Travel Haus

A voyage fit for a queen & king.

By Alina Makhnovetsky

Wouldn’t it be grand if someone whisked you away for a women’s weekend getaway, in London, filled your mornings with shopping excursions and sight seeing, afternoons with high tea and evenings with theatre outings?

Typically, unless one of your super organized girlfriends creates an itinerary, after countless hours of searching on the net, the odds of a well planned and a stress free vacation are as probable as winning the World Series, two years in a row. That is, unless you booked with Travel Haus and your team is the Phillies.

The Souderton based agency has created a niche in the industry, moving away from their lucrative corporate accounts and instead focusing on group travel, specializing in wedding destination trips, family reunions, women’s getaways, cruises and their coveted “Travel With The Boss” expedition.

The boss is Suzi Berry, a veteran in the industry who stepped in as the sole proprietor of Travel Haus four years ago, after a 17-year stint at the agency. Now, Berry and her self-described ‘right hand’ of a manager Liza Leister are devoted to creating memorable, one-of-a-kind vacation for their clients.

Next October, Berry plans to escort a private group for an inclusive tour of Egypt, as part of her yearly “Travel with the Boss” signature tour. Once there, Berry’s voyage will include a stay at a deluxe hotel, private views, entrances and guided tours of Cairo, the pyramids and museums. Next, Berry will also invite her guests on a 4-night cruise along the Nile River with an excursion to Alexandria. “This is not going to be a bus tour, where tourists look like cattle,” laughs Berry. Instead, guests will be treated to scrumptious dinners and private tours with fluent English speaking guides. “The tour really starts from our office, we arrange for a car to the airport and our journey begins,” explains Berry.

“A common misconception,” says Berry, “is the idea that travel agents will bombard you with extra charges and it’s quite the contrary, we often hear about great deals before they hit the internet and the agency is paid by vendors, not the clients.”

Now, with zero excuses left, there isn’t a better time to get out and see a bit of the world, and with a luxury trip planned and your very own private escort, all you have to do is show up!

Travel Haus is located at 131 E. Broad Street in Souderton. For more information, visit www.trvlhaus.com or call (215) 723-8687.
