Phyllis Smiley
IPhyllis Smiley joined our team after retiring from a successful career as a municipal attorney. Phyllis has a passion for travel, having travelled much of the US, Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, Israel, Southeast Asia, and India. She is quickly learning the intricacies of planning and booking travel and is having a ball planning fabulous trips for our clients. We frequently hear her say, “That trip sounds amazing! I want to go too!” She loves Italy (for the food, culture, heritage and design), France, (including Normandy and Provence – for the countryside and, of course, food), London, (for her favorite Indian restaurant – Tamarind of Mayfair - and the theatre), and India (for the color, the food, and vibrancy of life one experiences every day there). On her list for future travel are South America, Africa, the Galapagos, Japan, and just about everywhere else in the world that she has not yet been. Her next destination is Kenya and Tanzania (fingers crossed!).
What are clients are saying……
Fantastic as usual..
Judi and her team are totally attentive to you from the time they book your trip/cruise/accommodations to after you arrive back home. Communication and easy access to a travel professional is so reassuring when booking abroad especially. Judi works much magic with outstanding properties worldwide but to me the biggest advantage in working with her is that she actually has been almost everywhere! Nothing better than hands on experience, I say. P.S. Portugal is such a great value with gorgeous experiences. Get out of Lisboa and see Cascais, Estoril, the Algarve, Porto and Douro Valley for sure. Plan with Judi and team...so lovely.
Working with Judi is a pleasure!
Miss Judi Walker stepped in & was with us the entire way. We had such a marvelous experience with her & her team... We have been pestering Judi for nearly 5 glorious & Adventure filled years! We trust her judgement implicitly. Judi & the Gang at Alliance Travel have gone above & far beyond all our expectations. She is without a doubt- there as we begin to plan the next adventure. We are grateful we found her!
They planned a top notch trip for me
and everything was first class and without issue! I had an emergency right before leaving that put the trip in jeopardy and Judi was with me every step of the way. I was able to contact them hourly right up to the last 4 hours before take off, and they helped me navigate options and issues with ease! It was tense for me, but knowing I had this first class team on call made it so much easier to deal with! We were able to get to take the trip, and they were on the phone with us right through the ride to the airport! I couldn't ask for a more helpful and endearing team! Once on our way, everything was first class, the hotels were beautiful, the drivers were friendly and English speaking, the cars were luxurious and the tours were paced just for us! What a wonderful lifetime memory!I
