“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.”

“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!”

“It was thrilling to wake up everyday with an amazing adventure and delicious meals all planned meticulously by our lovely Martha. She listens and is on top of all situations and changes as they arise. Our accommodations and their locations were picture perfect. Travel was never so easy!!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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. “

“Martha is the perfect host! She’s very organized, detail oriented, and fun. She goes above and beyond to make sure each person has a wonderful experience. She pivots and comes up with plan B if weather does not cooperate for outdoor activities. She truly wants everyone to have a unique and incredibly memorable vacation!”

The memories of the sights in Morocco will linger in my mind. Morocco captivates your heart in a way that is hard to imagine. So many colors woven with love. The trip was carefully planned to get a local flavor of Morocco, the culture of the land, with ample time for indulging in self-care and shopping. As a solo traveler, I found the group that was on the trip to be welcoming and helpful. I got to know Morocco, but also made friends with each of the women on the trip. What a bonus!

A wonderful experience! My second Morocco trip, but first experience with My Next Chapter Travel Group. While I left my home as a solo traveler, I returned with 14 new friends and future travel companions. The trip was jam packed with experiences, events and wonderful meals but a few standouts were: our Moroccan cooking class, The Selman Sunday brunch and horse show and ceramic factory tour with shopping. I bought a gorgeous assortment of traditional patterned platters, bowls and small cups, all shipped by the factory so it was not necessary to carry them home! Martha shepherded our group onto and off our small bus, keeping us on schedule and deftly navigated the very few small hiccups with aplomb and kindness. I will surely travel with My Next Chapter Travel again and cannot wait to learn the 2027 upcoming destinations.

This was my first trip with Next Chapter Travel. I had always wanted to visit Provence and this trip was everything I hoped it would be— accommodations at an incredible villa, delicious food, interesting and fun sightseeing, and the shopping! Best of all was the chance to share this with the most amazing group of women. Thank you, Martha, for your expertise in planning so many fabulous experiences. It’s hard to pick just one, but probably running through the lavender fields, Carrières des Lumières, and shopping with/helping the chef prepare one of our evening meals were among my favorites!

How does one sum up a trip of a lifetime to Morocco??!! Martha and her company Next Chapter went over the top to be sure we were all pampered and well taken care of. The accommodations were luxurious and the food delicious, but the best part was the other ladies on our trip, most of whom I’d never met but now consider good friends. Everyone was so kind and compassionate, and we all shared a love of travel and new experiences; cooking classes, camel rides, etc. But the activity we all enjoyed most was probably shopping!!! (and spa treatments!)

This experience was even more than I expected. The level of planning and execution by NCT is worth every penny. From prior to travel, the information and communication provides everything you need to the last detail upon arrival at home. During the trip, Martha's constant attention to detail is above par. But beyond the trip, the experience of spending time with Martha is life changing! Words cannot express the level of joy and peace I found on this fantastic voyage.

"Martha organized an amazing trip to Provence! The villa was stunning and very comfortable with excellent staff and a talented chef who prepared beautiful breakfasts by the poolside and delicious multi-course dinners. Visits to villages were led by a friendly and knowledgeable local guide familiar with the region's history, culinary scene and best shopping venues for Provencal goods. We enjoyed interesting wines, lunches in charming gardens, artisanal chocolate, and festive village markets. Martha attended to every detail and made sure that our days were a perfect blend of fun and relaxation."
