Traveler Reviews

  • Martha is a wonderful trip leader with great energy, enthusiasm and care for her guests. The Portugal trip was terrific--great hotels, amazing meals, and terrific guides. I would highly recommend The Next Chapter Travel for a unique and memorable trip.

  • Martha assembled an amazing experience for our group in Portugal. There were so many learning opportunities and different experiences to be had but it was all optional in case you needed time to be out on your own exploring. I appreciated her attention to detail with all the communications as well as book & shopping recommendations. I came away with new friends and a love of Portuguese culture and history. And the restaurants she arranged were really out of this world, you definitely won't go hungry!

  • The trip was perfect in every respect! The Reid’s Palace where we stayed was lovely, the staff cooperative and accommodating, the food delicious and the views spectacular! The additional trips Martha organized around the island to the Cable car ride, the botanical gardens, the “sled ride” down the road and the tour of the western half of the island gave one a lovely perspective of the various gifts this island has to offer to tourists! I appreciate Martha’s attention to detail, her never failing desire for knowledge and her kindness to all who she comes in contact with!

  • Martha planned an outstanding summer trip to Paris for my family of five. She found us an incredible apartment in the 6th arrondissement where we had space to enjoy downtime and cook a few meals. She planned excellent food and walking tours, connected us to stellar guides, and made us restaurant reservations at both famous restaurants and hidden gems.

  • Martha allowed us to discover Ireland in a truly special way. From the accommodations and meals to the driver and tours, everything was so well planned! I would not hesitate to sign up for another trip with The Next Chapter Travel!

  • TNCT’s meticulously designed schedule included exclusive tours, spa options, fascinating cultural and historical experiences. Martha and her local team anticipated what our group would most enjoy and where and when. This adventure was exciting, engaging, elevated, fun, relaxing, and seamless.
