My name is Cathy Thompson with Refined Expeditions. My clients are provided one-on-one personalized service because I understand the importance of building that unique relationship and really listening to the details of your tastes and interests to give you the most substantive and enriching experience. 

Research and planning are the basis of an incredible and successful travel experience. What sets me apart from other travel advisors is my expertise in creating custom itineraries by searching extensively to find the most efficient route, must-see highlights and hidden gems, finding locally based informative and experienced guides, finding opportunities to experience museums without the crowds to after-hours visits of famous landmarks (privately arranged with luxury travel) and authentic adventures—all to provide the most innovative travel experience possible.  

With established connections to preferred travel suppliers, hotels, and cruise lines, I am confident in my ability to fashion the perfect itinerary for you. While I am versatile in planning various types of travel, my specialization lies in South Africa Safari Tours, Cape Town, Stellenbosch winery tours, Machu Picchu and Lima, Portugal, and meticulously crafted multi-destination itineraries.  I am also a certified Aussie Specialist and Aboriginal Experiences specialist to help you with your next trip to Australia.

You will receive support, expert advice, and personalized service and can be assured that I will be there for you from your first contact with me until you return from your holiday. As a dedicated professional, I continually invest in my personal development through ongoing training and certifications, ensuring that I provide informed and specialized expertise for exceptional travel experiences. 

Let’s start planning your next adventure, luxurious escape, African Safari, culturally immersed expedition or the ultimate family experience to give you something to look forward to. Travel your way!
