Why use a travel agent?

Your travel planning just got easier

What is a travel agent and why do I need one?

Utilizing a travel agent may seem as old-fashioned as suitcases without wheels, but rest assured that travel agents are a significant part of the travel industry. Travel agents and consultants provide an invaluable, and often free, service to ensure that your vacation, honeymoon, or destination wedding is the trip of your dreams. If something does go wrong, you have someone to call, text, or email who is in your corner and can contact airlines, resorts, or tour companies on your behalf.

A few things you should know about travel agents:

  • There is no fee for my services. I work off of commission, just like the online companies you have most likely booked with before. When you book with an online agency, they receive a commission from the hotel or resort. When you book with a local travel agent, we receive the commission instead.
  • I provide personalized service. During a consultation, I will ask you questions about your travel plans and preferences to help ensure that the resort, tour, or destination matches your travel style and expectations. I know what resorts have nightlife, and what resorts offer a quiet, relaxed vibe. The same goes for different cruise lines and itineraries as well!
  • Itinerary customization. Want to visit several cities in Italy? I can book all of your hotels and transportation for you AND help you decide how long to stay in each city. Dreaming of a destination wedding? I’d love to help you with that. Taking the kids to Disney and not sure what dining plan you need? Let’s visit and I can help you weed through those decisions.
  • The lowest prices. I have access to discounts and specials to help you get the lowest price. Find a lower price online? The vendors I work with value travel agents and are wiling to match online pricing if a lower price is found.
  • Flexible payment options. I can often accept low deposits with final payments due 45-60 days prior to the dates of travel.
  • Knowledge is power. As a travel professional, I am constantly working to keep my knowledge up to date. I participate in ongoing education and love to learn about new destinations and resorts! Travel agents visit resorts and destinations so that we have first hand knowledge of the places we send our valued clients.

Chicago Travel Agent Near Me

Hey there, I'm Joe Merendino – a self-proclaimed travel enthusiast with a childhood drenched in California sunshine and a penchant for zigzagging across the country to visit my extended family in New York. Those cross-country trips for family gatherings and special occasions fostered a love for maps, geography, and the sheer thrill of air travel. I could regale my parents with every detail of our trips and destinations, fueled by an insatiable curiosity. The year 1992 marked a pivotal moment when I embarked on my first cruise, a brief 3-night escapade with Royal Caribbean. To call it a transf...  Read More >>>

Harmony Of The Seas











Joe, with Vincent vacations, was absolutely fantastic to work with. 10/10 Would recommend. This was my family‘s first cruise, so I had a myriad of questions. He’s always available for a quick call and always quickly responded to text messages/emails. He had great insight into tips and tricks that made our Vacation extremely smooth annd enjoyable…not to mention cheaper.


Because of Joe’s help the vacation I went on was significantly better than the one I would’ve gone on, had I tried to do everything on my own. If you’re not using a travel agent to help plan your vacation, you’re foregoing an extremely valuable resource. I highly recommend Joe and Vincent Vacations to assist you in planning your next getaway.

Christmas Cruise

Joseph was amazing in helping with all our needs. We have all ages from 2-73. He made sure everyone would enjoy the things he suggested. When I needed something he got back very quickly and emailed me things more than once. Great experience. Will use him in the future.

Ireland 2024 - Birthday Trip

I recently came back from my Irish vacation and man was it one for the books! Joe started by helping me plan my trip and asked me about the different things I wanted to see while in Ireland. With his help I was able to tackle all of the items off of my bucket list, excluding Giant's Causeway. The guided tour he hand picked for me was nothing short of fantastic. The tour guide, Peter was knowledgeable and helped bring the country to life. He told us all about the island, folklore and history of the country. Each stop gave us time to explore on our own whether that was visiting the many castles and historical sites, local shopping and/or eating. We even got to explore areas of the Wicklow Mountains where Queen Victoria had a picnic many years before. This was definitely a trip of a lifetime for me. It gave me the ability to explore a country I have never been to before and gave me piece of mind that I would be safe as a solo traveler. Each place we stopped at for the night had a unique experience attached to it. I'd say one of the highlights of the trip was going to Bunratty Castle and Taylor's Night out. We even had a chance to taste the BEST Irish coffee at the Red Fox while on our travels. I will definitely be booking another adventure with Joe. We are starting to talk about a cruise in Greece. Thank you Joe for a trip of a lifetime! xoxo Megan
