Our Travel Specialties
"Lise Marie and everyone at Sterling Journeys were just fantastic to work with!"
They’re high level of professionalism, enthusiasm, acknowledge was second to none. We came to them for guidance and help in planning a special, romantic, and magical honeymoon… And they delivered! Every step of the process seemed simple and uncomplicated. They had a way of listening to what we had in mind, making suggestions, and then working with us in compiling something that was truly magical. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and with their business. We will definitely be using them in the future and will recommend them with enthusiasm.

"Lise Marie is available 24/7 while we travel."
She is not only an agent who books our trips, but is available any time day or night to make sure everything goes as it should. Very willing to help and extremely knowledgeable about all the products she recommends and books for us! Looking forward to many more bookings with Lise Marie! Have also recommended Lise Marie to friends and they were also very happy and had a great experience!

"Lise-Marie has always been truly amazing when arranging all of our travel needs."
She takes the time to make sure that each detail of every trip is taken care of and that every little thing is taken care of and in order so that we do not have to worry about it or think about it on our trip. Each trip that she has planned for us has been absolutely exceptional and we are so appreciative of her expertise and care. We believe that she truly puts her heart and soul into making sure that we are 100% taken care of and that we are truly satisfied after each trip. We would not use anyone else to plan these amazing adventures for us as we know that she is absolutely the BEST at what she does! She really does care and has become someone we can also call our friend

"Lise-Marie and Sterling Wertanzl of Sterling Journeys deliver highly personalized bespoke travel adventures that always exceed our expectations."
They listen carefully and match us with just the perfect providers who can deliver what were looking for and then some, each and every time. This time it was a month long educational adventure in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. Thank you so much!

"Lise-Marie Wertanzl has been planning my travel for many years."
She is a pleasure to work with. Extremely knowledgeable and responsive. Her attention to detail is unsurpassed. This last trip traversed us through 12 countries, and it went off without a glitch; thanks to her. I highly recommend her and Sterling Journeys. Five Star all the way.

"Sandy is easy to work with."
When planning our trip, she asks all the right questions, listens to what we are saying, and has great suggestions. Her team is also great. They get back quickly with answers to our questions. They planned a great trip for us to Portugal. We will be using their service again for our next trip.
