Let's Collaborate!
Experiences
I often talk with travelers who simply aren't getting what they want out of their DIY vacations. That's because why you travel and how you travel matter just as much as where you travel to—and the online booking tools used by the masses don't bother asking you about this.
From relaxing in chic B&Bs to exploring medieval castles, and from private tropical island retreats to family discovery trips, your travel experiences should reward you—every time.

xplore & Connect
Connect with the world and with each other as you experience the rich cultures around you. Discover history where it was made, learn the ropes from a local tradesperson, or push your limits on an arctic expedition—the possibilities are endless!
Prefer the water? Whether you're a fan of river cruises, private yachts, expedition ice-breakers, elegant ocean liners or rock star, rebel-luxe voyages, your ship has come in! Guests of Ms. Guided Travel enjoy extras like shipboard credits, spa treatments, and exclusive excursions.

About
Meet the Ms. Guided Founder, Jessica Avery
Do you know what I love most about my work? Incurable case of wanderlust aside, what I truly cherish as an inspiration junkie is the privilege of being a part of designing and implementing people's dreams. I believe that travel is an extra-special part of our personal story, so let's craft it like a best-seller!
I also take tremendous pride in being your personal advocate, before, during and after your travels. Providing first-class, personalized service is an integral part of my business and I strive to deliver the impossible as a matter of routine. Travel and culture are my passions, but building and maintaining relationships is my strength.
History, literature, art, and music have spurred on many of my travel adventures. One of my most moving travel memories is listening to "Wind of Change" in Gorky Park during Russia's 1992 political transition period, and "Africa" while touring an African wildlife preserve in Malawi. It's incredible to find yourself in the very moments you've only previously dreamed about.
What's fueling your passion to roam and to where? Spare me no details, I'd love to hear all about it!
"Leave room for spontaneity. Life's greatest joys happen in unplanned moments."
