Thirty years creating unforgettable travel experiences.

A note from our founder

“Whenever I entrust someone with something important to me, I hope to know that they are as impassioned about the endeavor as I am. Travel planning should be no different, and in sharing my experience in the industry with you, I hope it becomes clear that travel for me is more than just an opportunity to be of service to my clients:

At fifteen, I took my first trip on an airplane. While the destination was not some exotic destination in a far-off land, it was, for me, a dream come true… San Francisco. I will never forget the exhilaration and excitement that I felt as my mother and I researched and planned each little detail of our “big” adventure.

The experience changed me and set in motion the path I would take for the rest of my life. At 22 years old I started my career in the travel industry and have never looked back.

My experience in the business now spans over 30 years. Along the way I have traveled the world gaining invaluable experience and knowledge in various facets of the travel industry.

I spent many years in the corporate travel world working with and planning trips for presidents and CEO’s of major financial service companies. For more than 10 years I worked in the incentive travel industry planning travel and handling air ticketing for groups as large as 3,000 people to multiple destinations worldwide.

My true passion is the luxury travel market and my objective is to curate amazing life-changing journeys for a select group of clientele who share the same desires and passions for traveling the world as I do.

30 years later I still have the same exhilaration and excitement planning amazing experiences for my clients as I do for my own trips.

I truly believe travel has the ability to change us. I look forward to curating your next journey, and to possibly instilling in you the same wonder and excitement that I know an incredible trip has the power to give.”

Robin McInnis, CEO - The Gifted Traveler

Like many of her clients, Robin has a heart for giving back. That is why a percentage of profits have gone to supporting charitable projects worldwide, and providing opportunity to women and children both here in the U.S. and around the world.

And our happy clients say…

“Robin has arranged numerous trips for us, both cruise and land based tours. Her organization is impeccable and she is always there to help when and where needed, 24 hours a day…..even if you are on the other side of the world! We are excited to start planning our next adventure always looking to Robin for the best of travel ideas.”

— Jim and Kay Olsen Newport Beach, CA

"As a family we believe in the power of travel to unlock and expand our shared horizons and experiences of the world. Robin, and LUXE Travel, has been a tremendous resource and expert that ensures every trip is planned to meet our needs and customized so that we all experience the: culture, environment, activities, and cuisine that our family enjoys.”

—Travis W. Orange County, CA

“Robin monitored Australia’s horrible forest fires while we were cruising to Sydney that would affect our land arrangements after arrival. She was in constant contact, suggesting alternatives, and arranged a last minute revision which made it stress free for us… Robin’s value far exceeds the cost of travel! An added bonus - she’s a terrific person!”

— Calla and Robbie Dunn Scotch Creek, British Columbia

Robin has been my travel advisor for years and many trips. As an agent, her expertise, relationships, experience and personal service have created memorable and magical trips. And in times of crises and travel hiccups, Robin is hands-on to resolve the problem and find the best solution for me. I value Robin’s integrity, conscientiousness, relationship service and her commitment to others.

—Chris Hardy Scottsdale, AZ

“While Robin is always very appreciative of our business — let us tell you — we are more appreciative of her. Robin’s vast knowledge and experiences of worldwide travel, coupled up with her approach to problem solving when things don’t go as planned, has cemented our business relationship for life. Robin is one to always make sure that the best value is achieved while presenting all options to match your budget, schedules and dreams.”
