About
A passionate traveler who makes it happen and plans elaborately. Love for travel is in my DNA, and I pride myself on finding unique experiences and securing reservations for seemingly impossible-to-get places to eat.
Travel style
I thrive on a travel style that embraces the unconventional and seeks out the extraordinary. My preference leans towards boutique hotels that offer not just accommodation but an immersive experience, coupled with impeccable service. Exploring local cuisines is a key highlight of my journeys, as I believe great food is a gateway to understanding a culture. Beyond mere sightseeing, I value experiences that allow me to connect with new cultures and people, as I believe that travel, in its essence, is a soul-nourishing adventure.
Love to find unique restaurants and local food.

Rita's reviews
Rita was on top of everything. She understood our wishes and made sure they were met. She made suggestions and offered options when we asked for them and when she was aware we were uncertain. She’s available to help in the planning, when questions arise near departure, and even during the trip. In addition, Rita is knowledgeable and researches to be sure she has the latest information. Her hotel suggestions met our needs and we enjoyed them. We were fortunate to be referred to her.

Rita is amazing! I told her exactly what we were looking for and she found the best option ever for us within an hour! I found researching hotels in Europe to be a very daunting task and she was able to find the absolute perfect one for us! She is very quick to respond to emails and extremely knowledgable! She will be my go to travel agent from now on!!

I simply cannot say enough about Rita Carton's assistance in planing our trip. First of all, she was, without a doubt, the best Travel Advisor I have ever had. She told us about the Hockney exhibit at the Louis Vuitton museum. She helped us arrange tickets to see a tour of Anne Frank's house. She arranged our hotel accommodations, getting us free breakfasts and a reduced rate. But, you must know that Rita was responsive to all inquiries, returning phone calls within minutes. I hope to use her services in the future.

Rita is extremely professional, knowledgeable and most importantly responsive and personable. Couldn't ask for a better facilitator for any information you might want or desire on all your travel plans. You're in the best of hands with Rita.
