Myra Orkin
Scottsdale, Arizona Travel Agent
Luxury Travel Agent
My travel philosophy is that if you’re a people person, you’ll find any place you visit interesting. I also believe a key factor in turning a client’s ordinary vacation into an unforgettable experience is being able to offer them those special excursions they weren't even aware existed. I have strong relationships with wonderful suppliers and guides and together we can bring your unique journey to life. I love planning off-the-beaten-path adventures for my clients where they can take in all of the culture, cuisine and experiences our world has to offer. My goal is for you to return from your travels with memories to last a lifetime.

Meticulously arranged travels
For more than 20 years Myra has planned nearly a dozen trips for us with destinations including California, UK, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, China, Hong Kong and Singapore. Each trip was detailed to our specific needs and infused with fabulous and fun excursions as well as knowledgeable guides and drivers. Her hotel recommendations have been consistently exceptional and she’s gone out of her way to source and arrange our whim. Our most recent trip was nearly 2 months, with a long stay in a lovely London townhouse, a week for 9 family in a gorgeous Trulli house in Puglia, an overnight Venice-Paris on the Orient Express and a charming apartment on the Left Bank. The highlight was dinner in the Eiffel Tower and guided scavenger hunt at the Louve for our granddaughter’s birthday. All meticulously arranged by Myra and her wonderful connections. We can highly recommend Myra Orkin!

Myra is a real joy to work with on planning our abroad trips. You can tell Myra has assembled a team of smart, competent agencies that provide not only a wide variety of experiences, but the guides are amazing, providing so much deep information on the topic being investigated, the accomodations superb (clean and well-equipped), and the support in case is needed is always there. We've completed two trips with Myra as the lead (London and Paris) and there are no words to explain how wonderful they both were!

Above and Beyond
She was very helpful throughout the whole process, booking our flights and making our travel arrangements with a top-notch tour company. Then British Airways simply canceled our flights at the last minute and we needed to find new ones, and when we finally did leave on our trip, our luggage was lost. Through all of this, Myra was in communication with us and working hard to salvage our vacation, finding flights that worked, even at the busy holiday season, and helping to track our luggage in spite of a time zone difference of nine hours.

The trip of a lifetime
Myra has been a joy to work with. She planned an amazing honeymoon for my new husband and me. Her recommendations on cities to visit, where to stay and must-see sites were spot on. It was hands down the most incredible trip we've ever taken. The service and food at all the hotels were top notch. It was also incredible having every airport and hotel transfer taken care of. All we had to do was relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Heaven on earth
Myra has been our go to agent now for many years. She really works hard to get exactly the type of vacation we want. She is easily accessible and has been helpful when we are away and things don't go as planned. I always enjoy working with her.
