Welcome to Marcelle Travel

Many of my favorite memories throughout life have come from traveling with family and friends. I’ve always loved the excitement of planning the next trip—finding the perfect hotel, discovering great restaurants, and uncovering unique experiences, all while creating meaningful time together. That passion inspired me to create Marcelle Travel, with the goal of making travel planning something you look forward to every time.

    "Everything was spectacular."

    What Kristi has done for us on the last two trips has been so wonderful, we will not take another trip without her help. We couldn’t be happier.

    "Our trip to Japan was absolutely fabulous."

    Staying together in Kyoto for the week with all nine of us was perfect. The experiences Kristi arranged—especially the drum class and the geisha visit—were unforgettable highlights. Thank you for arranging such a wonderful trip!

    "Kristi Marcelle is the best travel advisor we’ve ever worked with!"

    Her deep knowledge and understanding of our family make every recommendation feel perfectly tailored. We’ve traveled the world with her, from New Zealand and Morocco to Japan and East Africa, and trust her completely to handle every detail with care, honesty, and creativity. Even our kids say it best: whenever a travel question comes up, the answer is always, “ask Kristi.”
