Explore Your World Vacations

Fantastic experience: Take us back to Half Moon in Montego Bay! This resort meets 5 stars with impeccable service. Our trip to Jamaica was absolutely incredible, thanks to the exceptional planning and service from Kristi. From start to finish, the experience was truly white glove and thoughtfully handled, with professionalism and great guidance. She worked with us through multiple changes and adjustments without missing a beat, ensuring everything was seamless and stress-free. Half Moon is an absolutely gorgeous property, with so much to do, and it truly makes you feel like you’re on a private island. We felt completely taken care of and it was easy to relax and fully enjoy our vacation. We can’t recommend highly enough! Thank you, Kristi and Team!!

Fantastic experience: We just returned from Greece planned by Kristi and we couldn’t recommend her more! She was a fantastic resource from the beginning helping us decide which islands we wanted to explore. The resorts/hotels we visited were incredible and even better than we could have imagined. It was so nice not having to worry about transfers as a family of 5 with a toddler. Responsiveness was great before and during our trip! We even had a couple of last minute things booked for us while we were there. Without Kristi, we probably wouldn’t have went to the island of Naxos and that ended up being our favorite place!

Fantastic experience: Kristi and her team planned the PERFECT honeymoon for us. Working with them was the best decision we’ve made. Absolutely no notes. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Kristi planned the perfect Akumal destination wedding for my husband and I. She truly listened to all of our needs and delivered on the most memorable day of our lives. The organization of our entire wedding party's travel plans was top notch; allowing us to just enjoy the moment. 100% would recommend!

Fantastic experience: From start to finish Kristi and her team were amazing. I was looking to put together a nice trip for our senior grad and was not disappointed with the final results. All accommodations, travel and excursions were top notch. My whole family felt the experience was amazing and that says something when you're traveling with two hard to impress teenagers! Costa Rica was absolutely amazing, and I know I would never have been able to put together a trip like Explore Your World Vacations on my own. I will be using Kristi to plan my next trip.

Fantastic experience: Kristi been my travel designer for well over a decade specializing in bucket list, unique travel experiences tailored to exactly meet your needs. As someone who has traveled often in life, it was nice to turn over the reigns to someone who I know I can trust to plan a luxury trip for each occasion the meets and exceeds my standards. The first trip was a single group of friends who decided we wanted to go on a Safari. As we began to look into the options, it became overwhelming and I reached out to Kristi. She tailored a perfect experience to Kenya working with our timeline and budget. No words can truly capture how amazing that experience was and from that moment on, Kristi has been my go to for a quick all-inclusive girls trips for whatever mood we were feeling, luxury one of a kind travel, or even one of my best friend’s wedding. The wedding experience was so relaxing for everyone. She even showed up for an added touch to say hello and make sure everything was going smoothly. Our most recent experience was a yacht trip in Croatia. This trip was planned with so many breathtaking locations from beginning to end and a curated group of people that made the overall experience better than I could have ever imagined. Kristi was there and able to answer any questions, handle any issues, make recommendations for restaurant’s (fantastic for the fellow foodies who enjoy a Michelin star experience) , and keep us updated on everything to do with our travel. If you ever want a travel specialist that can make your travel experience unique to your specific needs or event, she’s your woman. She gives the personal touch with a kind heart and an even keel temperament to ensure your experience is everything you want it to be without any of the stress.

Fantastic experience: Kristi did a amazing job with our Honeymoon itinerary.

Fantastic experience: Kristi was amazing!! She worked with us to plan our honeymoon based on the destinations we wanted to see and the amount we wanted to spend! The resorts we stayed at and the excursions she recommended were great!! The travel app she uses to store all train tickets, excursion tickets, and hotel information is amazing and super useful! We used it a lot during our trip! We also appreciated the champagne and pictures she coordinated to have in our room! That was so sweet! I would 100% recommend Kristi when planning any trips!!

