COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions about working with our advisors
We have five advisors, Robin, Loretta, Monica, Gabby, and Lisa. The team is lead from 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.
