When you work with Travel by Nikki, you work directly with me from start to finish. Behind the scenes, my affiliation with Travel with Awestruck, gives my clients access to a larger network including 1300+ luxury hotel and resort partners, 230+ destination partners, thousands of villas and private homes and preferred yacht and private aviation partners.

I am an Ohio-based award-winning, ASTA Verified Travel Advisor, certified through the Travel Institute.

I plan effortless, custom, elevated travel experiences designed just for you so you can relax and enjoy your vacation without the work of managing every detail.

This is for you if…

You want a great trip – without the second guessing

You are busy and do not have time to research for hours.

You want luxury that is actually worth it.

You want honest guidance, not every resort being called “amazing.”

You want someone to tell you what is worth upgrading and what is not

You want expert guidance and insider access.

Luxury does not mean wasting money. It means knowing where to spend, where to save, what is worth upgrading, and what is just a nicer chair with better lighting

Why Clients Book with Me

Nikki Trefzger Luxury travel advisor planning custom vacations to Europe and the Caribbean

Because planning a vacation has gotten weirdly complicated.

Sometimes too much information stops being helpful and just becomes too much information. There are too many options, too many reviews, too many “must-do” lists, and too many people online giving advice based on one trip they took in 2018.
I help you cut through that.

From my career in corporate America to years spent at home raising my children, I understand how full life can be, and how valuable your time truly is.

I believe the world is meant to be experienced, not just talked about. Travel gives us perspective, creates connection, and is one of the greatest gifts we can give our families.
That’s why I do things differently.

I handle every detail with care, intention, and expertise, so you can experience something seamless, meaningful, and truly worth your time

You take care of everything, all day every day, and you deserve to be taken care of too.

What my clients say

  • Nikki made this trip so easy for us. She did everything and was very responsive throughout the process. She was able to talk us through what to expect and if we had any problems, she was on it. I would 100% use Nikki to book future vacations.

    — Greg

  • We have used Nikki for several family vacations, and every trip has been amazing! She handles every detail seamlessly and always tailors everything perfectly to our needs. Traveling as a family is so much easier and stress-free because of her. We’re so grateful and highly recommend her!!

    — Kristy

  • Nikki set us up with our first ever trip to Ireland celebrating our 20 year Anniversary! It has been a smooth and simple process so far. We’re so glad to have a travel advisor looking out for us from beginning to end!

    — Nicole

  • This is our 3rd trip with Nikki in less than a year and we are completely satisfied with her service. We have done a cruise, a beach resort and now planning a European adventure. Nikki is patient with our questions and timely in her responses. She listened to our desires and interests and planned a perfect itinerary. We get hints and suggestions on packing and everything else we need to know.

    — Terri

  • Our experience with Travel by Nikki was Top Notch , we had not traveled in years and was looking forward to start! Nikki had everything planned for us from the beginning. She guided us on each step we needed to take which helped tremendously. Since our All Inclusive trip we are currently looking to book again in near future and will only use Travel by Nikki!! We have definitely recommended her to friends and family who have been Very satisfied!!

    — Robin

  • Nikki was amazing! This was my first time using a travel agent, and I’ll never travel without one again...especially not without her. Everything was seamless, every detail was handled, and the pre-trip emails with tips and reminders were such a great touch. We had such a great time that we already booked another trip to Mexico in March. Highly recommend!

    — Sue

  • Wow. Nikki at Awestruck Travel made our trip to Costa Rica a real adventure. She listened to what we were interested in and proposed itinerary options that fit within our budget. I have planned global trips before on my own, but the unique experiences we had — from personal guides to lunch at a Costa Rican home to fun adventures — were not experiences that I would have been able to pull together on my own. And it was all stress free! Highly recommend Nikki from Awestruck Travel.

    — Joan

  • Nikki was great in arranging our cruise and was even better when we had to cancel due to a medical issue. She helped us work through collecting on the travel insurance. We were able to collect everything ($$$) to which we were entitled.

…and sometimes, even a great deal!

Maybe it’s because I spend way too much time in airports, but I find myself wondering if people have forgotten that there are other people in the world with them. Basic (not complicated) travel etiquette goes a long way. 1. Nobody wants to he