Fantastic experience: Kristi and her team were wonderful from start to finish… so much that- we just returned from our honeymoon and are planning for our 1 year anniversary trip! Kristi planned the best honeymoon ever for 2 weeks in Hawaii! We spent the first week in Maui, and the second in Kuaui! Her attention to detail, being personable with her clients and quick response time is unmatched. The app alone was one of our favorites. All we had to do wa click a button and find out what, when and where- from flights, to excursions to rental cars, Kristi had it down! Anything you needed while on vacation, it was as if she was traveling with you. Even being 6 hours behind Kristi was attentive and responsive. We even ended up with a little surprise in one of our hotels! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Fantastic experience: We booked our honeymoon with the help of Kristi! She was truly amazing. From start to finish she listened to all of our wants of an all inclusive resort and found us the perfect adult only resort. (Excellence El Carmen). She was always available to help answer any resort or travel questions. Also she had a travel app that included all the flight, transportation and hotel info. Which she organized and booked it all for me. I would definitely recommend Kristi for anyone booking their honeymoon or vacation! She helped make our honeymoon perfect.

Fantastic experience: Kristy was fabulous to work with! My husband and I had no idea where we wanted to go for our 10year anniversary we just knew we wanted to go somewhere all inclusive with a beautiful beach, amazing food and drinks and where we could just relax for a week. Kristy found us the most perfect resort, Atelier Playa Mujeres. Our vacation was everything we wanted and more. Don't think we would have found this resort without Kristy. We would have settled for way less and would have probably paid more. She definitely knows the travel business and was super helpful with every detail, from flights to Covid Info. Definitely would recommend Kristy with Explore your world vacations!

Fantastic experience: Excellent recommendations for hotels and tours in Europe! Everything was extremely smooth and seamless! A true “worry free” vacation.

Fantastic experience: Kristi was so amazing from start to finish. Our amazing vacation was spent in the most beautiful resort that waited on us hand and need. Highly recommend Kristi for every travel need from COVID Details to where to go and how to get home! She is amazing.

Fantastic experience: I had a phenomenal experience planning my bucket list trip to Rwanda through Explore Your World Vacations! Kristi made the process extremely easy and created an amazing itinerary which encompassed specific things we wanted to see/do as well as recommendations of other excursions which truly added to the trip. One of, if not the most memorable trip I have ever taken. We have used Kristi and Explore Your World Vacations for a few trips now and will continue to use them without hesitation!

Fantastic experience: I was so excited for the first post-COVID girls' trip, but was having trouble getting my passport replaced in time (the dog decided to take a bite out of it). Two days before the trip I was devastated thinking I wasn't going to make it- enter Kristi. She worked tirelessly to find a way to get me an appointment at the passport agency and get my passport just in time. If that wasn't enough, the trip she planned for us was AMAZING! Gorgeous resort with all the amenities we could ask for. We all had a blast and I can't thank Kristi enough for making sure I got to be a part of the trip. Her personal touch really put everything over the top, I can't recommend her highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Kristi is awesome! She originally planned our honeymoon to be in Belize, but once Covid hit, we had to replan since Belize boarders were closed. Luckily, Kristi was on the phone with us discussing next steps and new ideas. We ended up selecting an amazing resort in Cancun! Kristi would check in with us throughout our stay to make sure everything was great! I would 10/10 recommend Kristi, she takes the stress out of planning a trip!

Fantastic experience: Kristi Zalesky made our anniversary dreams come true. We stayed on budget and had a trip of a lifetime!!!

Fantastic experience: I have always done hours of my own research and booked my own trips online. After all, who needs a travel agent when you have the internet? After working with Kristi from Explore Your World, I am a convert! I still did all the same research and price shopping and comparisons on my own, but found it was all for naught. Kristi didn't just match the best prices I could find, but beat them by around $200 and included airport transfers which saved us even more money. Plus there was so much more that Kristi did for us including gathering all our travel documents with all our information in one simple place and provided us with phone numbers for any emergencies or problems during our travel. The peace of mind that Kristi provided us during our international travel would have been well worth an additional $200, only instead it was all included in our incredibly competitive rate. I started working with Kristi with the question "Why does any one use a travel agent?" But now after our trip, I have to ask "Why would anyone NOT use a travel agent?"
