Personal Travel Planning for Chicago, Illinois

Personal travel planning for Chicago

From Chicago, the world is closer than it looks. Travel Wizards is a Virtuoso member agency founded in 1981, planning luxury travel for Chicago residents entirely remotely: one advisor, one relationship, and an itinerary built around you.

Our advisors serve Chicago the same way we serve clients across the country: through personal conversations, careful itinerary design, and support while you are away. Founded in 1981 and still deliberately mid-sized, Travel Wizards is large enough to hold Virtuoso membership and ARC and IATA accreditation, and small enough that your advisor knows your name, your dates, and your preferences. Planning happens remotely by phone, email, or virtual consultation, at your pace.

The journeys we plan for Chicago travelers span the full range of luxury travel: ocean and river cruises on lines we know personally, expedition voyages to Antarctica and the Arctic, private jet journeys, African safaris, honeymoons and anniversary trips, multigenerational family vacations, and fully custom independent itineraries. If you can imagine it, we have likely planned it for someone, and we will tell you honestly what it takes to do it well.

Ready to start? Contact Travel Wizards and tell us where Chicago should take you next. A short conversation is all it takes to begin, and your advisor will take it from there.

Chicago travelers also ask us about closer-to-home escapes, and we are glad to help with those too, from Chicago’s architecture, museums, and lakefront to the Abraham Lincoln sites of Springfield. The point of an advisor is not the size of the trip; it is the quality of the planning behind it.

Because we plan remotely, working with us from Chicago is no different from working with us in person: the same advisor, the same attention, the same advocacy when plans change. Many of our longest client relationships have never involved a single office visit.

If you are comparing options for your next journey, bring us your shortlist. An advisor can tell you which choice suits your travel style, which departure dates offer the best value, and which details are worth arranging before you leave Chicago.

Chicago sits in Illinois, a state celebrated for Chicago’s architecture, museums, and lakefront and the Shawnee National Forest. Many of our Chicago clients are seasoned travelers who want an advisor, not a website, handling the details. We plan remotely, so working with us from Chicago is as easy as a phone call.
