Change the Way You See the World
At Vacations by Jillian we think that travel is about choosing to invest in your most important relationships, deliberately slowing down, and letting the environment, history, and community of a place inspire you. Helping our clients create meaningful memories they will reflect on and carry with them for the rest of their lives is why we do what we do. It’s never just about the logistics of travel (although we handle those, too). It’s about getting to know you and making sure you have your ideal vacation.
In today's travel landscape there are so many details to think about - passport requirements, health forms, flight changes to keep track of - the list may seem endless, and it's ever changing - but don't worry - we've got it handled! At Vacations by Jillian we specialize in in creating custom itineraries based on your individual needs - and taking the pressure off of you. We love getting to know our clients and designing exactly what's right for you - each and every time you travel.

Kind Words from Our Amazing Clients

"Jillian planned my trip pre-pandemic. With cancellations around the world, she made sure to show me all my options and kept me informed. Once it was time for my trip, I hardly had to lift a finger! I am amazed at Jillian’s ability to take someone’s vision for a trip and bring it to life with excursions, recommendations, tours, and general knowledge of places around the world. My trip was incredible and I was able to dabble in all of the types of experiences I wanted to have within my week. I was able to see castles, take hikes, go on tours, and sightsee across the country. Jillian’s honesty and integrity with her work helped me feel safe and supported as a solo traveler. Additionally, her organization of itineraries, tickets, vouchers, maps, and recommendations for food and sightseeing was superb. Having hard copy and digital copy was accessible and helpful while being abroad. I am so grateful to her for the care she put into planning my trip of a lifetime!"
"Jillian helped us plan an amazing trip to Costa Rica. She worked with us to help us figure out where we wanted to go, and what we wanted to see, and then she worked out the entire planning process step by step. I never want to plan a vacation without her!"
"Vacations by Jillian helped make a sisters trip to Italy that we had been planning for years come true. Jillian’s expertise in finding the perfect hotels, tours and restaurants is exemplary! Her patience in listening to us as we try to decide exactly where we wanted to go was amazing. We thank you for understanding our crazy sense of humor, our indecisiveness at times and the many emails. You are the best of the best at what you do."
"Thank you Jillian for helping us create an exciting and memorable trip. The itinerary you designed for our 10 day self-driving tour of Iceland was perfect. The sequence of the itinerary was easy to follow with the help of your app. Destinations were easy to find with the links provided. The accommodations were luxurious and in the most beautiful settings. The excursions were so fun and educational- exploring a tunnel underneath a glacier, soaking in hot spring baths in a canyon, hiking a glacier, and ATV tour on lava fields! It was evident that Jillian really listened to us as we planned the trip since all of our requests were met- and beyond. We are looking forward to planning our next trip with Jillian! I would highly recommend Vacations by Jillian."
"Jillian was amazing at helping us plan our trip to Prague. We had a limited timeframe for planning and busy with work so not able to do much research on our own. Jillian surveyed our interests and got down to planning right away. She was helpful in timing our activities so that we had some structure and also free time to roam and find things on our own. Jillian was super organized, accommodating when we had changes, and provided all the information we needed for travel (especially during this time of covid restrictions). I trusted Jillian's suggestions and our trip turned out wonderfully."
