel consultant and small business owner right now.
Toledo, Spain Is a Unique Triple Treat
As we celebrate Passover and Easter this week with our client-friends, I’m reminded of my recent travels to the ancient and unique Toledo, Spain or the “City of Three Cultures” – where during the Middle Ages, Christians, Muslims, and Jews lived in harmony.

The B&B was wonderful, the adventure on the oyster boat complete with hands on shucking and tasting on board, the dinners were amazing of course with Chris Russell. Paying attention to every detail is what Christie does best! PS Suncierge is offering a repeat of this trip the spring. Don’t miss it. read less

She reasearches options for tours and things to do knowing what you like. Suncierge found and booked the Warner Brothers Harry Potter tour for me and it was way more than I ever could have expected! If you love Potter, you must go! She also found the BEST tea place. Afternoon Tea at The Rubens was wonderful. They had fantastic service and they even let me show up an hour before my reservation and seated me with no wait and no issues. Quality services and 5 star attention to detail is what you get with Suncierge! My trip to London was wonderful! read less

She is true professional who really knows the ins and outs of travel. We had never planned a cruise before and really didn't even know what questions to ask. She brought up questions that we would have never come up with on our own and helped us work through the answers. Now the only question we have left is how soon can we hire her again to plan another trip for us. read less

Her thoughts were to travel to Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. I didn't think she thought through the logistics of this 4 country jaunt so I reached out to Christie for some guidance to see what the feasibility would be in planning this trip so close to the Holidays. Christie was prompt, informative and provided us with several options. When looking for a travel agent I highly recommend Christie, her knowledge of the countries was superb. read less

Christie took care of all details, including plane reservations and transport to and from the resort so that we didn't have to deal with enthusiastic islanders eager for cash. She also had to renegotiate when the resort she originally booked was sold, and it was necessary to find another suitable place in the same chain. It was great to turn every detail over to Christie! Her responsiveness and the information she provides in advance of the trip are all great! Knowing that she was on standby if there was a problem was also comforting. I highly recommend Christie and her team at Suncierge for your travel planning. read less

She listens and really pays attention to your needs and wants so she can tailor your adventure to you personally.

Christie made the initial planning process very easy and went the extra mile to find a flight route that got us the best rate. During our trip, we were thrilled with each place we stayed and enjoyed eating locally thanks to the restaurant recommendations provided. It was easy to keep track of our itinerary on the trip with an easy to use app complete with instant messaging to reach the Suncierge team if needed. Would recommend Suncierge to anyone looking for a memorable trip abroad! read less

My husband and I have yet to spend an anniversary together as he was in the military and was typically gone at training or something else. For our 5-year wedding anniversary, we had Christie and her team plan us a 7 day Italy vacation. Every single detail blew my mind. Our travel, accommodations, excursions, wine tours, guides, champagne in ever room we stayed in, all was over-the-top, amazing. I will never plan an international trip again without Suncierge. They are fantastic! read less

Knowing Christie had started her business and knowing her to be thorough, knowledgeable, responsive and attentive with a keen desire to please we asked her to plan a special birthday/anniversary 18 day trip to Maui, Big Island and Waikiki/Oahu. In short order she unveiled a comprehensive, well planned package tailored to our interests and needs. Her pricing and competitive rates produced excellent values of hidden gems that even we were not aware of. The Halekulani Hotel at Waikiki far surpassed our expectations and was truly over the top---no other Hawaiian hotel comes close. The unexpected, although elaborate, cheese tray, champagne and wine which Christie initiated are just a couple of examples of the kaleidoscope of kindness and exemplifies the extra effort Christie took to make our experience complete. Back in North Carolina my wife has slid into a deep tropical depression and contemplates a return trip to Heavenly Hawaii. Thank you, Christie, for helping to make many memorable memories.... read less

