River Cruising · Europe · Ocean & Expedition

Life is short.
Take the trip.

Gotta Go Travel Agency plans custom trips for people who would rather spend their time traveling than researching. The internet will find you a hotel. It will not tell you which side of the ship has the castle views, which morning the market runs, or the village everyone drives straight past that they should not.

River cruises, Europe, ocean and expedition sailings, escorted group tours, and the occasional week somewhere warm. We plan the whole thing, send you one clear itinerary, and stay on the other end of the phone. You just go.

Where do you dream about going

We plan trips people talk about for years.

A river cruise down the Danube. The Cliffs of Moher on a windy afternoon. A morning in Santorini before the crowds. A week at an all inclusive resort where somebody else cooks.

We book custom trips for individuals and families, and we book escorted group tours too. Either way you get one clear itinerary, honest advice about what is worth the money, and a real person to call if a flight goes sideways.

We are based in Colorado Springs and we plan travel for clients all over the country.

What we do best

What type of travel calls to you?

These are the trips we know inside out. If what you want is not on this list, ask anyway.

River Cruising

You unpack once and the scenery comes to you. The ships are small, they dock right in the middle of town, and the service is warm without being fussy. Easy days, beautiful views out your window every morning, and no schedule to fight with.

Ireland

Ireland is our favorite place on earth. Castles, the Wild Atlantic Way, music in the pubs, and a green that never photographs the way it looks in person. We build the trip around how you like to travel, whether that is driving it yourself or having a guide handle everything.

Custom Europe

Planning Europe on your own gets overwhelming fast. We sort out the flights, the trains, the hotels, the private guides, and the dinner reservations that are hard to get. Then we send you one itinerary with everything in order. Big cities, small villages, or both.

Ocean & Expedition Cruising

Ocean cruising is the easiest way to see several countries in one trip. Expedition cruising takes you places most people never get to see. We book both, including National Geographic, Scenic, and Emerald, and we will tell you honestly which one suits you.

I was bitten by the travel bug over 20 years ago and I have not shaken it. Ireland, Scotland, London, Switzerland, Italy, the Rhine and the Danube. Europe and river cruising are what I love most. I am with you from the first call to the welcome home.

In their words

What our clients say.

“Carolyn is the most wonderful travel agent out there! I was feeling defeated planning an Italy trip on my own and she brought so much knowledge and expertise that our trip was brought to life and we owe it to her!!! Thank you Carolyn for making our trip of a lifetime reality!”

Pebbles S.

“After our tour to Greece was canceled, we contacted Carolyn. She helped us design a trip tailored to our interests. She also went above and beyond when the airline canceled a leg of our outbound flight. From airport transfers to rental cars and hotels to guided tours, everything was top notch. It was the best trip of my life.”

Yvette

“Working with Tracy was amazing. She was knowledgeable right from the start, knowing the perfect time to vacation to Mexico. Every time I reached out to her she responded quickly. She was an expert preparing the perfect itinerary and booking the best excursions for me and my family. I might just go back to visit Xel-Ha Park, which I never would have thought to visit without her help.”

Cindy

“First time working with Carolyn. Won’t be the last. She is responsive, knowledgeable, and organized. I just got back from a week in Venice with my sister. Every detail was organized into chronological order and played out flawlessly.”
