What is it like to work with a travel advisor at Charlie Brown's Goodtime Travel?
Get Your Time Back
Here’s the thing: planning a great trip isn’t hard because you’re not capable. It’s hard because there’s too much information, too many options, and no one helping you sort through what actually matters for your specific trip. That’s where we come in.
Expertise You Can't Google
Google is great at telling you what’s popular. I’m great at telling you what’s actually best — for you, your travel style, your budget, and the experience you’re trying to create.
There’s a big difference between those two things.
Popular means thousands of people liked it. Best means it’s right for your anniversary, your group of five, your non-negotiables, your wish list. I know which resorts actually deliver on their promises. I know which room categories are worth the upgrade and which ones aren’t. I know which itineraries look beautiful on paper and which ones will leave you exhausted by day three.
That knowledge doesn’t come from a search engine. It comes from doing this every single day.
Someone In Your Corner
Never feel like you’re alone in the planning process or during your vacation. We offer support pre, during, and post trip to make sure you have the best experience.
"The best trip isn't the most popular one. It's the one that feels like it was made for you — because it was."
COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions about working with our advisors
We currently have four luxury travel advisors, Robin, Loretta, Gabby, and Monica. The team is based in Colorado Springs and Loveland, Colorado. Every advisor specializes in different areas rather than covering everything.
Designs the whole journey with your wish list in mind. One advisor takes you from the first conversation to the flight home: they learn how you travel — the pace, the standard, the reason for the trip — then build the itinerary, hold the reservations, and answer the phone if something moves at three in the morning in another time zone. You are not passed between departments, and you never explain deal with a robot or automation.
Since 1985 – we have forty years of creating unique experiences across more than 100 countries. With that history, we have built strong relationships with the best suppliers around the world. These connections are worth their weight in gold and make the difference between a good vacation and a great one.
Charlie Brown’s Goodtime Travel is a part of a consortium (fancy word for travel club) that gives us access to the stays you won’t find on Google or ChatGPT. Our partnership with NEST, Travelsavers, and the American Marketing Group allows us to give you premier access to the finest hotels, cruises, transfers, tours, cuisine, and more.
Once we know what type of trip or destination you’re looking for – we match you with the advisor that specializes in that area. You can also ask for a specific advisor by name.
The majority of our team is in Colorado Springs, while our advisor, Gabrielle Lopez, lives further north in Loveland, Colorado.
Yes. Ask for them by name when you get in touch and you will be introduced directly. If you have no preference, we match you to the advisor whose ground your trip is — which usually produces a better itinerary than picking a name from a page.
Start by booking a free consultation with your destination, dates, and party size. The call carries no obligation, it’s a conversation, not a checkout. Our advisors will give you their best estimate of the cost your trip may be if you’re looking to budget for a trip down the road. Whether you’re traveling in three months or three years, it never hurts to get the outline of what it looks like to work with us.