Worrying about calling up individual dive places, asking what are the preferred locations, scheduling times, ensuring transportation details are taken care of, finding the right place to stay, booking flights to coordinate with travel dates, etc are all FAR too much for me to handle at this point. Suncierge did it all for me. They took the time to work out the painstaking details of the trip to ensure we had the best time possible. I can't even put a dollar amount to the value they provided. My dive guide even said he was annoyed by how many details they worked out with him - which i LOVED. it means they were trying their hardest to ensure I had the best trip possible. Thank you guys, it was amazing. I will absolutely be using them in the future! read less

Christie Soper and Suncierge to the rescue!! I am so very glad that I gave up the 'self-planning' concept and retained the services of Christie and Suncierge. They created for us truly a dream trip. I had no idea we could manage to travel to Santiago, Valparaiso, Patagonia, the Lake District, and the Atacama Desert in the same trip and in less than 3 weeks. With the custom plan, private drivers, winery tours, day trips, fabulous resorts, incredible food....this was simply amazing, relaxing, adventurous and a trip that I will treasure for all of my days. I highly recommend Suncierge and Christie Soper for your travel planning. read less

We were deep into the February doldrums and needed a gorgeous beach, sun, and a guarantee of 80 degrees. We placed that order with Christie and she delivered! The quaint, boutique hotel she found us was perfect with regard to location, conscientious staff, and lovely accommodations. We love how Christie listens and understands what we’re seeking. We know when we work with her on our travel needs, that she’s carefully vetted out the sites and excursions she’s recommending. And we know she’s a phone call or text away if anything goes south! It gives us great assurance and confidence in partnering with her on our travel experiences. Now, let's get on the other side of this pandemic so we can travel again with Suncierge! read less

This event was a big step for us, as we transitioned from offering this experience as a one-day local event to a four-day destination experience. There were many more moving parts, the stakes were higher, and we needed to assemble the best, most expert team to make it happen. We knew the one phone call to make – Christie Soper and Suncierge. We selected Suncierge as our travel services agent to help us plan and develop tour logistics, interface with vendors, and coordinate travel needs of participants. They excelled at every task. What we couldn’t possibly predict at the time was that COVID-19 would storm the scene 45 days prior to our event, causing us to eventually cancel our program and deal with all the ensuing headaches and logistics. Christie has been a partner on every level. Swirling amidst the hourly chaos, she and her team developed a plan and deployed it with calm, empathy, perseverance, and attention to every detail. Throughout our experience, they’ve been consummate professionals, demonstrating their industry expertise, and savvy negotiation skills. We have deep gratitude for and complete confidence in Suncierge and their entire team. read less

We have done a lot of traveling in our lives, but never have we had such an amazing experience with a travel agency! Christie is IMPECCABLE with details, she even surprised us with activities on our itinerary with our 4yr.old daughter in mind (sheep dog experience in Ireland!) I highly recommend Suncierge for all your travel needs! 🙂 It's soooooo worth it. Don't stress out planning your dream vacation by yourself.....let a true professional handle it! And trust me......you can't do what Christie does.....she's got connections that no one else has. She's a travel magician 🙂 read less

The trip exceeded my expectations. Their recommendation was to a place (Pinehurst) that was welcoming and an overall pleasure to visit. I trust them with my planning needs and will certainly seek their services again in the future.
Second experience with Christie was excellent! We actually lost a day on the front end of our trip due to weather and gained one on the end due to airline complications. In both instances Christie and Melanie were able to help walk us through lodging and rebooking flights. Amazing service!! We’ll be booking through them without fail! read lessPaul McAuliffe -

She was very attentive during the planning process and took care of every single detail- from arranging guides, transportation, getting special access to museums, and even making reservations for us at restaurants. We didn't have to worry about anything. We simply enjoyed our vacation and will be using her in the future!
Update: we used Suncierge for another major vacation this year and they did a great job. Will continue using them in the future.
We just got back from a vacation where we used Suncierge. Christie was immediately available and ready to help when our flight got cancelled late in the evening and we had to find a place to stay. We've had to file travel insurance and Suncierge has been helpful in guiding us through this process. We've used Christie and her team for all of our vacations and they've done a remarkable job each time! read lessAshley Mortenson
